    Great entry-level home theater unit. Sony is still using those dang wire clips, but outside of that my complaints are limited to the following: - plastic knobs feel cheap, too much travel too feel tactile - no integrated streaming

    I chose this to replace a Pioneer unit that had issues. It's a good unit for the price but still has inherent issues that many home theater amps do. Unit will mute itself after power up. Don't know why. Has an issue with the HDCP 'handshake" between cable box and monitor that many units have. Otherwise a good unit for the price. Very good picture and sound.

    Great receiver and the design is perfect for multiple speakers. Many ports so enough options to expand which is why we purchased this Sony! All options needed for money paid and very easy to Bluetooth pair with devices!

    I bought an open box Sony STR DH790 receiver. The receiver worked fine. However, after about one week normal use, the remote controller suddenly died (did not work even with new batteries), and got replaced. It has worked great since.
