The STR-DA4300ES 7.1 A/V receiver will accept 1080/60p and 24p HD video formats, x.v.Color(TM) (xvYCC) and Deep Color while providing 3 HDMI(TM) connections. Sony's Digital MEDIA Port makes this model iPod(R) Ready (accessory sold separately) and features BRAVIA(R) Theater Sync technology for One-Touch Play. Don't worry, we haven't forgotten about audio; the receiver is also capable of reproducing the latest audio formats from Dolby Labs(R) (Dolby Digital +/Dolby TruHD) and dts(R) (dts(R) High Resolution Audio and dts(R) HD Master Audio).

Optimized for Blu-ray Disc and Other HD Sources
The STR-DA4300ES is engineered to be the ideal Blu-ray Disc(R) A/V receiver, fully compatible with Sony(R) family of Blu-ray Disc Players. Superior video switching and audio performance ensure seamless compatibility with today's demanding HD sources. The STR-DA4300ES features up to three High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI(TM)) inputs which are capable of accepting resolutions up to 1080p, offering the full video quality that Blu-ray Disc(R) format can deliver.

Up to 8 channels of Linear PCM audio plus Dolby TruHD and dts HD
The STR-DA4300ES will offer full compatibility with Blu-ray Disc(R) format's linear PCM (uncompressed) output, producing up to eight channels of high quality audio reproduction. The STR-DA4300ES will also have the ability to support the latest audio formats from Dolby Labs(R) (Dolby Digital Plus/Dolby TruHD) and dts(R)(dts HD).

HDMI Active Intelligence
The receiver can detect and receive the best possible video and audio signals from all connected devices-making connection and performance as simple as plugging in a single wire. Sony's HDMI Active Intelligence, produces both audio and video through one HDMI cable.

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.

Sirius and XM Connect-and-Play Ready with Neural Surround
A world of Digital radio at your fingertips. Connect the optional antenna for either Sirius and/or XM subscription service and enjoy the variety and quality of Digital radio with the superior sound quality of an A/V receiver. In addition to stereo, you can enjoy 5.1 surround broadcasting. XM radio is a satellite radio service that provides pay-for-service radio, analogous to cable television.

Portable Audio Enhancer
The ES 7.1 A/V Receivers are ideal for today's portables. A powerful Digital Signal Processor expands the quality of sound from any connected device. Simplified front-side audio and video connections make it easy to play portables through the receiver.

HDMI Output with 720P/1080i and 1080p upscaling of DVD Media
Reads the data on a standard DVD at 480P and maximizes the video Resolution to best fit your HDMI compatible TV. 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.

"Performs everything very well, though the volume display is hard to see when you are more than 5 feet away. One thing, which may be true with other HDMI receivers is that when you have HDMI connected and you turn on another HDMI device the sound cuts out for 5 - 10 seconds as the unit "recognizes" …"  Read Full Review »
