Stunning digital home theater doesn't need to carry a stunning price tag — case in point, Sony's STR-DE445. This A/V receiver has super-precise, 24-bit processing built in for Dolby® Digital and DTS. Pop in a 5.1-channel DVD and find out what the fuss is all about! This Sony also has the Dolby Pro Logic™ decoding you need to experience multichannel surround sound from sources like a HiFi VCR or stereo TV.
With 80 watts per channel in stereo mode, or 80 watts x 5 in home theater mode, you get the multichannel power you need for sonic clarity, realism, and impact. Speaking of realism, the 'DE445's built-in Digital Signal Processing includes Digital Cinema Sound™ — exclusive soundfield circuitry based on acoustic measurements made at Sony Pictures Studios movie production stages. You'll hear movie soundtracks the way the producers and directors intended! You even get a 5.1-channel input for compatibility with future home theater and music formats.
