Designed and built with both HD pundits and home theater enthusiasts in mind, the Sony introduces the STR-DH500 5.1-Channel Home Theater A/V Receiver. Its HDMI (1080/24p) Active Intelligence technology offers the ability to match the exquisite quality produced by Blu-ray disc players, Playstation 3 gaming, and other HD components. It will take your home theater experience to new heights with (3) HDMI inputs, (2) HD component video inputs, and 500W of power. It features connectivity to your iPod and Bluetooth audio devices with the DMP port. Sony uses advanced Digital Cinema Sound technology with 96KHz/24-bit DAC processing to create independent sound fields that fill the room with a surreal surround sound experience.

In addition, it offers built-in Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro-Logic, Dolby Pro-Logic IIx, and DTS audio decoders. With an AM/FM tuner, optical/coaxial audio inputs, bass/treble control, multiple sound fields, low-frequency crossover, and connectivity to virtually any A/V source you can imagine, your entertainment choices are endless with the Sony STR-DH500.

With its HDMI switching capability, the STR-DH500 acts as an HD video HUB or distribution unit; it enables you to switch between (5) HD video components with ease (3x HDMI, 2x HD component video).
