    I purchased this receiver for my bedroom to upgrade to Atmos and I love this receiver. Atmos and DTS:X sounds perfect, also I recommend getting SVS Prime Elevation Speakers for Atmos and DTS:X, the sound will blow you away.

    Decent receiver. Replaces an old Yamaha receiver which was much better, had much more variations in sound choices and filters, This does the job though, was pretty expensive for what you get

      Hi CaptK,

      Thank you for the review. The STRDH790 receiver supports the latest three-dimensional surround sound formats including Dolby Atmos and DTS: X, drawing you into the middle of the action you see on screen. And with 4K Ultra HD picture quality, and support for all major HDR formats including Dolby Vision, your viewing experience will be transformed. You’re in for quite the cinematic upgrade!

    It's a great receiver for the price. I have no major complaints and does what it's supposed to do. My only complaint is with the auto calibration. I would not use it. It set crossover frequencies much too high on all my speakers. After I manually set everything up, it sounded much better.

    Had been searching web sites for a decent receiver when I saw this Sony model on sale at Best Buy. Specs seemed to match my requirements. They did not have it in stock at the first store I went to but they directed me to another Best Buy that was only 15 miles away. Brought it home and set it up that day. Works great.

    I had an older Marantz that began having problems with the ARC pass through and chose this Sony to replace it since I did not have $800 plus for an up to date Marantz. This Sony meets my needs. My only criticism is that only the front L/R speaker connections accommodate my banana plugs and I have to use bare wires for all the others.

    I am happy with it. It is basic the same as 5.2 the receiver but this one has 7.2. More features and bigger receiver. It is better than pioneer I owned and it broke in a few days to exchange this Sony. Very simple calibration and set it to forget it. Pioneer is more complex calibration

    You can't beat this Receiver for the price. It has almost all the bells and whistles that you could want but at heart it does a very good job on decoding the incoming signals. I have not problems with eARC connections and overall it just does a great job. Highly recommended.

    This TV has excellent color and good image resolution, but the Smart TV function varies between 4K and 1080p without notice and oddly. There are some issues with motion since it seems blurred too often compared to an LG that I had before. Other than that it needs to be more responsive to WiFi and more stable overall.
