    Bought the strsdh130 to connect my Sony CD player to Polk speakers that are 23 years old. Works well. Radio reception in my area is awful, but the local am and fm stations come in well. The receiver was on sale for $99.99. I had a $10 rewards coupon, so I bought it for $90! Great bang for the buck!

    The FM/AM tuner of this receiver makes no sense! It is impossible to fine-tune. Perhaps you can do this better with the remote, but you shouldn't have to use a remote to easily select the stations you need.

    Not for "main" stereo system

    If it weren't for having to get the remote for speaker balance, etc, I would've given it a higher rating. It's a low power unit with an equally low price point. I you're hooking up a big system with "many" speakers, you may want to look elsewhere. I just use it in my computer room for background music. It doesn't have a phono input, so you'll have to use a pre-amp.

    This was perfect for my needs. It has great sound and many features. I was able to hook up all of my components and the 3.5 input is great for mp3/phone inputs. It's programmable with the remote. I can't say enough good things about this unit.

    This was purchased to replace a 30 year old stereo receiver whose sound quality had deteriorated. I had two sets of speakers and a CD player I wanted to continue to use. I did not want to move up to 5.1, which would have required additional equipment purchases. Just wanted a basic stereo which would drive the speakers I already had. This unit has filled the bill nearly perfectly. The sound quality is excellent, I'm very happy that my good quality speakers can perform once again. An added bonus was the ability to hook up audio from the TV, and also to be able to connect an ipod, although the sound levels from the ipod are rather low and require the volume to be significantly increased. All in all, this unit does just what I wanted it to, and I am very pleased. Also, the radio reception (both AM and FM) is far better than my old unit.
