Sony STR-DA5700ES 7.2 Channel AV Receiver, part of Sony’s elite ES (Elevated Standard) series, designed for high-end home theater installations. Offering 7 discrete amplified channels and rated at approximately 130W per channel into 8Ω, it supports full HD audio decoding including Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, and Sony’s proprietary HD-D.C.S. processing. Video performance is equally robust with Faroudja processing, 1080p upscaling, Deep Color, and 3D pass-through via HDMI.

Connectivity is extensive: 6 HDMI inputs (including a front-panel input), 2 HDMI outputs, component and composite video, optical and coaxial digital audio, phono input, multi-channel analog input, and pre-outs. Networking features include a built-in Ethernet hub with DLNA client support, streaming services (Netflix, Pandora, Hulu Plus, Slacker, internet radio), and smartphone control apps. Auto-calibration is handled by Sony’s DCAC EX system with phase matching and speaker relocation.

This unit is accompanied by its original Sony remote control and is built in a robust chassis with advanced shielding, making it a sought-after choice for audiophiles and integrators.
