Want to watch your favorite HD programming in another room of your home? The STR-DA4400ES continues Sony`s heritage in providing an ES AV Receiver that will distribute high definition content to a 2nd room of the home. Its multi-room capabilities don`t stop with HD; this model also can distribute audio to up to 3 rooms!

These multi-room features are accompanied by custom control connections (i.e. RS-232C, 12 volt triggers and IR In/Out) necessary for full home integration. Now, you can start a HD movie in the living room and finish it in the bedroom or listen to your favorites songs from your iPod player, Walkman player or PC (accessories sold separately), located in the living room, on the patio in the backyard.

The STR-DA4400ES ES 7.1 Channel AV Receiver utilizes Sony`s xross media bar™ inspired GUI with Faroudja DCDi Cinema® Technology that can upscale all video sources to 1080p in an intuitive environment for even the most novice of AV enthusiast. Additionally, it will be able to reproduce the latest audio formats from Dolby® Labs (Dolby Digital +/Dolby TrueHD) and dts® (dts HD/dts High Resolution Audio). In true ES fashion, this model incorporates new audio technology by having the ability to decode Direct Stream Digital (DSD) audio sources.

So, the abundant HDMI™ connections (6 Inputs) provide ample room to incorporate a SACD Player with a HDMI output (SACD Player sold separately). It is fully compatible with 1080 60p/24p, Deep Color and x.v.Color video signals. Finally, the STR-DA4400ES features BRAVIA® Sync™ for Theater with "One Touch" control, DIGITAL MEDIA PORT input for use with MP3 portable players or personal computer (accessories sold separately) and is compatible with XM® and Sirius Satellite Radio® making this unit completely SAT Ready.
