The Sherwood Newcastle R-972


The logos say it all

The Sherwood Newcastle R-972 will deliver HDMI 1.3 connectivity, six HDMI inputs, lossless audio decoding (Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio), and a graphic onscreen user interface when it's released in August for $1,500. (Note that the back panel image shows four HDMI inputs, but Sherwood has pledged that the shipping model will include six.) The product becomes the first officially announced receiver we've seen that incorporates all of those bleeding-edge features. Its step-down model, the R-872, offers similar HDMI and lossless decoding capabilities with "only" four HDMI inputs and a text-only onscreen interface, for $500 less.

If you're planning to go High Definition, the receivers posted above looks a good option to take.  Some Blu-ray players do not decode the new HD audio streams but using their HDMI 1.3 connection should be able to allow you to decode on the receiver end.

Pioneer's new Elite receivers now with HDMI 1.3a

Whether you need it or not, HDMI 1.3a is all the rage these days. Maybe it's because it's the way we're used to doing things, but maybe it's cause we want our audio decoded by the same piece of equipment that amplifies it (but probably because Dolby can license more equipment). Regardless of where you like your Dolby TureHD decoded, we love options. Just like the recently announced Onkyo receivers, Pioneer's new lineup of Elite receivers includes decoders for Dolby TrueHD, DTS MA and a slew of other formats. These new receivers offer other features too; like iPod and satellite radio compatibility and HDMI Consumer Electronics Control. The HDMI 1.3 equipped models start with a MSRP of $1000 and will be available in June.

Integra's 1st HDMI 1.3 Receiver... The DTR-5.8

UPPER SADDLE RIVER, NJ (7/11/07) -- Integra, the first company to produce audio-video receivers specifically designed for custom home electronics installers and systems integrators, has announced immediate deliveries of its first home theater receiver with HDMI 1.3a processing. The Integra DTR-5.8 AV receiver allows the end-user to exploit the advanced audio and video capabilities of high definition HD-DVD players, BluRay players, Sony's PlayStation3 gaming systems, and other advanced systems that fully implement the HDMI 1.3a standard.

"The DTR-5.8 is the first of several important new products from Integra over the coming months," comments Integra Director of Sales, Keith Haas. "We have made important upgrades to our A/V receivers' feature sets, including HDMI v1.3a compatibility and decoding for the new lossless and high definition audio formats. As with all Integra products, the DTR-5.8 has advanced systems integration features for easier interface with multi-room and home automation technology, making it possible for our custom installing dealers to achieve lower support costs and higher profitability."

With two HDMI v.1.3a inputs and 1 output, the DTR-5.8 is is completely compatible with full 1080p digital video signals, including Deep Color™ (36 bit) information. It is among the first receivers to include internal decoding for DTS-HD Master Audio, Dolby TrueHD, and Dolby Digital Plus lossless and high resolution audio formats. Legacy analog video sources are all seamlessly transcoded to both HDMI and component video, including Faroudja DCDi Edge Technology de-interlaceing for 480i signals.

The DTR-5.8 includes a wide range of features specifically tailored to the needs of custom installers, such as bi-directional RS-232, RIHD (Remote Interactive over HDMI) system control integration over HDMI, three programmable 12-volt triggers, dual IR inputs, and three unique assignable IR code sets. It also has extensive independent Zone 2 capabilities via fixed and variable line outputs, or by using two of the seven main amplifiers. An Audyssey 2EQ room correction and calibration system simplifies speaker and room setup. Since most of these receivers will be set up by professional installers, customized dealer settings can be independently stored for easy recall.

Integra's DTR-5.8 is also the company's first receiver to feature compatibility with both XM and Sirius satellite radio programming. The addition of an optional antenna system for either network enables consumers to subscribe to and receive hundreds of channels of commercial-free music, news, talk, and entertainment programming. The receiver also includes onboard Neural THX processing for reception of multichannel XM HD surround programming. Finally, there is also a high quality terrestrial radio tuner, and the receiver features 40 presets for AM, FM, XM, or Sirius stations.

The Integra DTR-5.8 has a seven-channel amplifier section rated at 90 Watts per channel into 8 ohms, and 110 Watts into 6 ohms. With its high-current power supply, Wide-Range Amplifier Technology (WRAT), and discrete power output devices this receiver can drive high power levels with low noise, and smooth response from 5 Hz to 100 kHz.

For audiophiles, the front channels are bi-amp-capable by using two surround channels to compliment the front channels.

The Integra DTR-5.8 is now available from Integra dealers with a suggested retail price of $800.
