      Hi JeraldJ, Great! We're very happy to hear that this is what you've been looking for in a stereo receiver. 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! Thanks for choosing Sony. -Sam Sony_US

      Hi there,

      Thank you for your review. We are really sorry if the loudness of our STRDH190 didn't live up to your expectations. Because input sources vary in the quality, type, and strength of the signal being received, it is normal for the overall volume to differ from input source to input source. We are not sure what source are you playing on your STRDH190, however, you may try adjusting the tonal balance of the connected speakers by pressing the TREBLE & BASS buttons on the supplied remote control of this receiver to isolate the problem.

      In case you may need more information or technical assistance with our product in the future, you can always contact us and we'll be more than happy to assist you. You may send us an email at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following:

      Hi MMSS, Thank you for the feedback on your experience with your Sony STRDH190 receiver. And we're sorry to hear you're having an issue with the Bluetooth connectivity with your phone. If Bluetooth pairing cannot be done, please follow the troubleshooting steps below:

      Move the BLUETOOTH device closer to
      the receiver (within 1 meter (3.3 feet) of
      the receiver).

      Pairing may not be possible if there are
      other BLUETOOTH devices near the
      receiver. In this case, turn off the other
      BLUETOOTH devices.

      Press BLUETOOTH PAIRING.
      “PAIRING” flashes on the display
      panel.

      Select “STR-DH190” on your phone's display.

      You can also watch the Bluetooth troubleshooting tips on this link for more information:

      Hi jblspeaker, We regret to hear that the unit had to be returned. If you're looking for a more powerful AV receiver, I'd recommend checking out the STRDH590, STRDH790, or STRDN1080 model. I hope you consider our Sony products in the future. Thank you for sharing your feedback. -Sam Sony_US

    Bought this stereo receiver for my 2nd bedroom - it was delivered yesterday. Full retail is 149.99; I opted for an "Open Box - Excellent" model for $122. "Open Box - Excellent " is defined as: "Products in Excellent condition look brand new — with no physical flaws, scratches or scuffs — and include all original parts" Well, let's see. No physical flaws, scratches or scuffs? Nope - has a big ol' dent on the upper back left corner. Includes all original parts? Nope - the FM antenna and instruction manual are missing. And as a bonus, it is Dead On Arrival - it won't even power up. I will be returning this piece of junk as soon as Best Buy opens later this morning.
