    Purchased to replace a 28 year old Sony receiver that bit the dust. Best Buy not only had it in stock for same day pickup, but also had the best price for it that I could find, either locally or on the internet. The whole process was very easy from purchase, pickup and the set up, all much quicker than I expected. After a month of using, we are very pleased with the sound quality and the performance of the Sony STRDH190. So, all in all, it was a great purchase.

    Just enough power for the the record player. 2 channel 100w+100w Bluetooth capabilities Inegrated FM Tuner 6 audio inputs Perfect for a nice vinyl spinning experience. Not necessarily meant for loud parties,but great for your favorite atmospheric pleasures. Great price.

      Hi RobertPS4,

      We’re happy to hear you are enjoying your STR-DH190 Stereo receiver with Bluetooth. Whether you choose to enjoy the warm sound of vinyl via the phono input , or stream music from your digital music collection, you’ve found a perfect match. Don’t forget the receiver’s A=B function lets you connect two pairs of speakers. You can easily switch between A or B or use them all together at the same time. When you factor in the low-profile design, we’re sure you’ve found the flexibility and performance you’ve been looking for!

      Thank you for choosing Sony!

    There is no much I can say about this amp since it has been consistently highly-rated by its buyers or users. It gives what I want at this price: bluetooth, phono, A+B speakers, FM radio which is adequate in today's telecommunication conditions, even headphone input. The only trouble for me is the connection with speakers and I expect Sony to switch the current type to the banana one.

    My 1994 stereo receiver malfunctioned, so after seeing the amazing reviews, purchased this. Plugged my old speakers in & was very happy w/ the sound! Unfortunately read in the manual 6 or 8ohm speakers & lo & behold mine are 4ohm & apparently that could make the unit overheat, so after reading reviews, bought the Sony SSCS5 speakers which are great as well. I suspect I probably could have gotten away w/ continuing to use my 4ohm speakers w/ this; but "experts" on YouTube said it could shorten the life of the stereo receiver. So there 'ya have it, folks! Oh, just one more thing-LOVE that you don't need a separate pre-amp to plug in turntable. It comes built in.

    Purchased this to replace an old stereo that finally gave up the ghost. I wanted something with a Bluetooth input and several inputs to support all my legacy equipment and this met my needs and for a great price. If there were one thing I would have liked is to not have the headphone jack cut off the speakers. I am hearing impaired and sometime like to listen to with headphones when doing so my wife is unable to enjoy the music as when you plug in the headphone jack it cuts off the speaker output.

    I needed to replace my receiver because my old one (a Sony str 6046A) was a holdover from college forty years ago. The Bluetooth feature is handy. Take the time to learn how to navigate the menu. I needed a receiver with phono inputs to keep up with my new Grado Gold II MM cartridge. Nice easy connections. Very happy with it.

    This receiver replaced a Pioneer that had many bells and whistles. This unit does the same in a somewhat smaller frame and most importantly has the separate inputs for phono. It has input for two sets of speakers, A, B, A/B, or OFF that we find convenient. And the BT connection is a definite plus that the older Pioneer did not have. While not a refined audiophile, this unit works and sounds great with a very user-friendly remote. We have the phono, CD, and tape deck hooked up with room for two additional connections. Two-year warranty is certainly more than most electronics offer. I did take the FM antenna with the tiny, phone plug type connector and spliced the opposite end to a coax cable for improved FM reception. I very highly recommend this receiver, and it's at a very fair price point.

    Just a stereo receiver, but a very nice one. It's not intended for home theater use, but that wasn't what I needed. It drives my old Advent speakers nicely, and even has bluetooth, so you can listen to it through a bluetooth device like an Alexa. It even has surprisingly good FM radio reception with just the single wire FM antenna that comes with it. I live on the fringe of the Pittsburgh PA FM coverage area, and have never had good FM reception on other receivers or radios, but this one even picks up WQED-FM classial music station with just the supplied FM antenna hanging on a nearby shelf. I was impressed.

    My 35 year old amp finally died. I have a wonderful pair of Polk Audio speakers that I want to stream music to using an Amazon Echo Dot. I needed a replacement amp with enough power to drive them. This receiver is doing that just fine. At some point, I may use the bluetooth to stream from other devices. I'm disappointed that there is no way to adjust balance between speakers. The receiver has FM (no AM), phono inputs (which I may use if I ever get around to digitizing my album collection), and pairs of RCA plugs that look like they would work for connecting and recording to a tape deck. I would recommend this to a friend who had the same use case, but would suggest they spend a little more if they want to use it as the heart of a home audio setup.

    It is a simple 2 Channel amp that does what is is supposed to do. Phono/Bluetooth/Line all work great. it has a simple "bass/treble" EQ and impedance settings and that is it in terms of settings. Only minor complaint is the antenna they provide for FM radio wasn't sufficient to get decent reception. That could be specific to my location though.

      That's great to hear, ChristopherA! We're glad you're happy with your purchase. As for the antenna, the availability of stations depend on your location and also how you set up your antenna. Make sure to keep your device's firmware up to date to enjoy all its features. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Craig Sony_US
