||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bluetooth feature is great. Paired my iPod and instantly worked - switch my playlist no problem. Other great features, too. The only thing I don't like is not being able to easily read the button labels. Everything Sony makes now is black and hard to see any buttons, labels, etc. Other than that it's really nice.

Who would have thought you could get so much for ?
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed a receiver for my shop music system. Who would have known you could get so much for for so little money. My employees are very happy. They have choices of Radio, CD, phono, and everything Bluetooth has to offer. The whole place is rocking.

Sony - 2.0-Ch. Stereo Receiver with Bluetooth
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After reading all the reviews, I decided this sounded like it would be a good receiver for what I needed to hook-up my CD player and turntable. Right out of the box, the display would not work. We googled the receiver and found some other reviews with the same issue. I was very disappointed. I had to drive 1 1/2 hours to nearest Best Buy to return the item. I had no issues returning it, and ordered a replacement to be shipped to my home. BB did not have one in stock. I hooked up the 2nd receiver, and the display is working. The instructions seemed pretty straight forward. I have 1 pair speakers hooked up, and it looks like it will take another pair. I'm able to play CD's. Have not tried turntable yet. Having some issues picking up FM radio, but I think that's the reception out here in the country. Now that I have a receiver that works, I'm hoping Sony will live up to it's positive reviews.

Posted .Hi Denise, We apologize for any inconvenience that you experienced with your previous receiver. And good to know that you're enjoying your replacement unit. We're very pleased to hear it works well with your speaker setup and you are able to play CDs and FM radio on it. Please make sure to adjust the position of the antenna and move to a better location to get the best signal reception.

Pay more for less...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall, serves its purpose I wanted it to. The negative aspect was the antenna connection with the small flimsy wire, I needed to hook up to an exterior antenna to pickup a local station with a weak signal which required directional type that I custom built. The programming of stations was a bit vague but I got it taken care of at the moment. Sound quality was good and the remote eliminates the need to have to reach the location where it sits. I had to return the first receiver I bought, it also had a remote but what good is a remote if you can't turn the unit on as it had no power on button. I don't know what the thinking was when that unit was designed. I had to spend more money on the second one to get a remote with a power button and it was also a 2-channel and not 4-channel like the first. $65 more for less features....You should have more selections available in store

Posted .Hi Lackoffeatures, Thank you for the feedback on your experience with your STRDH190 receiver. We regret to hear about the issues you had with your previous unit and about the signal reception issues with the current unit. This is usually not the case for our receivers nor the experience we want you to have. Please follow the troubleshooting steps below to ensure you're getting the optimal signal reception with the receiver:
• Extend and adjust the position of the FM
wire antenna (aerial) to a place where the
reception conditions are good.
• Place the FM wire antenna (aerial) near a
window.
• Position the FM wire antenna (aerial) as
horizontally as possible.

Good for the price
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought on sale and good for price so far. For basic stereo this unit is far less complicated than a home theater type receiver. Used with 2 quality bookshelf speakers for easy listening music so not a demanding application. A few design quirks. Most of the controls are on the remote. Don’t damage it. The speaker wire connectors look like flip lock types but are just spring type things. Not very robust but seem ok. Fm reception is weak but uses a thin, straight, rather short wire. The female connection is apparently not compatible with any other better antennas. Fortunately, I don’t rely on FM listening or this would be a problem. Bluetooth streaming connection to my iPhone is very good and my only listening source.

Posted .Hi Plantdoc, Thank you for purchasing the Sony STRDH190 receiver! We;re glad it works great with your bookshelf speakers and you like the built-in Bluetooth feature of your new receiver. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the remote having most of the controls, speaker port quality, and poor FM reception. Please be assured that the STRDH190 have a robust design which helps prevent any type of breakage under normal use.
You can't connect an external FM antenna to your receiver, but you can improve the FM reception by following the steps below.
Adjust the position of the supplied FM wire antenna (aerial) to a place where the reception condition is good.
Place the antenna near a window.
Position the antenna as horizontally as possible.
Hope this helps!

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We purchased this receiver to replace a far older model also by Sony, after suffering through continual sound problems of extreme static, and sound lost with almost every other word. One of us watches with a headset plugged into the front and the other without a headset, so we required a means to achieve that. After connecting our multi CD player, DVD Player and TV, he suggested a headset splitter to be able to duplicate what we had, and told us how to install it. After purchasing one, we did as he said, and it's working perfectly.

||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great receiver for the price. It’s a low end model that doesn’t have a ton of features, but I wasn’t looking for the world with this unit. I needed only two channels with Bluetooth for a patio system. Works as it should! I’d recommend to others.

Excellent for certain needs at good price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good for my situation - two sets of stereo speakers in family room and three season room - also airplay units are expensive but the Bluetooth works great especially since you can turn the unit on by simply connecting to Bluetooth with your device and play any source like pandora amazon Apple or whatever

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent value with very good features for under 200. If you are looking for a good quality and an amp that can power just about everything on a budget try auditioning these. You will be surprised at the performance for the price.

Best budget Amp!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is one of the best budget amps you can buy! I absolutely love the “pure direct” feature for cleaner, richer and deeper tones. What really is neat is being able to connect 4 speakers and use them all at the same time. This Sony CRANKS!
