Does the STR-DH590 support Dolby Atmos?

No. It is a 5.2-channel receiver without Dolby Atmos or DTS:X decoding. For height or overhead channels you need a step-up model.

Can it pass 4K HDR from a streaming box?

Yes. Its HDMI inputs and output support 4K HDR with HDCP 2.2, so current 4K players, consoles and streamers connect directly.

Can I get surround sound with only two speakers?

Yes. S-Force PRO front surround creates a virtual surround effect from a two-speaker setup, though it is less enveloping than real rear speakers.

Does it have Wi-Fi or music streaming apps?

No. It has Bluetooth for streaming from a phone or tablet, but no Wi-Fi, AirPlay, Chromecast or built-in streaming services.

What speakers can I connect?

It drives 5.2 channels and accepts speakers rated 6 to 16 ohms. The front pair uses binding posts; the other three pairs use spring clips.

The receiver, a remote control, an FM wire antenna and a startup guide. Speaker wire and HDMI cables are not included.
