SA-XR700 Blu-ray AV receiver HDMI SOLUTIONS FOR HD ENTERTAINMENT
8ch Linear PCM Input through HDMI
The DMP-BD10 decodes the Dolby Digital Plus format's 7.1-channel surround sound signals, converts them to linear PCM, and outputs them through an HDMI terminal. The SA-XR700 receives these signals through its HDMI terminal and digitally amplifies them to produce a dynamic 7.1-channel surround sound. Only HDMI-compatible products can unlock the full digital surround sound potential made possible by the huge amount of audio data on a Blu-ray disc.

Dual HDMI Input
Equipped with two HDMI input terminals, the SA-XR700 can connect with both the DMP-BD10 Blu-ray DiscTM Player and another HDMI-compatible video component, such as an HD-broadcast set-top box. A number of HDMI-ready products will be introduced in the near future. Connect any of these to the SA-XR700, and you can choose it as the input source by just turning the selector dial.

Full HD 1080p Video Transmission
The SA-XR700 has both HDMI input and output terminals. It can receive signals from a source connected via HDMI cable and output them via HDMI cable to a TV. Since the SA-XR700 supports video sources with resolution up to 1080p, it can receive full-HD video signals from a Blu-ray DiscTM Player and send them in original form to a TV for degradation-free display.

HDAVI Control
With an all-HDAVI Control home cinema system, watching a movie is easy as a single touch. Pressing a single button on the remote control turns on the TV, receiver, and Blu-ray DiscTM Player, displays the playback image, mutes the TV sound, and outputs the sound from the receiver. It's all done instantly, and automatically. All you have to do is sit back and watch.

EASY AND CONVENIENT
Auto Speaker Setup
Auto Speaker Setup makes time-consuming speaker settings quickly and easily. Simply connect the speaker setup microphone, place it at your usual listening position, and press and hold the Test button on the remote control to start the automatic setup. This function detects the number of connected speakers, their polarities, distances and sizes. It also measures the speaker and room characteristic, and sets the most suitable speaker output level and characteristics. The SA-XR700 takes care of everything, and creates the optimal listening environment for your room.

HIGH-QUALITY AUDIO
Full-Digital Processing
The SA-XR700 features digital processing from signal input all the way through to output. Its amazing amplification lets you enjoy the full potential of today's most advanced audio sources, such as Blu-ray discs. And because our amplifiers are compatible with frequency sampling up to 192 kHz, the SA-XR700 is able to reproduce the lifelike sounds of high-quality 192kHz/24bit 2-channel sources. You can also enjoy faithful reproduction of analogue audio signals because the SA-XR700 can convert analogue sources into 192kHz/24bit digital signals.

Pure Water Capacitor
A Pure Water Capacitor containing a rayon separator is used as the electrolytic capacitor for each of the seven audio channels. With its high water content this capacitor offers excellent electrical characteristics and low impedance. The clean electric current it delivers to the speakers helps achieve a clear, transparent sound.

Gold-Plated Terminals
The input and output terminals are gold-plated to resist oxidation and ensure high electrical conductivity. This helps minimise the signal degradation that could otherwise occur over the years.

DUAL AMP MULTI DRIVE TECHNOLOGY
Triple Amp Drive
When the home cinema system is playing a two-channel audio source from a DVD-Audio or CD using only the front two speakers, the SA-XR700 will automatically drive each of the two channels using three amps, with no need to re-connect the speaker cables. This lets you enjoy a crisper bass, richer acoustic presence, and expansive instrumentals and vocals. Bi-wiring speaker connection also reproduces a higher-quality sound with better high-range and low-range frequency characteristics.

5.1ch with Dual Amp Drive (Advanced Dual Amp)
With the SA-XR700's Dual Amp Drive system, two amps are automatically used to drive each of the two front channels when a 5.1-channel source is being played, with no need to re-connect the speaker cables. This enhances realism and ambience in movie soundtracks by delivering high-quality sound from the left and right front channels, which play such an important role in reproducing movie sound effects and background music.
