A:AnswerHi there, thanks for your inquiry. Unfortunately, this stereo receiver cannot pick up HD channels. But, this unit supports FM tuner, Bluetooth, phono input for turntable, and multiple audio RCA input ports for your audio devices. Hope this helps! -Sam
A:AnswerHi Needtoknow, thank you for your question. Unfortunately, this unit only supports 2-channel speakers (stereo L and R speakers). You may want to check the mode STR-DN1080 instead as it can support 7ch + Phantom 2ch speakers. ~Earl
A:AnswerProbably not. This is a 2 channel, or a stereo left and right system. You would need a .1 system for the subwoofer. For example: 5.1 or 7.1 etc.
A:AnswerHi Gary, thank you for your inquiry. This will depend on your personal preference. So long as you're connecting speakers that are within the impedance rating of 6-16 ohms then it should work flawlessly with the receiver. But, if you're looking to pair this receiver to a Sony speaker then I would suggest getting a Sony SS-CS5 Bookshelf Speakers. Hope this helps! -Sam
A:AnswerWhile you can pair this receiver with any Bluetooth capable device it is not a surround sound receiver it is a stereo or 2 channel receiver so it will not provide a surround sound experience.
A:AnswerHi Rellor, thank you so much for your inquiry! The STRDH190 has an audio analog output for an active speaker or soundbar connection. If the transmitter of your Sennheiser 175 supports this connection, yes, it will work. I hope this helps! Thanks! - Romeo
A:AnswerI expect that your receiver is defective and should be be replaced under warranty or by BestBuy. The first on I got from BestBuy did not play anything through the speakers and after less than a minute shut itself down. I took it right back and got a replacement that works unbelievably .
A:AnswerHi Andy, thanks for your inquiry. Unfortunately, no. you can only control this receiver via the supplied remote control and by pressing the buttons on the unit itself. The Bluetooth function of this receiver can be connected to a smartphone or tablet so you can listen to your music. Hope this helps! -Sam
A:AnswerHi Tex1, thanks for your inquiry. If your tape deck supports RCA audio component cable connection then you can definitely connect your tape deck to this stereo receiver. Hope this helps! -Sam
A:AnswerI see no way to do this. Since there was no PreAmp out and Amp Inputs I had nowhere to connect my equalizer to the system.
There is a Output on bay 5 but when I tried using that - there was nothing to play through the system and I guess if it did work it would keep looping the signal through the system . . .
A:AnswerHi Musicgirl, thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, you cannot connect a subwoofer that has its own external amp. However, you can connect an active subwoofer to this unit. Please note: Check the subwoofer to determine if it has IN and OUT speaker wire connections. If so, connect the left and right speaker wires from the stereo receiver into the left and right speaker IN on the subwoofer. Then, connect speaker wire from the left and right speaker OUT on the subwoofer to the left and right main speakers. If the subwoofer does not have IN and OUT speaker wire connections, then it will not be compatible with the stereo receiver.
Hope this helps! -Sam
A:AnswerI have just successfully integrated an EQ to my Sony STR-DH190. An inexpensive new $70 EQ. Learning that without the typical Tape Back loop, the EQ was not compatible with this AV receiver.
After researching and attempting a couple work arounds, I am happy to report success. Allow me to explain.
I purchased the Sony STR-DH190 for my front room. I wanted an inexpensive receiver with a Phono input, so I could play vinyl in the main area of the house. This was my main goal. Everything was going well. I just felt like during playback of typical vinyl, I achieved more than enough volume. The Bass and Treble settings were fine for getting some basic sound variance. But there was some definite room for shaping sound to fit good vinyl playback. I realized I did not need to EQ the receiver for all external device playback. It sounded fine for Bluetooth sources and assuming the same for Tape, CD, or MP3 if decide to add.
So I decided to try direct EQ of the Turntable. and only the TT. Success ! As the low level of the TT would not be sufficient as in input for the EQ, I picked up a $30 Phono Preamp. So, turntable to preamp, preamp to EQ (aux input), EQ to Receiver on Input 1. It very much achieved the desired result. No issues with it so far and sound is shaped better than expected. Volume is excellent. No hum or distortion. If this fits your need, I highly recommend. Phono Preamp $30ish. All in all, this is exactly what I hoped for !
