Great video TD! One thing i don't get is the dislikes. Is this salt coz one person actually takes the time to put some effort behind it to review the stuff he actually likes? Thanks to you i got some awesome sounding speakers/receiver. Your "jump music" always puts a smile on my face. Keep up the good work!
Out of 118.000 views it's not unlikely that most of all the 90 dislikes are accidental ones. It's easy to touch the unlike button when you watch on your phone while also doing other stuff...
Thanks so much for your review. I watched you on your friends video. You helped him set up his Klipsch. I am a huge Klipsch fan and currently own RP 800s, RP502s, the RP center. My subs are polks from before (2 10s) which are over powering in my room. I keep them low and it still floods. I have the Sony and it is my second Sony. I was a Yamaha fan until quality issues soured me. Went pioneer and more issues. The Sonys have been work horses. I bought them because a tech rep at Bestbuy told me it was the receiver he never sees for repairs. I researched it and it is (at the time) the most dependable. I learned a lot from your video and I have owned this 1080 for 2 years. Thanks again!!!
I'm a starter for having Dolby Atmos. This was a big help. I was eyeballing this receiver its a great price, and this video showing how it works and its specific settings really helped!
I have the str dn 1070 and compared to the other receivers from denon and yamaha that i've owned from around the same price point it had a more robust sound and no post processing was needed, I was impressed.
Love your presentation Channa. Super smooth flow. I too like the style of the Sony's UI. Looks much more graphical than my $2600 Onkyo TX-NR5008 receiver. LOL. One thing that frustrates me is they are claiming 165 x 7 for a sub $500 receiver. That just isn't going to happen. It's so misleading, especially to those that don't know.
Thanks man! Yeah, I'm probably going to address the power issue in another video. Most of those power ratings are for 2 channels driven but that's pretty optimistic!! Lol!
Youthman yeah about two years ago when I got into home theater I thought the Sony dn1060 was a bargin being 165 watts with 7 channels driven for only 500 dollars until I did more research and figured out alot of cheap avrs had bogus ratings.
My technical pro receiver claims that it is 1500 watts total. Impossible for a 5 channel receiver that weighs 10LBS and is well under 200.00 from every place bu the Manufacturers website. I looked at receivers with similar hardware sold in foreign countries seems to be 35-80wpc times 2 and 20-50 watts into the other channels. I bet Theyre measuring 7khz tones with the sony, pioneer, Denon,and technical pro recevers... Fishy.
Yeah, I had a Mid-Tier Yamaha RX-V1800 receiver. I believe it was around $1200 new. It sounded great until I went from a 5.1 to a 7.1. Adding the last pair of speakers made the entire system sound anemic. I later discovered that Sound and Vision had bench test results and they said it dropped from 130 wpc to only 55 wpc when 7 speakers were being driven. I guess if manufacturers told the truth they would sell less product.
What is the true wattage per speaker? I'm currently only using a 2.1 set-up, so I don't think I'll run into the issue that you're describing, however, this would definitely hamper my upgrade plans should I choose to go 4.1 or even 7.2!
Liked and subscribed, going through your video history now and learning a lot as I'm new to home cinema! Will you be doing a full review of this Sony AV receiver? I've recently picked one up but confused by all the options and menus. Thanks Channa :)
Ive been telling people how great these receivers are. I got the 770 and love it. Clear audio and superb sound in movies and music. People just love to hate Sony
İyi günler, iki incelemenizi de izledim, emeğiniz için teşekkürler. İngilizce bilmiyorum, Türkiye'den yazıyorum ve izliyorum sizi. Merak ettiğim şey şu, USB modundayken 5.1 DSD(dsf, dff) dosyaları oynatabiliyor mu. Elimde çok sayıda 5.1 dsf müzik dosyası var ancak AV Receiverlerin bir çoğu USB sadece 2.0 dosyaları oynatabiliyor. Bu da ekstra masraf demek çünkü bu 5.1 müzik dosyaları için ayrıca bir DAC ve Amfi almanız gerekiyor. İlginiz için şimdiden teşekkürler, kolay gelsin.
Hi ! This is the receiver I have with the full Sony Core Speaker bundle (LF, C, RF, 2 Atmos, 2 Bookshelf). Also getting a SVS PB2000. I'm debating on returning the Sony, and going with Denon x3600h for extra power and Enhanced IMAC. or should I just keep what I have and buy an amp for addl power? Would like to know your thoughts. Thanks!
Great videos! Looks like a great receiver, especially for those new to the home theater hobby. Great price point, looks like pretty nice build quality also! Plenty of inputs, looks pretty flexible for Atmos/DTS-X speaker placement!
Informative. I have a 5.1 set up but my four speakers are in the ceiling. I only hear the front speaker ceiling speaker, the center speaker but not the surround ceiling speakers. What am I doing wrong? I’m sure it’s quite simple.
Hey Techno Dad, great video! I have a quick question, I just bought the a home theater with the Sony STR-DH790 and I have pre-existing speaker wire for surround in the house I just bought. The wires are not labeled where they all come out of the wall by where the receiver will be installed, my question is how can I test to make sure I hook up my left and right rear surround speakers correctly without getting the speakers crossed? Is there a way I can test sound for just the right and left rear surround speakers from the receiver when hooking everything up? Thanks for any help from anyone!
Hi. I have this receiver. I had sony 4 SS-230, SCN-230, 2 sony floor bi amp speakers and sony SA-W303 subwoofer. I have problems with some SS-230 because sometimes fell to the floor. I change the SS and the subwoofer to Polk Audio TL250 and Polk Audio PSW110 Subwoofer. I dont sense the sound with power. I also change the speakers cables. I think the wire gauge is the problem. Of the speaker wires gauge doesnt matters?
I just bought this reciever. Does it matter which sound field I pick? I mainly use it for watching 4k blu rays. Some choices are Dolby Surround, Nueral:X, A.F.D. I just have no clue which is the best one. I obviously want to be listening to Dolby Atmos or whatever is the best sound.
I just purchased the Sony STR-DN1080 (I watched one of your reviews ) I’m all hooked up but still having trouble calibrating when following the on screen speaker set up using the enclosed wire with a small plastic looks like a wing plug into front of them AV and to be set in room at your ear height I have a cathedral ceiling speakers are received in ceiling front is 9 ft high rear is 12 ft high cannot figure out how to do the on screen calibration. Thankyou Jim M
Great video. I am having a bit of trouble though; I can only get my display to show ‘Dolby TrueHD 7.1’ rather than ‘Dolby Atmos’ when I click the ‘Display Mode’ button on the front. My disc is definitely an Atmos one, but the Atmos speakers are silent. I wonder what I can have missed. Any ideas, please?
Hey Channa, excellent video, can you please do a video on how to get the dolby vision & dolby sound out of a Sony TV ARC setup? If the the TV is Sony X9000E it would be good! thanks Buddy
I got the Sony And i think it sounds amazing on movies and pretty great on music . Sounds alot more expensive than the price suggests . That was coming of a top of the range Denon that finally packed it in .
I was looking at Onkyo TX-NR686 and Sony STR-DN1080.. I own Onkyo before.. but this tike decided go with Sony, since they support 165w x 7 channels, compared to Onkyo 120w x 7 channels. I got Focal Sib Evo 5.1.2 speaker set too.. And it’s a huge upgrade from my previous set. Focal speakers focused to vocals.. played movie other night.. and can tell difference straight away.. Sony receiver’s volume was set to 10 🤭 and got clear sound.. compared to my old set, used to set volume to 30.
Question: I have a Sony STR-DN1080 receiver with 4 in-ceiling speakers, a center channel speaker and a subwoofer. Can I run 2 of the in-ceiling speakers in the Front A channel or should I run them in the Surround channel and the other 2 in the Surround Back/Height channel?
Is it possible to run for example a 4k Blu Ray player to a receiver (which supports Atmos), then out from the receiver to an Atmos-capable Soundbar (I have a Sony HT-ST 5000), while also having speakers connected to the receiver being capable of outputting audio? So for example, the Soundbar is 7.1.2, but this specific soundbar is NOT compatible with rear speakers (the subsequent model the Z95F does support rear speakers from Sony). I would like to get some rear channel audio, as the Atmos effect doesn't really cut the mustard for simulating rear speakers. So, could I use the soundbar for the front/side channels, and connect 2 speakers (or more for that matter) to the receiver? If I did so, would audio be output through the speakers AND the soundbar, or would it just do one or the other? If you don't know, no big deal. :) Thanks for your time, nice video btw.
I saw via the Sony website, to get DTS HD MASTER requires I use the HMDI eARC from my tv, is this correct? eARC is fairly new, so how have people been listening to DTS HD MASTER years ago? Thanks.
Techno Dad, Keep up the good work :) Quick question why is the Calibration Type on this Sony system grayed out? I cant seem click into it on my unit. Thanks.
I’ve got the Sony DH790 with two Polk MXT60 tower speaker one centre Polk XT35 speaker and the HTS12 Polk 400watt sub with two technic speakers for back surround but don’t seem to be getting Atmos ?
I need to upgrade my home cinema mounting two front Dolby Atmos Speakers on the wall (at maximum height level). In this case, shall I still use the AVR set-up at 5.1.2 (FD) OR should I use 5.1.2 FH? I would appreciate very much your kind expertise advice and thank you in advance for your kind help. Regards,
Great video, helped me out a lot..I ended up purchasing this avr and am pretty happy with it.. however, I can't find a way to connect a second sub . Am I missing something or does this avr not have the capability to do so?
Hi there, great video! Thanks. I own this receiver and i was wondering how it would sound with the Bose Accoustimass speakers! Pls do let me know. Thanks
I have the Sony STR-DH790 but it apparently has the same interface. Can you eq each pair of speakers? For instance I have a pair of Micca RB-42x speakers that I’m going to use as my front speakers but I’d like to eq them separately from the rest (Klipsch Reference Theater 5.1).
What are the correct banana plugs to use for this? I bought some that seem way to large and there is no info in the manual about recommended banana plugs.
Hi Channa, If you are to recommend, between the Onkyo TX-NR676 and the Sony STR-DN1080, which one will please me more, talking of sound quality (sorround quality), durability and picture quality. Please help as fast as possible with the answer as am presently confuse, don't know which one to go for. Thanks
I have this amp and I'm running 4 towers, 2 shelf speakers, 2 12inch subwoofers. I'm going to go with the 6.1 setup where would the best spots be for my tower speakers? Should all 4 be center and front or should I have 2 on the very back of the room and 2 in the very front? Sony 1155W 7.2-Ch. with Dolby Atmos 4K Ultra HD HDR Compatible A/V Home Theater Receiver 2 Klipsch Reference Series 12" 400W Powered Subwoofer 4 Klipsch Reference Series Dual 8" 600-Watt Passive 2-Way Floor Speaker Klipsch Reference Series 5-1/4" 340-Watt Passive 2-Way Bookshelf Speakers (Pair)
Hello, I don't know if I have an older model of the STR-DN1080, but I cannot for the life of me get the words, DOLBY ATMOS, or DTS X to come up on the display. Can you help? And what exactly did you use for the "Dolby Atmos" Demo disk? I am using a Sony UDP-X800 4K Blu-ray player and other streaming services that output Dolby Atmos, but while I am playing them, I cannot go past Dolby Digital on the display of the receiver. Thank you for your time.
Hey TD. So ? about setup on my Sony Atmos receiver. I have it connected to Zappiti player and recently after over 8 months of no issues, my receiver will not play any Atmos/DTS or multi channel sources from it... Display only shows like 2 channel sources L & R with no additional speakers lit up... Like i said this has been working for months and just recently it stopped... I thought maybe i had to hit Pure Direct button but this does not work. When i try to play Atmos containing sound from Zappiti the Display on receiver correctly shows the source audio as Atmos 7.1/ 5.1 etc but then no sound. However if i go on Zappiti and play a TV show with 2 Channel sound it plays fine.. so it is just issue with these advance settings... Wondering if my receiver is defective or if i just need to reset to factory presets and start over? or try to recalibrate it using your settings above.. My Sony is STR-ZA5000ES so 9.1 Atmos Receiver... Any thoughts would be greatly helpful.. Also, would trying to reach out to Sony Support (not sure the phone number or live chat info) be helpful? Cost me around 2K for this and hope it is not defective in less than 2 years use? thanks in advance Neil
your videos are super cool... Asking the same doubts again I recently upgraded to sony-str-dn1070 7.2 AV Receiver(for room size LWH 24*12*10 ft)it produces 165W per channel, \i\m confused in choosing the suitable subs and surround speakers 1)already have 150W active Sub Pioneer S-31 W. Receiver produces 165W & Sub power is 150W RMS does it affect this Sub? 2)Can I hook 1 or 2 passive sub woofer( or car sub JBL Stage 1010) directly to my receiver? reason active subs are costly 3)have surround speakers Pioneer S-11 package(Max input power is 150W) can I use it? 4)suggest some surround speakers, look wise I like compact speakers but I need better audio quality. 5)small or big speakers which is better for my room? 6)why ATMOS speakers are costly ? its just tilted or it has an engine inside the speaker box? :) I dont want loud sound, need deep bass and crystal clear audio. Mostly watching movies & Music
I saw that in 2018 you have one of the 2016 LG 4K UHD Multi-HDR with HDR10 & Dolby Vision Smart Big Screen OLED Television Series that all do not have Dolby Atmos support: LG OLEDE6 4K UHD Multi-HDR with HDR10 & Dolby Vision Smart Big Screen OLED Television connected and paired to a Sony 7-Channel DN1080 Dolby Atmos/DTSX Audio Video Receiver wired to a 5.1.2 Channel Dolby Atmos DTSX Premium Home Theater Surround Sound Loudspeaker System with a 4K UHD HDR BluRay Player with Dolby Vision Dolby Atmos and DTSX connected to the receiver and despite the LG OLED E6 TV not outputting and supporting Dolby Atmos you got Dolby Atmos to work flawlessly to the 4K HDR/Dolby Vision BluRay Player with Dolby Atmos/DTSX connected to the Sony Dolby Atmos Receiver in order for the input signal to say Dolby Atmos I have the same too LG 2016 OLED B6 4K UHD HDR Dolby Vision Smart TV paired with a Denon AVRS970H 7 Channel Dolby Atmos and DTSX Premium Home Theater Surround Audio Video Receiver wired to a Klipsch 5.1.2 channel Dolby Atmos/DTSX Premium Home Theater Surround Sound System with the Apple TV 4K UHD HDR Dolby Vision Smart Streaming Media Player with Dolby Atmos connected to the receiver and even though my tv does not have Dolby Atmos I got Dolby Atmos films documentaries tv shows music and other Dolby Atmos content to work very flawlessly from the Apple TV 4K HDR Player to the Receiver in order for the input signal to say Dolby Atmos
I know this is an old video. But i can see you are using speaker cables i stead of the wire. I have been trying to figure out which connection type they are. Are they banana or pin? I have the sony str-dn1080 and I am tyred of having to use and connect the strippede wired everytime.
You didn't mentioned, that Dolby Atmos is only avaliable via eARC if the Sound Field set to "Dolby Surround" at MOVIE sound field or "A.F.D." or "Multi Ch Setreo" at 2CH/MULTI sound field. In any other cases it decode the multi chanel to Dolby Digital + or Dolby Digital (depending on a Sony Bravia settings to eARC).
Hey Techno Dad, I recently picked this receiver up based on your review. What connection do you plug in the Dolby atmos speakers to? I have a 7.1 set up
Cool. I have been planning on buying this receiver. looks pretty nice for the price. Can you switch the sub to the right side of the room instead of the left?I I don't know a lot about home audio I'm just in the process of upgrading my 8 year old LG HTIB to a Dolby Atmos set up. I don't have room on the left side of my room for the sub, only for my left tower so I'd have to put it on the right.
Did you turn on or off the neural x sound option? it seems like a good idea from what i read in other posts, but does the upmixing interfere with atmos or dts x decodings?
Hey, first you set 5.1.2. speaker pattern, then later on changed it to 7.1, so what is the catch? what exact pattern you need for atmos.? thanks in advance.
I just purchased mines now and waiting to recieve my reciever and speakers. Now my question is, can I add two more ceiling speakers to the two I already got?
I was wondering if you can hook up a projector to HDMI out B on the back of the receiver while using HDMI out a with Arc with a regular TV to have both ideas projector on HDMI B out and have regular TV hooked up to the HDMI out a with Arc?
Hey there. I am Kingshuk from Bangladesh. I had Sony Muteki 7.2 which was played by Sony STR K7SW. But the AV receiver had some issues and I can’t play. Can you suggest me the the best match AV receiver for that system? Thank you.
thanks at all. i have a question about connection Apple TV 4K. i connected it "VİDEO 1" input and i connected my tv "ARC" output. but i still not see ATMOS writing on display. is that wright what i do? or should i do some settings? not: i dont have atmos speaker yet. i use 5.1 speaker. is ATMOS also best decoding for 5.1 from dolby surround?
Hi, new subscriber here. I am on my second Sony DN-10xx receiver now and I am happy with it, even if I lack the latest formats. Henca I wonder how large the actual difference to the mid level avr's are? E.g. Marantz 7012 or LX901? Can anyone tell? Have a 7.2 set up with two monitor audio silver 8.
Hello, how are you, I have sony receiver str-dh790, you can make a video showing how to configure the dolby atmos 5.1.2, to see if I have it correctly, thank you very much.
When it comes to the atmos do you have to have atmos modules or can you have regular surrounds as your height. Because when it reads Dolby digital plus encoding on the media but it doesn't display Dolby Atmos and I have it properly set to 5.1.2 front heights
Thanks for the info!! I was trying to do it with the on screen settings, when I did what u said using the home setup it works great. Dolby Atmos 5.1.2!!
Very informative..question.I have a kinda newer Sony x900f tv. It Says on the back that only hdmi 2-3 Are 2.2 supported..So I guess my question is, if I have something in one and four will that hurt my Dolby Vision or HDR 10? Or The difference please!Thanks for all your videos, really helps out..thanks,joe
Hi! If you were to get an AVR you would only use one HDMI input. So you’re good to go there. If that’s not the case, I would put your highest priority 4K HDR devices on HDMI inputs 2 and 3. 4K HDR will work on inputs 1 and 4 but it won’t be as good as on the other two. Hope that helps!
Sweet..I am in the market for a new avr..and your videos really helps,and makes it much easier to choose the right one. Thanks again! Ps..must of watched 10 different ones today on what to look for..peace!..I have 5.1 with small Polk Satellite speakers..My old Pioneer receiver doesn’t have a arc HDMI..
Jacob Gil Yes DV pass through works as of firmware M41.R.0374. note that the receiver needs HDR turned on, on a per HDMI basis. I struggled with that on first setup before I realized.
Hi I ask you, is the low pass fiter of the subwoffer activated? , I have sony 10 "amplified and that you recommend me to put all the speakers in small or large, they are all tower type. Other asks the Dual mono in which position do I put it in SUB, SUB MAIN or MAIN?
What would be a better speaker set up for a 11x13 room with atmos? Klipsch 5.1 reference home theater in box or Polk T15(4), T30? Either choice will have a 8” sub.. any help would be appreciated as I am on the fence with choosing one, I have 2 weeks before I have to have for install into our new house?
Hey channa D, nice video.like to ask a question, u said AVR is sent by Sony for review, so how will you review it.... biased or unbiased...will u mention the AVRs Cons.just asking😃😜
Heads up to OLED owners interested in this STR-DN1080 it doesn't go in screen saver or dim mode on my B7 when left alone for long periods. Love the receiver but a little worried about burn in potential when using it to cast music.
Aaron w i have that receiver hooked on my B7 as well. Like you I'm always worried about burn in, my solution is just to turn the screen saver (screen off) from the tv when i cast music. Problem solved
Francois-Xavier Nhieu that only works well if you don't use CEC. When I turn off my tv it turns off the receiver. I can cast to the receiver when everything is off and the tv won't turn on but it's inconvenient and I just wish it supported dim or screen saver.
Aloha cool video describes my new receivers features how to perfectly. but My-Problem is the space receiver against wall on a shelf. adjusting cables against wall awkward tips? Mahalos
How is ur experience with Sony Phantom surround? . I do not feel the difference with phantom back may be because of my Bose accoustimass 5.1 and elac debut atmos speakers. I have this reciever and I just love how this sounds.
Question I have the Sony 1080 & Sony 4k player Ed Ubp-x1100es. Can I connect the audiosource amp310 to the 4k player? In the audio red & white or coaxial cable
I still cant get the tv to pass through audio via eArc? I have to use the optical. Every other component passes and the atmos is fantastic. The tv is a Sony XBR- 65X930E. I dont understant why its doing this?
Hi, great video. I have a few different surround set ups but mainly use a sony are dh820 I have the speakers set the 5.2.2high. My high speakers are about a foot from the ceiling and pointing down at my head, is this the right position , or should I straighten them out more so they are pointing above my head?? Can't find anything clear on this . Thanks
Hi, great question! So it sounds like they are positioned at an angle, is this correct? If so, you should be fine as Dolby recommends a 30 degree angle toward your MLP.
Techno Dad! Will you do a 30-day or extended use review after using this for a while? I'm working on updating my A/V receiver when I upgrade our TV from an LED 1080p 240hz to a 4K Oled. Curious how much you like this after some use. :)
Hi I have question on the website Sony never mentions front height as the way to setup atmos. Which is how I have my speakers. It only mentions top middle or front dobly up firing speakers. So am I not getting atmos play back by setting my speakers to front height ?
Hi, I am from the UK and I want to bi-wire my speakers ( B&W 603s in to the Sony 1080. Can you be of help and tell me where the cables go in to the back of the 1080 for Bi- wireing? Thank you
Ok sorry I'm so new to this. I'm frustrated with the limited info on Wireless speakers ( can't see anything on this) . If I buy this, can I get wireless speakers to connect in zones that aren't wire friendly? Like rear or ceiling? or must all speakers connect vis wire? Thanks
What kind of speakers do i need. What watt should they be and the subwoofer aswell. I want to have all the surround sound speakers I can and a subwoofer that will beet hard and loud. I overall want a great movie surround sound, while being able to listen to music with a lot of bass.
Is it normal for the price to go up by $100 a year later? Unless I'm looking at something wrong, it seems this $500 receiver is now $600. Did something else change (e.g. improved product) or was it just the price?
I have recently bought this amp and have configured as advised, but I do not get anything other than multi channel stereo, certainly not Atmos or anything else. I do have the speakers connected correctly, and do have the 5.1.2 selected. Is there anything else I should check? Thanks
How does the sound/volume compare to the Denon?I know they are in different levels of the line.I have the Denon 1300,and from the box it doesn't seem to have any bass.And I have to turn up the volume almost to max to get a decent sound level,not high,just decent to listen to a movie.
That should be something to find out. This has 2 HDMI outs so it should be able to. A friend of mine did some digging after I watched this video and there is evidence to support being able to. Here is a link that talks about it. helpguide.sony.net/ha/strdn108/v1/en/contents/TP0001224849.html. I would just like to know for sure and if so, how.
Hi guys newbie here Iv brought this receiver along with a 5.1 Monitor Audio Bronze set up and two Monitor Audio 265 IDC ceiling speakers However on the back of the Sony it looks like there are two out outs for a subwoofer so can I run two subs with this receiver ? Thanks guys Mark
Great review. much appreciated. i was wondering if you could help me. i have this receiver connected to an LG TV and was hoping you could explain to me how i can turn on the TV and have the receiver go straight to my cable channel. At this point it goes to the cable in sound only whilst the TV displays the initial start for the receiver ie. the watch, listen, setup screen. Was hoping you could help. Cheers
Nice vid. I have found with my receiver, that if you have no input connected to HDMI, and are using the HDMI connected to your TV for just the menus and audio return channel, I get HDCP problems and it blanks the screen. Plugging in ANY source removes the problem. Sony tech support was no help. The told me to do a "factory reset"....which was silly. I hope this saves someone some headache.
Hi I had 5.1pioneer reciver recently purchased Sony STR-DN1070 7.2 AV reciver. I need to upgrade the speakers. 1)I already have a active sub woofer(pioneer s-31w 150rms) but on my new receiver its mentioned 165W per channel does it affect my sub? 2)Need to add one more sub, can I directly connect a passive sub woofer(250rms or a car sub woofer without amp) into it? if not why? and can you suggest me some subs suitable for my receiver 3)I had pioneer s-11 6ohm 150w surround speakers have 3"driver can I use the same?and I like bose jewell double cube but its costly compared to others. Could you suggest some speakers.
Great video TD! One thing i don't get is the dislikes. Is this salt coz one person actually takes the time to put some effort behind it to review the stuff he actually likes?
Thanks to you i got some awesome sounding speakers/receiver. Your "jump music" always puts a smile on my face. Keep up the good work!
Captain Howdy they could be disliking the video because they don’t like the receiver. No need to start drama
Out of 118.000 views it's not unlikely that most of all the 90 dislikes are accidental ones. It's easy to touch the unlike button when you watch on your phone while also doing other stuff...
Thanks so much for your review. I watched you on your friends video. You helped him set up his Klipsch. I am a huge Klipsch fan and currently own RP 800s, RP502s, the RP center. My subs are polks from before (2 10s) which are over powering in my room. I keep them low and it still floods. I have the Sony and it is my second Sony. I was a Yamaha fan until quality issues soured me. Went pioneer and more issues. The Sonys have been work horses. I bought them because a tech rep at Bestbuy told me it was the receiver he never sees for repairs. I researched it and it is (at the time) the most dependable. I learned a lot from your video and I have owned this 1080 for 2 years. Thanks again!!!
I'm a starter for having Dolby Atmos. This was a big help. I was eyeballing this receiver its a great price, and this video showing how it works and its specific settings really helped!
I have the str dn 1070 and compared to the other receivers from denon and yamaha that i've owned from around the same price point it had a more robust sound and no post processing was needed, I was impressed.
Hi Channa - We are awaiting for your complete review and Q & A on this receiver. Thank you for the valuable info you are providing.
Love your presentation Channa. Super smooth flow. I too like the style of the Sony's UI. Looks much more graphical than my $2600 Onkyo TX-NR5008 receiver. LOL. One thing that frustrates me is they are claiming 165 x 7 for a sub $500 receiver. That just isn't going to happen. It's so misleading, especially to those that don't know.
Thanks man! Yeah, I'm probably going to address the power issue in another video. Most of those power ratings are for 2 channels driven but that's pretty optimistic!! Lol!
Youthman yeah about two years ago when I got into home theater I thought the Sony dn1060 was a bargin being 165 watts with 7 channels driven for only 500 dollars until I did more research and figured out alot of cheap avrs had bogus ratings.
My technical pro receiver claims that it is 1500 watts total. Impossible for a 5 channel receiver that weighs 10LBS and is well under 200.00 from every place bu the Manufacturers website. I looked at receivers with similar hardware sold in foreign countries seems to be 35-80wpc times 2 and 20-50 watts into the other channels.
I bet Theyre measuring 7khz tones with the sony, pioneer, Denon,and technical pro recevers... Fishy.
Yeah, I had a Mid-Tier Yamaha RX-V1800 receiver. I believe it was around $1200 new. It sounded great until I went from a 5.1 to a 7.1. Adding the last pair of speakers made the entire system sound anemic. I later discovered that Sound and Vision had bench test results and they said it dropped from 130 wpc to only 55 wpc when 7 speakers were being driven. I guess if manufacturers told the truth they would sell less product.
What is the true wattage per speaker? I'm currently only using a 2.1 set-up, so I don't think I'll run into the issue that you're describing, however, this would definitely hamper my upgrade plans should I choose to go 4.1 or even 7.2!
Liked and subscribed, going through your video history now and learning a lot as I'm new to home cinema! Will you be doing a full review of this Sony AV receiver? I've recently picked one up but confused by all the options and menus. Thanks Channa :)
Ive been telling people how great these receivers are. I got the 770 and love it. Clear audio and superb sound in movies and music. People just love to hate Sony
Yeah they do!
İyi günler, iki incelemenizi de izledim, emeğiniz için teşekkürler. İngilizce bilmiyorum, Türkiye'den yazıyorum ve izliyorum sizi. Merak ettiğim şey şu, USB modundayken 5.1 DSD(dsf, dff) dosyaları oynatabiliyor mu. Elimde çok sayıda 5.1 dsf müzik dosyası var ancak AV Receiverlerin bir çoğu USB sadece 2.0 dosyaları oynatabiliyor. Bu da ekstra masraf demek çünkü bu 5.1 müzik dosyaları için ayrıca bir DAC ve Amfi almanız gerekiyor. İlginiz için şimdiden teşekkürler, kolay gelsin.
Hi ! This is the receiver I have with the full Sony Core Speaker bundle (LF, C, RF, 2 Atmos, 2 Bookshelf). Also getting a SVS PB2000. I'm debating on returning the Sony, and going with Denon x3600h for extra power and Enhanced IMAC. or should I just keep what I have and buy an amp for addl power? Would like to know your thoughts. Thanks!
Great videos! Looks like a great receiver, especially for those new to the home theater hobby. Great price point, looks like pretty nice build quality also! Plenty of inputs, looks pretty flexible for Atmos/DTS-X speaker placement!
Thanks man! I think it's pretty nice! I'm really liking the UI. Going to dive deeper into it this coming month.
great explanation of every button on the front and every connection at the back ! excellent presentation
Thank you!!
Informative. I have a 5.1 set up but my four speakers are in the ceiling. I only hear the front speaker ceiling speaker, the center speaker but not the surround ceiling speakers. What am I doing wrong? I’m sure it’s quite simple.
Good views TD: but not full setup plz full setup Sony strdn1080 av receiver plz TD:
Hey Techno Dad, great video! I have a quick question, I just bought the a home theater with the Sony STR-DH790 and I have pre-existing speaker wire for surround in the house I just bought. The wires are not labeled where they all come out of the wall by where the receiver will be installed, my question is how can I test to make sure I hook up my left and right rear surround speakers correctly without getting the speakers crossed? Is there a way I can test sound for just the right and left rear surround speakers from the receiver when hooking everything up? Thanks for any help from anyone!
Thanks for the explanation. What about fd and double woofer setup?
I have the Sony STR-DN1080 ATMOS to also the onkyo TX-NR676 I'm spoiled the Sony soundstage is incredible.
Hi. I have this receiver. I had sony 4 SS-230, SCN-230, 2 sony floor bi amp speakers and sony SA-W303 subwoofer. I have problems with some SS-230 because sometimes fell to the floor. I change the SS and the subwoofer to Polk Audio TL250 and Polk Audio PSW110 Subwoofer. I dont sense the sound with power. I also change the speakers cables. I think the wire gauge is the problem. Of the speaker wires gauge doesnt matters?
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you (FD) is all I needed to make it work.
I own this receiver, i have it paired with 7.2 klipech . i love the way it sounds.
Hi. Do you have e a video to setup to Dolby atmos for Sony receiver str-dh 790??
I just bought this reciever. Does it matter which sound field I pick? I mainly use it for watching 4k blu rays. Some choices are Dolby Surround, Nueral:X, A.F.D. I just have no clue which is the best one. I obviously want to be listening to Dolby Atmos or whatever is the best sound.
I just purchased the Sony STR-DN1080 (I watched one of your reviews ) I’m all hooked up but still having trouble calibrating when following the on screen speaker set up using the enclosed wire with a small plastic looks like a wing plug into front of them AV and to be set in room at your ear height I have a cathedral ceiling speakers are received in ceiling front is 9 ft high rear is 12 ft high cannot figure out how to do the on screen calibration. Thankyou Jim M
Great video. I am having a bit of trouble though; I can only get my display to show ‘Dolby TrueHD 7.1’ rather than ‘Dolby Atmos’ when I click the ‘Display Mode’ button on the front. My disc is definitely an Atmos one, but the Atmos speakers are silent. I wonder what I can have missed. Any ideas, please?
It seems like I had the wrong setting in ‘sound field’ and changed it to ‘Direct’ and have my Atmos disc working properly (phew!)
Hey Channa, excellent video, can you please do a video on how to get the dolby vision & dolby sound out of a Sony TV ARC setup? If the the TV is Sony X9000E it would be good! thanks Buddy
What would you recommend between the Sony STRDN1080 and the Onkyo TX-NR676? And which one made your system sound better?
I got the Sony And i think it sounds amazing on movies and pretty great on music . Sounds alot more expensive than the price suggests . That was coming of a top of the range Denon that finally packed it in .
I was looking at Onkyo TX-NR686 and Sony STR-DN1080.. I own Onkyo before.. but this tike decided go with Sony, since they support 165w x 7 channels, compared to Onkyo 120w x 7 channels. I got Focal Sib Evo 5.1.2 speaker set too.. And it’s a huge upgrade from my previous set. Focal speakers focused to vocals.. played movie other night.. and can tell difference straight away.. Sony receiver’s volume was set to 10 🤭 and got clear sound.. compared to my old set, used to set volume to 30.
Would you go with the sony or this yamaha rxv585?? If they are same price
Question: I have a Sony STR-DN1080 receiver with 4 in-ceiling speakers, a center channel speaker and a subwoofer. Can I run 2 of the in-ceiling speakers in the Front A channel or should I run them in the Surround channel and the other 2 in the Surround Back/Height channel?
Is it possible to run for example a 4k Blu Ray player to a receiver (which supports Atmos), then out from the receiver to an Atmos-capable Soundbar (I have a Sony HT-ST 5000), while also having speakers connected to the receiver being capable of outputting audio? So for example, the Soundbar is 7.1.2, but this specific soundbar is NOT compatible with rear speakers (the subsequent model the Z95F does support rear speakers from Sony). I would like to get some rear channel audio, as the Atmos effect doesn't really cut the mustard for simulating rear speakers.
So, could I use the soundbar for the front/side channels, and connect 2 speakers (or more for that matter) to the receiver? If I did so, would audio be output through the speakers AND the soundbar, or would it just do one or the other?
If you don't know, no big deal. :) Thanks for your time, nice video btw.
I saw via the Sony website, to get DTS HD MASTER requires I use the HMDI eARC from my tv, is this correct? eARC is fairly new, so how have people been listening to DTS HD MASTER years ago? Thanks.
That's strange. I would imagine you would get DTS MA from a 4K disc as well.
Techno Dad, Keep up the good work :) Quick question why is the Calibration Type on this Sony system grayed out? I cant seem click into it on my unit. Thanks.
I’ve got the Sony DH790 with two Polk MXT60 tower speaker one centre Polk XT35 speaker and the HTS12 Polk 400watt sub with two technic speakers for back surround but don’t seem to be getting Atmos ?
I need to upgrade my home cinema mounting two front Dolby Atmos Speakers on the wall (at maximum height level). In this case, shall I still use the AVR set-up at 5.1.2 (FD) OR should I use 5.1.2 FH? I would appreciate very much your kind expertise advice and thank you in advance for your kind help. Regards,
Great video, helped me out a lot..I ended up purchasing this avr and am pretty happy with it.. however, I can't find a way to connect a second sub . Am I missing something or does this avr not have the capability to do so?
You can connect two subs if you buy an rca 2 female ends 1 male adapter. You would then connect both subs like that.
Hi there, great video! Thanks. I own this receiver and i was wondering how it would sound with the Bose Accoustimass speakers! Pls do let me know. Thanks
Hi! They should work just fine
I have the Sony STR-DH790 but it apparently has the same interface. Can you eq each pair of speakers? For instance I have a pair of Micca RB-42x speakers that I’m going to use as my front speakers but I’d like to eq them separately from the rest (Klipsch Reference Theater 5.1).
What are the correct banana plugs to use for this? I bought some that seem way to large and there is no info in the manual about recommended banana plugs.
Hi Channa, If you are to recommend, between the Onkyo TX-NR676 and the Sony STR-DN1080, which one will please me more, talking of sound quality (sorround quality), durability and picture quality.
Please help as fast as possible with the answer as am presently confuse, don't know which one to go for. Thanks
I have this amp and I'm running 4 towers, 2 shelf speakers, 2 12inch subwoofers. I'm going to go with the 6.1 setup where would the best spots be for my tower speakers? Should all 4 be center and front or should I have 2 on the very back of the room and 2 in the very front?

Hello, I don't know if I have an older model of the STR-DN1080, but I cannot for the life of me get the words, DOLBY ATMOS, or DTS X to come up on the display. Can you help?
And what exactly did you use for the "Dolby Atmos" Demo disk?
I am using a Sony UDP-X800 4K Blu-ray player and other streaming services that output Dolby Atmos, but while I am playing them, I cannot go past Dolby Digital on the display of the receiver.
Thank you for your time.
Hey TD. So ? about setup on my Sony Atmos receiver. I have it connected to Zappiti player and recently after over 8 months of no issues, my receiver will not play any Atmos/DTS or multi channel sources from it... Display only shows like 2 channel sources L & R with no additional speakers lit up... Like i said this has been working for months and just recently it stopped... I thought maybe i had to hit Pure Direct button but this does not work. When i try to play Atmos containing sound from Zappiti the Display on receiver correctly shows the source audio as Atmos 7.1/ 5.1 etc but then no sound. However if i go on Zappiti and play a TV show with 2 Channel sound it plays fine.. so it is just issue with these advance settings... Wondering if my receiver is defective or if i just need to reset to factory presets and start over? or try to recalibrate it using your settings above.. My Sony is STR-ZA5000ES so 9.1 Atmos Receiver... Any thoughts would be greatly helpful.. Also, would trying to reach out to Sony Support (not sure the phone number or live chat info) be helpful? Cost me around 2K for this and hope it is not defective in less than 2 years use? thanks in advance Neil
your videos are super cool...
Asking the same doubts again
I recently upgraded to sony-str-dn1070 7.2 AV Receiver(for room size LWH 24*12*10 ft)it produces 165W per channel, \i\m confused in choosing the suitable subs and surround speakers
1)already have 150W active Sub Pioneer S-31 W. Receiver produces 165W & Sub power is 150W RMS does it affect this Sub?
2)Can I hook 1 or 2 passive sub woofer( or car sub JBL Stage 1010) directly to my receiver? reason active subs are costly
3)have surround speakers Pioneer S-11 package(Max input power is 150W) can I use it?
4)suggest some surround speakers, look wise I like compact speakers but I need better audio quality.
5)small or big speakers which is better for my room?
6)why ATMOS speakers are costly ? its just tilted or it has an engine inside the speaker box? :)
I dont want loud sound, need deep bass and crystal clear audio. Mostly watching movies & Music
I was not sure if you have a video like this for Sony DH 790
I saw that in 2018 you have one of the 2016 LG 4K UHD Multi-HDR with HDR10 & Dolby Vision Smart Big Screen OLED Television Series that all do not have Dolby Atmos support: LG OLEDE6 4K UHD Multi-HDR with HDR10 & Dolby Vision Smart Big Screen OLED Television connected and paired to a Sony 7-Channel DN1080 Dolby Atmos/DTSX Audio Video Receiver wired to a 5.1.2 Channel Dolby Atmos DTSX Premium Home Theater Surround Sound Loudspeaker System with a 4K UHD HDR BluRay Player with Dolby Vision Dolby Atmos and DTSX connected to the receiver and despite the LG OLED E6 TV not outputting and supporting Dolby Atmos you got Dolby Atmos to work flawlessly to the 4K HDR/Dolby Vision BluRay Player with Dolby Atmos/DTSX connected to the Sony Dolby Atmos Receiver in order for the input signal to say Dolby Atmos I have the same too LG 2016 OLED B6 4K UHD HDR Dolby Vision Smart TV paired with a Denon AVRS970H 7 Channel Dolby Atmos and DTSX Premium Home Theater Surround Audio Video Receiver wired to a Klipsch 5.1.2 channel Dolby Atmos/DTSX Premium Home Theater Surround Sound System with the Apple TV 4K UHD HDR Dolby Vision Smart Streaming Media Player with Dolby Atmos connected to the receiver and even though my tv does not have Dolby Atmos I got Dolby Atmos films documentaries tv shows music and other Dolby Atmos content to work very flawlessly from the Apple TV 4K HDR Player to the Receiver in order for the input signal to say Dolby Atmos
I know this is an old video. But i can see you are using speaker cables i stead of the wire. I have been trying to figure out which connection type they are. Are they banana or pin?
I have the sony str-dn1080 and I am tyred of having to use and connect the strippede wired everytime.
You didn't mentioned, that Dolby Atmos is only avaliable via eARC if the Sound Field set to "Dolby Surround" at MOVIE sound field or "A.F.D." or "Multi Ch Setreo" at 2CH/MULTI sound field. In any other cases it decode the multi chanel to Dolby Digital + or Dolby Digital (depending on a Sony Bravia settings to eARC).
Whoops! You're totally right!
can it handle all those channels at reference audio level? Any over heating problems or auto shut offs? Cheers TD
Hey Techno Dad, I recently picked this receiver up based on your review. What connection do you plug in the Dolby atmos speakers to? I have a 7.1 set up
The Atmos speakers need to get plugged into the height output
Cool. I have been planning on buying this receiver. looks pretty nice for the price. Can you switch the sub to the right side of the room instead of the left?I I don't know a lot about home audio I'm just in the process of upgrading my 8 year old LG HTIB to a Dolby Atmos set up. I don't have room on the left side of my room for the sub, only for my left tower so I'd have to put it on the right.
Hi! You can put the sub on either side of the room, it'll be just fine.
Do I need to hook up to tv to setup 1st time? Only want for outdoors. We have place for receiver for patio
Did you turn on or off the neural x sound option? it seems like a good idea from what i read in other posts, but does the upmixing interfere with atmos or dts x decodings?
I've had it for almost a year now and remained impressed.
Awesome! Thank you for sharing your experience!
Hey, first you set 5.1.2. speaker pattern, then later on changed it to 7.1, so what is the catch? what exact pattern you need for atmos.? thanks in advance.
I just purchased mines now and waiting to recieve my reciever and speakers. Now my question is, can I add two more ceiling speakers to the two I already got?
Which budget av receiver would recommend, rx385 or strdh790? Would appreciate your opinion if there is something else
I was wondering if you can hook up a projector to HDMI out B on the back of the receiver while using HDMI out a with Arc with a regular TV to have both ideas projector on HDMI B out and have regular TV hooked up to the HDMI out a with Arc?
Hey there. I am Kingshuk from Bangladesh. I had Sony Muteki 7.2 which was played by Sony STR K7SW. But the AV receiver had some issues and I can’t play. Can you suggest me the the best match AV receiver for that system? Thank you.
thanks at all. i have a question about connection Apple TV 4K. i connected it "VİDEO 1" input and i connected my tv "ARC" output. but i still not see ATMOS writing on display. is that wright what i do? or should i do some settings?
not: i dont have atmos speaker yet. i use 5.1 speaker. is ATMOS also best decoding for 5.1 from dolby surround?
Can ferrule connectors be used for speakers as opposed to bare wiring?
Hi, new subscriber here. I am on my second Sony DN-10xx receiver now and I am happy with it, even if I lack the latest formats.
Henca I wonder how large the actual difference to the mid level avr's are? E.g. Marantz 7012 or LX901? Can anyone tell? Have a 7.2 set up with two monitor audio silver 8.
Hello, how are you, I have sony receiver str-dh790, you can make a video showing how to configure the dolby atmos 5.1.2, to see if I have it correctly, thank you very much.
I Have just purchased a SONY STR-DN1080 AV receiver.
My question is....Do I connect my NVR home security cameras to it as well?
I have no idea. Would you normally connect that to your TV? I mean, is there any audio coming through the cameras?
When it comes to the atmos do you have to have atmos modules or can you have regular surrounds as your height. Because when it reads Dolby digital plus encoding on the media but it doesn't display Dolby Atmos and I have it properly set to 5.1.2 front heights
Thanks for the info!! I was trying to do it with the on screen settings, when I did what u said using the home setup it works great. Dolby Atmos 5.1.2!!
Very informative..question.I have a kinda newer Sony x900f tv. It Says on the back that only hdmi 2-3 Are 2.2 supported..So I guess my question is, if I have something in one and four will that hurt my Dolby Vision or HDR 10? Or The difference please!Thanks for all your videos, really helps out..thanks,joe
Hi! If you were to get an AVR you would only use one HDMI input. So you’re good to go there. If that’s not the case, I would put your highest priority 4K HDR devices on HDMI inputs 2 and 3. 4K HDR will work on inputs 1 and 4 but it won’t be as good as on the other two. Hope that helps!
Sweet..I am in the market for a new avr..and your videos really helps,and makes it much easier to choose the right one. Thanks again! Ps..must of watched 10 different ones today on what to look for..peace!..I have 5.1 with small Polk Satellite speakers..My old Pioneer receiver doesn’t have a arc HDMI..
Great video! I just have one question does it pass through Dolby vision? Maybe with an update?
Jacob Gil Yes DV pass through works as of firmware M41.R.0374. note that the receiver needs HDR turned on, on a per HDMI basis. I struggled with that on first setup before I realized.
Hello, you talk about a Dolby Atmos demo disk in your interesting presentation; is this disk included in the str-dn1080 box?
Hi! No, it doesn't come with an AVR. Email me: technodad55 at gmail
Hi techno dad it's great to hear your impressions on this avr and I look forward to seeing the review video soon.
Hi I ask you, is the low pass fiter of the subwoffer activated? , I have sony 10 "amplified and that you recommend me to put all the speakers in small or large, they are all tower type. Other asks the Dual mono in which position do I put it in SUB, SUB MAIN or MAIN?
I was wondering if Sony products ever go on sale?
What would be a better speaker set up for a 11x13 room with atmos? Klipsch 5.1 reference home theater in box or Polk T15(4), T30? Either choice will have a 8” sub.. any help would be appreciated as I am on the fence with choosing one, I have 2 weeks before I have to have for install into our new house?
Do you mean the Klipsch 5.1 Theater Pack? If so, I would get two of those and a 9 channel AVR and run 5.2.4 Atmos setup.
@@TechnoDad 8 satellite speakers?
Hey channa D, nice video.like to ask a question, u said AVR is sent by Sony for review, so how will you review it.... biased or unbiased...will u mention the AVRs Cons.just asking😃😜
Unbiased of course! I always say what I like and what I don't like.
Isnt this a 7.2? and that will mean you can add a second SW? THANKS.
yes it is
Heads up to OLED owners interested in this STR-DN1080 it doesn't go in screen saver or dim mode on my B7 when left alone for long periods. Love the receiver but a little worried about burn in potential when using it to cast music.
Aaron w i have that receiver hooked on my B7 as well. Like you I'm always worried about burn in, my solution is just to turn the screen saver (screen off) from the tv when i cast music. Problem solved
Francois-Xavier Nhieu that only works well if you don't use CEC. When I turn off my tv it turns off the receiver. I can cast to the receiver when everything is off and the tv won't turn on but it's inconvenient and I just wish it supported dim or screen saver.
Aaron w There is a setting for the receiver to stay on if the TV is turned off .
Yep, just turn the screen off. TV is still on, but screen is off. I have a B7 as well with this receiver.
Man you are cranking out vids like crazy. Props
I try for two per week. I used to do three per week, but I wasn't sleeping much, lol!!
Lol
In November 2017, I made 19 videos, that was a crazy month!!!
Aloha cool video describes my new receivers features how to perfectly.
but My-Problem is the space receiver against wall on a shelf.
adjusting cables against wall awkward tips? Mahalos
I mean, you'll have to manage that space and you TV or equipment stand.
How is ur experience with Sony Phantom surround? . I do not feel the difference with phantom back may be because of my Bose accoustimass 5.1 and elac debut atmos speakers. I have this reciever and I just love how this sounds.
I haven't checked that out yet, but I'll be sure to address that in the review video!!
Techno Dad thank you. Will wait for ur review :)
Question I have the Sony 1080 & Sony 4k player Ed Ubp-x1100es. Can I connect the audiosource amp310 to the 4k player? In the audio red & white or coaxial cable
Great! Sir can i questions, my sony strdn 1080 can't show the dolby atmos display in my receiver, I use a 7.2 speaker pattern, 2 sub and 7 speakers
I still cant get the tv to pass through audio via eArc? I have to use the optical. Every other component passes and the atmos is fantastic. The tv is a Sony XBR- 65X930E. I dont understant why its doing this?
Thanks for your feed back but please let me how do you find it in sound quality in comparison to denon x2200 avr Or yamha avr ashok chaturvedi
Hi, great video. I have a few different surround set ups but mainly use a sony are dh820 I have the speakers set the 5.2.2high. My high speakers are about a foot from the ceiling and pointing down at my head, is this the right position , or should I straighten them out more so they are pointing above my head?? Can't find anything clear on this . Thanks
Hi, great question! So it sounds like they are positioned at an angle, is this correct? If so, you should be fine as Dolby recommends a 30 degree angle toward your MLP.
Techno Dad!
Will you do a 30-day or extended use review after using this for a while? I'm working on updating my A/V receiver when I upgrade our TV from an LED 1080p 240hz to a 4K Oled. Curious how much you like this after some use. :)
Yeah, I'll have a review of this up after a few weeks
Hi I have question on the website Sony never mentions front height as the way to setup atmos. Which is how I have my speakers. It only mentions top middle or front dobly up firing speakers. So am I not getting atmos play back by setting my speakers to front height ?
Hi, I am from the UK and I want to bi-wire my speakers ( B&W 603s in to the Sony 1080.
Can you be of help and tell me where the cables go in to the back of the 1080 for Bi- wireing?
Thank you
Yaas been waiting for this!
I can't get atmos to show up at all when i push the Display button on my DN1080. Is this speaker setup required to activate that.
Ok sorry I'm so new to this. I'm frustrated with the limited info on Wireless speakers ( can't see anything on this) . If I buy this, can I get wireless speakers to connect in zones that aren't wire friendly? Like rear or ceiling? or must all speakers connect vis wire? Thanks
Hi! Probably not. Do you have an LG TV? There are some full wireless 5.1 setups using WISA.
What kind of speakers do i need. What watt should they be and the subwoofer aswell. I want to have all the surround sound speakers I can and a subwoofer that will beet hard and loud. I overall want a great movie surround sound, while being able to listen to music with a lot of bass.
Check this package out: amzn.to/2FEH4j5
Hey Techno Dad, I’d like to donate to get the download files for the dolby atmos demo disc. How can I reach you?
Is it normal for the price to go up by $100 a year later? Unless I'm looking at something wrong, it seems this $500 receiver is now $600. Did something else change (e.g. improved product) or was it just the price?
Nothing changed with the product. Price just went up
Should i get this or the bose lifestyle 600
I have recently bought this amp and have configured as advised, but I do not get anything other than multi channel stereo, certainly not Atmos or anything else. I do have the speakers connected correctly, and do have the 5.1.2 selected. Is there anything else I should check? Thanks
Have you done the test to see if every channel is working.
How does the sound/volume compare to the Denon?I know they are in different levels of the line.I have the Denon 1300,and from the box it doesn't seem to have any bass.And I have to turn up the volume almost to max to get a decent sound level,not high,just decent to listen to a movie.
Well I took a Denon x2400 back and replaced with the Sony so glad I did
Are you able to watch 2 tvs in different rooms? For example zone one being a video game in one room and zone 2 a DVD in a different room?
I don't think so.
That should be something to find out. This has 2 HDMI outs so it should be able to. A friend of mine did some digging after I watched this video and there is evidence to support being able to. Here is a link that talks about it. helpguide.sony.net/ha/strdn108/v1/en/contents/TP0001224849.html. I would just like to know for sure and if so, how.
I am from India and I want to buy this product, Does it have the international warranty.
Hi guys newbie here
Iv brought this receiver along with a 5.1 Monitor Audio Bronze set up and two Monitor Audio 265 IDC ceiling speakers
However on the back of the Sony it looks like there are two out outs for a subwoofer so can I run two subs with this receiver ?
Thanks guys
Mark
Yes
Great review. much appreciated. i was wondering if you could help me. i have this receiver connected to an LG TV and was hoping you could explain to me how i can turn on the TV and have the receiver go straight to my cable channel. At this point it goes to the cable in sound only whilst the TV displays the initial start for the receiver ie. the watch, listen, setup screen.
Was hoping you could help.
Cheers
Hi! Not too sure about this. What kind of remote are you using?
@@TechnoDad Thanks for getting back. i have tried both the LG and Sony remotes....
whats the difference between this and the Sony STR DH790?
Nice vid. I have found with my receiver, that if you have no input connected to HDMI, and are using the HDMI connected to your TV for just the menus and audio return channel, I get HDCP problems and it blanks the screen. Plugging in ANY source removes the problem. Sony tech support was no help. The told me to do a "factory reset"....which was silly. I hope this saves someone some headache.
Hi John! Thanks for the tip, I did not know that.
Hi I had 5.1pioneer reciver recently purchased Sony STR-DN1070 7.2 AV reciver. I need to upgrade the speakers.
1)I already have a active sub woofer(pioneer s-31w 150rms) but on my new receiver its mentioned 165W per channel does it affect my sub?
2)Need to add one more sub, can I directly connect a passive sub woofer(250rms or a car sub woofer without amp) into it?
if not why? and can you suggest me some subs suitable for my receiver
3)I had pioneer s-11 6ohm 150w surround speakers have 3"driver can I use the same?and I like bose jewell double cube but its costly compared to others. Could you suggest some speakers.
