Questions & Answers

I found a bug in the code. A lot of times when muting/unmuting occurs when playing music and a tv is turned on, the loop continues until it is rebooted. Does this look familiar to you?

I also get the 'mute' message on my receiver when I turn on the TV and my receiver automatically turns on (due to the ARC cable connection). Nevertheless, all I had to do was turn off the receiver, wait a while, and turn it back on, and the receiver was set up as Totally agree that it's annoying as hell. However, there is an easy way to resolve the problem.

There is Amazon on TV and Netflix on the internet. The picture works when I switch the receiver to tv mod and attempt to watch either Netflix or Amazon, but the sound does not work. How about you?

According to the manual, if you select the "TV" as your input, the receiver will expect audio to be coming from the HDMI-source A channel from your TV for the ARC protocol. Does this seem to be how you have it set up?

Could this be used with the Xbox One X to pass through HDR?

I should reiterate that the 4K HDR feature does work. I just opened a new game on my PS5, but when I first opened it, it was only running in 4K without HDR or 1080p with HDR. A guide is included in the operating manual which explains how to enable 4k with HDR. It was "Amp menu" then "Hdmi" then "Sig." I had to press "Amp menu" then "hdmi" then "sig." Then click on "Game" and then (The "Game" setting is specific to the HDMI port I have my PS5 connected to, so perhaps I could adjust it by port?

In order to keep the display from turning off after a few seconds, how can you make it not turn off? Unless I hit display or adjust the volume, I can't see anything on my screen. ?

Thank you for your inquiry, Adam Corrigan. With the remote, you can adjust the display panel settings by selecting the "DIMMER" button. This paragraph is about *Ralph

There are some weird quirks with this receiver, but for the price it is quite good
3/5

I recommend it to anyone looking for an entry level receiver for a basic set up. Then again, it comes with a few quirks that you should know about before buying it. 1

The HDMI CEC feature is not supported. Even though it might not be important to most people, it needs to be mentioned. Those who don't know what it is, CEC is a method of switching a receiver on and off automatically (or vice versa) when devices connected to the receiver do so

2. It is very difficult to calibrate. It sounds terrible every time I calibrate the mic, regardless of where I place it. I've tried it many times in many different places. This program always sets the subwoofer to the lowest possible dB setting, causing the distance between the speakers to become distorted completely. The best advice that I can offer is just to tackle all of this yourself, you will be much happier with the result. It is connected to a 5. I use it in a PC. Two setups with low end speakers (or near it). I calibrated myself and adjusted all the settings (which are pretty simple to adjust), and the setup came out pretty Passing through HDR from an Apple TV 4K works just fine, and I do not have any picture or audio challenges using a 2016 Samsung 4K.

For the specs, this is an excellent value
4/5

You should update the firmware on your device. When I first saw that there was no feature for eARC, I was a little surprised. Upon checking Sony's website, I realized the firmware on the unit I bought (bought Dec 26, 2018) is outdated. It is time to upgrade to the There are 171 for the It only took 5 minutes to install the DH790 via USB and it gives you eARC support. For those of you who have a PS4 and would like to make its HDR feature available (assuming your 4k television supports it) you will need this firmware. Here's what Sony website states (why you should care about eARC) regarding the firmware The following is a list of its features and benefits *Added support for eARC*Notes The HDMI 2 ARC protocol is the next generation of HDMI. One new standardized function that maintains compatibility with legacy audio formats and modern audio formats in addition to the existing Audio Return Channel (ARC). You can enjoy object audio content, such as Dolby Atmos, by using the eARC feature. The Dolby TrueHD and DTS sound systems are as follows A set of X or multiple X There is no way to transmit content in LPCM using Someone had mentioned the lack of CEC support in an earlier review. The answer is that it does indeed You may need to enable it in the TV settings of your TV to get it to work (for example, you have to enable it on the TCL 6 series). Anyhow, it's great news & it's going to be very useful It is a pleasure to see the pass thru. It was only after I upgraded my HDMI cables and everything worked at 4K quite well. Make sure you get the newer cables, as the older ones may not support the higher Gbps transmission rate. Then put it. In addition to supporting Dolby Atmos, this is a wonderful thing. It is a good value for the price. Cons An interface used by the user. The worst part is that it stinks. Sorry about that. it is so confusing to use and the menu on the left of the screen is difficult to understand and doesn't seem My rear surround speakers consistently showed a random error even though they had been calibrated previously and worked quite well. The "calibration" plug was basically worthless in this regard and I kept getting random errors.

A 7 is NOT the best grade
3/5

The device is equipped with two receivers. AVAILABLE AS A 7, THIS UNIT HAS AN ADVERTISED SALE PRICE. The device is equipped with two receivers. This is not the case. It is 7. I telephoned Sony and they confirmed this with me. On the box and in the sales material, it is printed as 2 . ADVERTISING KNOWN TO BE FALSE.

For 90% of us, this is the perfect unit
5/5

I have not encountered any hassles. (HDMI CEC works fine for me according to another review. ) Two 145-watt speakers, Atmos/DTSX, should be more than enough for anyone intending to play music in their home. Skip the $1200 Denon FS and use the denon efs.

What a great idea! A video receiver I purchased for the first time is the one I have
4/5

My choice of this receiver is due to the fact that it is the cheapest 4k receiver that supports Dolby Atmos. The $500 model does not come with chromecast or anything like that because I will be hooking it up to a computer instead. Several of my children are 10 years old and five years old. It's a pair of Pioneer speakers I had on my old PS3 and XBOX 360 audio system. When I hooked these up to the Sony receiver, I could not believe the improvement. There's no comparison to the sound of those Pioneer speakers. In terms of sound quality, I give it an A. The only thing I don't like about FM radio is that the hdmi output of whatever you're using will be turned off and you will be redirected to the radio page when you switch it to FM radio. With it hooked up to my computer, I can access it from anywhere. In order to surf the internet and listen to the radio at the same time, I have to switch. In addition to my computer's integrated sound card, I have a dedicated $200 sound card. When using the sound card, the sound quality is better than when using the GPU's HDMI port. When I play games or listen to music I use my sound card, but when I watch movies or listen to music in truhd or atmos I use HDMI. Rather than the Logitech Z906, I'm glad I picked up this one. I was on the verge of purchasing a Logitech. The heat it emits barely registers even after using it for more than 10 hours straight. The heat I produce is greater than the heat I create with my breath.

This receiver provides great value and is a great receiver
5/5

A great deal of An audio that is very powerful. I had no problems setting up 1 and 2 In the past, I had to measure the sound pressure of each speaker individually, but that is no longer the case. It is ideal to use the 4K passthrough. The receiver would shut down every time I attempted to use my 4K DVD player, and I was frustrated. Due to some reason, it was becoming overloaded even with moderate traffic. wondering about it for several days, I discovered that my right front speaker connection had become loose and caused the calibration for that channel to go out of balance. In the event that it happens to you, remember this. It appears as though there is only one issue with the receiver banana plug speaker connections are not supported. It would be nice if there were more of this.

An installation instruction that is I am pleased with the product
4/5

In order to update my home theater system, I needed an ARC receiver. Due to the lack of ARC support in my former receiver, I could not use the built-in apps from my TV for surround sound. Upon connecting, the installation instructions did not provide the expected results, which caused me to become quite frustrated. The Sony representative gave me all the information I needed to be able to get sound out of my entertainment apps such as Nexflix, Amazon, and others. Also, I got to choose an additional pair of speakers (total of 7) for a better and more immersive.
