Sony STRDG820 7.1 Channel Receiver

The STR-DG820 lets you experience all of your movies, TV shows, and music in compelling 360° surround sound. Sony designed this receiver to take full advantage of the latest audio and video gear — from digital HD video sources to XM Radio and portable music players. It even includes built-in decoding for Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio — two high-resolution surround sound formats available with some newer Blu-ray players and discs.

High-def HDMI switching and simplified system operation
If you've got multiple high-definition video components, you'll love the 'DG820's 1080p HDMI switching capabilities. Hook up four HDMI-equipped components and switch easily among them, while maintaining pristine digital purity for both picture and sound. Plus, this future-ready receiver's HDMI connections will allow simplified one-touch operation with compatible Sony A/V components. Just press play on the remote, and watch as the receiver, television, and disc player all automatically power up and switch to the appropriate settings.

More digital entertainment options
The STR-DG820's Digital Media Port lets you play music stored on your iPod® or PC when you connect additional Sony accessories. An optional PC adapter allows you to send tunes from your computer to the receiver through your wired or Wi-Fi® home network. If you're a fan of XM Radio, you'll really appreciate how easily you can add it to the 'DG820. Just connect an optional XM Mini-Tuner package and an XM subscription to enjoy instant access to your favorite XM satellite radio channels. This receiver also tunes in XM HD Surround channels, which deliver music in full surround sound. Special built-in processing lets you enhance the sound of compressed music sources like MP3s and satellite radio.
