    Optimized for Blu-ray Disc™ and most HD Sources
    Sony's A/V Receivers are engineered to be the ideal Blu-ray Disc A/V receiver, fully compatible with Sony® Blu-ray Disc Players. Superior video switching and audio performance ensure seamless compatibility with today's demanding HD sources. The STR-DG920 supports Linear PCM and has four High Definition Media Interface™ (HDMI™) inputs that are capable of accepting resolutions up to 1080p, offering the full video quality that Blu-ray Disc format can deliver.

    Once your components are connected to the receiver, it's time to connect your speakers (sold separately). This receiver allows you to use a 7.1 channel speaker system. To enjoy theater-like multi-channel surround sound fully, you'll need five speakers: two front speakers, a center speaker, and two surround speakers, as well as a subwoofer. You can enjoy high-fidelity reproduction of DVD software recorded in the Surround EX format if you connect one or two additional surround back speakers. Speaker cable is sold separately. Follow the instructions on the on-screen menu to set up your speakers, setting the specific distance from the listening position to the speakers and adjusting the speaker levels and balance.

    BRAVIA® Sync™
    As a leader in products with HDMI connectivity, Sony has created BRAVIA Sync technology to go beyond simple audio and video transmission. This receiver will transmit control functions to a select number of BRAVIA LCD televisions as well as new DVD players in the Sony line. With One Touch Play, operations that took several steps have been reduced to one. Press the PLAY button on the remote, watch the A/V receiver turn on, then the DVD player power on and start to play, finally the BRAVIA television turns on and switches to the correct video input. Simple...Easy...BRAVIA Sync.

    DIGITAL MEDIA PORT
    The demand for digital content continues to be strong. The challenge: how do you integrate music in various forms into a receiver The answer: Sony's DIGITAL MEDIA PORT (DMP). Together with one of the DMP accessories (sold separately), this proprietary connection broadens the interface of home theater systems and components, connects with various devices which provide the ability to control and power devices while making set up easy and operation simple. The DMP accessories will include a PC Client Ready device, Bluetooth receiver for today's Bluetooth enabled mobile phones and other portable devices and Audio Docking Stations compatible with Network Walkman and iPod products. So regardless of how you store your music, Sony's DMP offers a point of access to integrate your portable music into a traditional home theater system.

    HDMI "Active Intelligence"
    Powerful HDMI connectivity combined with Active Intelligence offers automatic detection of optimal video and audio signals from all connected components with convenience of a simple one wire connection.

    XM® Connect and Play™ Ready with 5.1 Neural Decoding

Simply place the included microphone in your listening position and allow the strength of Sony's Digital Signal Processing to take over. Speaker placement, distance, and delays are all calibrated automatically to ensure a worry free listening experience.

    Digital Cinema Sound™
    Sony's original Digital Cinema Sound technology uses exclusive DSP technology to recreate the precise environment of three Hollywood Dubbing Stages where your movies are created, offering true theater sound in the home from the source.

    Stream Your Music Files
    Today, most of your music is stored as files somewhere on your computer network. By adding Sony's Digital Media Port Wi-Fi Client, you can access these files and play them through this receiver. Now you can enjoy your music in all its high fidelity splendor instead of using those cheesy PC speakers!
