REMOTE: RM-AAU168

RATING: 4.5 out of 5 stars

Welcome to a review of the Sony STR-DH740 7.2-channel 4K A/V Receiver. The STR-DH740 is considered an entry level receiver since it lacks some connectivity features that more expensive models have. However, it does come with, what many users consider, the most important features. The set-up is easy and the receiver is contemporary and visually appealing. The picture quality of your movies will be spectacular, with vivid, bright colors and crystal clear images that only high definition resolution can deliver. This receiver has 3D pass-through, meaning it is compatible with any movie or game you want to watch in 3D. It is also equipped with 4k pass-through, the technology of the future. Any content you have in 4K can be passed through this receiver to a 4K capable TV, meaning Sony, with this receiver, has prepared you for the future of 4k technology.

The part # for the remote control that accompanies this receiver is RM-AAU168.

A microphone is one of the accessories you get with your package and is provided to help you calibrate your speakers to equalize the sound coming from each speaker. Once calibration is complete, you will be happy with the well balanced bass, clarity, detail, surround sound, and power that this receiver will deliver. A USB port is located on the front panel, but is only compatible with apple or Sony devices, one major drawback, as noted by many users. With 4 HDMI inputs, you can easily connect your blu-ray, cable box, gaming console and still have another slot left over for an HDMI compatible device. For the best sound possible, it is recommended that high-speed HDMI cables be purchased since they do not come with this receiver. Overall, for the low price, you get your money’s worth with this receiver and then some.

• Inexpensive
