The STR-DE845 has the power and processing to get the best out of your source--whether it is a DTV or DSS broadcast, DVD, or a simple VHS tape. The STR-DE845 incorporates Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital and DTS decoding, and with Sony’s exclusive Digital Cinema Sound system-makes your movies sound exactly the way they were meant to be.
Bring state-of-the-art digital cinema into your home with the feature-packed STR-DE845. 24-bit processor gives you super-precise Dolby Digital and DTS decoding, while a separate 32-bit processor handles Sony's exclusive Digital Cinema Sound - soundfield circuitry based on acoustic measurements made at Sony Pictures Studios movie production stages. You'll hear movie soundtracks the way the producers and directors intended it to be heard. There are 27 different DSP modes in all.

100 watts per channel in stereo mode, or 100 watts x 5 in home theater mode to render your home theater and music sources with clarity, realism, and impact. 4-ohm/8-ohm switching enables reliable operation with low-impedance speakers.
Built-in Dolby Pro Logic decoding provides multichannel surround sound from sources like a HiFi VCR or stereo TV.
Built-in Dolby Digital and DTS decoder generates 5.1 discrete channels of sound for left, right, center, left surround, right surround and subwoofer
Complete set of menu selections and controls let you match the decoder output to your specific speaker set-up and listening room. Adjustments include Bass Redirection, Variable Delay Time, Individual Channel Balance and Volume. (Variable Delay Time lets you adjust the surround sound to match your listening room and speaker setup.)
Digital Cinema Sound System provides the ultimate reference for movie theater sound by digitally recreating the acoustic environments of the Hollywood dubbing stage (where directors mix, evaluate and approve a movie’s final sound tracks). Based on actual measurements at the Sony Pictures Studios dubbing stages in Hollywood, Digital Cinema Sound lets your movies sound exactly the way they were meant to be heard. (Includes Cinema Studio EX, Virtual Rear, Virtual 3D and Virtual Mix modes.)
32-bit DSP with 27 acoustic environments for reproducing movies and music in the appropriate setting. For example, movies in a theater, classical music in a hall, rock music in an arena
Unlike home theater systems which use only two rear speakers, movie theaters use an array of multiple side and rear speakers. So to make your home theater system sound like the movie theater, a Virtual Multi-Dimension Mode can generate and place the sound of up five pairs of virtual rear speakers--using only two rear speakers.
Supplied preprogrammed remote control operates many brands of A/V equipment including DSS receivers and DVD Player menu control. The LCD puts Disc Memo names and CD Text information in the palm of your hand.
