To provide a simplified approach to 3D home theatre performance and control, Sony has introduced its first 3D-ready 7.1 channel AV receiver, the STR-DN1010. Capable of supporting both 3-D audio and video, the receiver ensures best possible experience by streamlining connectivity and supporting 3D software and hardware.

The receiver supports HDMI 1.4 3D pass-through technology and is compatible with all the latest Blu-ray Disc audio formats and all advanced audio codecs. It features full high-definition 1080/24p support and four HDMI and three component inputs. For simple content and device navigation, the receiver features an icon-driven menu system. The receiver has the ability to upscale analog video sources to 1080p resolution via HDMI. For simple connection to external sources such as iPhone and iPod, it features a Digital Media Port.

To match with Sony’s line of Blu-ray Disc players and televisions, the receiver flaunts a sleek piano black gloss design. The STR-DN1010 AV receiver will be available for around $500 from this June.
