Sony family of Blu-ray Disc Players. Superior video switching and audio
performance ensure seamless compatibility with today’s demanding HD
sources. The STR-D2400ES features up to four High Definition Multimedia
Interface (HDMI) inputs which are capable of accepting resolutions up to
1080p, offering the full video quality that Blu-ray Disc format can
deliver.

+/Dolby TrueHD) and dts® (dts HD) - The STR-DA2400ES offers full
compatibility with Blu-ray Disc format’s linear PCM (uncompressed)
output, producing up to eight channels of "high quality" audio
reproduction. The STR-DA2400ES also has the ability to support the latest
audio formats from Dolby Labs (Dolby Digital Plus/Dolby TrueHD) and dts

HDMI "Active Intelligence" (4/1 Repeater) - 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 HDMI1. This
chipset corrects image jaggedness; reduces block noise and reproduces true
to original colours. The end result is a beautiful and smooth High
Definition image.
Xross Media Bar Inspired Graphic User Interface - An on-screen menu system
that simplifies the most complex operations of an A/V receiver for home
theatre 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 Upscaling 1 - 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.
HDMI Output with 720P/1080i and 1080p upscaling of DVD Media 4 - : Reads
the data on a standard DVD at 480P and maximizes the video Resolution to
best fit your HDMI compatible TV. The STR-DA2400ES takes it a step further
and allows for DVD Media to be upscaled to 1080p. Overall, this allows for
you to enjoy the best in video performance while delivering Digital video
and audio over one simple cable.
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

feedback between the microphone and receiver to optimize sound settings.
Sirius and XM Connect-and-Play™ Ready 4 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 and
Sirius are satellite radio services that provide pay-for-service radio,
analogous to cable television.
Night Mode with Dialogue Enhancer - Even when the volume needs to be lower,
the STRDA2400ES sounds great. Dialogue is clearer and more balanced when
the volume is low so you no longer need to raise and lower the volume
during your movie.

today’s portables. A powerful Digital Signal Processor expands the
quality of sound from any connected device. Simplified front-side audio and
video connections make it easy to play portables through the receiver.
