Hi TiGEO, Thanks for your inquiry. The STR-DH590 5.2ch Home Theater AV Receiver doesn't support a soundbar connection. Typically, soundbars are designed to be connected directly to a TV to improve the TV's audio quality and are not commonly connected to AV receivers like the STR-DH790, as they serve a similar purpose in providing audio amplification and processing. We recommend connecting wired speakers with a nominal impedance of 6 ohms to 16 ohms. Here are some recommended Sony speakers that can be paired with the STR-DH590: • Sony SSCS3 3-Way Floor-Standing Speaker - These speakers have a powerful bass response and clear, detailed highs that make them ideal for use as front speakers in a home theater setup. • Sony SSCS5 3-Way Bookshelf Speaker - These compact speakers deliver big sound for their size, making them a great choice for use as rear speakers in a surround sound system. • Sony SSCS8 2-way 3-driver Center Channel Speaker - This speaker delivers an unprecedented and real audio experience, with a soundstage so expansive you can feel the energy and passion of the original performance. • Sony SSCSE Dolby Atmos Enabled Speakers - These speakers are designed to deliver immersive, three-dimensional sound, and can be used as height speakers in a Dolby Atmos setup. You may also want to consider checking this model, STR-DH190 Bluetooth stereo receiver which has an audio analog output for an active speaker or soundbar connection. I hope this helps! Regards, Jess
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This receiver has a built in amplifier for every channel except for the subwoofer(s) so if you are thinking about going with a sound bar I can't see how this unit would be necessary for you as sound bars typically provide their own amplification and subwoofer output. To get the most out of a unit like this and be using it as intended you would be looking for 5 individual speakers (front left+right+center+surround left+right) and a powered subwoofer. I'm not looking at the specs right now but I believe this receiver puts out 120 watts per channel so for example in my setup all of my speakers are 100 watts maximum and they sound great. My subwoofer is a 12" with it's own power of 300 watts and it's MORE than enough. Hope this helps!
