- Is the STR-AN1000 worth it over a Denon or Yamaha?
- It is the stronger pick if you want Sony's 360 Spatial Sound Mapping and 8K pass-through. Denon and Yamaha rivals typically give you more HDMI inputs and more polished menus.
- How many speakers can it power?
- It drives 7.2 channels, so a 5.1.2 or 7.2 layout. Height or surround-back speakers are assigned in the setup menu.
- Does it support 8K and 4K/120 for a PS5?
- Yes. It passes 8K and 4K/120 through its HDMI inputs, which suits a PS5 or Xbox Series X and a recent 8K TV.
- Does it come with a calibration microphone?
- Yes. A microphone is included for auto calibration, and the receiver sets levels and distances from it.
- Can I stream music to it?
- Yes. It supports network streaming and app control, so you can play music from a phone or streaming service over your network.
- What is in the box?
- The receiver, a calibration microphone, a remote and a startup guide. Speaker wire and HDMI cables are not included.
- Where is the Sony Str-AN1000 7.2 Channel 8K Av Receiver With Speaker Accessory Kit cheapest?
- At Best Buy, for $1,148.00, as of our latest check.
