Customer Ratings & Reviews

Solid basic stereo receiver. Easy to set up and configure. Easy to pair with phone and stream music via blutooth. Perfect fit as sound source in area of house distant from primary home A/V system.

This is probably the best stereo receiver you can buy below 400. Has phono input, and a/b for easy addition of subwoofer into b. Bluetooth connectivity is easy, FM receiver is excellent. Sound is flawless - no distortion even when cranked.

It does all the thing I need it to do. What I really needed was a receiver that has a phono input for my vintage turntable, but I also wanted Bluetooth. This Sony unit does both at a reasonable price, and with respectable specifications. I am having my reel-to-reel tape deck overhauled, and will soon have it connected.

Easy to setup, easy to use, nice connections and sound. Definitely worth the price. One of the few that has a good phono input

Having had Sony gear in the past, and not looking for or needing a lot of power or options, this has been a great choice. The bluetooth works well, it has plenty of power to drive my subwoofer / satellite system plus another set of speakers at the other end of the house. My only criticism: the display could be brighter at its max. You can control EVERYTHING with the remote. A sound value for any music listener.

So far (1 month) this purchase has worked out very well. It was easy to connect, the only difficulty being that you have to find out the resistance of your speakers, and set the receiver appropriately. It is nice that this has a phono input. I have not hooked this up yet, so can't comment on the quality of this. Sound quality from my TV, and on the CD player is good. I only briefly tried the FM tuner. I was disappointed with this. White noise on some stations that I previously was able to pick up quite clearly, It seems to be down to the provided antenna, and there doesn't seem to be a choice on the back of the machine for alternative antenna types, so you are stuck with a single wire type. Maybe a longer antenna wire will help? I'm deducting a star for this at this point, because, whereas I'm not big on listening to radio, some people will be, and this is a weakness. If I find a fix I'll update my review. The remote controller is intuitive and very functional - no issues here. Overall, for the price, this a great value

If you're looking for a great amp/receiver to go with existing components and you don't want complicated or you don't want to break the bank, this is the unit for you. Fast setup, great sound and I really love the Bluetooth feature. It is an excellent receiver with Bluetooth to hook music from our iPhones and iPads. I also really love the loudness adjustment for phonograph. Highly recommended!

This Sony product is easy to use and sounds great. Connects to bluetooth quickly and easily. Phono input for your vinyl collection.

Needed a simple but flexible receiver for a simple sound system in the house. Have a turntable and this was just about the only receiver/amp that had a phono input. The records sound great. Plugged in a small CD player into one of the inputs and it sounded great. Then the Bluetooth synced no problem to the iPhone and plays music just great. Remote control works just fine. Never have to touch the receiver.

An amazing value. Works well the Bluetooth input is a real convenience. Sounds great.

I bought it for my room stereo. Sound great with good power for bookshelves speakers. I like the Bluetooth function. Simple to use.

This serves the purpose I needed it for: to run my ceiling speakers. It was easy to set up, and the sound quality and ease of use is great. Turn it on, connect to Bluetooth, and boom: off to the races. The only problem I have, and what’s preventing a five star review, is that it is way bigger than I though. So big, in fact, that it won’t fit in my media center. Right now it’s living on the floor next to everything until I figure out what to do.

Sony has delivered just what the doctor ordered. This was for a music classroom. Just two channel stereo. Clean sound, plenty of power. I love that the remote has a volume button. Those are hard to come by, but extremely useful. And the Bluetooth feature will come in very handy for music options on the fly.

If you are in a budget this is the receiver for you, sounds good, enough power the only complaint, no sub out.

The receiver is high quality and power at a reasonable price. It is everything you need to appreciate movies and music.

I bought this receiver to replace a Sony receiver I had for over 40 years that quit working. It works very well with the CD and cassette players which are also over 40 years, plus a new Sony turntable I purchased to replace an older one that also quit working. The FM reception, the sound quality from the various audio components all are very good.

For a low price 2 channel stereo it performs very well hooked to Klipsch shelf 600 speakers. Sounds strange but I wish it had an AM tuner also.

The Sony STRDH190 is an excellent foundation to build a stereo system around. It was the least expensive receiver with a phono input that I could find, with plenty of amplifier power AND Bluetooth connectivity. The setup is straightforward and the remote control is a great real-world convenience. And most importantly, the sound is everything I could want!

Great sound quality at a reasonable price. Easy to set up. It has all the connections I need for my system with the added phono. Everything works with no issues. Very easy to hook thigns up. Bluetooth is easy to use with my devices for easy streaming.

I rate this based on value to performance. However, I will say that this is more enjoyable to listen to than some more expensive receivers. I've returned receivers costing almost five times as much because the Sony can be more fun to listen to. It has a really good phono stage, which is what I primarily use the Sony for. The sound is transparent and you clearly hear all instruments. Don't listen to audiophile reviews. I did and I wasted so much money until I stumbled across this gem. If you like music with tons of bass, you may not want to purchase this product. It is meant for music that contains a lot of instrumentation, such as rock, country, jazz, etc.. This receiver presents the treble, midrange and bass very balanced. This is a very good thing, but some folks may like more punch, so they may want a different receiver. Keep in mind that sound reproduction is a compromise, so if you want more bass, you may miss out on other musical details.
