Now finally with Bluetooth!

When the AV receiver from Sony you get the feeling that each new generation of devices always gets a few features draufgesetzt. Actually yes good and right, but these are supplements that were already standard with other manufacturers in the past few years there. The new AV STR-DH750 Bolide takes time as all of its current siblings - now also with Bluetooth and this even with NFC quick connectors. Why not earlier? Well, knowing only the developers at Sony, where it should have been so even with the previous generation of devices that feature abroad (USA). Howsoever

Otherwise, you get the email device (dimensions 430 x 156 x 329.4 mm, Weight: 8 kg) commanded usual excellent sound quality. Apart from undistorted output options in stereo and multi-channel sound (optional depending on the speaker setup configurable from 2.0 through 5.1 to 7.2) are obtained various Upmix programs such as Pro Logic, Neo-DTS and of course again the popular Sony's HD Digital Cinema Sound mode, which ensures a particularly dynamic surround experience. In addition, there are of course still more features, such as night mode (dynamic is compressed so that it so is not noisy at night with dynamic jumps but only works with Dolby Digital really reliable) or the portable mode the streamed music or MP3 files sound enhances , Taugt all what? Yes, definitely, this is proven and well-known Sony technology. Everything can be easily adjusted via the simple graphical user interface, with a supplied setup microphone during the automatic calibration of boxes helps.

Can decode the amplifier just about everything: DTS-HD / Dolby TrueHD / Dolby Digital + / Dolby Digital / DTS / DTS-ES (Matrix 6.1 / Discrete 6.1) / Dolby Digital EX / PCM, etc.
In addition, the new product family also offers playback of hi-res audio (24-bit / 96 kHz and 24 bit / 192 kHz), but what I lack appropriate music CDs could not test.

A total of four devices can be connected via HDMI, it may spend all 3D and even 4K signals can be looped through the DH750. However, there is only one HDMI output. Owner of TV and Beamer should therefore consider whether they suffice that. Additionally, there is a composite monitor output; two optical audio inputs; a coaxial audio input; again four analog Audioeingäng (RCA); and forward a headphone output plus a USB port for connecting a USB stick with music files (formats: MP3, WMA, AAC and WAV) for direct playback via the receiver.

One thing needs to be mentioned separately: Once in the last generation, the receiver remotes were bizarre in size and completely overloaded especially in the top models Sony has now settled here a completely new remote control. This is small and manageable, perhaps again no visible noble beauty, but in handling, feel and features quite a boost to its predecessors.

Wi-Fi or LAN access, the STR-DH750 not, but honestly: Do you need the absolutely?
All current Blu-ray player and of course smart TVs bring usually with many network functions and with Bluetooth can now quite regularly every BT-enabled player, such as smartphones or tablets to dock easily via radio. Internet Radio, Spotify, etc and of course, your music collection can then easily play wirelessly to the receiver. More is needed because it really does not, right? Sony has to play via Bluetooth donated even two apps (both OS and for Android). This, although I have loaded me times, but it definitely goes without when the connection is established again.

Conclusion: Sony has once again packed to a few welcome features of the new model generation of its AV receiver and therefore serves a very successful product line anyway. Otherwise, expects especially the proven Sony surround sound, which is of course not have to do without stereo. Powerful 145 watts into 6 ohms for all channels are ready to offer the home entertainment pleasure even the neighbors can. Who does not need a network connection and makes do with an HDMI output, comes here fully at its expense. A clear recommendation.
