    Bought this to power 2 vintage jbl P-30 speakers. Simple 2 channel with decent power and clean transparent sound. Simple bass and treble boost/cut Definitely fits the bill!

      Hi Joker85,

      That's very nice to hear! We're glad that you like the sound quality and sound options of the AV 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! Thank you for choosing Sony!

    Excellent Stereo Receiver, plenty of power to drive 4ohm speakers. Very good tuner, able to capture over the air broadcast. DSP processing is exceptional, allowing clarity and accurate fidelity on many types of recordings, from low bit rate to 4k master recordings.

    Beware of the lame FM antenna connection

    price was right but I didn't notice the awful, tiny plug connection for an FM antenna until it had arrived. I still need an outdoor antenna due to where I live and adapting that horrible set-up to work was a royal pain in the butt. Sony should be ashamed of themselves for cutting that corner. Otherwise it was everything I had expected. Hard to find a receiver with phono pre-amp input.

      Hi wscott, Thank you for sharing your experience with your new Sony STRDH190. We appreciate your feedback about the FM antenna. 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.

    First of all i have to say that I was totally surprised on how soon I received it, the next day and didn't have to pay for it. The tuner was the best I've had in years, picked up stations I haven't heard in a very long time, the Bluetooth worked great and easy, can't wait till I can hook up my turntable and the CD player.

    The Sony Stereo does what’s needed for the price and the Bluetooth setup works perfect to pair phones or other devices to steam music effortlessly. The range is pretty good as I can have my device anywhere in the house and the connection is still strong. It was a good fit for my two outdoor speakers. And it doesn’t heat up which is a plus!

    We wanted something that can power a couple of bookshelf speakers and handle a CD player, a record player and the local radio stations. This fit our needs at a great price. The setup and connections were easy and sound was perfect for our small study. If you are not DJ'ing the latest rave or recreating a "THE WHO" concert then you will be satisfied.
