    The best audio receiver for the buck

    I'm 55 so have had many an audio receiver over the years. Since most of the music I listen to is from my PC or iPad, I've been considering an audio receiver with bluetooth and this one far exceeds my expectation. The bluetooth pairs up flawlessly and I love the ability to adjust bass and treble from the remote. I originally bought this on sale for our enclosed patio for $99 and loved it so much I bought another for my computer room. May even end up ditching our old Kenwood receiver in our livingroom for another one of these. The Sony STRDH190 simply can't be beat for price, ease of use, and audio quality. FM receiption isn't the best but not a dealbreaker for me since I don't isten to radio anymore.

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! -Kris Sony_US

    Just needed a basic AV Receiver for my parents. It was easy to set up. The menu was easy to navigate. It has the ability to receive audio from the TV so they can hear their streaming services.Also synced to their phones with Bluetooth for playing music.

    I got this receiver to use with an outdoor sound system. I wanted something simple and not break the bank . Hooked up Klipsch outdoor speakers , covered it in plexiglass to give it some protection from the elements here in the summer months , it’s also under a overhang , so not directly exposed to sun and rain. Bluetooth is seem less. Works perfectly with Alexa dot and my phone, preset radio stations, etc and puts out excellent sound to my outdoor speakers! This was a good purchase and perfect for my needs for a kickass stereo system in my backyard oasis!

    This is a reasonable unit . If purchased this to work with my phonograph and it works great. The other features are very basic, no knob to set you’re fm channel no am thin wire for antenna , you change station by a tracking plus long switch, you should be able to set station but mine did not come with English instructions and there is pre set station but all static , But I bought it for my records and that works wonderfully

    Good Sony Amplifier, phono inputs, good value

    Very nice unit, at a good price. The stereo sound is real good and clear, the amplifier inputs work well. However, I would like the name of a good pre-amp that works well with this one and has RCA outputs to go in to the Sony Amplifier. I like how you can label the different inputs for whatever they are. The remote is a real plus and makes the operation so much more fluid and simple. Maybe someday I will use the Bluetooth app that's built in, but I don't like wireless, so that's unlikely.

      Hi SONYAMP, Thank you for this amazing and detailed review of your STRDH190. We're glad you like the overall sound quality, user-friendly remote control functions, and the ability to label the different inputs. An equalizer needs to be connected to the tape monitor loop on an AV receiver in order to operate. The current line of Sony® receivers does not have a tape monitor loop. For this reason, it is not possible to connect an add-on equalizer/preamp to current Sony AV receivers. Hope this helps. -Sam Sony_US

    Great Budget Receiver

    What I’d hoped to get from this purchase is what I got - a $150 (sale price) receiver that enables my small Polk speakers to fill my living room with clear, clean music from my phone’s Bluetooth connection, my CD player, and my turntable. It has additional RCA connections if I can ever find room for the tape deck. The FM receiver works well for local stations, even with the included 10 cent wire “antenna.” It doesn’t have AM capability, but the Orioles games are simulcast on an FM sister station, so no worries there :) Just perfect for my needs! Note on my sub-ratings - only had it for a week, so I wanted to reserve judgement on Quality, and haven’t tried programming FM presets yet, so I wanted to wait to rate Ease of Use. But, Best Buy’s system forced me to pick a rating for those categories if I wanted to rate the receiver on Value. Best Buy might want to revise that protocol.

    I bought this receiver to primarily power my two Polk outdoor speakers. It has the ability to use speakers on either an A or B channel. It provides great power for the speakers I paired it with. The Bluetooth capability is pretty good too. I have it inside the house, next to a window, and Our Bluetooth devices can reach the receiver pretty well for a good 50-60 ft. The manual speaks to a 98 ft reach, but that would be direct line of sight with no walls or windows. Overall, great receiver for the price.

    Easy to use. Even for a teen. I purchased this for my son to hook up a speaker that he built. It was super easy and everything was included. The sound is great and we love the remote control. Definitely recommend. Sony is always a great brand and good service from Best Buy.

    When my vintage receiver failed I was discouraged at the length of time for repair. I decided to purchase a new unit. After considerable research I continued to see the Sony 2 channel on reviewers best pick list. I have very pleased with my purchase, the sound is great and the ease of hookup makes it any easy setup. It sound better than much more expensive receivers and looks classy as well. Great Sony piece.

    Have had this for a few months. It's in a medium to large sized interior room in my home. Sound quality is good. I love that this is bluetooth capable and comes with a remote. For the price point, I think I got everything I was looking for and then some. I'm very pleased with my decision to buy this. Also considered the equivalent Yamaha brand, similar features. I feel good about going with the Sony.

    I purchased this receiver to replace a mid 90's unit. The difference is amazing! Bluetooth is a game changer, and having an aux cord port standard is nice too. The speakers I'm using connected flawlessly and are powered more than sufficiently! Also, the phono provisions are more than adequate, the ground works well, and my player has no him whatsoever. This receiver makes my music sound better in every way I can possibly play music through it. Would buy again.
