I have my receiver connected to the Onkyo SKS-HT750 speakers, Sony 60' SXRD and PS 3 for Blu-ray/DVD. The biggest pain in the butt was connecting and running the wires for the speakers. My only real problem was the speaker connection on the back of the receiver. It was a little annoying trying to fit my speaker wire into the little hole and then screw down the connection.

I purchased one of these a little over a month ago. The auto-calibration didn't really work. It identified my speakers as large and didn't sound very good. After some extensive tweaking, it sounded pretty good. We were also disappointed that the S-AIR feature required the purchase of a a transmitter that cost $80 and had to be screwed into the back of the receiver.

      Comments about Sony STR-DH800 7.1-Channel Home Theater Receiver:

      I'm retired from Raytheon so I can handle some electronics. This receiver is much too complicated for the average person.Average home user does not need all the options and menues of this unit. I have other Sony units,but nothing is as complicated as this receiver.
      I returned it.

        Sound from TV issue

        By ctphoto

        from Danbury, CT

        Pros

        • When it works it works great

        Cons

        • Sound shattering volume differences when connected to TV

          Comments about Sony STR-DH800 7.1-Channel Home Theater Receiver:

          I have been back and forth with Sony and DISH TV about this sound issue. When watching regular TV the sound is fine but when a commercial or different station is entered the volume goes WAY up or WAY down. Sony is stumped, DISH TV is stumped. Everybody has tossed their hands in the air. I expected better support. All other components, TV, DVD, BLU-RAY, WOOFER are Sony products.

          Comments about Sony STR-DH800 7.1-Channel Home Theater Receiver:

          This is a great product! If I were to write the directions in the maunal for the "easy set-up" I would draw a diagram for the menu paths to get to the correct settings needed. Once you figure out your menu paths, it begins to make sense. First, you need to tell the receiver how many speakers you have (I have 7 with a separate sub woofer.) With a separate sub woofer, you then need to tell the receiver that the front speakers are "small" in order to get the rear speakers to work. The speaker system now sounds spectacular. With this receiver, I was able to upgrade to the HDMI cord from the original "Monster" cord. Better base, better clarity. I'm very glad I upgraded. It was worth the hastle of setting up.
