Sony STR-DH770 review

The STR-DH770 delivers surround sound using only the front speakers with Front Surround DSP technology, as well as compatibility with the latest 4K 60 Hz video standards with HDR. At a 6-ohm load and with two active channels, the receiver provides only 90 W/channel versus 145 W/channel in the STR-DH790. It would also not be out of place to mention in the comparison, Sony STR-DH770 vs Sony STR-DH790, that STR-DH770 does not have support for the second zone. The device is capable of decoding all current multi-channel audio formats, including Dolby True HD and DTS-HD Master Audio.
