Hi, with my budget I can buy one of them:
Sony STR-DH750
Onkyo TX-NR626
Denon AVR-1200W

I'm sorry but I am enough inexperienced. Can you establish a ranking of 3 receivers please? What is the best and worst? Can you suggest another receiver 7.1? Thanks

Without looking up the stats, just looking the manufacturers I would say Denon > Sony > Onkyo. Some people might disagree with the last 2 rankings as manufacturers.

Better question would be do they offer all the features you need? What features are the most important for you?

Thanks for your precious news. I'm sorry for my ignorance. For me the quality of the sound and easiness of connection of the speakers are important. In your opinion what features could be more important than others? I will use it with Sony TV 65".

Sadly those receivers are not in my italian market. However my budget is around 300-350 euro.
Unfortunately in Europe receivers are much more expensive than USA. ;) THANKS

I've never tried the Sony, so I can't say, Denon has Audyssey MultEQ XT and Sony Does Not.

There really is no "better". Only preference.

I'd say sound wise they are all fairly comparable. Most of us here have had very good experience with Denon products. The Denon 2802 I bought in 2003 is still going strong.

Whatever you choose, make sure it's got enough of the inputs you need.

Thanks for your sensible suggestions. If I should buy Sony STR-DH750, where have I to connect the rear speaker please? May be I have to place them where I have put the arrow on the pic on the first panel? https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/58542060/Screening/Sony Ampli.jpg
On the "Surround" connexions, on second panel, what have I to connect?
Thanks a lot.

PS: Can you suggest me a good but cheap active subwoofer?

It's really pretty clear from that picture.

Your side surrounds go to the "surround" jacks

Your rear surrounds connect to the "surround back" connections.

Perhaps you should find some local assistance in hooking this up.

As markw mentioned, reading the manual is important if you are inexperienced.
If you are planning to use all 7 channels, plus the sub, the manual should show you the speaker setup menu. Someplace there you will select yes or no that the channel has a speaker connected.
Another part will have distance information to each speaker from the main listening position and whether the speaker is small( cannot do low frequencies well at all), or large if it can.

Then, in the end, you will find the a menu to level match all channels or may be called calibration. Need to perform this for a good setup; you will need an SPL meter or the built in mic if it has this as an auto setup. Important to read manual.

The last question. I hope you can reply me quickly please because I need to buy a receiver now. I have just found this new receiver with a good price: Onkyo TX-NR545. In your opinion is it a good receiver? Is it good like Denon AVR-1200W? Which receiver would you buy between Onkyo TX-NR545 and Sony STR-DH750? Thanks again one.

Onkyo TX-NR545

Yes, you are right. I'm sorry for it. I did a post on another thread but as nobody answered me I did anoither post here because I have so little time to buy it. But still I don't know if in your opinion is better Onkyo TX-NR545 and Sony STR-DH750. I have just notices Sony was shipped on 2014, Onkyo was shipped some months ago.

Just to confuse the issue, why did you not include Yamaha?
