Technical Details for Sony STR DA5200ES/B

Sony STR DA5200ES/B ... that's just as engaging as the picture you watching. The DA5200ESB receiver is compatible with the latest Blu-Ray (BD) video format, allowing switching of video signals at up to 1080p resolution and playback of up to 8 channels of uncompressed (LPCM) audio.

To further enhance the HD experience, the DA5200ESB receiver features HD Up-conversion using Faroudja's "DCDi Cinema" technology.
