About this product

Product Information

Experience a new world of sound with the Sony STR-DG800 A/V receiver. Add this digital audio receiver to your home theater setup, and marvel as it pulls you into the action. Movies, sports, and music all seem more real when you feel it happening all around you using the HDMI Passthrough. This Sony audio receiver demonstrates why Sony is one of the biggest names in home entertainment and electronics.With features that would please any audiophile, it's surprisingly easy to integrate the Sony STR-DG800 audio receiver into your home theater. The receiver has the right input connections and options for gamers, movie buffs, and music lovers, including HDMI for outstanding video. The powerful amplifier will fill any space with sound. It's even ready for you to plug in your XM Connect and Play Antenna and enjoy hundreds of commercial-free music, news, and sports channels. Other video equipment can make use of the HDMI ports.With 770 watts of power to draw on, this 7.1 channel audio video receiver takes surround sound to the next level. A step up from the more common 5.1 surround sound, this system adds two additional rear speakers. It uses a single front center speaker, two front stereo speakers, a speaker to each side, and two speakers to the rear. That gives it a total of seven channels. The .1 refers to a subwoofer. With 110 watts per channel, this Sony receiver will make all of your speakers earn their keep. Of course, it also has a headphone jack for those times when you need to keep it quiet.Two HDMI inputs allow you to connect dual HD sources, such as your gaming console and DVD player. You can then quickly switch back and forth between them using the remote control. With true HDMI Passthrough, the STR-DG800 does not degrade your HDMI video or audio signal. Your games and DVD video will look as good as if they were connected directly to the television. It will also take an S-video input and up-convert it to a higher-quality component output. It also has a digital coaxial input. The unit also provides the best possible connections for audio.You can simply plug this equipment in and perform a quick setup, but to get the best possible audio from your new system, you'll want to do more. For instance, you can calibrate each speaker according to its position and distance from the listener. Given the plethora of inputs, outputs, and settings, you may wonder how you could ever get the audio just right. That's why Sony created the Digital Cinema Auto Calibration system. You can easily sculpt the sound to fit your exact environment by connecting the included microphone and starting the calibration process. The receiver will listen through the microphone and set the level of each speaker. In just a few minutes, you’ll have a perfectly calibrated surround sound system. If you're a more advanced audiophile, you can always fine-tune everything manually.

  • I Expected Better

    This Sony , the first thing you will notice is that it gets very hot ,.. so you can't put anything on top of it . For Me , The Optical input drastically reduced the volume output connected to my TV. I pushed it up to about 50% which is more than I want to before I got that Theater sound . The Bass and treble are almost non existent or respond very poorly which is important if you want to watch a movie and hear crisp tink tink tink sound or thunder. This unit is also very difficult to set up. The manual is 99 pages long and without it , you are lost .. A lot of Presets that include such " Hold this Button for 5 seconds till this pops up then press this . The remote control is Awesome , HUGE almost 1 foot long . Great easy to see controls .powered by 2 AA batteries . Gold Star for that. The volume I expected more from 100+ watts , very disappointing . The quality of the sound seems poor compared to other receivers I have . I didn't get that WOW experience from it . ..

  • Sony STR-DG800 7.1

    The Stereo Receiver is a very good amp. Does it sound Good? - is not a question of the amp but the quality of the speakers. There is no hum or distortion through out its volume range. It is not the easiest of receivers to set up. You have to have its manual to fully understand what it can and cannot do. The manual is available online for downloading.  I am very pleased with the amp and would recommend it to you.

  • Geat sound from a Sony?

    I'm pleasantly surprised on how good the sound is coming out of those two home made bookshelves speakers. So much so that I listened to it about 80«5 of the time. And that's saying a lot.

  • Awesome Buy

    I couldn't have been any more pleased then what I was when this receiver landed at my doorstep this morning. This Sony by far has to be one of my greatest so far Investments when it comes to my music. The clarity is amazing. The hookups were very easy as well now just taking the time to actually learn how to work it LOL.
