New TA-VA777ES Targets Pure HiFi and Home Theatre Applications



With the introduction of the TA-VA777ES, Sony has set a new standard in its high-end ES (Extremely high Standard) AV amplifier range. The new model features the latest Sony developments in digital and analogue technology and targets both AV and pure audio users. The inclusion of Cinema Studio EX mode - the latest version of Sony's proprietary Digital Cinema Sound (DCS) system, makes it a 'must buy' for the dedicated Home Theatre enthusiast. At the same time the TA-VA777ES will appeal to serious music lovers with advanced analogue and digital signal processing capabilities enabling users to appreciate the extended dynamic frequency and superb audio performance of Sony's new high definition format, Super Audio CD (SACD).

"This flagship amplifier builds on our successful 9000 Series (TA-E9000, TA-N9000) and is focussed on achieving the very best audio quality for the home theatre and HiFi enthusiast," commented Daniel Svoboda, Senior Product Manager at Sony HiFi Europe. "Even the real audiophile community will be impressed by this model's power, precision and performance."

Outstanding audio performance for the HiFi user

As well as its digital capabilities, the TA-VA777ES is equipped with a pre- and power amplifier and can process analogue signals as a pure audio amplifier. Sophisticated A/D converters allow Digital Cinema Sound to be used with analogue signal. The analogue section of the amplifier is designed to operate to the highest Sony HiFi amplifier performance levels and incorporates much of the company's most sophisticated "R Series" technology.

This new amplifier contains a very advanced analogue sound processing capability with technology designed to meet the most demanding audio requirements. Two important audio facilities integrated with the new amplifier are an Analogue Direct Circuit and an Analogue Pureness Control Circuit.

Digital amplifiers normally convert analogue signals to digital, process them and then reconvert back to analogue before playing out. With the new Analogue Direct Circuit, one button push deactivates all DSP processing systems and the signals are routed direct from the input terminals to the master volume with no A/D, D/A conversion, so delivering the analogue audio waveform in its pure, natural form.

The analogue sound quality is preserved through a new Analogue Pureness Control function. Through this technique, the amplifier's audio and AV inputs are separated. Whenever an audio input is selected, all the video circuits power automatically shuts off. This neat feature prevents noise being needlessly amplified or any other electrical interference occurring in the audio path. Furthermore, by shutting off the amplifier's internal clock at the same time any beat interference is preve
