FEATURES

360 Spatial Sound that adapts to your environment


The AN1000 features 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology to draw you into your entertainment like never before. Based on the positional information measured by D.C.A.C. IX, multiple phantom speakers[FN|The number of Phantom speakers generated varies depending on the speaker configuration.] are generated all around you, for an entirely new sound sensation, so you can experience all the drama of Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X® alongside every breath, step and word like you're right inside the film.

Seamless auto calibration with your favourite speakers


The supplied calibration microphone and latest-generation D.C.A.C. IX auto calibration allows the AN1000 to measure 3D position of the speakers. Compensate for challenging speaker placement, delay or phase shift, and enjoy authentic cinematic experiences with advanced digital signal processing, including the stunning immersive 360 Spatial Sound.

Find your audio sweet spot


The flexible speaker solution ‘relocates’ sound to simulate the optimal position and angle for the best audio experience, working around any physical space restrictions.[FN|When 360 Spatial Sound Mapping is activated, users can not use this feature.]

Experience full surround sound


The Phantom Surround Back speaker setting replicates the immersive sound of physical surround back speakers, enabling you to enjoy a 7 channel surround sound experience with only a 5 channel speaker setup.[FN|When 360 Spatial Sound Mapping is activated, users can not use this feature.]

Movies and games feel so real


See vivid scenes full of real-life colour and depth. All of the original picture quality is preserved when played through the AN1000, so you’ll be completely immersed in movies. Gaming is also much more thrilling and realistic, with support for the latest formats, such as Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) in HDMI 2.1.

Enjoy an immersive gaming and movie experience


Enjoy immersive gaming and movie watching with optimised picture settings from Auto HDR Tone Mapping and Auto Genre Picture Mode when connecting BRAVIA XR™ TVs and PlayStation®5 through this product.

Immerse yourself in supreme music quality


Enjoy music the way the artists truly intended with High-Resolution Audio for crystal clear precision. Or discover a new way of listening with 360 Reality Audio[FN|Requires download of Sony | Music Center app. Subscription to compatible online music service and third party terms, conditions, and fees may apply. Compatible services may not be available in certain countries/regions. Please visit www.sony.net/360RA/ to check compatibility of the application and the service.] for a truly immersive live concert or studio session experience. With the AN1000, your music comes to life like never before. It also supports DSD (Direct Stream Digital) native playback, with no conversion involved so DSD content can be fully enjoyed without losing any of the original quality.

DSEE Ultimate


Using Edge-AI (Artificial Intelligence), DSEE Ultimate™ (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) upscales compressed digital music files in real time. Adaptively recognising instrumentation, musical genres, and individual elements of each song, such as vocals or interludes, it can restore acoustic subtleties and dynamic range, as well as high-frequency clarity and presence, for a richer, more complete listening experience.*[A] Expand audio dynamic (strings and whisper-quiet subtleties)[B] Restored high frequencies (acoustic and vocal instrument realism)

Digital section


This AV product has a revamped digital section, with all signal processing performed on a single chip.HDMI has also been changed to support 8K I/O, as well as devices and circuits.

J-FET combination buffer AMP


Our audio engineers custom-tuned the AN1000's circuit layout using the actual analogue output of the Digital-Analogue Converter (DAC). The resulting addition of a Junction-gate Field Effect Transistor (J-FET) improved the OP-AMP performance by around 20%. High-resolution audio formats especially have benefited, with more precise phase rotation at higher frequencies and cleaner overall sound.

New Large Capacity Power Transformer


The new power transformer is designed for even lower distortion. An improved copper wound core and bobbin, alongside a newly-refined manufacturing process, delivers audiophile precision to all your entertainment.

Acoustic Center Sync


When connected to a BRAVIA TV with Acoustic Center Sync[FN|Acoustic Center Sync works with your compatible BRAVIA™ TV and/or your center speaker.] [FN|Acoustic Center Sync works with following models: Z9K series, A95K series, A90K series, A80K series, A75K series, X95K series, X90K series, Z9J series, A90J series, A80J series, X95J series.

With Acoustic Center Sync, you’ll hear dialogue from the screen. Action and sound are precisely aligned so your viewing becomes much more immersive.[FN|Both HDMI cable (not supplied) and a stereo mini cable (not supplied) are required.]
