DESC: After building a phenomenal Home Theater line up, Sony's next challenge was to create an A/V Receiver equally qualified for the new age of home entertainment. The best decoding of Dolby Digital and DTS (Digital Theatre System) signals was just a start. Sony designed their new STR-DA7100ES receiver with even more features and Linear Drive Analog amplifiers that deliver the sound with full impact and impressive subtlety. HDMI Video Up-Conversion from Component, S-Video and Composite formats allows for optimum picture quality from any source. Add Digital Signal Processing that places multi-channel digital sound into the ultimate playback environment and you have the new Sony STR-DA7100ES receiver.
