With support for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, you get surround sound like they have in movie theatres. Rich, lifelike and all-encompassing.
Dolby Atmos delivers breath-taking realism with 360º surround sound, by accurately positioning sound from every angle in your environment – even from above. The result is rich audio that completely envelops you.

DTS:X decoding delivers multi-dimensional surround sound that adapts to your speaker configuration in real time. Sound is positioned precisely around and above you, thanks to object-based audio decoding.

No matter what space or setup you’re working with, the flexible STR-DH790 works with your speakers to make sure you get all-round stunning sound.
Put yourself at the heart of the action with an immersive 5.1.2 channel surround speaker system, delivering lifelike audio from every angle – even above.

Get the real big screen experience with a fully-fledged 7.1 channel surround speaker system. The ideal way to close up any gaps in your sound space – even in bigger rooms.

Ideal for smaller rooms, S-Force PRO Front surround delivers a virtual surround acoustic field using only two speakers.

If you’re working with different combinations of speakers, our seamless auto calibration technology will have them all delivering the same high-quality sound. Automatic Phase Matching aligns the phase characteristics of your speakers to the front left and right speaker channels, so they all work perfectly together to deliver a more effective surround sound experience.

By supporting High Dynamic Range (HDR) signal pass-through, you can enjoy the incredible jump in contrast and brightness it brings – and the additional shadow detail and highlights further enhance picture detail and brings colour to life. Latest HDR standards such as HDR10, HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) and Dolby Vision™ are supported.

Maintain 4K quality from source to screen. 4K passthrough allows a signal to pass through the receiver without compromising image quality and is HDCP 2.2 compatible.

Not only can you connect to the STR-DH790 through Bluetooth® and stream all your favourite tracks, but with Bluetooth® Standby, you can turn your receiver on straight from your paired smartphone or tablet.

The STR-DH790 is designed to fit seamlessly into your existing home entertainment. With a thinner profile and packed with inputs and outputs, just plug in and enjoy movie theatre quality straight from your sofa.
The sleek, understated control panel will blend seamlessly with any décor.
