The STR-DE998 delivers compelling 360° surround sound for all your movies, TV shows, and music. This receiver teams up powerful seven-channel amplification and advanced processing to take full advantage of all your home theater speakers. Sony's also loaded the 'DE998 with plenty of helpful features that add convenience and flexibility to your system.
Dual-room/dual-source output lets you enjoy surround sound in your main room while a housemate listens to stereo music in a second room. The 'DE998 can power speakers in both rooms at the same time, so no additional amplifier is necessary. For main-room listening, analog direct mode lets you bypass the tone controls and digital circuitry for the cleanest possible sound from analog sources.
The 'DE998's sophisticated video conversion lets you connect all your video gear to your TV with one component video connection. This streamlines hookup, while letting you view each source in its best possible picture quality. And Sony's A/V Sync feature lets you correct those occasional instances where the sound and picture aren't correctly synchronized on a DVD or HDTV program.
The STR-DE998 gives you plenty of digital and analog inputs for building an impressive system — including front-panel inputs for easy hookup of camcorders, game systems, and portable audio players. The learning/multibrand LCD remote offers intuitive control of all your audio/video components.
