Works amazing
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This sounds great with my Sony with my song record player and the radio sounds amazing too
I would recommend this to a friend Fine Receiver, Reasonable Price
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I live in an area where good radio reception is an issue. I tried a bunch of FM antennas with poor results. I purchased this receiver primarily for streaming music from my IPad. It works very well and I no longer have to worry about weak radio signals and static.

Posted .Hi FirstApple, Thank you for the great review! We're very happy to hear you're enjoying streaming music from your iPad using your new Sony STRDH190 receiver. You can't connect an external FM antenna to your A/V receiver, but you can improve the FM reception.
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.
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
Great product for the price
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great, super easy to setup and use with the bluetooth features. I bought this to use with my outdoor speakers on my deck. I setup the receiver in the garage and the deck is on the other side of the house. Once I hook up my phone I am able to adjust volume and control my music all from my phone when I'm on the deck and around the yard. Works great for everything I needed.

Sony Bass Eliminator
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.2* because it worked and was available and Best Buy's return policy, but the sound quality is extremely poor so I returned it. Reviewers that claim power and good sound are either reviewing something else or have no clue about quality sound!!! Tone controls at full and no bass. I have an 85 watt per channel 1976 vintage amp that must be really be 850 watts based on the way the Sony 100 WPC amp sounds. I bought it because Sony is a solid, quality firm. Yeah it is not expensive but based on my 45 years of Hi Fidelity experience, this amp is closer to a 15 watt per channel amp good for some tiny book shelf speakers where one would NOT expect good bass. Seriously, this amp competes with a hi quality CLOCK RADIO at best. Sony, don't say sorry, please explain why you let this amp out with your name on it claiming 100 watts/Ch.

Good, but not Yamaha good.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good stereo amp. I would recommend the Yamaha R-S202 over this product from my experience. I will say that either product is going to perform well for the price. This amp does seem to off put more heat, which has some concern for faults down the road.

Posted .Hi Dillfrei, we're glad you like the our product. Although the receiver heats up during operation, this is not a malfunction. If you continuously use this receiver at a large volume, the cabinet temperature of the top, side and bottom rises considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not touch the cabinet.
Every component in the STR-DH190 has been designed for detail and clarity. The STR-DH190 has four analog audio inputs and one output, for easy connection to your audio recording device and other audio equipment. We hope you also enjoy the BLUETOOTH for easy connection with mobile devices and the A and B speaker function for flexible installation. Thank you for choosing SONY. ~Earl
Perfect for my needs
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like the full function remote control. I needed a basic receiver to use with my older stereo components, and this one fills my needs. The only thing I wish it had was AM capabilities, but I will manage without it.
