Take HD even further. The 1080p STR-DH500 5.1-channel A/V receiver delivers one robust HD experience, with HDMI™ pass-through and 1080/24p capability, it's compatible with the latest HD sources like Blu-ray Disc™ players, PLAYSTATION®3 and more. But the connectivity doesn't stop there. You also have access to five HD inputs for even greater versatility. Finally, the STR-DH500 includes the Digital Media Port, which allows you to extend your music selection from an iPod®, Walkman® digital music player, Bluetooth® device or from a PC (accessories sold separately).


I've had my Sony receiver for 11 years, without a problem, and always great sound (especially with my Klipsch quintet speakers and Mirage subwoofer.) This may be the one to replace it though. I have no need for more than 5 surround speakers and a woofer, but I do need HDMI pass through with plenty of inputs.

Features
  • Channel Power Rating: 100W x 5 Amp Power (8 ohms, THD 1.0%)
  • 5 HD Inputs compatible with HD video: The STR-DH500 has ample HD connections compatible with various HD signals. Being the central hub of your audio and video sources, the STR-DH500 ensures seamless compatibility with today's demanding HD sources.
  • HD Film Quality with 24p TRUE CINEMA: Most of all Hollywood movies are shot at 24 frames per second, and Blu-ray Disc™ movies are mastered at 24 frame per second, so it is only fitting that the STR-DH500can output your films at 1080/24p for a true film-like experience at home.
  • Multi Function Audio Input: Sony's DIGITAL MEDIA PORT plays back music from various audio sources whether it is stored on an iPod, Walkman, Bluetooth device or PC.
  • Quick Speaker Set Up: An ideal listening experience is only a button away. Simply place the included microphone in your listening position, push a single button and speaker placement, distance and delays are automatically adjusted.
