Sony scores with a new digital amplifier.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This amplifier is definitely worth considering , especially if you have a newer Sony 4K television. Your able to get volume control across all of your devices , and no compatibility issues. Sound is clean and almost as good as amps costing twice the money .

Great for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great receiver for a lower price than some of the others. I’ve paired it with my 7.2 Klipsch speakers. It’s not advertised but this system has Dolby Atmos. Took some tweaking to get the sound where I wanted it but I’m thoroughly enjoying it.

Great ATMOS Receiver
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome for ATMOS. Easily superior to even the best sound bar systems. My 5.1.2 home theater sounds as good as the real movie theater. I have tried excellent sound bar systems and even a 5.1 surround using the same receiver (I have 2 of them) and ATMOS w this receiver is just so much better.

Sony receiver review
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this receiver because my Marantz receiver went bad. The Sony receiver has just as good if not better sound quality and channel separation down the Marantz did. I also paid half as much for the Sony as I did the Marantz. I also got more watts per channel with the Sony receiver

Nice upgrade.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Thanks Sony for great and easy home theater
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Good system, lousy antenna
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy set up and decent sound quality. Propietary FM antenna plug hinders ability to hook up a stronger antenna. FM signal is weak with oem antenna.

Posted .Hi KevinB, Excellent! We're so pleased to hear you like the ease of setup of your Sony STRDH790. We understand your concern about the proprietary antenna. We value your input and strive to continually improve our products to meet the expectations of our customers.
You can't connect an external FM antenna to your A/V receiver, but you can improve the FM reception.
Adjust the position of the supplied FM wire antenna (aerial) to a place where the reception condition is good.
Place the antenna near a window.
Position the antenna as horizontally as possible.
Hope this helps!

Nice bang for its bucks
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!

Excellent receiver!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
