Best value 7.1 home theater receiver

The 7.1-channel Sony STR-DH810 draws accolades as a solid performer and a strong value. It can strain to give complex music its full due, but still is an able performer that should please all but the pickiest of audiophiles. With movie...

Good value, easy setup, good sound quality, good features

Only four HDMI inputs, video upscaling not the best

Sony STR-DH810 review

Far from being a nondescript box, this 7.1-channel amp comes packed with all the latest technology

Flexible and (mostly) easy to drive ; Impressive sound ; Great value

Some coarseness and lack of weight when used at high volume levels

Great receiver!!

This is the first separate receiver I've bought, and I'm glad I did. It was the obvious choice for me because I have this thing where I need to keep electronics the same brand.. Well, base electronics anyway. I have 3 Von Schweikert speakers for the...

Easy set up and great volume

Can't figure out how to get the controler to work the tv

No aux out!

I love this reciever except one GREAT BIG oops! There is no line level out when you are using HDMI inputs. That means wireless headphones cannot be used via RCA output jacks if you use the hdmi features that got me to buy this thing in the first place....

Has a lot of features, the auto room calibration

No audio output jacks when using HDMI

Great value

The only complaint I have so far is the BD does not have a choice for HDMI. So you have to use the HDMI1 button as your BD. You would think that since Sony makes a BD with HDMI that they would have an HDMI input for the BD.

price, automatic switching of audio to match broadcast

no HDMI input for BD

Beware of the so called upscaling feature!

THIS RECEIVER DOES NOT ACTUALLY UPSCALE VIDEO. It will only convert video to HDMI format. This was confirmed through Sony's tech support. If your components are all HDMI, this receiver is great OTHERWISE, you will be very disappointed as 480i sources...

Nice sound

Does not actually upscale video

Its a performer

When I knew I was going to go with a surround sound set up, it would begin with a Sony AV Receiver. I bought it and connected the cable box and a pair of Sony SS 6000 speakers. I now have an XM Radio, PS3, iPod, TV sound for the Wii and the PS2 (before...

Multiple connections available, various sound modes, easy to set up

The speaker connections

So Far.. So GREAT!!

good value

Very nice. I LOVE the sync tech that's in this receiver.. It just happens, I got a Sony BRAVIA Flat screen and Sony Blu-Ray player for christmas. Set up was pretty simple, especially with the auto-calibration feature ; I just watched Inception, a REAL...

None Yet... other than making me feel like i need to remodel my living room into a full blown theater
