Sony sadness
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well I took a chance and tried to match this with my Sony TV and it was great while it lasted, but I think this will be the last time I buy a Sony audio product. I got approximately one year of use out of this before it went into protect mode. Went back to my old Yamaha while this one is getting repaired. What a disappointment because their TVs are second to none.

No eARC
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Lots of cool features but if you plan on passing lossless TrueHD or uncompressed ATMOS to this receiver via EARC-HDMI...... FUH-GET-ABOUT-IT, This receiver does not have eARC even though it's inferred. First one I bought power transformer failed under warranty. Hope they just give me credit so I can get a Denon. Best Buy Geek Squad was fricken awesome though.... But here. Better than Amazon and they price match.

Posted .Hi TattooJim! We are really sorry to hear that the Sony STRDH790 did not meet all your expectations. This is not the satisfaction we'd like you to have with our products. Regarding passing lossless TrueHD or uncompressed Atmos to the receiver, you may try the following steps: Ensure you are using a Certified Premium High-Speed HDMI cable that supports eARC.
Verify that eARC is enabled on both your TV and your receiver, for your receiver press the AMP MENU button on the remote control, navigate to . Select CTRL.HDMI and set it to CTRL ON then select EARC and set it to AUTO. Also make sure that your TV has the latest firmware installed, as keeping the software updated can resolve many compatibility and performance issues. If you are still unable to achieve this, please email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details: Name: Sony Website username: Model Number: Issue: and Telephone Number:
