Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easy hook up, simple GUI, a good buy. Great sound.

Works great for what I needed it for. Set up with Sony surround speakers and Klipsch powered subs and it sounds amazing.

Works very well. Good value for the money. Easy operation.

Great mid-range AVR. I have all Sony products and love how they communicate together so easily! Easy set up with plenty of power. Great buy!

Movies beware! I love the ability to plug in the microphone assistant to help set up the sound, makes the final sound that much better when listening to the great flix, and the football games are like being there! So glad I bought this piece of equipment.

Had to upgrade my receiver due to buying a new 4K TV. This one is great so far, supporting Atmos and other new technologies. Setup was a little frustrating as I had the option to use an “enhanced” selection for certain inputs. It didn’t work and I was frustrated trying to figure out what happened until I lucked into turning it back off.

It replaces what I had, that died due to a power surge. It does a great job. I am very satisfied.

This receiver was cinch to set up and the sound is great!

Performance is great. Great sound and easy to set up

Works great the sound is good. it very easy to hookup!

Sony atmos 790 receiver i love it great sound it's like being in a movie theater. Especially the bookshelf (8) speakers with subwoofers. 4k 50" hisense tv to go with it. Don't change a thing.

Perfect receiver for your average home theater setup. I am very pleased with it and it’s very easy to use. Make sure you use the HDMI ARC connection - you’ll never even need to touch your receiver again since it links with the TV’s HDMI ARC port.

Sometimes i have to turn back off for sound. But other than that its worth the money. The sound and quality of this AV is awesomeness.

Sony has always impressed me with the technology and innovation they are developing. I have purchased 4 of these over the course of 10 years and each time I have been impressed with how Sony takes out the complications of setting up the new one and makes it easier each time. Easy to follow instructions makes connection to your new TV or surround sound a breeze. Now, with the improvements to Bluetooth you can connect any nearly any brand of speakers and no wire connections are needed. Another great idea from Sony.

Getting this receiver on sale was probably the best thing I could’ve done. It’s functions are amazing. Atmos is out of this world. Hooked it up to my Klipsch floor standing speakers and I was speechless. Bluetooth enabled so you can listen to music from your phone through the receiver onto the speakers in your home. Love it!

The power cable was broken and I didnt notice until it was too late, I had to mickey mouse the cable for it to work. Other than that it was fine just check everything in the box

Don’t even think about it. If you want a Dolby atmos receiver that sounds great out of the box, pull the trigger. No frills with this receiver, but all I needed was something that would bring my movies to life. And this does the trick. An added bonus is the picture quality is a good.

Love it! Many useful features, plus some bells and whistles that I don't use. I'm slowly upgrading our system - piece by piece. This amp actually senses when the older speakers can't take what its putting out and shuts down! Buy it!

Been great so far for entry level home tgeatre. Has atmos capability amd I run a 5.1.2 system. Will add a sub to go 5.2.2 eventually. Great value with this avr. You will have to spend twice as much if you want 4 height chanels, so this is my go to for entry level receivers.

I have had this receiver for about two months. I would normally wait a year to ensure the quality is high enough to maintain a lifespan of at least a year, but at least I'll say a few words of interest for prospective buyers. The track record (from other buyers is good, with few negative complaints which prompted me to purchase it. The features are kind of basic, but offer a number of items that really don't exist in very inexpensive receivers. It even has Bluetooth capability. It unfortunately has a lower capability to drive my Sony subwoofer than my previous receiver, but yet minimally acceptable. The programmability of tuning the back speakers is kind of cumbersome, but doable. In this price range I believe it is a candidate for one who is looking to buy a surround system that will not break the bank but yet do the job. One last thought to remember... Choose a component by model and not by manufacturer because models can range from terrible to great. Look at the reviews from people who bought the particular models and look for a commonality of negative complaints rather than someone only saying it is better than sliced bread.
