QuestionI currently have the Denon AVR-S540BT. Would this Sony AVR be considered a downgrade or an upgrade from my current AVR?
Asked 3 years ago by DanH.
- Answer Funny you asked. This is my replacement for that model. It is a tad better. The Denon is easier to set up, I think the Sony sounds better. The Sony is 7.2, but I use as 5.1. The Denon lost few surround sounds after warranty expired.

QuestionIs it possible to set this up as a multi room system to listen to music? I have speakers outside that I'd like to hook up to play music on.
Asked 3 years ago by JG.
- Answer Hi JG, To fully enjoy theater-like multi-channel surround sound, you need five speakers (two front speakers, a center speaker, and two surround speakers) and a subwoofer. The AV receiver doesn't have a zone function so you cannot connect outside speakers. If you want that function, we recommend STR-DN1080. Regards, David

QuestionHi, I have this receiver + a Klipsch Atmos Reference 5.1.4 speaker system. Is there a way to daisy chain/combine the front and top firing speakers into one speaker? That way I can still have 7 speakers, but add the 4 upfiring speakers as atmos channels?
Asked 3 years ago by Timmy.
- Answer Hi Timmy, Unfortunately, you cannot combine speakers. This manual describes the installation, connection, and setting procedures using the typical speaker systems indicated in the table below as examples. To learn about all speaker systems supported by this receiver, see “Selecting the speaker pattern”. See page 16 for details. https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/res/manuals/4726/890436b47fd2ffcc4003f34dc5f2592c/47269051M.pdf Regards, David

QuestionWe have built in speakers for our smart home. We were told that the speakers can run via the smart home system if it is z-wave compatible, meaning we can tell Alexa to play music through the system. Would this receiver work for that?
Asked 3 years ago by Smarthome.
- Answer Hi Smarthome, The AV receiver doesn't support alexa. When matching speakers and Audio/Video (A/V) receivers, the ohm rating of the speaker should be equal to or greater than the ohm rating of the receiver to avoid a risk of hardware damage. Any speakers that feature bare wire connection will work to this receiver, as long as their impedances are from 6 to 16 ohms. Regards, David

Asked 3 years ago by mancave.
- Answer Hi mancave, Good question! Yes, you can connect your Roku to one of the 4 HDMI IN ports of this receiver and output the picture to your projector. If your TV/projector is compatible with eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) or ARC (AudioReturn Channel) function, connecting the optical digital audio cable is not necessary.

QuestionHello, Please let me know if Receiver STR DH790 is compatible with SSCS5 Speakers, and SACS9 Subwoofer for a TV XBR 55A9G sound system?
Asked 4 years ago by PQ1sound.
- Answer Hello PQ1sound, Yes, the SSCS5 and SACS9 subwoofer will work with STRDH790 and XBR 55A9G. We also recommend using speaker wires that are anywhere between 12 to 16 gauge. These are most commonly used for connecting speakers to an amplifier or an Audio/Video (A/V) receiver. Hope this helps! David
