Great sound. And great features. Good receiver for surround sound

The denon receiver i bought years ago only lasted for maybe two years and the quality on that was not good. This sony is a lot cheaper but is better than the denon

Yes, this amp is awesome! Great sound, looks good, and supports HDMI 4K. Tons of hookups provide for a lot of options too. However....the instructions that come with this unit stink. For instance, if you want to just turn on the TV and not run through the amp, there are no published instructions for this..Lyon are basically on your own to figure it out. I finally did, but it took several days. Other than that, it’s a nice piece of hardware that will do everything you want except drain your wallet.

WOW!!! This receiver/amp pack a wallop with crystal clear sound and clean power!

Great sound with alot features. Easy to setup. Solid equalizer with deep bass. But front surround sound needs improvement.

Very good sound and lots of features and overall easy to use.

I was debating which receiver to get and it was a hard choice as there is many models and different brands to choose from but gave this one a shot since the price was right and it came with everything needed like Dolby atmos, hdmi, 7.2 channels, good wattage etc. It pushes my Polk audio speakers very well and they are not easy to push as they can take alot of wattage but this receiver sounds super nice with them. Easy on screen management and setup as well.

Sounds excellent, and easy to set up. I hope it lasts as long as the Sony receiver it replaced. ;)

Very happy with this purchase. My Polk Audio speakers translate the sound this unit makes wonderfully. Granted, it is not the best audio equipment but, bang for buck, it is outstanding! I have it set up with 5.1 speaker configuration which gives you a host of speaker setups controlled by a push of a remote control button with lots of power to spare.

The receiver is easy to setup and has good sound. I've had one issue with it since I got it that I haven't been able to solve. The receiver will pop up a screen every time I turn it on to select the input. I want it to just go to the input that was last used, and not require me to get the remote to select the input that it's already on. Other than that, it's a solid unit that can pump out the noise.

Very good av receiver for the money. Easy setup. The unit is all I would need for my theater room. I hooked up 2 pairs bose 901 series 6 speakers for the mains and the surrounds. Jbl control 5's handles the center channel and the rear hight channels. 1 mtx sw12 subwoofer for the bass. Sound is clean when streaming movies and 4k uhd disc's. Good purchase. Very happy. I just need one more mtx sw12 to make it complete.

Easy to install. Good sound. Needed a receiver to use with a 4k TV and this had all the features at a reasonable price

Sony receiver was very easy to set up. The sound is great. A lot better than my old receiver

Easy set up. Great sound delivered. Great value and very intuitive.

It’s a very good unit and the price is great. I have had three previous models and Sony continues to and features that keep up with new technology. For example, 4K pass through, Atmos and enhanced room correction.

My Sony STRDH-790 is working great. Sounds great. No problems. It was an open box unit and it looked like brand new.

This is the third receiver I purchased after first trying the Onkyo TX-NR686, and then a Pioneer Elite VSX-LX103. I would absolutely not recommend purchasing an Onkyo or Pioneer (Onkyo now owns Pioneer). While the Sony may be the least robust of the three models in terms of extras and connectivity, what it offers simply works. As I learned, it's one thing to put a bunch of logos on a box and claim it does x, y, and z, but it's a complete other thing to have these functions work properly. So far, where others have stumbled on basic functions, the Sony model here has worked beautifully. The ARC functions work perfectly with my Samsung TV, and the sound is loud and crisp. HDR content looks wonderful. The interface is simple and functional. It has a dense, solid feel that feels quality. I appreciate the helpful owner's manual. My family has been buying Sony consumer products for 40+ years, and I'm happy to report this is another quality entry in that lineage. I very much recommend.

I would have given this 5 stars if not for the confusing HDMI set up. I was originally running all of my devices through the HDMI connections, but my Samsung TV wouldn't handshake correctly while switching inputs, and it was more of a pain than it was worth. Now, I use only the ARC and it works perfectly. The sound quality is very good for this price range, and it's powerful enough for larger speakers.

I purchased this to replace and older system I had that did not have hdmi plug ins. This was a easy set up , attach speaker wires the same as always except for the bass speaker . This required a push plug instead of the conventional wired speaker . I used my original sound system speakers except for the bass speaker that I have to purchase because of the plug in. The sound is great and it is easy to use. I am very pleased!!

Don't think twice! Get this ASAP. What more can you want for a Dolby Atmos 7.1 Channel Receiver? As a custom installer, I got this for my client and hooked up all KEF THX In-Wall speakers and sounds like being in a home theater! Just FYI, these receivers are high in demand, can't find these online unless they're backordered. Pick up these and see why it's in demand for 2021.
