So, thoughts after the first month -
I came from a decent, but older (2005 or so) Yamaha receiver that eventually died on me. I figured a new unit wouldn't sound too different or much better after the initial tweaking and setup outside of going from 5.1 to 7.1. I already had a decent 7.1 for my computer setup, so I knew what to expect in a general sense when getting this for my living room.
Well, I was pleasantly surprised, even setup with the same speakers in a 5.1 configuration, the audio was noticeably better in every way. Not a "night and day, OMG SO much better" kind of way, but definitely noticeable to even my non-audiophile wife. Going from that 5.1 setup to 7.1 was also a nice step up, as one could assume, but I wanted to test 5.1 vs 5.1 as best I could first, and as stated, it excelled in that regard.
Paired with a range of oddities for my speaker setup (my front speakers being some huge Peavey monitors lol) it works well, just don't pair this with some dollar store cheapos, and you'll be happy I am sure.
TLDR - Is this a top tier unit that will impress the most snobbish of ears? No.
Is it a heck of a step up from any sound bar/built in TV speaker/most older AVRs? Most definitely. You get more than what you pay for here. Even if it isn't the top shelf unit we all want, it is way more than enough for the every man and good enough for an audiophile on a budget.
Pros - value, overall sound quality is "more than enough", sturdy, easy to setup.
Cons - nothing fancy (as expected from this price range), sound quality isn't the very best (also as expected). So... Really no major gripes.
I recently purchased the Sony STR-DH790 AV receiver as a replacement for my previous Sony receiver that fell victim to a lightning strike. I must say, I am thoroughly impressed with this receiver, as it offers excellent performance and represents great value for the price.
One of the standout features of the STR-DH790 was it's compatibility with my 7.1 speaker configuration. Setting up the speakers was a breeze, thanks to the automated speaker setup and the included microphone. The receiver seamlessly integrated with my speakers, ensuring an optimal audio experience.
The eArc HDMI connection proved to be a valuable addition, particularly as I had also replaced my TV due to the lightning strike. With this feature, I was able to control both the TV and receiver using the same remote, simplifying my entertainment setup. The compatibility between the receiver and my new TV worked flawlessly, providing a hassle-free experience.
When it comes to sound quality, the STR-DH790 delivers. The audio output is impressive, although it may be slightly limited in terms of sound effects. However, considering the receiver's budget-friendly nature, I am more than satisfied with the performance it offers. This is my first Dolby Atmos receiver, and I must admit, it has made me a believer in the immersive audio experience it provides.
The only minor drawback I encountered was the receiver's power output. There were instances where I felt the need to increase the volume beyond 50% for certain content. However, I suspect this might be due to a misconfiguration on my part, as the receiver should ideally provide ample power. I will delve further into the settings to ensure optimal performance.
To sum it up, the Sony STR-DH790 AV receiver exceeded my expectations, especially considering its price point. It offers impressive performance, easy setup, seamless integration with other devices, and a captivating audio experience. Despite a minor concern with power output, I highly recommend this receiver to anyone seeking an affordable yet capable solution for their home theater setup. Two thumbs up!

This is used mainly as my PC sound output with my second monitor receiving video. It is going from my GPU to the receiver with an HDMI cable. I thoroughly have been enjoying the sound reproduction. I don't have any problems other than some noise/distortion when running Multi-Stereo, even then it's a minor nuisance depending on what's being listened to. I would have liked the sampling rate to go higher but for the price it's fine at 24 bit 192khz. With Atmos enabled in Windows you don't get a choice of changing the sampling rate anyways.
Originally I wanted a 2 channel receiver but the price I got this for at the time was amazing compared to the 2 channel and other 7.2 units. The Dolby Atmos is wonderful to have, it adds a decent amount of immersion. Thankfully in Windows 10/11 you don't need to purchase anything to have Atmos running but depending on the source it's a bit of a pain to switch back and forth between Atmos and Stereo. Having Atmos, or anything above 2.1, enabled and listening to stereo sources will run only the fronts and sub with no sound to the other speakers, but that's a Windows and the selected media/streaming player problem.
Unfortunately I'm using a bunch of different speakers, Polk Signature S20 fronts, Polk CS10 center, Dayton Audio B452-AIR and some old speakers I've changed the drivers and the crossovers. I still feel as though I can't complain about that with the setup options. It can be adjusted by a menu on screen or from the screen on the receiver with the remote. Remote is simple and has all the necessary functions.
There is no wifi connection, but since I'm using it strictly with my PC it doesn't matter to me. The Bluetooth functions as it should but it's a bit lacking in formats, which doesn't matter to me either.
With a firmware update it does EARC, the update process is fast and easy.
Muy complicado el manual y poca info en internet. Muchas posibles configuraciones y muchas dudas. Hablé a Soporte de Sony, todo bien, dudas despejadas. Calibración número 5!
Resultados:
El sonido es muuuuy bueno, hay que bajarle a los bajos, los exagera... La música se oye bien, quizá le falta un poquito de cuerpo, pero muy bien.
Las películas? Atmos se oye genial! Obvio las Pioneer tienen mucho que ver, pero se oye totalmente diferente que con el Pioneer 821. Y bueno, hay una diferencia notable cuando usas las bocinas para Atmos. John Wick se oye increíble, la escena de inicio de Transformers age of extinction: WOW!
Muy buena compra, Sony ha mejorado mucho estos años. Ah y el precio, menos de 6000! Totalmente recomendable! Ahora solo espero que dure tanto como el anterior que tuve y no falle...
Update. Abril del 2023
Debo decir que sigo muy satisfecho, Sony ha vuelto a ser una marca confiable y de calidad.
Me gusta mucho el sonido que ofrece. Recientemente compré el xbox one series s. Tuve muchos problemas de incompatibilidad, Microsoft me asistió e incluso encontró lo que me temía.
El equipo presenta incompatibilidades con los xbox.
Tiene problemas con mandar los 4k o el HDR incluso habiendo activado el ENHANCED.
No hace el cambio de entrada solo. Igual que en el Wii U.
Cero problemas con un Blu-ray pioneer Elite o con el PS4 slim.
Obvio compré cables hdmi nuevos y ni así.
Es una pena que Sony se maneje así.
El sonido en los juegos es increíble. Especialmente si tienen DTS o ATMOS.
Ahora bien, algo que me gustaría comentar es lo siguiente, aparentemente el consumo del aparato es de 240 watts.
Lo cual se me hace poco. De ser cierto es un gran punto a su favor pues normalmente estos equipos gastan el doble.
Bluetoothがなかなか繋がらないのが残念…
I cant tell you much about the features but I can review it based off of me being a newby. First of this receiver is inexpensive for offering (E)ARC and Dolby Atmos. The receiver came in a well protected box and wire hook up was very straight forward. I purchased two height speakers as my new tv has EARC and being this receiver supports ATMOS I wanted to get the best of it. I turned on the TV and Voila the tv found the receiver and automatically put me on its setup page. After navigating through and finding my speaker setup I ran the auto setup. Instantly it found, tested and properly setup my system automatically (which was a really cool process). It took around 10 minutes to setup (including unboxing) and we have been enjoying 5.1.2 Dolby atmos ever since! Super simple to setup and use with beautiful sound, all for under $500. Im happy. With a sony tv this process was extremely seamless and it has been working fantastic since the moment it was unboxed.
El receptor me tiene muy contento con la calidad de audio y potencia.
Obviando que estos aparatos no son para armar una fiesta, las películas se escuchan excelente en formato 5.2 o 7.2 (Dolby Digital y DTS) asi como en formato 5.1.2 (Atmos y DTS:X) y la musica se escucha muy bien en multicanal, la modalidad "Direct" no me agrado mucho.
La compatibilidad de Play Station 4 Pro es total asi como el Apple TV 4K y los formatos Dolby Vision Y Dolby Atmos.
El HDMI ARC funciona bien, puedes reproducir Dolby Atmos sin problema con la app de Netflix nativa desde la tv.
Los puntos malos son que no ofrece "Zona 2" y los menus en pantalla no son muy intuitivos (para nada intuitivos) y hay que tener un poco de paciencia, ademas de que para apreciar el ".2" hay que tener 2 subwoofer activos.
Por lo demás, vale muy bien su precio y ofrece muy buena calidad.
