    Have had this for a short while now. Other than the fact that it runs VERY hot, and a few minor issues, I have been satisfied with the purchase and price that I bought it at. I can heartily recommend this Receiver (especially if you can find it on sale) as an "Entry level"/budget receiver.

      Hi GrandMaColleen,

      Thanks for sharing your experience so far with your STR-DH590 5.2Ch AV Receiver. Choosing this AV Receiver will definitely be worth it. We're delighted to hear you are enjoying the outstanding sound quality of this receiver. We apologize that the unit gets heat so much. The audio system generates heat (even at low volume) due to circuit processing, and the area around the heat radiation holes on the top or back can become hot. The System may become even hotter depending on usage. To make sure heat is radiated efficiently, check the following:

      • Don't put the unit in a rack
      • Don't close or cover the heat radiation holes on the back or side of the unit
      • Keep the unit at least 10 centimeters (3.94 inches) away from any wall or other objects

      At Sony we strive to put forward the best possible products for our customers. Thank you so much for your purchase and for choosing Sony! -Jess Sony_US

    Pros - easy to set up - sounds nice and comes with a remote Cons - annoying pop up screen every time you start the device - difficult to change names of input with limitation on characters. Much of the fine tuning options do not display on screen rather they only show in the tiny reads out on the device in cryptic language.

    Upgraded my 10year old Sony Receiver to this one. It seems to be more user friendly. The only reason for the upgrade was to add the digital optical audio input/output, and the Bluetooth option is really convenient too.
