The Sony STR-DH820 is ready to help you enter the world of home audio. With 7.1-channels, you'll be able to enjoy full home theater surround sound, and four 3D-ready HDMI inputs mean you'll be able to enjoy all of your HD components, while built-in audio return channel saves you cables. The included iPod dock opens up a world of possibilities, and 2nd zone outputs give you the opportunity to set up an additional speaker-ready room.

Your home theater, your audio, your way

Sony's STR-DH820 home theater receiver doesn't just give full, 7.1-channel home theater surround. It gives you options. Four 3D-ready HDMI inputs let you connect your favorite HD devices, from a 3D-capable Blu-ray player, to your favorite gaming systems. The audio-return channel enabled output lets you reduce the number of cables running to your ARC-ready HDTV, giving you cleaner installation options. Your iPod or iPhone can open up tons of options for you, thanks to an included dock, and the Digital Legato Linear processes improve audio performance from compressed music files, giving you full sound from your digital music library. You can even add a second audio zone with the 2nd zone preouts, just add an amp and you can watch a movie in one room while enjoying music in another (or even outside, the only limits are your imagination and cable lengths). So count your options, then sit back, and enjoy them in action.
