Streamline your entertainment
With so many entertainment options available, wouldn't it be great to tie them all together for easy access, in a way that lets you experience them to the fullest? The Sony STR-DN860 has connections for your cable box, Blu-ray player, gaming console and more, plus built-in Wi-Fi for instant access to your home music library and free Internet radio stations from around the globe. Throw a smartphone or tablet into the mix and the list of available music options expands toward infinity. With power for seven speakers and connections for two subwoofers, along with full support for 4K video, the STR-DN860 transforms your living room into a home theater haven.
Unlock more content with your phone or tablet
The STR-DN860 plays nicely with both Apple® and Android™ phones and tablets. You can connect an iPhone®, iPod®, or iPad® directly to the front-panel USB port to access music and charge the device, or use AirPlay for convenient wireless streaming. Compatible Android phones and tablets can be connected to the front-panel MHL port for access to apps or stored music files, photos and videos. This connection displays your apps onscreen, charges your device, and lets you use your TV or receiver remote to control it. NFC touch pairing lets you tap a compatible Android phone or tablet to the receiver for an instant wireless connection. Any Bluetooth-equipped device can be used to stream music to the STR-DN860 for even more flexibility.
High-res audio
Google Cast gives you new ways to listen
The Google Cast music feature lets you stream music from any Cast-enabled app on a compatible phone or tablet directly from the cloud to the STR-DN860, bypassing your device's processing for better audio quality. One touch sends the app of your choice to the receiver and lets you use the controls within the app to browse, play, pause, skip tracks and control volume. Since your phone or tablet acts as a controller only, you'll save battery life, and you can take calls, send texts, play games, and even take it out of the room without interrupting the music you have playing. The list of Cast-enabled apps is growing, and already includes some of the most popular music apps like Pandora®, Google Play Music, and iHeart Radio®.
Treat yourself to better sound
The STR-DN860 gives you high-quality audio performance for TV, movies, and music. Using the included setup microphone, Sony's Advanced Digital Cinema Automatic Calibration system walks you through the process of optimizing your audio settings for your speakers and space. Circuitry inside the receiver measures the efficiency of your speakers and makes adjustments to give you rich, clear sound that's tailored to your room, even at lower volumes. With decoding for lossless surround sound formats, you'll get engaging, lifelike sound from your Blu-ray movies. The STR-DN860 also supports playback of high-resolution audio formats including DSD, FLAC, ALAC, and WAV.
A powerful app to integrate your music sources and play them throughout your home
Sony's SongPal app connects to your system via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth and lets you access and control all of your music, whether it's stored on your PC or comes from an online music service. The STR-DN860 can be the foundation for a whole home audio system thanks to Sony's SongPal Link technology. You'll be able to stream your music to compatible Sony sound bars and wireless speakers, creating separate audio zones throughout your home that can be controlled independently with the app.
