Sony STR DH7

This is one of the easiest to set up but with the most extensive capabilities. I am really impressed with the function of this amplifier/receiver. This replaced a Kenwood in my setting and with the HDMI outputs makes hook ups to my...

Another Amazing Sony Receiver

After I bought the STR-DH810, I picked this one out for my Dad. Other than the fact it has one fewer HDMI input and a slightly lower speaker wattage, the receiver is fantastic. I had a fun time updating this thing to support 3D HDTV for Blu-Ray and...

Sound on this thing is out of this world. This is really the only way to watch blu-rays. When playing concerts on this, watch out, the pictures in other rooms may fall off the wall. Plenty of connections, speaker A and B settings (which was very...

No S-Air without extra transmitter. Sony doesn't make a good DMPORT iPhone dock that can be bought easily. Setting up Speaker A and B settings is not well defined in user manual, but is easy to do if you know how

Sony customer service is bad

The audio was very good but I can't comment on the rest because it doesn't work

This receiver was DOA. I can get sound but no picture. I spent several hours trying to get it to work plus another 90 minutes with Sony tech support who confirmed the receiver was defective. In this case, I tried CompSource because they had a lower...

Total junk

I made the mistake of buying the 700 model. I hope this 710 model is a thousand times better. Mine would cut off every time I tried to turn up the volume. Then is just stopped powering on. I sent it to Sony in Laredo,Texas and they told me that it...

Total junk. Buy another brand

Does not work and cannot be fixed

Second Review

I'm back with my second review on this product. As for the customer with the durability issue; I'm not sure what's up with him. Receivers are supposed to be put somewhere and stay there. If you can do that then you're okay. It does get hot the unit...

STR-DH710

Very good unit for the price with bells and whistle. The acoustic adjusting microphone actually works. I would highly recommend

It seems the technical writer was on "crack" because the owners manual was confusing. But after tweeking the controls for a couple of hours I was able to figure it out

Buyer Beware

Sony customer service is HORRIBLE. I would recommend this unit to anyone if it wasn't for the service after the sale. Tech Support/Cust Service was a massive waste of time only to have to pay $30+ to ship it back to their service center after only...

Very good sound. Lot's of inputs

Build Quality. Mine broke after only 3 months. From what I have heard durability is an issue with Sony receivers

Better than I expected.

for 200 bones and free delivery, this reciever has exceeded my expectations. If I get 5 years out of it, I will have no complaints.

CHEAP! Extremely low noise and good range and power for the price

No on screen display. Extremely slow hdmi switching. Won't switch my laptop via hdmi- probably hdcp issue, but it could at least default to sd video and pass through the sound
