Riveting 6.1-channel home theater excitement
meets high-end Sony ES performance and con-
struction standards! The STR-DA2ES combines 100 full-
bandwidth-rated watts x 6 with dual 32-bit processing for
Dolby® Digital EX and DTS-ES® sources — the seamless,
wraparound soundfield totally immerses you in the movie
action! Other surround options include Pro Logic II, DTS
Neo:6, and Sony’s exclusive Digital Cinema Sound modes.
A learning/multibrand remote gives you easy con-
trol of your entire A/V system. Dual-room/dual-source
output lets you and a friend listen to different sources
simultaneously (amp or powered speakers required in
second room). And composite-to-S-video conversion
offers more flexible handling of video sources.
The ’DA2ES’s wide-range response makes the most
of high-resolution sources like SACD and DVD-Audio.
Analog direct modes bypass all DSP for ultra-clean
sound from any analog input. Advanced power manage-
ment lets you turn off digital and video circuits when
they’re not in use, for maximum audio purity. You also
get loads of inputs and outputs to add all your A/V gear,
including HDTV-compatible component video switch-
ing, a 6.1 preamp output,
5.1 and 6.1-channel
analog inputs, 5 digital
inputs, and more!

Combining the high-end performance standards of the Sony ES line with all-in-one
convenience, the AVD-S50ES delivers incredible home theater and music thrills. It’s not
only refreshingly easy to use, but also remarkably simple to set up — all you need to add
for enveloping surround sound is a 5.1 speaker system (see pgs. 118-119).
The DVD player offers progressive-scan output for an incredibly filmlike picture with
HDTV-ready TVs. It’s also a disc-playing powerhouse, handling not only DVDs and CDs,
but also your home-burned CD-Rs, CD-RWs, and MP3 discs. You can even surround your-
self with ultra-high-resolution, multichannel music, thanks to SACD playback capability.
The receiver section teams up 100 watts x 5 channels of clean, all-digital amplification
with Dolby Digital, DTS, and Pro Logic II decoding. You’ll love the way it delivers the
dynamic power and the delicate nuances that are essential ingredients of engrossing home
theater sound. A multibrand remote and an on-screen display make system control easy.
Three A/V inputs, 3 digital inputs, and an optical digital output let you expand your system
with external components. Except for the DVD player’s component video output, all video
connections are S-video for great picture quality with compatible A/V sources and TVs.
