Of course, the latest ES Series A/V receivers reflect the lessons learned in
two decades of ES refinements and improvements. These models have the full
complement of ES decoding, Digital Signal Processing, control and integration
technologies.
• Seven channels of amplification (all models). This configuration can drive
separate Surround Back Left and Surround Back Right speakers, ideal for
both 5.1- and 6.1-channel sources.
• Auto channel grouping (all models). The feature adapts the reproduction
to match a 7-speaker configuration. In reproducing 5.1-channel sources, the
four Surround speakers are driven in two groups (SL and SR). In reproducing
6.1-channel sources, the Surround speakers are driven in three groups (SL,
SB and SR).
• Full complement of digital and analog surround decoding (all models).
Sony provides decoding for all of the following sources:
o Dolby Digital® surround sound
o Dolby Digital EX 6.1-channel sound
o Dolby® Pro Logic® surround sound
o Dolby Pro Logic II-movie and Pro Logic II-music
o dts® 5.1-channel surround sound
o dts 96/24
o dts ES discrete 6.1 and dts ES matrix 6.1
o dts Neo6:cinema and dts Neo6:music
• 32-bit surround sound decoding (all models). Using a proprietary Sony
Large Scale Integrated circuit (LSI).
• 6.0-channel Digital Cinema Sound concert hall modes (all models). For
the Amsterdam Concertgebouw and the Vienna Musikvereinsaal.
• 7.1-channel Cinema Studio EX modes (all models). Recreate the
acoustics of the Hollywood dubbing stages where directors go to audition and
approve their final sound mixes.
• 7.1-channel Virtual Multi Dimension (all models). Recreates the effect of a
full array of Surround speakers.
• 12V triggers (STR-DA2000ES and higher). ES receivers are destined to be
used in custom installations where curtains, screens and lighting "scenes"
may require 12-volt triggers.
• Infrared repeater ports (STR-DA2000ES and higher). To accommodate
installations where the stack of electronics is hidden away, ES receivers offer
one infrared repeater input and two outputs. This means you can place an
inconspicuous IR "eye" in the home theater room and still control your
components.
