Review: For the price, hands down the best audio reciever out there - For the price, hands down the best audio receiver out there. I use this for my XBOX/PC gaming setup and really enjoy the customizable settings and easy input switching it offers. I paired it with some sub-par speakers and a budget powered-subwoofer from pioneer. The result is nothing short of, “wow, what have I been missing this whole time?” My speakers came from an in-the-box home theater blue ray combo and compared the quality of sound that offers to this receiver, the difference is amazing. PROS: Fairly easy setup, switching inputs is almost instant, sound quality for the price is wonderful, no lack of inputs for people with multiple of devices they want to run through the receiver and the extra channel for 7.1 surround sound or the capability for 4K resolution make this an easy upgrade for anyone considering these options in the future. The receiver offers more than plenty of watts per channel giving good crisp sound which would fill any size room or home theater. It also has a plug and play tune kit which allows you to let the receiver change the settings automatically, I thought this was a great addition for anyone not willing to tinker with hard to find settings. CONS: The user manual is pretty hard to read, I say this as a fairly seasoned tech guy who built my own computer and generally customize (and notice the differences it makes) my audio setup. I didn’t mind reading through the manual I just know for a fact a lot of users will probably just toss it aside and forget it, which could be a mistake as the receiver offers plenty of options to tailor the audio experience to the individual using it. The two extra channels which could be used for 7.1 surround can also be used as a separate room channel – I plan to use this for an out-door patio speaker set up at some point. Another feature I was looking for and found to be extremely expensive to buy was the ability to listen to multiple inputs at the same time, for example I run my gaming PC and Xbox on two different screens directly above and below each other. I would love to be able to watch a YouTube video on my PC screen and listen to the audio while gaming at the same time on my Xbox. And I would love even more for the sound from both devices to be coming through the receiver in true 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound, but alas this feature is way out of my price range. Finally the ending: In all if you are in the market for a cheap but effective audio receiver you probably already know this is a good deal. You probably already know how much tinkering and setting up your willing to put forth too and if you fit this bill this is a good buy. I almost purchased it at best buy but then I did a price comparison to desertcart prime and knowing I’d get it shipped free to my door didn’t hesitate to purchase it on my phone in store while I was talking to the guy at best buy. Review: Great AVR - Ok, so This reciver is an excellent choice for a 5.1 or a 7.1 or 5.2/7.2 home theater setup without wanting all the bells and whistles like bluetooth, wifi access and what not. I am running a 5.1 setup with my 5 speakers being all 6homs, so at first i was shy to think the reciver will handle properly but i was wrong, so far i had this reciver for about 3 days now and i play with it every day. Ive seen 4 movies so far and the reciver barely gets warm to the touch. But b4 watching movies there's the setup where your asked to use the auto cal mic and all. Personally i think its a great addition and definitely helps with the set up, but i do recommend after the auto cal to go into the settings manually to check all the adjustments and see if you agree with them. The user interface is not colorful or anything but thats fine you only use it to set the settings and then u dont really see it much. But its all straight fwd the settings and all. If you can read and have common sense then ull be fine no problem. But if you do have questions about the avr such as modes or setting or what dose that light/button do, the user manual dose an exellent job as anwsering all your questions. You shouldn't feel lost at all. But opinion is something else, if your looking for the best settings and want to know what other people have there avr set up then yeah you need google. But back to the reciver, i came from an older sony that wasn't bad but it didn't have hdmi inputs so i couldn't take advantage of HD audio witch kind of bugged me out. So i wanted a decent upgrade, i didn't care for bluetooth or wifi capabilities because i have a separate bluetooth stereo system for music so yeah i just wanted to be able to hear a little bit better sound but mostly more power for my speakers, and let me say this avr dose not disappoint. Its very powerful and i cant even get it past half volume with out me questioning if my speakers are going to blow or not. I do think this reciver is true to its power or atleast very close, but over all it did make my speakers sound better and ive watched movies i had watched with my older avr with the optical cable and man i can hear the difference, its just more clear and the 3d effects are there and there sharp. At times i felt like i had speakers right behind me and above me..but i dont i have a regular 5.1 setup. So yeah i really love the fact when i hit the power button on my ps4 it turns on my avr and tv all on one button and to turn it all of with one button i press the power button on my tv remote. I found out a few things that are good to know if you have a smart tv. When i turnd on my avr for the first time the "up,down,left,right,and enter" buttons didn't work. I thought my controller was broken but it wasn't, because i have a smart tv it some how over rided the avr remote and only let me move around the menus with the actual tv remote so i had to go into my tv settings and fix that. Just thought i should bring that up incase it happens to someone else. Also this avr turns off automatically when there is no audio sent to it after a piriod of time. I believe the people who say this avr turns off alone and what not dident read the manual and find out you can turn of the timer in witch the avr turns off. Ive played games and watch movies and never turned off so far. This avr offers plentiful settings to meet your needs, and definitely souds great. At first if you think things dont sound as good as you would like it to then go into the settings and play with it for a bit, you can always return it the next day or 2 days later. But really just read the manual, or atleast skim thru it. Its very useful it anwsered all my questions, but when it comes to witch setting is best for what then you got to reserch a bit is all. If your looking to upgrade to a simple avr to get all the HD audio codecs and run a 5.1 or 7.1 system with power to spare then this is the way to go! ## Features - iPod/iPhone Music and Video playback - 4 HDMI Inputs - 3D Pass-through, 4K Pass-through, - HD Digital Cinema Sound with Front-High speakers (HD DCS) - Audio Return Channel uses just one cable for TV audio ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00BHC7ZTE | | Audio Output Mode | Stereo | | Audio Output Type | Speakers | | Best Sellers Rank | #807,096 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #1,311 in Audio/Video Receivers & Amplifiers | | Brand | Sony | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Speaker, Smartphone, iPhone, iPod | | Connectivity Technology | HDMI | | Connector Type | HDMI | | Control Method | Touch | | Controller Type | Touch, Smartphone App | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 513 Reviews | | Format | 4K | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00027242863026 | | Item Weight | 15 pounds | | Manufacturer | Sony | | Mfr Part Number | STR-DH740 | | Model Number | STR-DH740 | | Number of Channels | 7 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Sleep Timer;3D Compatiblity | | Output Power | 142 watts | | Output Wattage | 210 watts | | Special Feature | Sleep Timer;3D Compatiblity | | Supported Internet Services | Apple Music, Apple TV+ | | Surround Sound Channel Configuration | 7.2 | | Total HDMI Ports | 5 | | Total Number of HDMI Ports | 5 | | UPC | 027242863026 743898437366 559617325728 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Video Encoding | H.264, H.265/HEVC | | Wireless Technology | Bluetooth, Wi-Fi | ## Product Details - **Audio Output Mode:** Stereo - **Brand:** Sony - **Compatible Devices:** Speaker, Smartphone, iPhone, iPod - **Connectivity Technology:** HDMI - **Connector Type:** HDMI - **Controller Type:** Touch, Smartphone App - **Special Feature:** Sleep Timer;3D Compatiblity - **Surround Sound Channel Configuration:** 7.2 - **Total HDMI Ports:** 5 - **Video encoding:** H.264, H.265/HEVC ## Images ![Sony STR-DH740 7.2 Channel 4K AV Receiver (Black) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51QQ34tp5vL.jpg) ![Sony STR-DH740 7.2 Channel 4K AV Receiver (Black) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71e2pLFUdlL.jpg) ![Sony STR-DH740 7.2 Channel 4K AV Receiver (Black) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51D6QK5SXSL.jpg) ![Sony STR-DH740 7.2 Channel 4K AV Receiver (Black) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41OrC1oLgvL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For the price, hands down the best audio reciever out there *by B***N on September 15, 2014* For the price, hands down the best audio receiver out there.

I though I made it with the older one but it too started to cut in and out so I was forced to upgrade. PROS: - Uses the newer technology to auto set-up your speaker configuration by using the plug-in mic and placing it where you'll be sitting in the room. - Works - Is able to do 7.1 OR 5.1 I bought it to use with my 5.1 set-up and configured it to work as 5.1 instead of 7.1 - Most of the settings are configured by using the on screen (TV screen) configurations through the HDMI connection fed from the receiver. You can't really do the setup using the front display of the receiver as it won't show you all of the options and fields. - Sound is crisp and clear - Price was not a killer CONS: - Not as many optical inputs as my previous unit - Not as customizable for the display to read what you want it too. They have key words and you are basically tied down to their choices. - Auto shuts down when it does not receive an audio signal for about 5 minutes. You'll need to turn it back on or go into the programming and disable the feature. I chose to leave it on in the event that my wife leaves it on by accident as she moves the harmony remote due to impatience thus not allowing the macro to finish. - I wasn't too pleased with the auto programming of the speakers. The volume on the center channel was too low when it was finished setting up. I didn't care for background noises being about as loud as the vocal track on the center channel. Luckily it allowed me to go back in and adjust the center channel while preserving the rest of the settings. While I do like this unit it just isn't as friendly as my previous unit. Hopefully by now though Sony has learned about cheap solder connections and this one will last a long long time. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/1109971-sony-str-dh740-7-2-channel-4k-av-receiver-black](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/1109971-sony-str-dh740-7-2-channel-4k-av-receiver-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-09-26*
