The STR-DA5300ES features up to six 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.

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 colors. The end result is a beautiful and smooth high definition image.

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.

Best Reciever for the Money Absolutely the best reciever I have ever used! I purchased this directly from Sony on the outlet with an amazing price, half off Retail! with all of the features and the ES warranty i never thought I would own anything this nice. No real problems, does everything it says it would. I find it a little irritating that when displaying an HDMI source, you cant see the volume on-screen, and you cant access the on-screen XMB while using HDMI. This is especcialy irritating when trying to set up the equallizer. you have to use an analoge soure. Other then that a fantastic unit! February 17, 2010
HDMI issues When I first got it, it had no sound out of any HDMI connection. I sent it back (twice) to Laredo, Texas and they got it working. I gave it 5 stars anyway because, seriously, I have never heard better sound after it was fixed. I am a very happy camper now. The upscaling capabilities is outstanding, 480p DVDs look great. On the other hand, it plays whatever you want, burnt dvds, burnt cds... its a power horse. Cons: Price. May 11, 2009
