Up to 8 channels of Linear PCM audio plus Dolby Labs ® (Dolby Digital +/Dolby TrueHD) and dts ® (DTS HD) The STR -
DA4300ES will offer full compatibility with Blu-ray Disc® 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® ( Dolby Digital Plus/Dolby TrueHD) and dts® ( 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®, and first used by Sony,
which will up scale and up convert all video signals (less than 1080p) to 1080p via HDMI . 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, S-video and component cables can not only be up converted to a
HDMI™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.
2
Down Conversion Component and S-video sources can be down converted to lower resolution outputs, thus customizing video
connectivity to home theater requirements from a single source. Also, both receivers can take HD sources from component video and
down convert the signal for use with composite or S-Video ouputs. This is ideal for distributing video through multiple rooms with less
wires.
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
