HDMI “Active Intelligence”
:
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 wire1. Sony’s HDMI “Active Intelligence”
produces
both audio and video through one HDMI cable.
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
downconvert 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 placement, distance and delays are automatically calibrated. Sony’s Digital
Signal Processing uses feedback between the microphone and receiver to optimize sound settings.
