Great price
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a good receiver for the price. I have it paired with two outdoor speakers. The Bluetooth range is great! The range exceeded my expectations. The one thing I don’t like is that when connected to Bluetooth, you can turn your device (phone, tablet) all the way up but the receiver caps at 70-75%. You can have the receiver go higher but you have to do it by turning the knob or using the remote. It’s a little annoying since I am mostly in my yard using my phone. When paired with great speakers, this unit is great!

Posted .Hi Matt, You've made an excellent choice! Good to hear it paired perfectly with your outdoor speakers, and you like the great Bluetooth range of your Sony STRDH190. We also appreciate your feedback about the volume adjustment when connected to Bluetooth. I would suggest turning up the volume on the receiver itself i you don't want to switch between turning up the volume on your Bluetooth device and the supplied remote control.
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 Entry Level Stereo Receiver
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really didn’t expect such a great performance from this receiver, paired with Sony’s bookshelf speakers. Beware, however, that wired connectivity is limited to RCA connectors (e.g., no HDMI, optical, etc.), so if you plan on connecting it to a TV, you will have to purchase a whatever your TV’s audio output connector to RCA cable.

Great Receiver
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a Great Receiver. It was EXACTLY what I needed to replace my 50 year-old Receiver. I have 4 components and the 4 Inputs accommodated these components PERFECT. I LOVE the remote and the ability to change the display name of each of the 4 Inputs. The ability to connect my phone via Bluetooth was the icing on the cake!

Good bang for you buck
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this on Black Friday for $100. Easy setup, sounds great hooked up to my surround sound in my living room. Just wish it had more ways of connectivity but for the price and the fact that it’s Sony, I’m happy with my purchase. Hopefully it holds up through the years.

Simple and sounds great but with Bluetooth issue.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its a simple, no nonsense, hard to find 2 channel receiver with no fluff and does what its needed to do. Sounds great with my Bose speaker setup and Techincs turntable. I do have an odd issue when streaming Bluetooth to it though. When streaming to it from either a MacBook or my new Mac-mini, it will make a pop-scratch noise whenever it starts a new track or anything starting new and sometimes it will play like it has a lag effect where it sounds like its playing at a slower rate in the mud. I don't know what it is, other than that, I have no issues. I only bought this over the Yamaha R-S202BL because of the phono input.

Posted .Hi Bretto,
We're glad that you like the sound quality of the receiver. It's unfortunate that you are not having a complete experience because of Bluetooth issues. Pair the receiver again with the Bluetooth devices. If there are obstructions between the receiver and your BLUETOOTH device, remove them or move the receiver and/or device to avoid them. If there is a device that generates electromagnetic radiation, such as a wireless LAN, other BLUETOOTH devices, or a microwave oven nearby, move it away. Turn down the volume of the connected BLUETOOTH device. Resetting the receiver may also help resolve both issues:
1. Press (power) to turn off the receiver.
2. Press and hold (power) for 5 seconds. “CLEARING” appears on the display panel during initialization. When initialization is complete, “CLEARED ” appears on the display panel.
Note: It takes a few seconds for the memory to be cleared completely. Do not turn the receiver off until “CLEARED ” appears on the display panel.
If still not resolved, please email the below information to socialsupport@am.sony.com. Apologies if you disclosed some of this information in your review and to customer service, we just want to ensure that we have your accurate details at the time of communication.
