    Amazing! I wondered why my Best Buy had 15 in stock. WOW!; This unit ROCKS. I hooked it up to my old Radio Shack Mach 3’s that have Rockford Fosgate 15” Woofers. I needed an amp that was 6ohm stable. I bought 2 on sale. Surprised isn’t the word. I run it HARD! It gets hot. I use a small fan to help keep it from burning up. The 2 year warranty shows you how confident they are in this product. For $150, this out-performs $600 amps. Buy it, you WON’T be disappointed…

    Needed a receiver in my home gym to power up some old speakers I had laying around Pros- Price ($99), Bluetooth, Ease of Use , Set it up and started playing music in 5 minutes Cons- Size . Not really a Con, but we are spoiled now with portable speakers and I haven't used a receiver in 10+ years. Smaller than what I had though for sure

      Hi Size, We're glad to hear you feel that the Bluetooth feature and ease of use of the STRDH190 is worth its price.
      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

    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.

    All I needed was a receiver that had Bluetooth to stream from my iPhone & computer to practice my music with & this receiver is absolutely excellent for my use. All the connections one needs, great sound, user friendly. Love the remote, never have to get off my seat to do what I need to do as far as music. Play pedal steel. Would recommend.

    I was looking for an inexpensive but quality receiver to replace my 40 year old Hitachi solid state receiver which would have cost a small fortune to refurbish. Totally surprised by the sound, the features (including bluetooth), and the sleekness of this product at a very affordable price. You cannot go wrong with this receiver.

    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.

    I wanted a receiver with phono inputs so I could resurrect my quality Sony turntable from years gone by. It was a perfect match. Plenty of power and no noticeable distortion at a good volume running thru the Klipsch speakers I paired it with. The price was very reasonable as well.

    I am using the received to power 11 in-ceiling speakers (5 indoor and 6 indoor). The receiver is two-zone (A and B) and provides plenty of volume for these speakers. Price point is excellent value for the quality. Also works well with Phono and Bluetooth Audio (e.g., from your iPhone), which turns on the receiver remotely.

    If you are looking for a receiver with a dedicated phono input, this is one well worth looking at. It has input for various other audio types. I tried the Bluetooth with an older iPod and it worked great. If looking for a budget receiver I highly recommend this one. (Not paid for this review).
