    This could use a little more base and the volume could be a bit louder according to the number

    I bought an open box version. Therefore I got it for nearly half price. It works terrifically so far and my only complaint is the feel of the volume knob. When turning it I'm reminded of something not very well engineered. But it works fine. And the Bluetooth reaches through several walls.... Good purchase

      Hi Imaaronsnyder, That sounds like a great deal! We're glad to hear you're enjoying your overall experience with your new STRDH190 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. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Sam Sony_US

    I purchased this receiver to be able to play my iPod on with the hopes that the sound would be as great is what I hear on my iPod. And that it would be as easy to use since I had not had a receiver in 20 years! Also to be able to listen two radio stations! It was a great inexpensive purchase! I’m so happy I have it as I love music!

    We needed a new receiver to replace on old one in our component system, and after hours of looking on line at brands I never heard of, I went to the Best Buy site. This basic SONY receiver was on sale for less than the unknowns with spotty reviews. A perfect addition to my system. We could not be happier!

    Paired it up with some Edifier stero speakers and the sound is phenominal for a pretty minimal setup. Bluetooth and other features are easy to use.

    Very pleased with this receiver. I decided to get one again after going for several years without one. Really glad I did. I have old school wired speakers that produce phenomenal sound that I can use again. I can listen to the music I have on my phone through this, so it's working great for me.

    This acquisition replaced my old ONKYO receiver which had developed some circuitry issues that I could not easily resolve. Works like a charm with all my other components, including a new Sony turntable I acquired at about the same time.

    I don’t know much about receivers, but this one was very user friendly. Easy to set and very basic. I didn’t get this receiver for a home theatre system, I’m just using this for my record player set up. And it works perfectly just for that, but I can see how you can also connect this to your tv to get your set up started:)

    I use this receiver on my deck with two outside weather resistant speakers. The sound of the 2.0 channel is outstanding. You can really hear the separation of sound in each independent speaker. Hearing music the way it is meant to be heard!

    Item is perhaps fine but I liked the sound of the Onkyo I settled on a bit better. When shopping in store, the lack of an optical in was not a concern. After hooking everything up, we decided we also wanted our TV sound to run through our stereo system which was my primary reason for returning. If you want both Bluetooth and a phono hookup on a tight budget, this may be your unit. Lacking other features which can be found for ~$50 more, I personally don't find this to be as much of a value.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I bought this for my outdoor speakers. Blue tooth has great range with my I phone - about 70 feet from inside garage to my BBQ. Sound quality is excellent. Picks up radio stations that I never have been able to before. Only disappointment was the maximum volume output. With only two speakers it was not enough. Had to add two more and it is very loud. I would buy this again. My yard is 80 x 120.

    I bought this stereo because of the built in blue tooth. Replaced my old similar model Sony that did not have bluetooth so that I could stream music. It works great for streaming music and I have my TV connected as well. It has an A/B switch too so that I can listen to music on my porch on another set of speakers. The remote is simple and user friendly.

    Great stereo receiver for old school (two channel audio only) set up. Volume knob tension is tight making it purposely difficult to be accidentally turned up too high. This, I would imagine would be ideal when there’s small children about.
