output, producing up to eight channels of "high quality" audio reproduction.
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 wire. Sony's HDMI "Active 
Intelligence," produces both audio and video through one HDMI cable. (sold separately).
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 HDMI 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.
Xross Media Bar® Inspired Graphic User Interface
 
An on-screen menu system that simplifies the most complex 
operations of an A/V receiver for home theater applications. This advanced menu system incorporates icons, an easy to 
follow "tree" system and a blending technique so users know exactly where they are amongst the various settings while still 
watching their main video source (up to 1080i). The menu includes access to DIGITAL MEDIA PORT accessories (sold separately), 
the ability to assign HDMI inputs and independent A/V sync control for each input. It's simple. Just pick up the remote and a 
whole new experience will be revealed.
HDMI Up Scaling
 
Video sources connected via composite, S-video and component cables can not only be up converted to 
a HDMI™  video output but can also be up scaled from its native signal to 1080p (i.e. 480i to 1080p) thus minimizing the number 
of connections needed from the receiver to the television display. HDMI supports resolutions up to 1080p and enables both 
HD video and uncompressedstreaming audio to be transmitted through a single 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 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.
Sirius and XM Connect-and-Play™  Ready with Neural Surround
 
A world of digital radio at your fingertips. Connect the 
optional antenna for either Sirius and/or XM subscription service and enjoy the variety and quality of digital radio with the 
superior sound quality of an A/V receiver. In addition to stereo, you can enjoy 5.1 surround broadcasting. XM radio is a 
satellite radio service that provides pay-for-service radio, analogous to cable television.
Portable Audio Enhancer
 
The ES 7.1 A/V Receivers are ideal for today's portables. A powerful Digital Signal Processor 
expands the quality of sound from any connected device. Simplified front-side audio and video connections make it easy to 
play portables through the receiver.
HDMI™  Output with 720P/1080i and 1080p upscaling of DVD Media
 
Reads the data on a standard DVD at 480P and 
maximizes the video resolution to best fit your HDMI compatible TV. The STR-DA3300ES takes it a step further and allows for 
DVD Media to be upscaled to 1080p. Overall, this allows for you to enjoy the best in video performance while delivering digital 
video and audio over one simple cable.
