Sony STRDG2100 7.1-Channel Surround Sound A/V Receiver (Discontinued by Manufacturer) Review

The Sony STR-DG2100 7.1-Channel Surround Sound A/V Receiver was engineered to be the entertainment hub for your HD experience. This receiver provides an “Audio for Video” solution which integrates the latest technologies to optimize sound as well as picture quality. The STR-DG2100 utilizes Faroudja DCDI Cinema Technology which upscales non-HD sources (VHS, DVD, etc) to 1080p. In addition to video upscaling, this chipset corrects image jaggedness and reduces block noise resulting in beautiful, smooth high-definition images. As for audio, the STR-DG2100 utilizes high-grade components that provide effective heat dissipation and push large amounts of power while maintaining precise sound quality. Sony’s Xross Media Bar inspired GUI allows a user to utilize an icon driven menu system which provides easy access to the receiver’s most complicated functions. The STR-DG2100 7.1-Channel A/V Receiver will accept 1080/60p and 24p HD video formats, x.v.Color (xvYCC) and Deep Color while providing 3 HDMI connections. Sony’s Digital Media Port makes this model iPod Ready (accessory sold separately) and features BRAVIA Theatre Sync technology for “One-Touch Play.” This receiver is also capable of reproducing the latest audio formats from Dolby Labs (Dolby Digital +/Dolby TrueHD) and dts (dts High Resolution Audio and dts HD Master Audio).
