Posted .Hi zagg,
Great! We're glad that you like the sound quality and Bluetooth function of the 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!

Perfect on paper, but ended up returning
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This receiver was perfect for what I needed. I wanted to set up a little turntable system so the built-in phono pre-amp was very helpful. Also didnt want to get too carried away with speakers so the 2.0 was just enough. Speakers I bought to go with it were 6ohm Sony 3-way bookshelf speakers. Audio quality was decent for a while, but then eventually (after about a week) it started shutting off on its own. I moved it to a more ventilated area, re-checked all the connections including speakers, changed power strips, went direct to the wall, changed outlets and tried it on a circuit with nothing on it, unplugged everything... same result every time. Would shut off for an hour, turn back on, and die again 20 mins later. It was great while it worked, but I had to return it and did not get another one because I didn't want to have to potentially return it again. Some other thoughts... the pin connectors for the speaker wire in the back were difficult to work with. I wanted to use 14ga wire but could barely get it in there without it fraying all over the place. Even 16ga was a challange. The volume knob felt very... not high end. Very plasticy feeling and a lot of weird resistance turning it that felt like a clickly plastic mechanism behind the knob. Great price and features and audio quality, was absolutely perfect for what I needed but ended up exchanging it for a more expensive receiver with features I don't need and getting a separate phono pre-amp. This is a great option though provided it works.

Posted .Hi BenM, Thank you for the feedback on your experience with the STRDH190. We regret to hear that you ended up returning the unit.

But, we're still glad to hear that you liked the audio quality, built-in phono input, and it worked well with your Sony speakers. I hope you consider our Sony products in the future.

I would recommend this to a friendThird receiver in my 68 yrs - very satisfied.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy delivery. Set up easy to do. Impressed with Bluetooth distance from my iPhone to play on receiver. Wanted the FM stations for spontaneity and easy quick to pick up Penn State network on fm. But do miss the old style wheel selection that I could zero in on Baltimore stations even if scratchy. Technology improvements ok in some respects but not others. Has nothing to do with overall performance - sometimes old gives more.

Brought happiness back to my vinyl-listening life.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Gotta say I wasn't expecting much when I bought this, but I've been surprised in a good way. It doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles, but it has the turntable hook-ups with the pre-amp and it sounds great. My vinyl has new life. I thought I was just going deaf, but it was my receiver that had bitten the dust.

Sony was the winner.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The decision was between this Sony and the similar Yamaha. Using it to push content to outside speakers. Easy BT connection from outside, not sure the range but it does go through door(s)/concrete foundation to the table 20 feet away, Nice that it has the phono connection in case the current Insignia receiver in the study needs to be replaced.

A basic device that does its job.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a decent 2.0 stereo amplifier. While this is a 2.0 receiver, I am using the RCA outputs to send signal to my subwoofer. This works great. If you need a no frill's amplifier this is it. I first used this in my garage only using chromecast. I since put more speakers in my garage. I know use this as a 2.1 system pushing tower speakers for my computer. Again, it does its job.

Pair this receiver with some Klipsch 340 watt spea
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great receiver for the money. It checked off all the boxes. I can play my old albums and cassettes and connect my phone and tablet by Bluetooth. Of course it's not some high end model with all the HDMI home theater stuff. I just needed an inexpensive really good sounding receiver. I paired it with some Klipsch Reference 5 1/4 340 watt speakers. I think they cost twice as much as the receiver.
