Great Price & Arrived on Time

Pros: The shipping package is fantastic, cosmetically it is in great shape, and the price is great.

Cons: The volume needs to be turned up relatively higher, 40+, to achieve the same sound output as with my old model, STR-DH750. It could be the new model standard function. The cables were reconnected in the same setup as the previous one. That's the only negative feedback I have.

However, overall good product and service.

The stereo I purchased works as advertised, but it was full of dead roaches and spiders - disgusting. Had to clean roach poop off of the guts before I turned it on. It was also packed very poorly with hardly any protection, so it arrived with a huge dent in the chasis. Good value off street price, but I would just pay a little more for a better quality item shipped with care next time.Read full review

Sony STR-DH790 7.2-channel A/V Receiver

I can't begin to tell you how awesome this Sony A/V receiver is. I had an expensive, high-end receiver from Onkyo, but there were always problems (and LOTS of updates that didn't always fix things). Eventually, it died... and I decided I wanted one the same brand as my TV (good thing it wasn't Vizio😆). Sony quit making their higher end A/V receivers in 2015(?!), and since I couldn't guarantee that last model would fully support 4K UHD... I opted for this one. Although it doesn't have an AM tuner (WHY???), and no wi-fi... it having "Bluetooth" is PHENOMENAL!!! I've already listened to music from my phone through the sound system, and THAT is such a great feature! The integration with the TV, as well as the rest of my devices (Sony Blu-Ray player, Xbox One X - that's my 4K disc player... and it plays games, too!). Utilizing the TV's HDMI port with ARC, ANYTHING you watch gets pumped through the STR-DH790, when it is on (the TV speakers are automatically disabled, otherwise you would get an echo effect). There IS one thing I hate (it's minor, though): The FM antenna port has a proprietary connecter. I suppose it was the cheapest connection method (other than a metal contact and a piece of tape to stick the wire to it). I have a nice dipole antenna mounted on the back of my entertainment center, which has served me well the last 2 decades for getting FM stations on MANY different brands of A/V receivers - including an earlier Sony model... and now I can't use that antenna! The first day after the warranty ends, I'm removing that connecter and replacing it with something standard (I'm an electronics engineer, but "anyone" who's capable of opening the unit and can handle a soldering iron... could replace that stupid connecter with a single screw terminal).

Other than that last gripe... I really love this Sony STR-DH790. 🥰

Works great. Puts out more heat than my old "Block" Sony combo, but at least it has good sound. Plus its not as big as the old block.

It’s a Sony!!

Haven't completely assembled all wiring just yet, I’ve ordered an atmos speaker system to pair with this receiver. My most recent and last receiver was a Sony just like this one except for the high resolution technology. And since both are 7.2 channel applications, shouldn’t be any difference hooking up the wires. I’ll post an update when I have speakers connected.Read full review

STR-DH790, The Is The Way

I already owned the smaller 590 version of this amplifier. Integrating my Sony PS5, Sony UHD Player and Sony OLED TV using this Sony receiver simply made sense. Once I included optical fiber HDMI lines to my TV through the pipe in the wall, the home theater was perfect. This receiver integrated perfectly, including with the only not-Sony product, my Apple TV. Very happy now watching Mandalorian. Read full review

Sounds OK, not the best for the full price by far, but it is compact.

The only reason I purchased is is because of the shallow depth so it fits in our AV cabinet.

Good product!

It was replacing an older mode Sony that had the center channel randomly dropping out, not quite as powerful as that model but definitely more balanced so it’s great!
