Sony’s STR-DH820 carries an MSRP of $400 and it offers multiple HDMI inputs and HDMI 3D pass-through, and an amplifier section rated to deliver 110-watts to each of its seven channels. 

As the home theater market continues to evolve to adopt new technologies, arguably no product bears a greater burden than A/V receivers.

Sony's 2011 new A/V receivers are an example of how the market is evolving to meet the growing consumption of digital media by consumers. The company's four new receivers range in price from about $230 to $500 and they include features such as DLNA certification, HDMI 3D pass-through and lossless surround sound Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD Master Audio processing.

The flagship model is the STR-DN1020 and it incorporates Faroudja video processing, Sony's Digital Cinema Auto Calibration (DCAC) room calibration technologies, dual subwoofer pre-outs, iPhone/iPod Touch control apps and playback through the inclusion of a dock, and secondary audio/video zone capabilities.

Filling out the line are the STR-DH820, the STR-DH720 and the STR-DH520, which all include many of today's latest home theater technology options.
