Made for the movies
“We designed the STR-DN1030 so you can hear movies exactly as the director intended” explains Naoto Yoshioka, Home Audio Video Senior Product Manager at Sony Europe. “To create true cinematic audio, the STR-DN1030 uses HD Digital Cinema Sound, a specialised technology developed by our Sony Pictures team from careful study of Hollywood sound stage recordings. Sony Pictures have won 12 Academy Awards for Best Picture, so they know about creating amazing quality sound for the movies.”
