Customers are saying
Customers often highlight the excellent sound quality, ease of use, and Dolby Atmos capabilities of the 1155W 7.2-Ch. A/V Home Theater Receiver. Many also appreciate the receiver's power and straightforward setup process. While some users noted the unit can get warm during operation and that the menu system could be improved, the positive feedback on sound and ease of use outweighs these concerns for most buyers. The price point is also frequently cited as a positive aspect.

Posted .Hi Ludwin,
Thanks for sharing your experience so far with your new STRDN1080 7.2 ch. Dolby Atmos Wi-Fi Network AV Receiver. You’re now able to experience true home theater sound without limitations. Once you take advantage of Dolby Atmos and DTS:X object-based surround sound, combined with 4K HDR and HDCP 2.2 support, there is no going back! Be sure to take advantage of the flexibility of 6- in/2-out HDMI and multi-room listening, plus voice control powered by Google Home. Don’t forget our Phantom rear surround channels can transform your five-channel system into a seven- channel system too!
Thank you for choosing Sony!

It gets really hot just sitting there.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The unit in standby mode gets really warm. I do have HDMI pass-through enabled because I typically watch TV with Bluetooth headphones (linked to the TV) and don't turn on this receiver unless the family is watching with me. And I change the settings suggested in the manual to reduce power consumption (except HDMI pass-through.) I did try turning off the pass-through which does appear to cool down the receiver a bit but then I have to use the receiver's Bluetooth which is very flaky making the initial connection to my headphones - it can take 5 minutes for it to connect whereas connecting to the TV is instantaneous. (Yes, I turn off the TV's Bluetooth when using the receiver's and vice versa. ) Also, I bought this receiver for the Zone-2 speakers as I have a pair of speakers on the patio but they can't be used with any of the HDMI inputs. Plus changing the volume on them is very difficult. Another complaint I have is the power output ratings are very misleading. It is no where near 1155W, I figure it is probably more like 120W total. (AC Line power is only 240W so unless it has it's own internal power generator, the most power you can hope to get is about half that.) I was going to give it 3 starts but after writing this review I lowered my rating to 2 stars.

Absolutely Awesome
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this unit to replace my 15 year old Sony A/V receiver that finally died after many years and many many thousands of hours of constant use. This new unit is great. Lots of features and options. Very easy to use GUI. I run everything and I mean everything through this unit including a PS3, PS4, my Mac Mini, big screen tv, a Sony carousel CD player, Pro-Ject turntable, dvd/vhs unit, router and 7.1 speaker setup. Handles it all with ease and plenty of power to boot.

fantastic receiver
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.pros: -sound - certainly the most important feature of a home theater receiver, in my opinion, is the sound quality. this receiver delivers an exceptional sound quality, and at 165w by 7 channels, plenty of power as well. after an initial calibration setup, the imaging of my theater setup sounds fantastic. audio is crisp and powerful. from highs to lows, the full spectrum is well represented. -setup / calibration - using the included microphone, setup was quick and easy. there is an automated setup wizard that walks you through the initial functions and calibration setup. the only thing it recognized incorrectly in my setup were the size of the rear speakers (setting them as large when they are actually small satellites). -menu system - this receiver includes 2 menu systems, one “amp” menu that is common to most Sony receivers, and a “home” menu that shows up on the TV screen and is much more user friendly and easy to navigate. -features - i have not tried a full 7.2 atmos setup as of yet, but my 5.1 setup sounds amazing. the introduction of the phantom surround back channels, wifi connectivity, included chromecast, a wealth of hdmi inputs, codec support, hi res audio, and of course the power rating are all features you would normally see in higher priced receivers. -price point - at release, a price tag of $600 sets this receiver apart, and should compete with much higher priced receivers. cons: -power on volume control - previous to this receiver, i had a nice mid-level Onkyo receiver. this receiver bests that one in every way except one - the Onkyo had a volume setting for when you power on the receiver. no frantically trying to turn the volume down if you were last listening to something louder and forgot to turn it down before you turned it off. it is something i am personally willing to deal with, however, for the step up in power and sound quality with the Sony. misc: -hdmi control seems a bit fidgety for my taste (though that is likely more an hdmi spec issue than a Sony issue). i personally use an Apple TV to turn on both the receiver and a Samsung TV. sometimes the input will stay on Apple TV, sometimes it will change over to the TV setting. easy enough to switch it back, but a little quirky none the less. overall: wow, wow, wow…for the price, i haven’t personally seen anything that can compete with this receiver. it’s got a ton of features, and amazing sound clarity and power. highly recommended for the living room or the media room home theater enthusiast.
