| STR-DH520 |
North park, Mar 2, 2011 - Sony today announced the company’s new AV receiver line together with a model that offers a top quality digital home experience with quick access and control of streaming digital music.
The 3D compatible models, which are available these days for pre-sale at www.sonystyle.com, range from the STR-DN1020, STR-DH820, STR-DH720, and STR-DH520 AV receivers. Starting under $500, all purchases will be available this spring
The flagship STR-DN1020 receiver is really a gateway to streaming music with access to Internet audio services including Slacker® and vTuner when connected to an existing broadband home network with the model’s Ethernet port.
The unit is Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA®) certified letting it play digital music from your home PC or other connected DLNA device. It can also stream audio to Sony’s HomeShare® wireless network speakers (sold separately) and features Sony’s PartyStreaming mode with synchronized playback on multiple speakers.
The 7.2 channel, 110 watt (8ohms 1kHz 1% THD) receiver is compatible with the Sony “Media Remote” app that turns an iPhone®, iPod touch® or Android™ mobile device into a handheld remote control. The app, which may be downloaded from the Apple App Store or the Android Marketplace, functions as a full remote with a keyboard manipulating the receiver.
The STR-DN1020 lives up to Sony’s high-quality audio and video standards as well. The model features a Faroudja DCDi Edge video processing chip that up converts and upscales analog signals to near 1080p HD quality via HDMI, while its Digital Legato Linear (D.L.L.) advanced sound processing technology also improves audio fidelity. D.L.L. analyzes standard definition (compressed) audio signals such as Dolby® Digital and dts™ format sound and upscales these phones 192 KHz resulting in high quality audio.
Audio in the receiver is also fine tuned with the help of Sony’s advanced Digital Cinema Auto Calibration (D.C.A.C.) with Automatic Phase Matching and Sound Optimizer technologies.
Utilizing the included microphone, D.C.A.C. measures and analyzes room acoustics, adjusting the receiver’s output to deliver the perfect audio, while allowing all of the speakers to use exactly the same phase as the front channels. At the same time frame, Sound Optimizer automatically improves audio for any consistent surround image at any volume level.
The model is going to be available this might for around $500. A complete list of features includes:
