Sony A/V receiver gets 3D upgrade

Sony is living up to its new “Make. Believe” tagline by filling in yet another missing piece of the 3D puzzle. This time round, the Japanese electronics giant is launching its first 3D-ready A/V receiver in the form of the STR-DN1010. This sleek 7.1-channel kit features HDMI 1.4 3D pass-through technology for supporting 3D HDTVs and Blu-ray players, on top of high-resolution Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio surround sound decoding. Another unique proposition is S-AIR with wireless 2nd zone function which enables users to set up a separate listening room without the usual snaking cables. Slated for the US this June, the midrange STR-DB1010 is surprisingly affordable at only US$500, too. We do foresee one potential problem. The HDMI 1.4 and 3D technology contradicts Sony’s earlier claim that all PlayStation 3 consoles will be 3D upgradeable. Both the original fat and slim models are using HDMI 1.3 chipsets which are not 3D-ready officially.
