Engineered for high-end home theaters, the STR-DA2400ES elevated standard (ES) 7.1-channel receiver features sophisticated AV technology that reproduces the latest audio formats from Dolby Labs (Dolby Digital +/Dolby TrueHD) and dts (dts HD/DTS high resolution audio). You'll also see the difference with Faroudja DCDi Cinema technology which upscales all your video sources to 1080p when connected through HDMI to a compatible HDTV. Additional features include a 100-watt power amplifier , BRAVIA theater sync (allowing you to manage supported Sony BRAVIA devices), an easy-to-use graphical interface and 4 HDMI inputs that are compatible with 1080 60p/24p, deep color and x.v.color video signals.Customer Review: Took a while to fiquire it out
I was not prepared for the menus GUI, cinema settings, Hdmi ... etc. It was tough start because I had a new 52' Sony TV,blue ray player, new speakers with the receiver. I am a novice with this but eventually I figured it all out. It's a very impressive system for the cost and I'm learning more about it every day!
Customer Review: Amazing Reciever
Sony STR-DA2400ES A/V Receiver I bought this receiver to replace my Denon AVR-1707 which was an amazing 5.1 receiver as well, but I needed to upgrade to compliment my PS3 and 42" TV. So I needed a receiver with HDMI inputs and I'll tell you. The GUI on this is amazingly easy to work with and the amp in it does a great job on its own(for those without a pre-amp). The ability to adjust between PLXII, Nueral-THX, and Neo6 for non-digital signals to get a great simulated surround was very well developed with this receiver. I highly recommend this receiver for anyone who wants to step up to a great high end receiver. It won't ever compare to a Krel or a Sunfire but for the price its the best I can see using.
