    Very good receiver. Good power and easy to use. I love the Bluetooth. I connect phone a listen to Spotify. Only two channels but plenty of power at 100watts pee channel. Only drawback is no sub output.

      Hi Lightsout, Thank you for this amazing feedback. We're pleased to hear you like the ease of use, easy Bluetooth pairing, and powerful sound. 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

    I bought this receiver to replace a Sony receiver I had for over 40 years that quit working. It works very well with the CD and cassette players which are also over 40 years, plus a new Sony turntable I purchased to replace an older one that also quit working. The FM reception, the sound quality from the various audio components all are very good.

    Sony STRDH190 Stereo Receiver Review

    The Sony STRDH190 is an excellent foundation to build a stereo system around. It was the least expensive receiver with a phono input that I could find, with plenty of amplifier power AND Bluetooth connectivity. The setup is straightforward and the remote control is a great real-world convenience. And most importantly, the sound is everything I could want!

    Needed something that would run my turntable. I'm an old guy with vinyl and a turntable I bought in 1979. It's a direct drive (not belted) ultra quiet, counterbalanced beauty that needs a decent amp to run it. Being an old guy with no sense, I discarded my Marantz system (also bought in 1980) and discovered I had no way to play my vinyl. I don't even let my wife touch the records, so there was no way I', buying a cheapo "record player." This seemed like a suitable alternative. It does not disappoint. Now if only I hadn't tossed the Marantz speakers....

    Using as a receiver just for playing music throughout the house. Bluetooth connects easily for streaming and quality is excellent. A little difficulty to see controls as everything is black, but it looks good.

    This receiver puts out good clear sound and lives up to its reported specs. The FM reception is actually very good with the supplied antenna (wire). In comparing to my Pioneer SX-253R The Sony does not have an extra low end emphasis (bummer) but still reproduces sound well. The bass adjustment is centered around the 100Hz frequency which can make it difficult to hear / feel the lower bass hit if adjusted to much. The Bluetooth connectivity is awesome but be aware that your Bluetooth media device might control the Sony receiver volume. That was not listed in the manual. Would buy again.

    Not a ton of features, but I didn't buy it for that either. Bought to power the outdoor speakers on the deck and around the pool area as a separate zone. For what it is, it works great. Bluetooth is fast and has decent range - now we can have music playing inside and control the outside music independently. It s a great "basic" amplifier that sounds decent and has plenty of power for what we need.

    My older Sony receiver/amp bit the dust after thirty plus years of use. Since I also aged during that same time, I decided I didn't need anything super fancy or powerful and decided on this unit. Well, it sounds better than my deceased Sony unit ever did, and it has Bluetooth. I also purchased an attachment for playing music from a usb drive. I was also able to connect my older Sony cd player with no problem at all. Very pleased with this purchase.

    This is my first Audio Receiver to ever purchase. I have trusted Sony to handle other electronic and technology needs of mine and they have never failed so I decided to go with a receiver and speaker setup through them! This receiver was easy to setup and get my music and movies going through! I like the Pure Audio function which overrides the EQ changes you set in place instead of needing to adjust your Bass and Treble settings. The Bluetooth has connected and worked every time without fail and the headphone jack powers all of the headphones I have plugged into it. I would highly recommend this!

    My old Sony stereo receiver finally failed after 25 years. I bought this as a cheap replacement. I should have replaced it years ago. The sound is better throught the same speakers and the new features make it a valuable addition. I still use FM radio a lot, so it's nice to see it included in this age of digital audio. I haven't tried the Bluetooth yet but I do have a large collection MP3's I will have to try. Also, I may just dust off the phonograph to listen to the vinyl records that I still own.

    Since most audio equipment and television is now capable of Bluetooth transmission/reception, this receiver is pretty much all one needs for Blue-Ray/DVD/CD players, cable television boxes, and turntables. The radio reception is fairly good, but an adapter, allowing the use of a coax cable antenna would be a nice addition. Perfect for bedrooms, and studys, and more than adequate for most family rooms or livingrooms.

    Was looking for a replacement receiver that had a Phono option for turntables with a ground. This was it! Only 2 channels, but that's what stereo means! Bluetooth is definitely a bonus for when I just want to connect a phone/device. Also, only $150! Great deal for a great piece of equipment from an extremely reputable brand in Sony. You'll never find anything this quality for this price anywhere else.
