Why it's a best pick:
Despite costing less than most midrange receivers, the Sony STR-DH800 7.1 receiver packs an impressive feature set and delivers excellent sound quality for the money. This receiver offers 4 HDMI inputs and has onboard decoding for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD. It’s very easy to setup and optimize with the included microphone and auto calibration system. While it lacks some features found on higher-end receivers such as 1080p analog upconversion or a GUI menu system, the Sony STR-DH800 offers a lot of bang for the buck and is a great choice for buyers on a budget.
