Sony STRDH820 7.1 Channel 3D AV Receiver (Black) Reviews
| 153 of 160 people found the following review helpful:  (Almost) everything I wanted.. but VERY confusing/overwhelming, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Sony STRDH820 7.1 Channel 3D AV Receiver (Black) (Electronics) Let me start off by saying that I'm not new to home theater equipment. I've been using receivers for about 10 years now (SONY STR-* receivers) and have been generally happy with them. When looking for an upgrade from my previous 7.1 receiver to one that supports the new HD audio formats (DTS-HDMA, Dolby TrueHD, LPCM), this one seemed to be the newest, cheapest, full-featured model available (about 300 dollars) without going for last years' model for slightly less. When I mention my "previous receiver", I'm referring to a ~4 or so year old STR-DV10 receiver that cost about 200 bucks at the time (new/retail price). The first surprise was that this is actually a 7.2 receiver (even stated as such on the box) - it has 2 Subwoofer outputs on the back (Amazon is listing it as a 7.1 channel receiver). One important thing to me were the speaker outputs on the back - these are all "banana plug" style, making it MUCH more convenient to attach speakers (my...

An STR 8xx from Sony that works!, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Sony STRDH820 7.1 Channel 3D AV Receiver (Black) (Electronics) Finally, Excellent! A correction: This is a 7.2 Channel 3D A/V Receiver and not a 7.1, which is a nice thing. This unit has 2 subwoofer outputs vs. its two predecessors (800 & 810) which only have one. My comments on this unit are based on my comparative experiences with the STRDH-810 and the STRDH-800 models from Sony. I just purchased and returned 2 of the STRDH-810's, the first had a blown HDM1 port and the neither unit's input port assignment work properly, after searching on the net and reading reviews and comments on various web sites it's apparent this is a major design flaw on the previous models. I spent hours and hours trying to make this work until I finally realized it didn't. On this model, I had everything hooked up and working in 5 minutes. Off the top, I've only played with this unit for a couple of days, this unit as perfect as perfect can be for a 3D A/V Receiver in this price range. Finally the input assignments are predefined and make...

I am using the 820's Bi-Amp feature, where the internal amplifier that normally drives the 'B' set of speakers is used at the same time as the 'A' amp to drive your front speakers. This allows one amp to drive the woofer portion and the other to drive the tweeter/mids for a slightly cleaner signal/sound (make sure to remove the conducting bridge on your speaker terminals if using this mode). The on-screen setup menu is decent, giving lots of configuration options that are pretty standard for most mid-range amplifiers these days: speaker configuration, crossover point, etc. Inputs can also be assigned from here. My only complaint is the interface "feels" a little clunky (especially trying to setup stored radio stations), but if you're patient gets the job done. The only real downside I've come across that probably won't affect most users is the... Read more |
