Description
Modern A/V features meet time-tested Sony ES craftsmanshipIts been several years since Sony released a home theater receiver. Now, theyre roaring back with a whole new lineup, which marries cutting-edge audio/video processing with the Sony ES badge of performance and reliability.The flagship STR-AZ7000ES comes loaded with modern A/V conveniences, like 8K and 4K video compatibility, advanced surround sound calibration, and multi-zone capability. A high-performance built-in DAC makes multichannel soundtracks and digital stereo music sources sound killer. And the receiver is built like a tank to reduce vibrations that could add noise to your system.All the surround sound you can handleWith 13 channels of built-in high-powered amplification, you can set up your surround sound your way. Use all 13 channels for a Dolby Atmos or DTS:X Pro system for movies that will engulf you with sound. Sonys Digital Cinema Auto Calibration IX automatically sets the receivers audio settings for optimum sound in your room. And their exclusive 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology ensures three-dimensional, theater-like effects that seem to surround you.Get rid of the extra wiresOne of the most exciting features of the new Sony receivers is the ability to use wireless rear speakers and wireless subwoofers. If its just not practical in your particular room to run wires for rear surrounds, you can use the SA-RS3S or SA-RS5 wireless rear speakers — no long runs of speaker wire required, but they will need to plug into AC power. The SA-SW3 or the SA-SW5 give you some handy wireless options for adding a subwoofer. (Again, these subs also require AC power.) For even more bass, pair two of the same subwoofers and feel the rumble!One receiver, multiple zonesFor stereo music in a separate room, you can configure the STR-AZ7000ES surround back or height channels for music playback in a second zone. Then you can relax in your listening room or on your porch while others watch a movie with surround sound in the living room. Or use the line-level outputs for adding speakers in a second or third room with an additional receiver or amp.Plus, this receivers dual-zone HDMI switching lets you send video signals to a second TV, so you can catch up on your shows in the bedroom while the kids watch a movie in the living room.ES sound quality from a variety of music sourcesThis receivers newly designed digital section includes a high-performance 32-bit DAC to make the most of your digital music sources. You get plenty of options for playing music, too. Stream tunes from your phone or tablet through Bluetooth. Use Apple AirPlay 2 to play music directly over your Wi-Fi network from your iPhone®, iPad®, or Mac® computer. Or use Chromecast built-in to stream content from the cloud to your receiver from a variety of compatible apps.Works with SonosFor wireless multi-zone music, this Works with Sonos certified receiver gives you even more options to choose from. You can tie your home theater into a whole-house audio system when you add a Sonos Port. Control the audio on your receiver using the Sonos app on your mobile device or computer for a whole-home Sonos experience. The app will even turn on the STR-AZ7000ES and select the correct input automatically.Product highlights:Power and processing:13-channel amplifier140 watts per channel into 8 ohms (20-20,000 Hz) at 0.09% THD, with 2 channels drivenDolby Atmos and DTS:X® surround sound decodingDolby Atmos and DTS:X Pro processing for use with in-ceiling or height speakers for more enveloping home theater soundDolby Speaker Virtualization and DTS Virtual:X® create three-dimensional effects without height speakersIMAX® Enhanced reproduces the full dynamic range of specially encoded IMAX soundtracks from compatible sourcesDigital Cinema Auto Calibration IX and 360 Spatial Sound Mapping calibrate the sound to match your room and speaker configuration for an expansive, immersive soundstageSonys DSEE Ultimate accurately upscales audio to near-high-resolution sound qualitybuilt-in high-performance 32-bit DACpremium componentry meets ES standards for audio performancecontrol the receiver with your smartphone using the Sony Music Center appcompatible with Sonys SA-RS3S and SA-RS5 wireless rear speakers and SA-SW3 and SA-SW5 wireless subwoofersDigital and streaming music options:Chromecast built-in for streaming over Wi-Fi with a wide range of compatible apps on your mobile deviceworks with Google Assistant voice control devices (sold separately)Spotify® Connect lets you play music using the Spotify app on your mobile device (subscription required)Apple AirPlay 2 lets you stream directly from an iPhone® or iPad® and ask Siri to play Apple Music®supports multi-room audio with compatible wireless speakersbuilt-in Bluetooth for wireless music listening with smartphones, tablets, and compatible computerscompatible with Sonos Port — receiver turns on automatically and sets the right input when selected in the appworks as a Roon player (requires subscription and Roon Core running on your network)Roon Core is media server software that runs on your computer, NAS drive, or other compatible hardwareMulti-room audio/video:three-room/three-source outputHDMI dual-zone switching for watching video content from different sources in two zones simultaneouslypowered stereo output for Zone 2analog stereo audio outputs (variable) for Zones 2 and 3Connections:HDMI 2.1 audio/video switching: 7 in, 2 out (including 1 front-panel input)4 rear-panel inputs support 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz video1 front-panel input supports 4K videoHDCP 2.3 technology ensures compatibility with Ultra HD sources and TVssupports HDR10, Dolby Vision®, HLG, and IMAX Enhancedgaming-optimized video processing technologies for a smooth, lag-free gaming experienceVariable Refresh Rate (VRR) and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) reduce or eliminate lag and frame tearingsupports ARC (Audio Return Channel) and eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel)eARC receives uncompressed surround sound signals including Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and DTS:X Pro via the HDMI connection with your compatible TV2 composite video inputs2 composite video outputsdigital audio inputs: 2 optical and 1 coaxial4 analog stereo audio line-level inputsno phono input — to connect a turntable youll need to add a phono preamp13.2-channel preamp outputs for use with optional external power ampsoutputs for 13 speakers (Front L/R, Center, Surround L/R, Surround Back L/R, Height 1 L/R, Height 2 L/R, Height 3 L/R)front-panel USB port for firmware updates and system setting backupdetachable power cableGeneral features:center channel enhancements include Center Speaker Lift Up, BRAVIA™ Acoustic Center Sync, and Dual Center Speakerintuitive on-screen user interface (via HDMI only)setup via the front panel, through the Graphical User Interface (GUI), or with a web browserremote controlFM tunerbuilt-in support for Control4, Crestron, Savant, and other home automation systemsRS-232C and remote (IR) connections for use with optional third-party controllersthree 12-volt trigger outputs for sending power commands to external gear, like a power amplifier or cooling fanEthernet port for wired connectivity to your network17W x 7-5/8H x 18-5/8D (9-3/4H with Wi-Fi antennas raised)weight: 48 lbs.
