Excellent sound and price is great. Easy to set up

I bought an expensive new HT cabinet and found that it wasn't deep enough to accommodate my Marantz NR1506 receiver. I searched around for an A/V receiver that wasn't as deep and found, among a few others, this Sony STR-DH590. While not quite as feature-rich as the Marantz it has proven a good substitute for it in my 5.1 system. One minor drawback is that Sony's speaker calibration is not as accurate as the Audyssey system on the Marantz. It reported several of the speakers as being much farther away than the actually are. It also only measures from one seating position, unlike the Marantz. There was also some quirkiness with ARC from my LG OLED55B7P so I decided to just use TOSLINK from the TV to the Sony. ARC implementations seem to be poorly implemented on many devices so the issue might be with the TV and not the receiver. I also wish it had a couple more HDMI ports but it hasn't been an issue for me so far. I have the HDTV, LG Blu-ray, TiVo, and Roku all connected and don't anticipate adding anything else. There is no Ethernet or wireless connectivity and therefore no way to do a firmware update if necessary. However, this is to be expected for the price. If you need a compact a/v receiver, I'd recommend considering the Sony.

Highly recommended. ships incredibly fast with the best tracking features I have seen. Product arrived in excellent condition and the instructions are easy to follow setup is a breeze and the sound is fantastic. If you are looking for a decent 5.2 AV Receiver look no further. Sony is a name that has a reputation for quality equipment at a economical price point and this unit is no exception. I get no compensation I just want to pass on my experience because shopping for electronics can be iffy.

Home Theater on a budget. Sony has been making quality products for a long time. This is no different. Plenty of connectivity, power and ease of set up and use. No its not going to satisfy any audiophile but thats ok. This will do a great job for everyone else.

This receiver/amplifier performs flawlessly in my set up. I’m running a cable box, X-box, Apple-TV, and Blue Ray player into it and the set up was as simple as plug and play. It powers five Pioneer shelf and middle-front speakers and an old sub-woofer with power to spare in a large living room. Set up went exactly as described in instructions and adding the additional rear speakers was no problem. This appears to be a quality Sony product at a very reasonable price.

What a great experience! The Geek Squad ( Duncan and Salvador ) worked as a team in setting up our new Sony Receiver. Wow! The sound is awesome with our surround sound. Both Duncan and Salvador were punctual and very thorough on helping us understand the unit. They truly wanted us to have the best experience with our new toy! They were very respectful, knowledgeable and kind to us. We will continue to do business with Best Buy when the customer service is top notch…. Like us was for us!

It works well with my tech wood studio speakers and when I bluetooth it to my tv movies and music always sounds great

This is an excellent piece of equipment for the price. I wasn't interested in all the bells and whistles that it doesn't have anyway, so I didn't have to pay for what I don't use. The mic set up feature for the speakers is automated, once you engage it. It's got 90w rms/channel, 5 channels driven, which is more than ample for most people's needs and it sounds great. One quirk: it doesn't always play nice with my big screen but it's nothing that can't be handled.

works very well and will link up with your ps4 to power down surround sound is great price is affordable and its Bluetooth works well

This was my first purchase ever of a home audio receiver and after reviewing several products I found this product includes many features others didn't and for less money. I'm able to connect my surround sound speakers, a passive and active sub woofer, my playstation, and more. I especially like the assignable audio in fiber port to connect my roku TV audio out so I can route audio from roku apps like prime tv, vudu and many others. Without that feature I'd have to use the TV's built in speakers and that's defeating the purpose of a surround sound system. Very very pleased

got this as an open box and it still works as my PC and sim rig station. Years later it still works. BB, please give me my $400 gift card already. Onkyo and Denon still the best but i don't need that for what i'm using it for. The Onkyo is in the home theater. always buy Onkyo for massive project.

Great product. Easy to use. I like that it automatically changes the settings based on what you are hearing. I don’t know if it’s because I have a Sony Tv as well.

This thing puts out good amounts of power (I'm running it in only a 3.1 configuration, so it has spare capacity), and runs cool, which I really like. The Onkyo TX-SR607 it replaced ran so hot -- all the time -- that I actually kept a laptop cooler fan on top of it because I was worried it was going to die if I didn't. The Bluetooth pairing is hassle-free, as is the auto-calibration. This thing looks good and is easy to use (much more intuitive than my Onkyo was).

Easy connection instructions. Easy setup. I followed the instructions and turned on the power and TV. From there I follwed the instructions shown on TV and was able set up the five speakers plus subwoofer instantly! Then played around with remote to find sound setting that I wanted. This set-up allows me to use my Cable remote without even having to program the cable remote. A step I've always had to do with previous receivers. Puts out more than enough sound. And for my hard of hearing ears, that's plenty!

I was in the market for a new receiver that would pass HDR after I upgraded to a Samsung 65q80t television. My local store was out of the similar Onkyo one so I chose this particular model. So far I'm very happy. Setup was very simple and fast. Sound is good and I like the fast input switching. Everything pairs with my DirecTv remote. I paid 279 and it immediately dropped to 199 less than a week later. Best Buy is supposed to be price adjusting. They were very easy to work with.

4.5 overall rating. Sounds great with a 5.1 system. Easy to sue and set up. Love watching action movies using it. Voices can be a little hard to hear sometimes on the center speaker but I'm assuming there's an adjustment somewhere we can make to fix this.

I replaced an old Sony receiver with the Sony STRDH590 and I was VERY surprised at the clarity/crispness of the sound and additional power. I am using the same speakers, but also changed the center channel, and I am thrilled with the decision! Best Buy had the best price all around, so they will remain my #1 choice for electronics and other home stuff!

I've used this device for a few weeks now and it works exactly like I hoped it would. The setup was quite easy and with the different audio output settings it will definitely give you what you want. I'm currently using this to power two front speakers and the front surround is very good. I was going to try to use a center and two fronts but it wasn't really able to run those effectively without surround speakers so the audio level was too low. That's really the only con I've come up with so far.

Bluetooth, easy on screen setup, and lots of power. Just don't have a bright light by the remote sensor, will cause problems with the remote.

I am very impressed with the audio quality and connectivity of this receiver. I replaced an older Onkyo unit which had great audio capabilities but lacked modern HDMI and Bluetooth inputs. It took me a few minutes with the manual to enable the subwoofer / 3.1 speaker pattern, as the process for doing so is not intuitive, but apart from that setup was a breeze. Unit is very user friendly once set up. Output depends upon speakers, of course, but power is more than adequate for a residential application.
