User questions & answers

Question:	Will this device support the SiriusXM internet radio
Answer:	It does not have an input for a dedicated XM or Sirius Tuner as some earlier SONY receivers did. It has an internal input for "Music Services" but the only two supported are Chromecast and Spotify. Pretty lame. However, with the addition of another device that is capable of streaming SiriusXM (such as Sony Blu Ray player BDP-S3700), you can stream SiriusXM. If you have a good universal remote control (I am using a Harmony Ultimate), the integrated control of the receiver and streaming SiriusXM is fairly easy to program.
Question:	Why does the manufacturer keep replying here that dolby vision is not supported? it clearly says on the sony website that dolby vision is supported
Answer:	Hi there! We do apologize for the confusion. The Sony STRDN1080 is indeed compatible with Dolby Vision. Here is the link for more details. https://docs.sony.com/release//Help_4686526113.pdf. -Jerome
Question:	Can i simultaneously play video from different sources on the two hdmi out ports? please do not post the link to sony's page as it does not help
Answer:	Yes you can! I just received mine and I had seen conflicting answers on this question all across the internet. When you set the HDMI Out B to HDMI Zone, you can display and hear your computer on your main TV and your Xbox One on your gaming TV.
Question:	How would you connect additional Dolby Atmos speakers to this, in an existing 7.1 speaker system setup
Answer:	Dolby Atmos is a speaker configuration incorporating downward firing speakers. You would use the “height” channel speakers as the Dolby Atmos speaker channel, by either installing speakers in the ceiling, or get Dolby Atmos Projection speakers that sit on top of your front surround speakers. You may be able to rig certain speakers as downward firing speakers, however I could consult a Dolby atmos installation guide as they have all the ideal placement specifications for the ideal audio balance/ experience. Dolby Atmos In home theatres is usually a 7.1, 9.1, or 11.1 set up. With 2,4 or up to 6 speakers being placed in the downward firing position e.g ceiling mounted and facing down.

TA-A1ES Hi-Res Integrated 2-Channel Amplifier

Integrated stereo amplifier with FET input buffer, SEPP hi-current amp and intelligent BIAS control.

FET input buffer

The amplifier has been fitted with a FET input buffer and discrete circuit for the pre-amp. This reduces the effects of distortion while enhancing the sound quality of High-Resolution Audio.

Make a secure connection

Poor component connections can have a significant impact on overall sound quality. The new screw-type terminals and deluxe quality shaved pin, 0.71 in pitch jack ensure a tight, secure fit between the amp and your components, reducing the chances of sound degradation.

High Resolution Audio

High-Resolution Audio takes your digital music to another level. By converting analog music to digital at a higher rate than CDs—24 bit/192 kHz, as opposed to the 16 bit/44.1 kHz rate of CDs—High-Resolution Audio delivers better-than-CD quality sound, so you get closer to the original studio master recording.

Optimum gain volume control

We’ve combined the electronic volume with a discrete buffer amp – co-developed with Sony – to enhance the overall sound quality by reducing the gain error experienced by conventional amps.

Simplified power amp circuitry

By including fewer transistors and eliminating the emitter resistor and coil & capacitor needed in the amp’s final stage circuitry, we’ve reduced the distortion that affects the quality of your music. This means the amp can deliver a higher power output, so you can push up the volume and enjoy great, undistorted, High-Resolution Audio.

Smart BIAS

The built-in smart BIAS system controls the amp’s BIAS based on the volume position. In doing so, the amp is able to utilize a field that experiences good transistor linearity without generating heat, so the sound quality always remains true.

Independent HP-AMP

To reflect the growing popularity of premium-quality headphones, this amp includes a specialized discrete amp with gain optimized to match headphone impedance.

Superior Digital Amplification

Our non-feedback S Master HX technology maintains the purity of dynamic, straight digital sound. Our new D.A Hybrid Amplifier Circuit takes this one step further, enhancing its precision and sound quality with an analog feed-forward amp. The analog amplifier corrects the errors caused by switching amplification.

Supports A Variety Of Audio Formats

Practically every Hi-Res file format has met its match with support up to DSD 22.4 MHz / PCM 32 bit 768 kHz. Whatever the acronym – from PCM to DSD and beyond – the Sony TA-ZH1ES is prepared to play it flawlessly.

A Variety Of Balanced And Unbalanced Headphone Connections

The amp utilizes a variety of headphone output connections, including both balanced (4.4mm, 3.5mm and XLR4) and unbalanced (6.3mm, 3.5mm).

Rigid And Durable For Superior Acoustic Design And Sound Isolation

The headphone amplifier's top panel is made from a combination of steel and aluminum. These materials each have their own resonance frequency, which when used in combination, suppress each other. The result is the effective elimination of unnecessary resonance.

It also features a rigid FBW chassis, which has been designed to isolate the circuit board from vibration. By minimizing vibration and preventing lateral movement, noise is reduced for a cleaner, purer sound. The newly added wall structure is made from a large aluminum block for high rigidity.

Convert any Source to DSD

Personalizing sound with the new DSD Remastering Engine. Offering double the conversion accuracy of previous models, the new DSD Remastering Engine let you convert all PCM music sources into DSD 11.2MHz. The technology utilizes FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) to convert any signal into the DSD sound format.

Well-connected

The amp features several terminals for multiple connectivity options with your current equipment, like analog input and output, plus digital inputs including optical in, coax in and USB-B — or simply room to expand.

Preserving the Feeling

Capturing every note and nuance with DSEE HX. Take the concert feeling home and experience your music as the artist intended, in near High-Resolution Audio quality. Our new DSEE HX upscaling technology features four additional modes to the standard: female vocal, male vocal, percussions and strings, for optimal sound reproduction.

Optimized Performance For A Wide Variety Of Headphones

A two –position gain switch offers both high and low impedance headphones. The higher or lower amount of power they need to deliver higher audio levels.

The Perfect Partner To The MDR-Z1R For Impeccable Sound

The stationary headphone amplifier has been developed in partnership with headphone sound specialists to realize the potential of the MDR-Z1R headphones. Pair them up to discover an immersive listening experience that will take your breath away.

Question:	Can i use the mb42x-c speakers even though impedance varies between 4 to 8 ohms? the receiver impedance says 6-16 ohms. will i be ok
Answer:	My Sony PS-LX250H works very nicely with this receiver. There is no phono input. So I plugged the red and white RCA's into the SAT/CATV input jack.
Question:	So this connects multiple speakers with Bluetooth
Answer:	40 watts
Question:	are the hdmi inputs actual inputs or just pass thru
Answer:	Dear Consumer, thanks for your question! Pls kindly noted that it doesn't work that way. The subwoofer acts like your echo studio. You pair a sound source device (phone, tablet, laptop,TV) to the subwoofer together with speakers to play sound from. For the method of connection pls check the description in this page, for more questions, pls feel free to contact [email protected].
Question:	I'm looking for a good sony reciever that i can hook my turntable up to from the back
