This Sony STRDH130 stereo receiver features an AM/FM radio with 60 station presets, so you can easily find and enjoy your favorite radio programming. Speaker A/B switching helps simplify operation.
Q: Can a turntable be connected to this system?
A: Yes, a TurnTable can be connected to any of the Analog Audio Input ports on the Sony STRDH130 Receiver. However, the turntable signal will need amplification from an external pre-amplifier (or an inline amplifier) as this Receiver does not have a PHONO input.
Q: What's the difference between a stereo reciever and a pre-amp?
A: A stereo receiver bundles an AM/FM tuner, amplifier, and various stereo inputs. Some also include a preamp. A preamp is a mini amplifier, and usually features an equalizer. A separate preamp is usually only necessary when using a phonograph (record player). This is because a phonograph usually has a sound output of around 2 milliwatts, but most amplifiers and receivers expect it to be around 200 milliwatts. The preamp bridges the gap, however some receivers such as the Insignia NS-R2001, have a phono input, and therefore do not require a separate preamp. (I don't recommend this receiver, because it is of overall low quality.) I might also suggest that you avoid PylePro products like the plague; they are very low quality, and anything but "Pro". I'd also throw Pyramid (owned by Pyle) and Sherwood products in the same category.
Q: Will this unit power 4 speakers?
A: yes, it is set up for 2 sets of 2 each speakers.
A: Yes, you can connect your CDPCE500 to this stereo receiver's audio in and playback from either the USB flash drive or CD on the disc changer.
Q: Does this unit have seperate bass and treble controls?
A: Yes, the Receiver “STRDH130” has the feature of changing the BASS and the TREBLE options. The BASS +/- and the TREBLE +/- buttons are available on the front panel of the unit and the same buttons are also available on the supplied remote control.
Q: Does STR DH 130 play both A and B speakers simultaneously?
A: The Sony STRDH130 A/V Receiver can output the sound from both the A and B Speakers simultaneously. There is a Speakers (OFF/A/B/A+B) button located at its front panel for enabling this option.
Q: Can you plug an aux cord into this?
A: Yes, the Sony STRDH130 Receiver has a Portable Input port at the rear panel where an Aux cord can be connected.
Q: Where is the subwoofer hookup if any? Im new to this whole audio thing
A: Hi Ty, This specific model doesn't support subwoofers. Please check another model. Thanks, >Joffrey
