FeaturesVideo Conversion: The Sony ES STR-DA5200ES receiver utilizes a video conversion function that allows you to minimize the number of connections needed from the receiver to the TV. Composite, S-video, and Component Video input signals can be up-converted to HDMI output at a resolution of up to 1080p. Composite, S-Video, and Component Video signals can be output as Composite, S-Video, or Component Video, whichever matches the input jacks of the connected TV. Through HDMI Active Intelligence, the receiver detects and receives the best possible video and audio signals from all connected devices, making connection and performance as simple as plugging in a single wire. Notes: No audio is output from the HDMI when an analog video signal is converted. Only 480i component video signals can be output as S-Video or composite.HDMI Switching: The receiver can accept video signals up to 1080p through the HDMI inputs. With the three HDMI inputs and the HDMI output, you can switch between 3 high definition video sources.Digital Cinema Sound (DCS): Digital Cinema Sound is the concept name of the surround technology for home theater developed by Sony. DCS uses the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) technology to reproduce the sound characteristics of an actual cinema cutting studio in Hollywood. When played at home, DCS will create a powerful theater effect that mimics the artistic combination of sound and action as envisioned by the movie director. The DCS soundfields used in this receiver include:Digital Cinema Sound EX A: reproduces the sound characteristics of the Sony Pictures Entertainment Cary Grant Theater cinema production studio, great for watching most any type of movieDigital Cinema Sound EX B: reproduces the sound characteristics of the Sony Pictures Entertainment Kim Novak Theater cinema production studio, ideal for watching science fiction or action movies with lots of sound effectsDigital Cinema Sound EX C: reproduces the sound characteristics of the Sony Pictures Entertainment scoring stage, ideal for watching musicals or films where orchestra music is featured in the soundtrackV.Multi Dimension: creates 5 sets of virtual speakers from a single pair of actual surround speakers.Headphone Theater: allows you to experience a theater-like environment while listening through a pair of headphonesDolby Pro Logic IIx: Dolby Pro Logic IIx furthers the matrix decoding of Dolby Pro Logic II to decode audio signals recorded on two channels into up to 7.1 playback channels, including the surround back channel. Dolby Pro Logic IIx also allows 5.1-channel sources to be played in up to 7.1 channels. The mode can be selected according to the source. There are 3 Dolby Pro Logic IIx modes; Music, Cinema and Game.Auto Format Direct: The Auto Format Direct (A.F.D.) mode allows you to select the decoding mode you want for your audio sound. When you select A.F.D. Auto, the receiver automatically detects the type of audio signal being input (Dolby Digital, DTS, or standard 2-channel stereo) and performs the proper decoding if necessary. You can also select Pro Logic, Pro Logic II Movie, Pro Logic II Music, Pro Logic II Game, Pro Logic IIx Movie, Pro Logic IIx Music, Pro Logic IIx Game, Neo:6 Cinema, Neo:6 Music, Neural Surround, or Multi Stereo to apply the appropriate decoding for movies or normal stereo sources such as CDs.Neural Surround: Neural Surround has been adopted by XM Satellite Radio for digital radio broadcasts of XM HD Surround recordings and live events in surround sound. Neural Surround employs psychoacoustic frequency domain processing which allows delivery of a more detailed sound stage with superior channel separation and localization of audio elements.Surround Modes: This receiver incorporates a wide variety of surround modes to bring you maximum enjoyment from your audio and video software. The surround modes include:Dolby DigitalDolby Digital EXDolby Pro LogicDolby Pro Logic II (Movie, Music, and Game)Dolby Pro Logic IIx (Movie, Music, and Game)DTSDTS 96/24DTS-ES (Discrete 6.1 and Matrix 6.1)DTS Neo:6 (Cinema and Music)Cinema Studio Ex.

This mode is ideal for MP3 and other compressed music.Surround Back Decoding: This function lets you select the decoding mode for the surround back signals of the multi-channel input stream. When you select SB Auto and the input stream contains 6.1-channel information, the appropriate decoder is applied to decode the surround back signal (Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES Matrix, or DTS-ES Discrete decoder). When you select SB On, Dolby Digital EX is applied when the output channel is 6.1 and Dolby Digital EX or Dolby Pro Logic IIx is applied when the output channel is 7.1. When Off is selected, no surround back decoding is performed.Speaker Manual Settings: If you choose not to auto calibrate the speaker levels, you can manually adjust each speaker as follows:Level Settings:Front Balance: Left 10.0dB to +10.0dB; Right 10.0dB to +10.0dB in 0.5dB stepsCenter Level: -20.0dB to +10dB in 0.5dB incrementsSurround Left/Right Level: -20.0dB to +10dB in 0.5dB incrementsSurround Back Left/Right Level: -20.0dB to +10dB in 0.5dB increments (if 2 surround back speakers are connected)Surround Back Level: -20.0dB to +10dB in 0.5dB increments (if only 1 surround back speaker is connected)Subwoofer Level: -20.0dB to +10dB in 0.5dB incrementsDistance Settings: Each speaker can be set between 3 to 22 feet in 1 inch stepsSpeaker Size: You can set the size of each speaker to Small or LargeSurround Position: You can specify the location of each surround speaker. Speakers can be set to Side/Low, Side/High, Behind/Low, or Behind/High.Multi-Channel Subwoofer Level: You can increase the level of the multi-channel input subwoofer channel signal by +10 dB. (Subwoofer levels from DVD players are generally 10 dB lower than that of SACD players.)Dynamic Range Compressor: allows you to compress the dynamic range of the sound track, select standard or maximum compression, or off (only works with Dolby Digital sources).Digital Decoding: You can choose auto decoding or PCM for the digital audio inputs. Auto will decode the signal in its original form (Dolby Digital, DTS, PCM, etc), PCM decodes the signal to 2-channel.Auto Calibration: The STR-DA5200ES is equipped with Digital Cinema Auto Calibration Technology which uses the included microphone to automatically check the speaker connections and the polarity of the speakers, check the speaker size, angle, level, and frequency characteristics, and calculate the distance from each speaker to the listening position. The microphone has a 19-1/2 cord attached and has a threaded insert on the bottom so it can be mounted to a tripod.A/V Sync: The audio output can be delayed so that the time gap between the audio output and the visual display is minimized. This is especially helpful when you are using a large LCD or plasma TV or a projection TV. The adjustment range is 0 to 300 ms in 10 ms steps if the sampling frequency is less than 48kHz, and 0 to 150 ms if the sampling frequency is 88.2 or 96 kHz.Equalizer: You can adjust the tonal quality (bass and treble level) of the front, center, surround, and surround back speakers from -10dB to +10dB in 0.5dB steps. Up to 5 different EQ settings can be stored.USB Input: The receiver has a front panel USB input for listening to music on compatible USB devices.

When using the multi-channel input the STR-DA5200ESs speaker set up circuitry is bypassed, so all bass management and speaker level adjustment must be made on the connected component.Preamp Outputs: The STR-DA5200ES is equipped with eight preamp outputs in a 7.1-channel configuration, to allow you to use the receiver as a preamplifier. The pre outs include Front Left and Right, Center, Subwoofer, Surround Left and Right, and Surround Back Left and Right. External amplifiers can be connected to any or all of the pre outs.Bi-Amplifying: The surround back amplifier channels can be used for bi-amplifying a pair of front speakers with dual speaker terminals. Once the shorting bars have been removed from the speakers, you can connect the front left and right speaker terminals to the high (or low) side of the speakers terminals, and the left and right surround back speaker terminal to the low (or high) side of the speakers terminals.Three Zone/Three Source Operation: This receiver allows you to output line-level stereo audio and composite video signals from a connected component to a 2nd zone, regardless of the source selected in the main zone. In addition, you can output line-level stereo audio only from a connected component to a 3rd zone. You will need separate receivers/amplifiers and speakers for amplifying the audio signals in the 2nd and 3rd zones, and a TV/monitor for displaying the video signals in the 2nd zone. If desired, you can assign the surround back amplifier channels to a pair of Zone 2 speakers, and still enjoy a 5.1-channel surround source in the main zone. The audio signals are variable, and the volume can be controlled by a supplied 2nd/3rd Zone remote control (RM-AAU009). From the remote, you can select any source (except Phono and Multi-Channel) connected via analog inputs, and, in some cases, control the basic functions of the connected source component.Picture-In-Picture: When the Picture-in-Picture function is activated, you can view in the PIP window the video of the source selected for Zone 2, or of a source connected to the External Video jack.
