Introduction
Sometimes you can tell a home theater system’s qualities from the moment you get it up and running. Some packages will struggle to deliver, while others will have a synergy that works. The HT-S790 7.1-channel A/V surround home theater receiver/speaker package falls into the latter category, with a combination of controlled power, advanced processing and superior functionality. By having an audio engineering reference point to start at—this system is built on Onkyo’s Wide Range Amplifier Technology (WRAT)—it’s possible to build a system that’s going to authentically recreate the cinematic experience in your own home. Any system worth its price tag should be compatible with the latest formats: the HT-S790 brings you the best DTS® and Dolby® Digital surround formats on offer, including the capability to play back those encoded on the upcoming high-definition DVD discs. Even then, you’re only scratching the surface of this package’s potential. With multi-component connectivity; fine-tuning capabilities; audio refinements and exclusive Onkyo speaker developments, the HT-S790 is a faultless solution that brings superior movies and music to your home.
