I think if you are using 4k at 120hz you need 8k. Otherwise 4k limited to 60.

So no 8k content, just enhanced 4k content refresh rate is why I need this lol

Quote from Second2nd :
Same exact for me - TSR-7850 refurb from Woot, 3 years ago. The Front L/R terminals no longer work, zero output from my speakers. Center is fine. I tried a work around using the Bi-amp mode and that also isn't working. The Surround terminals still work, however, I only have a FCR set up for now, no surrounds.

This problem is in addition to the receiver going into protection mode every other time it's powered off. And then even then it won't want to turn on many times. It's been a headache.
That stinks. Must have gotten a bad one. I have had zero issues with mine. Love the phone app to control it as well. I use it with 5.1 on the main zone as my HT and zone 2 as a whole house receiver for speakers all over the house (running through a speaker selection box).

I had a Sony a long time ago (when Dolby Digital first came out) and liked it.

Is this the not-quite-ES version of the ES STR-AZ1000ES? It sure seems like it.

Can this unit do multizone AV, so two devices can play separately to two screens at the same time?

Actually, this looks to be IDENTICAL to ES STR-AZ1000ES [crutchfield.com], listed at $1100.

I don't think it's 8k content as much as it's 4k@120Hz. They rate them at what resolution they can do 60Hz, so this receiver does 8k@60Hz. If it can do 8k@60Hz, then it also means it can do 1/2 the rez at twice the speed.

As far as I am aware, there is no content being produced at 8k. Maybe a PC could do true 8k output, but then you'd need an 8k TV, which as far as I am aware does not exist.

Good rule of thumb is that if you have to ask why you need it, you probably don't.

One good reasons why others may want it is that AVRs capable of supporting 8k are often capable of supporting higher and variable refresh rates for gaming. Another is that when you buy an AVR you generally expect it to last 10 years or more. So you want to get something that's fairly futureproof.

So say you have a 4K AVR you're happy with, and you're not a competitive gamer, then there's not a good reason to "upgrade" to an 8K one. Keep on truckin' with what you got. However, if your old AVR just kicked the bucket, or you're looking to get your first one, getting an 8K model makes sense b/c you'll be using it for many years to come.

Quote from dannydel :
I would get if the recent reviews are good, as it seems the quality varies from batch to batch
From what I have seen, Sony had a history of refreshing their av receiver line every year or two, typically incrementing on the previous year.

Over the past few years (during COVID), they didn't release anything new in this space. The AV forums had several people even speculating whether Sony might be getting out of it.

Then this new updated model line came out earlier this year (to some surprise) - new design that while it may look similar, very different architecture internally than they would typically have done.

They seemed to have had an initial issue on the factory line, with several reports of whining. More recent reports suggest this was consistently fixed, with Sony support replacing faulty units for those impacted. Being a first model year, there may be other oddities they fix through firmware - I haven't heard anything else significant though.

Anyhow, there still may be some faulty stock floating around out there, though all of this seemed to play out earlier this summer.

If I were in the market for a home av receiver in this price range, I would have no issue considering this on my list. The immersive object 3D sound seems to be where the big engineering updates went, with some solid reviews (I haven't heard it myself yet). I've had Onkyo, Pioneer, Kenwood, and arcam receivers that I enjoyed fail way to early. While not always considered quite as good in some of the more eccentric av circles, never had a Sony one prematurely die yet. And I have had Sony release occasional firmware updates literally years after release.

Worst case, which time suggests should be increasingly unlikely, you get an early factory one with the issue and return it, or call Sony for a factory replacement known to be fixed.

Good luck!

Amazon made $10 billion in profit in the last quarter (July - September). Walmart - $2 billion. I would rather give my business to the little guys (not Walmart) to have an alternative other than Amazon.

How does this compare to Denon?

For the last 20 years I keep buying Denons that are listed as $800 and half off = $400

Result: I've only listened to $400 Denons for the last 20 years.

Prices are getting better but a 7.2 receiver should be $500 max. Once the economy eventually tanks the prices of these things will collapse bigly.

Here is a more detailed "feature" comparison, they are not identical.

It's a marketing ploy
There's really no necessary of routing a video signal through your sound system.(Except maybe convenience)
Unless you have an upper level/elite unit that would truly upscale/upconvert lower quality signals. It would be best to spend the money on a higher quality TV or monitor.

Just to clarify/add you can also make sure the AVR will allow a full pass through which is available on even mid level units.

People argue running through an AVR can affect quality.
It all starts with content, if that's inferior won't make any significant difference(if at all) in my experience.
