Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a great entry level Audio Receiver. It offers robust sound with 4 stereo inputs, 3.5 mm input along with strong stereo output. I especially appreciate that it lets you wirelessly stream from Bluetooth equipped devices. An additional plus is that it has the capability of FM radio with 30-preset stations. If you are on a budget and need a low-cost receiver that has robust capabilities to enhance your studio equipment, then this very well may be the receiver for you!

Ive been an audiophile nearly my entire life. So when I needed a computer audio system, I was not going to use typical 'computer speakers' Having an extra pair of small 2 way monitors was going to use those, But they require an external amp. But I didn't want to spend a ton of money on this. Started w/ cheap Chinese class D amp. I worked, but sounded pretty lousy & eventually broke, so started looking for a 'real' amp....again on a budget. So I found this. Never auditioned, but SONY makes quality products so why not. Now I have interconnect cables in my main audio rig that cost more than this amp, so not expected much. Wow, it actually sounds pretty great. Doesn't have the soundstage capability of a high end amp but sound is balanced and does not induce 'ear fatigue, unlike a lot of mass market gear. Which is related more to a harshest in the treble, more than simple distortion. It has adequate power to drive my fairly inefficient speakers to satisfy levels in a near field setup. Only think I wish it had were proper speaker binding post instead. of spring loaded type.....hence my 4 star rating. I'd trade features like Bluetooth & phono in for this change. (or pay a bit more) Oh & be nice id had line level subwoofer output. But I'm really happy overall. Nice fast shipping by BB too.

Budget quality stereo receiver. No bells and no whistles. Just basic receiver/amp combo. Works good. Older receivers from back in the day are my first choice but this does the job if you don’t have one.

Syncs up nicely with my turntable. Simple to use, great sound quality. Would recommend. Best Buy made the purchase process issue free. They should carry more stereo equipment in store though. Don't like having to order and wait on everything.

After searching for a receiver and reading for what seemed like months I found the Sony - 2.0-Ch. Stereo Receiver with Bluetooth. I wanted something that would bring out the highs and lows of all music and this is it. What was most important to me was to bring back the 60s and 70s sound that I once new. Thank you for the great surprise at a very good price.

The receiver was easy to install. The controls are obvious and the sound was very good. Love the blue tooth connectivity. I am very happy with this product.

Recently set up a home stereo system.  Receiver: Sony STR-DH190Turntable: Audio-Technica AT-LP120XTB-USB-CRCD Player: Onkyo C-7030Speakers: Klipsch Synergy F-300 I used the direct out from the receiver into a Vizio SB3851-CO surround sound system to use the subwoofer to pick up any lows the Klipsch speakers missed.  All I can say is wow! This system sounds incredible. I'm not a techie but I did my research when purchasing these components. I can definitely tell a difference in sound quality, volume and dynamics.  This receiver paired with a quality turntable and cd player brings out nuances that I've never heard. I can't speak to the longevity of this device but so far I'm more than satisfied.  If you're on the fence, don't be. This device is worth every penny.

I hooked up a two pairs of cheap, but compatible speakers to this receiver (one in front of room by Television, one in rear near PC monitor), and tested the sound of the FM Tuner. With a little positioning of the antenna, I managed to get at least one or two decent stations (I didn't exhaustively search). The sound quality was at least as good as you would expect, though I can't really rate the sound as the speakers do not come with the item. I did notice if i turned up sound too quickly, it popped up a 'protect' message on the screen, I'm not sure - that may be the way I wired the speakers (may need to make the stripped portion shorter so there is less exposed cable, possibly have a short as-is). I've now been playing consistently at a 'soft' but comfortable volume of about 21, and what I've been loving about it, is with the speakers off the floor (and no bass speaker) the sounds seems to stay in the room I'm in and not travel to other rooms in the house as easily - less disturbing others, more privacy). While I am not certain what the price of the system is, for what I paid for it no question it was a good find. If you see me checking 'no' to i would recommend it to a friend, that is just me saying that in general, I do not personally recommend products to friends (though, it has happened on occasion; but never 'out of the blue' selling to someone).

Good stereo receiver. Has bluetooth but no WIFI . Also its a 2 channel unit with no dedicated sub out. There is a way around that though so you can possibly add a sub provided your sub has a crossover and speaker wire "ins". This stereo also has a phono input. Connects to my phone within 3 seconds. And i can turn on the sony with my phone.

i purchased this reciever for a small turntable system,i have many different high end speakers and to my surprise this budget amp has no problem pushing any speaker i feed it.dont overlook this sony,for the price its an absolute beast way to go sony.

Was not working property, could not get radio stations to stop ,would continue to scan n never stop at a clear station.

This is a good inexpensive receiver that has just about everything you need with a simple set up process. But it may be a little too simple. It has a special jack for a phonograph although it doesn’t seem necessary as there are three different alternative input jacks. The problems encountered have to do with the very feeble and someone in effective antenna which is simply one small double wire wire that delivers static to FM radio transmissions. There is no opportunity to upgrade the antenna because there is no coaxial alternative and the plug is very nonstandard and very proprietary. The main reason that I gave this a three star is that there is no bass or treble adjustment at all. You are stuck with whatever the box delivers. This problem is particularly pronounced when using the phonograph which comes through imbalanced with very low bass.

This receiver works great. One of the reasons i love this is because it works well with other brands.

Fit the need for an old installed wired speaker system. Easy to use. Replaced my 50 year old Sony which finally burned out.

Works great. Some tape residue left on the top and the screen from where the remote was taped to the receiver, but I bought it open box so overall I wasn't too upset

I bought this for the blue tooth as my older Pioneer setup didn't have it. Everything works perfectly as advertised but only one thing wasn't right. The way they advertise the wattage is misleading and couldn't push my 12 inch woofers on my tower speakers. The bass is hard hitting but not with the airy, rich sound of my older system. You will need an equalizer to maybe fix it but not possible with this unit. To get that sound you will have to spend some cash and go with Cambridge or the other higher end integrated systems. I am returning this and just adding a blue tooth adapter for now. You can wire in an active subwoofer on this and improve the sound but will cost another 2 bills to do it. I already own the Sony X10 bookshelf system and that is what this receiver sounds like. If you ever owned a true hi fi system you will know what I'm talking about.

I've owned this for 2 years +. Still sounds awesome. Bluetooth works well. Only issue is that an audio technica turntable sounds horrible. That isn't an issue of the receiver, it's an issue of audio technica making junk nowadays.

Nice sound for the price. Easy set up. Got this for a small room, needed to replace my old one.

I Love this Receiver!! Turn the bluetooth on your phone and it automatically turns the receiver on. Good sound and hooked up to our surround sound is even better!!!

Traditional stereo amp with phono input, but with Bluetooth. Remote control for those who care. Great receiver!
