Entertainment That's Out Of This World

All you have to do is purchase and connect the optional Connect-and-Play antenna, sign up to XM satellite radio service, and enjoy the variety of digital radio with the superior sound quality of an A/V receiver.
The Right Sound For Your Room
Now the optimal speaker setup for your living room is only a press of a button away. Simply place the included microphone in your listening position and allow the strength of Sony's Digital Signal Processing take over. Speaker placement, distance, and delays are all adjusted automatically to ensure a worry-free listening experience.
Sound That Truly Surrounds
Built-in decoding for all the latest and greatest surround sound formats surrounds you with up to 7.1 separate channels of digital sound for sound quality that analog systems can't match. Suddenly, movies have the same excitement and impact as in the theater. Bass is stronger and closer to the director's original intent. And now, with Dolby Digital EX decoding, dts ES and so on, this receiver has the technology to decode tracks that provide additional rear surround sound. This brings the home theater experience even closer to the effect the producer was looking to achieve when the movie was originally mastered. Because not all your entertainment will have a Dolby Digital or DTS multichannel soundtrack, Sony's STRDG600 also incorporates Pro Logic II decoding. Dolby Pro Logic II uses advanced sound processing technology to provide realistic virtual surround sound from movies with Dolby Pro Logic or stereo soundtracks. Pro Logic II even works on stereo music. Imagine how that will make your concert CDs sound. From stereo to 7.1 channel surround, it all sounds great when you listen with Sony.
Remodel Your Ambiance
Digital Cinema Sound (DCS) is a Sony Technology that recreates the acoustics of different motion picture sound stages in your home theater room. These amazing acoustic environments are created using measurements from Sony Pictures Entertainment studios, combined with Sony's Digital Signal Processor (DSP) technology. Now you can hear movies the way the director hears them thanks to Sony's Cinema Studio modes. DSP is also used to create realistic acoustic environments like a Jazz Club, Arena or the "Live Concert" ambiance. Surround sound processing and DSP modes owe their exceptional sound performance in part to the additional power provided by a superior 32-bit processor. Whatever you're listening to will take on new life when you plug into the power of Sony DSP.
