Sony's STR-DE698 plants you right in the middle of the movie action. It's got the power to drive seven home theater speakers, letting you experience all your favorite films in enveloping 360° sound. But the wraparound audio doesn't end with DVDs — this receiver has built-in processing that can turn any stereo TV program, VHS tape, FM station, or CD into involving multichannel sound.
The 'DE698 offers plenty of inputs and outputs to hook up your other audio/video components. Sony's also added some cool convenience features to keep your whole system running simply and smoothly. The multibrand remote gives you handy control all of your components. Front-panel inputs let you quickly and easily hook up a camcorder, game system, or portable MP3 player.
This receiver lets you connect a variety of video sources — like a VCR, a cable box, and a digital video recorder — and send their signals to your TV with a single S-video cable. This feature not only streamlines hookup, but also simplifies switching between your components. To preserve maximum picture quality for higher-resolution sources, there are component video inputs for a DVD player and an HDTV tuner.
