User questions & answers

Question:	Can i use the mb42x-c speakers even though impedance varies between 4 to 8 ohms? the receiver impedance says 6-16 ohms. will i be ok
Answer:	My Sony PS-LX250H works very nicely with this receiver. There is no phono input. So I plugged the red and white RCA's into the SAT/CATV input jack.
Question:	So this connects multiple speakers with Bluetooth
Answer:	40 watts
Question:	are the hdmi inputs actual inputs or just pass thru
Answer:	Dear Consumer, thanks for your question! Pls kindly noted that it doesn't work that way. The subwoofer acts like your echo studio. You pair a sound source device (phone, tablet, laptop,TV) to the subwoofer together with speakers to play sound from. For the method of connection pls check the description in this page, for more questions, pls feel free to contact [email protected].
Question:	I'm looking for a good sony reciever that i can hook my turntable up to from the back
Answer:	Yes. I used a single RCA Male to Male, then a Y adapter to go from RCA Female to 2 RCA Males. Works very well.

User questions & answers

Question:	How do you keep the display on the front from turning off after a few seconds? My screen stays blank unless I hit display or adjust the volume
Answer:	It’s 9 channels powered. 2 outputs for the subs If you are wiring 11 channels you will need an additional 2 channel amp or go to the 6700h
Question:	Does this allow hdr passthrough for xbox one x
Answer:	SURE CAN! I HAVE A FIRESTICK (4K) PLUGGED INTO A HDMI PORT ON THE BACK, AND IT PERFORMS PERFECTLY. I DO BOTH AMAZON AND NETFLIX FROM IT, BETTER THAN LG APPLICATION TV USES.
Question:	Tv has amazon and netflix. when i turn the receiver to tv mod and try to watch either netflix or amazon i can get the picture but no sound. thoughs
Answer:	I have not heard a 3500, and I own a 4500. According to this reference (https://www.avsforum.com/forum/90-receivers-amps-processors/2973392-official-2018-denon-s-series-x-series-avr-owner-s-thread-faq-posts-1-8-a.html) what the 4500 adds over 3500 is below. Looks like the 3500 does not have AL32 processing, which is significant imo. Also the 3500 will not get the "IMAX Enhanced" certification & modes coming to the X4500 and 6500 (no one knows if those are any good, but worth noting). --- Upgrading from the X3500H adds: 2 additional on board amps for 9CH on board processing (ie. 7.1.2 or 5.1.4; with capability to expand to 11CH processing (ie. 7.1.4) using an external 2CH amp), 11.2 main zone pre-outs, Zone 3 (same inputs as Zone 2 except not HDMI), a 2nd 12v trigger, front panel display of speaker inputs (or outputs), metal front panel with 2 line display, Custom 2 CH main zone settings (using FL/FR or dedicated Front B; LARGE/SMALL; crossover settings, sub – on/off, distance, level), two internal cooling fans, Auro 3D/Auromatic, AL32 Processing, Bass Sync; Remote Control able to store preset codes from other mfr devices (see below) and the ability to add Auro 3D Voice of God/Top Surround via the Subwoofer pre-out 2 only. Audyssey (but not Dynamic EQ, Dynamic Volume, LFC) enabled when DTS Virtual:X is selected. ---
Question:	Found a bug. when playing music and i turn on the tv, gets stuck in muting/unmuting loop until a reboot. dae see this
Answer:	Will not pass through 4k @ 120Hz or 8k @ 60Hz do to a bottleneck of the Panasonic chip used. This impacts the all the 2020 Denon AVRs and most mfg claiming HDMI 2.1 compatible. The work around us to connect your pc or console directly to your HDMI 2.1 TV and use the TVs eARC back to the AVR. Even then not all TVs pass lossless via eARC equally.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this device support the SiriusXM internet radio
Answer:	It does not have an input for a dedicated XM or Sirius Tuner as some earlier SONY receivers did. It has an internal input for "Music Services" but the only two supported are Chromecast and Spotify. Pretty lame. However, with the addition of another device that is capable of streaming SiriusXM (such as Sony Blu Ray player BDP-S3700), you can stream SiriusXM. If you have a good universal remote control (I am using a Harmony Ultimate), the integrated control of the receiver and streaming SiriusXM is fairly easy to program.
Question:	Why does the manufacturer keep replying here that dolby vision is not supported? it clearly says on the sony website that dolby vision is supported
Answer:	Hi there! We do apologize for the confusion. The Sony STRDN1080 is indeed compatible with Dolby Vision. Here is the link for more details. https://docs.sony.com/release//Help_4686526113.pdf. -Jerome
Question:	Can i simultaneously play video from different sources on the two hdmi out ports? please do not post the link to sony's page as it does not help
Answer:	Yes you can! I just received mine and I had seen conflicting answers on this question all across the internet. When you set the HDMI Out B to HDMI Zone, you can display and hear your computer on your main TV and your Xbox One on your gaming TV.
Question:	How would you connect additional Dolby Atmos speakers to this, in an existing 7.1 speaker system setup
Answer:	Dolby Atmos is a speaker configuration incorporating downward firing speakers. You would use the “height” channel speakers as the Dolby Atmos speaker channel, by either installing speakers in the ceiling, or get Dolby Atmos Projection speakers that sit on top of your front surround speakers. You may be able to rig certain speakers as downward firing speakers, however I could consult a Dolby atmos installation guide as they have all the ideal placement specifications for the ideal audio balance/ experience. Dolby Atmos In home theatres is usually a 7.1, 9.1, or 11.1 set up. With 2,4 or up to 6 speakers being placed in the downward firing position e.g ceiling mounted and facing down.

User questions & answers

Question:	can I connect video
Answer:	I'm looking for a way to get old-fashioned raw-wire speakers hooked up to my new Optoma video projector. I can hook my speakers into this receiver, but can I hook up my projector to this receiver. My projector has the following ports: HDMI, VGA in and out, RS232, audio in and out (3.5 mm). Any ideas?
Question:	Is there a way to hook this up to a cd player? (Maybe via an adapter in the headphones jack for an aux cord
Answer:	you can buy an adaptor red and white cable to 3.5 mm jack that connects to any of the channels in the back either tape or aux and run a cable to your cd player should work just fine.
Question:	What kind of antena do i need for fm
Answer:	Well, that should be obvious. You need an FM antenna. These collect frequencies in the FM spectrum.
Question:	V AC
Answer:	I'm on normal US household current (120 volt, alternating current) electric. I have no idea whether 100 volt or 240 volt would be acceptable.

User questions & answers

Question:	can you use a rockville rsg 12 speaker with this receiver
Answer:	I've got this installed in my RV. I don't think it's bridgeable but you could hook up two speakers, L & R, using two of the four channels, and if they were 4 ohm speakers, you would indeed get 100 watts per speaker. It's water resistant, not water proof, so make sure you keep it dry just to be sure. It's a very compact unit and works well for me. Doesn't generate much heat, or draw much power. I'm very happy with my purchase. You can connect directly to it from your phone using bluetooth and play whatever you like.
Question:	Can you connect a powered subwoofer
Answer:	If the amp and speakers are wired correctly and working correctly you should be able to use the black volume control to adjust the volume, or just turn up the gain controls on the amp and adjust the volume from your phone.
Question:	does this have phono inputs
Answer:	Hi, the unit is not designed for mixed mono. Thank you.
Question:	Does this Sony STR-DH100 have an optical cable input
Answer:	No switch. If hooked up correctly all chanels should work.

User questions & answers

Question:	can use it has preamp
Answer:	i have had Yamaha's (RX-V75) and now this Sony. I have had a brief issue, but seemed to be resolved after a firmware update. The general problem appears to be with some of the auto setup of HDMI. This issue does not seem to be particular to the Sony though as My Yamaha has had similar problems. There is an HDMI settting that is supposed to handle the communication via HDMi of all attached devices. The problem appears to be that not everyone implements that auto connection in quite the same way. On my Yamaha I have disabled it. The Sony does auto detect better than I ever seen a deck before (Speaker, HDMI, etc) and it resolved and HDMI handshake issue I was having with my Oppo BD 93 that the Yamaha could not handle (the 3D input signal was taking way to long to be recognized and the TV screen flickered while it though about it).The one issue I ran into was a connection on the speaker post had come loose and could not get the sound to work right again. I had to unhook everything and then re-connect everything and have it re-runit's auto detect feature. Then everything worked fine again and has since that.Sometime auto features are too smart for their own good and a dedicated setup is better.
Question:	Doe's sony strza1100es av audio & video have a remote
Answer:	No - it is not supported
Question:	Do any of the Sony ES have connections for a turntable
Answer:	As of today's date, the HDMI issue has not been resolved by SONY. My recommendation is to look elsewhere for a receiver. I understand from research that ONKYO had a similar problem very early in 2013. However, the difference appears to be that ONKYO has resolved the problem. I returned my SONY 1040 and purchased ONKYO 626. A bit less power, however, I can watch TV without unplugging the receiver every few days just to get it to work.
Question:	Good day, does this system play music cd’s ? how can i purchase a console that has am and fm stations? and what should i purchase? thank you
Answer:	For my setup, before the firmware update, right after I hooked it up to my tv for the first time, the TV's video would constantly turn on, then go black for long periods, it was unusable. I temporarily solved it by using my TV's dvi port and an dvi to hdmi cable. After the firmware update and finally doing the receiver setup the screen going black still occurs, but only about 20% of the time on all inputs, except my ps3, which still exhibits the constant black screen problem. I have a PS3, Roku 3, Chromecast, HTPC connected to a Westinghouse monitor. Called Sony about the problem, and was told to ship, my week old receiver, to them at my own expense, for diagnosis.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do you need a tv to set up pandora or a wireless connection
Answer:	I was wondering too! The one I am replacing was bought from Amazon Jan. 2015. It stated Poland on the Glass, but nothing on the plastic. Now they all seem to state Portugal on the glass portion. I like the BODUM embossed plastic frame, but it is an older model with the flat top and D handle. Even Bodum does updates.
Question:	Are the hook up's for subwoofer is that for a powered sub woofer speaker or a passive
Answer:	Beaker is glass. The handle and the part that the beaker fits into is plastic.
Question:	I plug in an antenna that goes to my outside wireless speakers in the headphone jack, on some receivers this turns off my inside connected speakers
Answer:	I had the other Brazil version. I was able to remove the beaker. VERY CAREFUL, it is in there tight. SOAP and warm water, you should get some movement from it. I wouldn't recommend removing the beaker unless you really have to clean it. If you don't feel comfortable removing the beaker, then I wouldn't.
Question:	How many watts per channel for 8ohm speakers if only using front two , center speaker with sub woofer and no surround sound
Answer:	It is sad, isn't it, that some misguided bean counter at Bodun decided to earn a bonus by replacing a sturdy, metal piece (like my 30 year old Bodun has) with that ridiculous piece of plastic; saving, what? Two cents worth? Well, that was mine. I will take another commenter's advice and be gentle. It is informative that the elaborate pictures in the description do not show this particular piece; apparently they know.

User questions & answers

Question:	Even though there is no subwoofer output, can one be connected anyway
Answer:	NO!! There are line out jacks but they are fixed, not variable. This means when you turn the volume knob up and down, the volume to the subwoofer stays the same level. See page 10 of the manual here: https://usa.yamaha.com/files/download/other_assets/2/794512/web_ZU46020_R-S202_om_UA_En.pdf
Question:	What is the Bluetooth range
Answer:	There are 3 classes of BT devices. The ranges are under 10m (Class3); 10m (Class2) and 100m (Class3). The range you get between two devices will be the range of the least powerful device. If that's a cell phone streaming music, expect less than ten meters. If it is a computer with a Class2 BT radio, expect a solid ten meters. But the only way you will get more than ten meters (30 feet) reliably, is if both devices are Class 3. And portable devices rarely are.
Question:	can i hook up my turmtable as well
Answer:	I have a question more than answer. My turntable is the rather cheap, ION LP mp3 converter, it has a built in preamp, has a pair of red white RCA output. BUT, WHEN I PLUG IT INTO THE #3 RCA PORT, AS INDICATED ON THE PRODUCT PAGE FOR TURNTABLE, the speakers have no sound. Now, my "speaker" is a Yamaha HS5 monitor, it's hooked to the OUT RCA port via a 1/4" jack at the back of the monitor. I suppose I'll have to use proper hi-fi speakers connected via the loose wire ports?
Question:	So can this fit a total of 4 100watt speakers at once OR 4 25watt speakers at most
Answer:	100 "X" multiplied by 4 = 400 watts max, and multiple speakers can be connected to single channels if you have a full understanding of OHM's and how the wattage changes with different connections, but a single speaker on each channel that matches up closely at least in OHM's and watts will sound best, but multiple 25watt speakers would be fine on a 100watt channel, and with 4-100watt channels that can be repeated if desired, but if that's done with high power low ohm speakers, they will over draw power and burn up the reciever/amplifier and all this information is found via browser search, or just go basic and match printed numbers and sound great and dont worry about it burning up because of something you did.
