A:AnswerHi mc1975,
It will still depend on the source you are playing. Also, the max sound level your system will be able to achieve will depend mainly on the efficiency and power handling capacity of your speakers. We recommend connecting wired speakers with a nominal impedance of 6 ohms to 16 ohms.

A:AnswerFirst of all, Cerwin Vega speakers tend to be pretty efficient. Whether or not you will be able to attain maximum output level driving them with a 145 watt receiver depends on if that 300 watt speaker rating is peak or RMS, If the rating is peak, then this receiver would power them to their practical limit. Even if the speaker rating is 300 watts RMS, doubling the power of your amplifier would only give you a 3 dB net gain in maximum sound pressure level. (Psychoacousticly speaking, you need a gain of 10 dB to make it sound twice as loud). In either case, the Sony STR-DH590 sounds like a pretty good fit.
In establishing your practical maximum audio level, be careful to not drive your system 'into the red'. Audible distortion can be caused by overdriving your speakers, or by driving your amplifier past its 'clipping' point. The latter (clipping distortion) is particularly damaging to loudspeakers. If you begin to hear audible distortion, reduce the volume until the distortion dissapears. Hope that this has been helpful.
A:AnswerAs long as it uses the 2 wire cables (red&black) it will work... you may need to check and see what the power ratings are and if they aren't rated for the max power this receiver is capable of you just need to keep the volume down a little.
A:AnswerThe difference is that the "multi-channel stereo" mode will add simulated ambience to a stereo sound source by utilizing the speakers of your surround system. If your system has only two speakers, choose "2 channel" sound. If you have a multi-channel speaker setup, then listen to both settings and choose the one you prefer.
A:AnswerYes, it will handle 100w per speaker quite well. I have 2 Bose shelf speakers and 1 Yamaha Center speaker all rated 100w or more and they sound great. No problem. The Sony Amp is great. Love it!
A:AnswerHi Vkvijay,
Thanks for your inquiry. You can connect speakers with an impedance of 6-16ohms. Speakers are also connected via standard speaker wires (bare wire). You may want to check the specifications of your speakers.

A:AnswerI just replaced my old Yamaha receiver so I could have bluetooth capabilities. Hooked up my 5 existing speakers and subwoofer and it worked out great.
A:AnswerHi Adam,
No, there are no Sony app remote control for this AV receiver. We recommend using the supplied remote control when using its function.

A:AnswerI would do two wall speakers, center and sub. Center is definitely needed for clear voice and will make a huge difference. Sub will give you that nice bass and movie sound. I know I probably gave you more than what you asked for but just trying to help. 2 speakers in the front with the center, 2 in the opposite side with sub. That’s my setup.
A:AnswerHi BobHope, thank you so much for your inquiry. This unit only supports a wired speaker connection. However, there are third-party wireless audio adapter kits available that can make any Sony speaker wireless. Please note that we cannot guarantee the full operation and functionality of any third-party accessories to our product. I hope this helps! Thanks! - Romeo
A:AnswerHi David1943, thank you so much for your inquiry! Are you referring to the eARC? If yes, we are sorry, but the STRDH590 doesn't support this function. You may want to consider getting this model, STR-DH790, which has this feature. I hope this helps! Thanks! - Romeo
