7.2-Channel 8K A/V Receiver
The Sony STR-AN1000 is a 7.2-channel A/V receiver delivering 165W per channel at 6 ohms with 0.90% THD. It decodes Dolby Atmos and DTS:X for object-based surround sound. The unit suits home-theatre enthusiasts who want a 7.2 or 5.2.2 speaker layout with 8K video switching and multi-zone audio distribution.
HDMI 2.1 Connectivity Limits
Six HDMI inputs and two outputs support 8K and 4K/120 pass-through with Dolby Vision, HDR10, Hybrid Log Gamma and IMAX Enhanced. The HDMI 2.1 interface carries these formats but does not add processing for legacy analogue sources. Bandwidth is shared across the six inputs, so simultaneous 8K signals on multiple ports may require manual switching.
Pre-Purchase Setup Checks
Verify your speaker impedance matches the 6-ohm rating used for the 165W specification. Confirm your display and source devices use HDMI 2.1 for 8K or 4K/120 signals; older HDMI cables will limit resolution. Ensure rack space accommodates the receiver’s depth and ventilation needs, and that your network provides Wi-Fi or Ethernet for streaming and app control.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 7.2-channel or 5.2.2 setup for this receiver?
This unit delivers 7.2 channels of amplification; a 5.2.2 layout uses two of those channels for height speakers while 7.2 uses all seven for ear-level surround.
What does the 165 W rating mean when I am watching a film?
165 W is measured at 6 ohms, 1 kHz, single channel with 0.9 % THD; real-world multi-channel output will be lower but still ample for typical living-room volumes.
Which HDMI standard limits the 8K and 4K/120 signals on the six inputs and two outputs?
The board uses HDMI 2.1, so 8K/60 and 4K/120 pass through without bandwidth compression on all six inputs and both outputs.
