Budget pick.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good entry level receiver. eARC works without issue with my LG CX. I wish the display showed which codec was in use, such as "Dolby True HD" etc. I prefer the Onkyo display in this case.

Does what it’s supposed to
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Does what it’s supposed to. The on screen menu or lack thereof could be better like for instance naming inputs on a screen instead of figure it out on settings on the actual receiver but I absolutely love it.

Good amplifier for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had trouble getting connection to tv to work. If the receiver was off there was no sound or picture on tv. Tried just using one cable between ARC HDMI connection on reciever and ARC HDMI on tv and now it works. Still trying other features.

Sony STRDH790
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A simple, relatively inexpensive 4k receiver purchased along with a new 4k TV. My setup is 5.1 with dual subwoofers. I like the auto speaker calibration, but also has manual level adjustments if needed.

Nice sound - but pass-thru is spotty
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this receiver for the 4K HDR pass-through capability. I had issues when connecting to my TCL 6 Series display. Had issues getting ARC/CEC to work (appeared to be a cable?) and continued issues with Xbox X and PS4 Pro. In the end, I connected directly to display and they work fine. Dolby sound is great and speaker set-up was simple - just wished pass-through worked correctly.

Dolby Atmos
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great receiver but I have noticed a popping sound every couple hours. Airplay is a nice feature and being able to use the Dolby Atmos is a huge plus.
