Sony builds its ES line of audio/video components according to elevated standards of performance and construction. The STR-DA3300ES fulfills the Sony ES tradition by delivering dynamic, room-filling surround sound and exceptional picture quality from all of your video sources. Built-in amplification drives up to seven home theater speakers with 100 watts of power each, while sophisticated surround processors give you precise multichannel sound. Plus, advanced capabilities make your home theater system more flexible and easier to operate. And like all ES components, this receiver is backed by a full 5-year warranty.
1080p-capable HDMI switching and conversion
The 'DA3300ES's video switching capabilities help streamline your video connections while ensuring maximum picture quality for each source. 1080p-compatible HDMI inputs let you hook up three high-definition sources, like an HDTV tuner, a Blu-ray Disc™ player or PS3 game console. Analog-to-HDMI conversion allows you to send all of your video sources to an HDMI-capable TV using a single digital cable. Plus, sophisticated digital video upconversion can upgrade any non-HD video source to an HDMI digital signal with resolution up to 1080p, to more closely match the capabilities of your HDTV.
Easy and accurate setup
Sony's auto calibration makes home theater setup quick, simple, and accurate. Just plug in the included microphone, place it in your favorite seat, and the 'DA3300ES automatically adjusts the volume and delay settings for each speaker in your home theater. The result is precise, well-balanced home theater sound, custom-tailored for your specific room and speakers.
