The STR-DG820 7.1 channel A/V receiver delivers the Full HD 1080 experience to a home theater system. This new 1080p A/V Receiver features HDMI with "Active Intelligence", plus x.v.Colour and 1080/24p signal capability. In addition to decoding uncompressed audio (LPCM via HDMI), the STR-DG820 decodes the latest audio formats from Dolby Labs and DTS making this model fully compatible with Blu-ray Disc. Now, you can hear the original mix of your favorite BD titles regardless of audio format.

Need more HDMI inputs? The STR-DG820 features four HDMI inputs that allows for more HD content to be connected. Looking for simplicity? BRAVIA Sync provides a one button operation (via HDMI) of your entire A/V experience with a select number of BRAVIA televisions. Because no room is perfect, Sony's Digital Cinema Auto Calibration (and its supplied microphone) simplifies speaker set up and optimizes speaker performance with the push of one button in just 30 seconds. This full featured A/V receiver expands its ability to playback music from various audio sources (i.e. iPod and Walkman music devices, PC, etc.) with the DIGITAL MEDIA PORT. Would you like to listen to satellite radio? The XM Connect-and-Play Ready feature provides the ability to access XM satellite radio programming in surround sound.

why would you do this to me? Ive been umming and aaarrring about one of these for a while, but been able to stop myself as combined with a decent speaker set from Richer Sounds it came to over £400.

But here you are, posting this at a much lower price, tempting me, teasing me, making things viable and more affordable.

Ive got to stop coming here....

Greta price RS have lowered theirs to £229.95 for VIP members so you can get them to price match this and get it for £209, was looking at this but ending up getting a deal on the Onkyo 606. At this price though you can't go wrong.

LOL Jonster. Plead your case.

Outputs are amazing. Something I may purchase next year. But on a 19" TV it would be wasted.

That's EXACTLY what i'm thinking

Got a Sony pre-HDMI 7.1 100w RMS per channel amp and have wanted another for a while, but can't afford one even at this price.

Damn you OP

Looks like it only has one hdmi output (looking at the pic of the back panel)

How to feed a projector and tv at the same time?

With jazz hands switching the cable very, very, very quickly. Ahem.

The real answer is that dual HDMI output is very rare, and you only tend to see it on AV receivers that cost over a grand.

The answer is a little box from the good people at JS Tech, £68 BOSH!

You won't get more HDMI outputs until you're paying at least 5 times the price of this. If you have a projector and a TV to connect to you should really go for a better amp.

You could use component for one.
Not sure whether you'd be able to get it to output though both at the same time, i doubt it.

Very few amps have 2 hdmi outs, but maybe some sort of hdmi splitter/switch working in reverse might work.

sorry to be a n00b, but what does this actually do?

does it act as a central hub for all your entertainment needs? eg. you connect all your devices to this one Receiver & just select the device you want to use.
also, where do you get speakers for these to connect to those surround sockets? (top right of pic)

thx.
