Faroudja DCDi CINEMA Chipset for Up Scaling to 1080p
IC processor developed by Faroudja(R), and first used by Sony, which will up scale and up convert all video signals (less than 1080p) to 1080p via HDMI3. This chipset corrects image jaggedness; reduces block noise and reproduces true to original colors. The end result is a beautiful and smooth High Definition image.

Cross Media Bar Inspired Graphic User Interface
An on-screen menu system that simplifies the most complex operations of an A/V receiver for home theater applications. This advanced menu system incorporates icons, an easy to follow tree system and a blending technique so users know exactly where they are amongst the various settings while still watching their main video source (up to 1080i). Enhancements made to this year's menu include access to Digital MEDIA Port accessories, the ability to assign HDMI inputs and independent A/V Sync control for each input. It's simple. Just pick up the remote and whole new experience will be revealed.

HDMI Up Scaling
Video sources connected via composite and component cables can not only be up converted to a HDMI(TM) video output but can also be up scaled from its native signal to 1080p (i.e. 480i to 1080p) thus minimizing the number of connections needed from the receiver to the television Display. HDMI supports resolutions up to 1080p and enables both HD video and uncompressed streaming audio to be transmitted through a single cable.

Digital Cinema Auto Calibration
An ideal listening experience is only a button away. Simply place the included microphone in your listening position, push a single button and speaker position, distance and delays are automatically calibrated. Sony's Digital Signal Processing uses feedback between the microphone and receiver to optimize sound settings.

The STR-DA4300ES takes it a step further and allows for DVD Media to be upscaled to 1080p. Overall, this allows for you to enjoy the best in video performance while delivering Digital video and audio over one simple cable.

Precision Cinema Progressive Technology
Many other DVD players detect image changes at the Scan line level-Sony's Precision Cinema Progressive (PCP) system detects them at the Pixel level. The picture is more faithful to the source-whether film or video-because separate, optimized algorithms are used to handle the differing Pixel behavior. Separate algorithms are also used to process the moving and still parts of an image, resulting in sharp backgrounds with moving objects that are virtually free from motion artifacts.
