Only two of the six HDMI inputs support full 8K and 4K@120Hz — a notable limitation compared to rivals that offer three or more high-bandwidth ports. Both HDMI outputs are 8K-capable though, which is great for dual-display or Zone 2 setups. There's no built-in phono preamp, so turntable owners will need an external one. Four analog stereo inputs, one optical, and one coaxial cover most source components, while Sony's 360 Spatial Sound Mapping creates an immersive Dolby Atmos dome from compatible speakers.
7.2-channel 8K AV receiver with two HDMI 2.1 inputs, 360 Spatial Sound, and Dolby Atmos.
