Sony to start rolling out promised 3D update for latest A/V receivers
As promised, Sony will begin rolling out updates for its latest A/V receivers to enable the latest 3D signals to pass through them. Obviously this is only for the STR-DH710 and STR-DH810 that were released a few months ago, and can be performed by the user so no trip to the shop is required. If you happened to have picked one of these guys up more recently, then the download links below (that go live the night of July 23rd) are of no use to you because Sony has already been shipping updated receivers for the past month or so.
Sony intros 3D-capable STR-DN1010 A/V receiver
Sony's already introduced 3D TVs and 3D Blu-ray players, and it's now finally followed those up with a 3D-capable receiver for those who need to pass through 3D video while internally decoding high res audio. That model, the STR-DN1010, is naturally a 7.1 A/V receiver, and boasts 110 watts of power per channel, along with four HDMI ports (including one with Audio Return Channel plus three component), support for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, upscaling of any video source to 1080p, support for Sony's S-AIR wireless system, and a Digital Media Port to accommodate iPod docks and other accessories, among other standard fare. Look for this one to land in June for $500, along with three other new non-3D models (the STR-DH810, STR-DH710 and STR-DH510) that will run you $400, $300 and $230.
