With DNLA technology and an ethernet connection, the STR-DA6400ES from Sony allows you to stream video, music, and photos from your computer to your home cinema system. While advanced Dolby TrueHD and dts-HD Master Audio decoding deliver true 7.1-channel audio, Faroudja DCDi Cinema upconverts standard definition video to near-HD levels via HDMI. Speaking of HDMI, six HDMI inputs and two outputs are just the tip of this 840W receiver's iceberg of A/V connectivity.
