Sony STR-DH770 - AV receiver - 7.2 channel - 7 x 140 Watt

Purchased this product about a month ago along with a new TV. Couldn't be happier. Am still tinkering around with setting up a 3-3 surround sound, but the manual is fairly clear on how to do it. Its because my speaker system is a 6 channel set-up with a un-powered woofer.

This receiver is very decent for a price. Warranty is very good 2 years. Has HDMI inputs, sound Bluetooth ready. Built in sounds are OK although receiver lacks of manual settings for EQ and lack of speakers setting for High, Treble, Bass. Amps are very powerful to run surround system of your choice or just to run plain big speakers. For now this product meet all expectations. Will see how reliable it is

Love the sound, but still unable to get the sub woofer to work. The installation book shows there is only one out put to the woofer. The back of my receiver has two outputs. One for left and one for right. I give a top rating if this woofer would work.

Just got this amp fully set up and running as a 5.0 (7.2 capable - so I may add to my system later). Seems to provide plenty of power with some excellent surround fields to choose from. I especially like the blue tooth feature, so I can re-purpose my old cell phone as a handy hand-held album/play list selector for all my music. The HDMI ARC feature allows me to send sound signals back to the amp from my internet connected TV, so I can get home theater sound from internet content without a whole lot of wire re-routing (and switching) back and forth between TV and receiver. And finally, the HDMI pass through feature allows me to watch TV without having to have the amp on with the whole home theater experience. For the price, this is a great practical amp, but you do loose a few features you would get with a higher priced amp -- AM radio, FM HD (still gets regular FM), wifi -- so if you must have those in your AV receiver, you should be prepared to shell out a few hundred dollars more; otherwise, you find this amp performs quite admirably.

I love the sound this system produces, it has clear, house shaking bass with unmuttled mids and widow shattering clean highs. The Arc and HDMI imputs switch without any need to push extra buttons and the auto calibration makes set up easy. The onscreen menu and companion app, however, both sucks. It is Missing half of the features and settings of the amp menu accessible only through the remote amp menu, and to change those settings, you have to use the little LCD screen on the front of the device.
