Superior video switching and audio performance ensure easy compatibility with today's demanding HD sources. The STR-DG1200 features 4 High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI™) inputs which are capable of accepting resolutions up to 1080p, offering the exceptional video quality that Blu-ray Disc format can deliver.

Up to 8 channels of Linear PCM audio

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 HDMI Active Intelligence produces both audio and video through one HDMI cable (sold separately).

Faroudja® DCDi Cinema™ Chipset for Up Scaling to 1080p
The IC processor developed by Faroudja and first used by Sony upscales video signals (less than 1080p) to 1080p via HDMI. This chipset reduces image jaggedness and block noise, while reproducing colors that are closer to the original. The end result is a beautiful and smooth high definition image.

This advanced menu system incorporates icons, an easy to follow tree system and a blending technique so users know exactly where they are among the various settings while still watching their main video source (up to 1080i). The menu includes access to DIGITAL MEDIA PORT accessories (sold separately), which lets you assign HDMI inputs and provides independent A/V sync control for each input. It's simple. Just pick up the remote and a whole new experience will be revealed.

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 Digital Signal Processing uses feedback between the microphone and receiver to optimize sound settings.

Sirius and XM Connect-and-Play™ Ready
