Cutting-edge home theater with advanced control options
Sony’s flagship receiver brings you thrilling home theater with plenty of cool control options. The STR-ZA5000ES integrates seamlessly with several popular third-party control systems for fully automated entertainment in today’s smart homes. You can dial in your ideal settings for movie nights, and with the touch of a button, the lights go down, the blinds close, the A/C kicks on, and your movie starts playing. Even if you’re not quite there yet, you’ll appreciate state of the art features like 4K picture quality for the ultimate movie and TV realism. Dolby Atmos adds a new dimension to home theater sound, drawing you into the scene with incredibly accurate surround effects.
Convenient home automation capability
Home automation simplifies your life and heightens your enjoyment of movies, TV, and music. The ‘ZA5000ES is compatible with leading home automation systems like Crestron, Control4, and Savant. An 8-port Ethernet hub lets you pass through network connections from your router to other devices. Two of the ports offer power-over-Ethernet so the receiver can supply power to compatible devices like IP cameras, intercom systems, and lighting controllers.
Sophisticated simplicity
For all the features it offers, the STR-ZA5000ES is easy to use. The on-screen guide offers straightforward navigation of the receiver’s features and settings. Custom presets allow one-button recall of sources and sound settings. You can have a preset for late-night viewing, for example, that turns on your Blu-ray player, switches the receiver to the right input, and keeps the volume low. Or you can make a preset for watching concert videos with the sound dialed in just the way you like it.
Music and video in different rooms
If you want a stereo music setup outside your home theater, you can configure the STR-ZA5000ES’ surround back or height channels for music playback in a second zone. Then you can relax in your listening room or on your porch while others watch a movie with 7.2-channel surround sound in the living room. This receiver’s dual-zone HDMI switching lets you send video signals to a second TV, so you can catch up on your shows in the bedroom while the kids watch a movie in the living room. There are also line-level outputs for adding speakers in a third room with an additional receiver or amp.
