Sony has introduced its latest high-end AV receiver, designed to form the heart of a complete home entertainment system.
Decent connectivity is the first noticeable point, with six HDMI inputs and two outputs, enabling connection to two displays or projectors for easy switching, plus built-in decoders for Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD Master Audio, eight-channel Linear PCM over HDMI, and advanced audio quality from SACDs.
Boasting 7x130W output, auto-calibration, BRAVIA Sync, 1080/24p, Deep Colour, x.v.Colour, and upscaling, plus a new graphical user interface and picture in picture options.
The STR-DA5400ES also features two digital media ports for connecting up portable music players, and three-zone multiroom functionality.
Sony also introduces two other models. The STR-DA3400ES and STR-DA2400ES offer 7x110W output and a slightly reduced feature set.
