Featuring 4k resolution pass-through, high-res audio compatibility, 6 HD inputs and a new intuitive graphical interface, this receiver brings out the best in your music, Blu-ray movies, games and more.
Technology
The heart of your system.
Stream crisp, powerful audio with built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Airplay. With 7.2 channels and 150 watts of power, it’s legendary Sony sound that really connects. Featuring 4K resolution pass-through, high-res audio compatibility, 6 HD inputs and a new intuitive graphical interface, this receiver brings out the best in your music, Blu-ray movies, games and more.
Built for sound.
Borrowing construction and circuitry design cues from our ES line, it all begins with a rigid chassis based on the legendary frame and beam concept. To this structure, we then mount the various components: a high capacity power transformer, custom heat sink, and other specially selected audio-grade components that together add up to class-leading sound quality. For purists, Pure Direct mode preserves signal clarity and detail by switching off unnecessary signal processing circuitry to provide the cleanest possible signal path with minimized electronic interference.
Sweet Sound.
Not only powerful, to deliver impressive multi-channel sound performance. (145W x 7 @ 6 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.9% THD), the STR-DN850 features the best audio technology from both Sony Music and Sony Pictures and can even support Hi-Resolution audio playback (bit rates up to 192k/24-bit WAV/FLAC). Added amplifier functionality allows for configuration flexibility including: speakers A or B, speakers A and B, in addition to Bi-Amp should the scenario call for it.
Wi-Fi Built-in1
Wirelessly connect to your home network and via the integrated DLNA support access music stored on: your computer, network storage device, or even your smartphone. Via built-in music service support13, you can access and enjoy music streaming at its very best-the latest from Pandora, Spotify, Music Unlimited, and tunein. Also AirPlay compatible, you can easily stream your music and music apps from your iPhone/iPod/ iPad or iTunes.
Connect it all with Bluetooth1
The STR-DN850 receiver effortlessly streams music from your smartphone or tablet so nothing is out of reach. Now anyone can be the DJ-no wires, no problem. Bluetooth streaming can even wake the receiver from standby mode to get the party started. Built-in AAC and aptX codec support avoids signal quality loss when streaming music wirelessly.
Well Connected.
Enjoy versatile HD connectivity with five HDMI inputs (up to 4K capable) and connect a Sony PlayStation entertainment system, Blu-ray Disc player, or any other HDMI-capable devices2. Via an MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link) certified HDMI cable, you can even plug-in your smartphone and share favorite personal video clips, music, and more on the big screen complete with big sound3. The front-mounted USB input even allows for easy connectivity and charging with compatible devices1.

Easy Setup, Optimized Use...
Proper system setup and optimization shouldn’t be an ordeal.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
the customization of the speakers is fantastic even with the auto calibration mic, if your not getting enough out of one side then you can change that with a click of the remote. same thing with bass, i have this paired with a BIC america V-1220 12 inch SUBWOOFER and the power and sound is just amazing. im sure there is other receivers that do a better job, but not anywhere near this price range. i paid more for my samsung 1000w complete system and this receiver blows it out of the water.
that said i am using my samsung speakers even though they are 4ohm speakers i have had no issues so far, but i also do not blast the speakers due to that fact.
in clsosing, if it sounds this great with these lower quality speakers i can hardly wait untill i have the ability to buy some SERIOUS speakers.
Something that my family is going to LOVE is the Airplay functionality of this receiver. We have zoned Airplay audio throughout the rest of the house but not in the basement where the home theater is setup. When entertaining we used to have music playing everywhere except where the darts and foosball table are setup. With this receiver, we can Airplay to the basement and it sounds amazing (it should, it has the best speakers in the house). I played darts with my son last night and we listened to music and it was awesome. Airplay will even wake the receiver from sleep so it's as easy as selecting it in Airplay on your iPhone and playing some music. At long last, the entire home has music!
The remote with this receiver is extremely simple but it does the job to get things setup just fine. I use a Harmony Ultimate remote to control the theater setup so the Sony remote will go in the drawer with the rest of the remotes just like previous receiver remotes did.
If you have a completely HDMI-based system this receiver is awesome and should work very well for you. If you have any Component video sources you may need to go to the 1050. Our only Component source was the Wii that still occasionally gets used but I ordered a Wii HDMI adapter and it works great.
I'm very happy with this purchase. I purchased from Amazon Warehouse Deals and cannot believe what a bargain it was. Most radical improvement to my theater since I set it up 10 years ago.
UPDATE JUNE 19, 2016: After six months of what I would consider light use, there is no signal from the HDMI. I called Sony customer service and they had me do a factory reset which fixed the problem, but I had to setup everything again.
UPDATE December 27, 2016: It happened again, there was no signal from the HDMI. I did a factory reset and it works again. So it appears that every 6 months I need to do a factory reset and then setup the receiver all over again. I think I will look for a replacement.
First: the good: I love all the connections on the back. I really like how it looks. It's easy to set up and works nicely with my harmony one remote. The auto room adjustment feature is simple to use and works well.
The bad: Some complaints I have are: I feel like you don't have enough control over the sound. It has like 20 pre-set modes (which Sony calls "sound fields" (concert, 2-speaker stereo, studio, movie, etc.) and they are probably adequate, but sometimes I want to tweak the sound a little. The only equalizers are treble and bass on each speaker. There is no control for the subwoofer independently. My outgoing receiver had that and I used it a lot. Now I have to manually turn the subwoofer up and down. There's no overall equalizer, either. Having said all that, it sounds really good on my relatively cheap speakers. I have found myself defaulting to the PLII modes.
When trying to use the Apple Airplay, the music halted and jerked a lot. Same with playing over Bluetooth from my droid phone. The DNLA worked smoothly, though. I'm not sure what the cause of the halting is. It may be outside the receiver.
I was disappointed that the only music services available are Pandora and radio stations that stream over the internet. Spotify only works if you have premium service and you have to connect using your phone.
Overall: The main reason I bought it was sound quality when watching movies and listening to music I already own, and secondarily to listen to Pandora. I'm very happy with those functions (with the exception of my sense that I'm not in complete control). I also wanted to allow my family to connect with their phones, but that feature doesn't work very well for me because of the halting.

Having gone through all of that I turned to the equalizer and turned the bass up on all the speakers. I originally didn't think this would help as I thought to myself "I don't want the bass coming from my tiny speakers, which aren't built for bass. I want it to come from my Sub-woofer" Well, after my research and fiddling around I realized that turning the bass up on the speakers actually affects the sub. Lesson learned. Hopefully, that helps someone.
One thing I haven't figured out yet and I don't know if it is a problem with the Receiver (bug or by design) or the Playstation 3, but I have connected my Playstation 3 to it via HDMI and I get sound but no picture. My XBOX 360 and XBOX ONE and Computer all work fine - Playstation (Which is SONY) not so much.
