For genuine cinema sound to match the lifelike picture quality, connect these two together and you’ll hear startling clarity all around you. The DH790’s support for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X allows you to fill the room with sounds above and around you, such as lightning crackling in the sky, or sirens wailing past you through city streets, thanks to your 5.1.2 channel set-up.

Movies and more

Easy setup

Both the X700 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Player and the DH790 AV Receiver have slim, compact bodies that fit seamlessly into your home.

Designed with the average living room in mind, the DH790 makes it easy to figure out your speaker setup thanks to its Advanced D.C.A.C (Digital Cinema Auto Calibration) automatic speaker setup system. With the use of a plug-in provided microphone, the Advanced D.C.A.C uses a series of test tones to determine the proper speaker levels, based on the detected placement of speakers in relation to the acoustical properties of your room.

The UBP-X700 model will be priced at approximately €270 /£270 and available from January 2018.

The STR-DH790 model will be available from spring 2018.
