Unveiling Sony’s User-Friendly Home Theatre Systems
As before, this Sony 7.1 HD AV receiver has been improved to make the most of 1080p Blu-ray HD signals. With no less than four HDMI inputs and a monitor output, the Sony STR-DH800 is the most suitable HDMI video switching unit and lets you wire four HDMI equipped tools through a TV with just one input. Moreover, the Sony provides full HD audio decoding. With full x.v colour 1080p compatibility, Dolby True HD and DTS HD, the STR-DH800 is perfectly placed to provide the HD audio to match HD vision.
Although most suitable for 1080p HD, Sony hasn’t forgotten about other sources. With a wide range of inputs and outputs for component, phono, digital optical and coaxial, this Sony home cinema receiver is able to work at the heart of the most universal of home cinema systems. A feature peculiar to Sony is their Digital Media Port. When used with a choice of optional components, this allows for the integration of a wide range of media products, including Apple’s iPod. New to the STR-DH800 is Sony’s S-AIR technology. Used in conjunction with optional transmitter and speakers you can enjoy music in another room, without the need for additional cabling. Another great highlight is the ability to switch from 7.1 to 5.1 with bi-amped front speakers. If you’re looking for the ultimate in sound quality, then bi-amping your front speakers gives greatly improved control and definition of sound.
Although technically advanced, setting up requires only a minimum of time. BRAVIA Sync links to other Sony BRAVIA products via the HDMI to offer remarkable ease of use. Digital Cinema Auto Calibration optimises the settings to your room’s requirements – at the touch of a button.
If you’re keeping a lookout for a budget AV receiver with full HD compatibility and the quality to match, the Sony STR-DH800 is up with the best in its class.
Also available, the Sony STR-DN1000 with HDMI upscaling, video upconversion, improved onscreen display and gloss black finish!

Using Xross Media Bar inspired GUI and Faroudja DCDi Cinema technology, this receiver also upscales all normal definition video sources to 1080p. It even decodes the audio formats from dts and Dolby Labs. Boasting plenty of connectivity options, there are also four HDMI inputs, a digital media port input for use with MP3 players, and XM and Sirius Satellite Radio inputs. Additionally, the Sony STR-DG1200 features digital cinema auto calibration which eases speaker set up in 30 seconds with the push of a single button.
