Good reciever/Amp for the money
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a good unit. It is well built and looks sleek. The sound is full and warm. I have it running into a couple of Polk Audio speakers. There is sonic detail and decent imaging. The only thing I did not like was that the tone controls are only accessible on the remote. I like more control over my sound than that. Otherwise, I am quite pleased.

Posted .Hi astraldog, We're very pleased to hear you like the sound quality of your STR-DH190 Stereo receiver with Bluetooth. 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! -Sam

Excellent for certain needs at good price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good for my situation - two sets of stereo speakers in family room and three season room - also airplay units are expensive but the Bluetooth works great especially since you can turn the unit on by simply connecting to Bluetooth with your device and play any source like pandora amazon Apple or whatever

Great value
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great receiver for the price. It’s a low end model that doesn’t have a ton of features, but I wasn’t looking for the world with this unit. I needed only two channels with Bluetooth for a patio system. Works as it should! I’d recommend to others.

Bluetooth
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bluetooth feature is great. Paired my iPod and instantly worked - switch my playlist no problem. Other great features, too. The only thing I don't like is not being able to easily read the button labels. Everything Sony makes now is black and hard to see any buttons, labels, etc. Other than that it's really nice.

Sony - 2.0-Ch. Stereo Receiver with Bluetooth
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After reading all the reviews, I decided this sounded like it would be a good receiver for what I needed to hook-up my CD player and turntable. Right out of the box, the display would not work. We googled the receiver and found some other reviews with the same issue. I was very disappointed. I had to drive 1 1/2 hours to nearest Best Buy to return the item. I had no issues returning it, and ordered a replacement to be shipped to my home. BB did not have one in stock. I hooked up the 2nd receiver, and the display is working. The instructions seemed pretty straight forward. I have 1 pair speakers hooked up, and it looks like it will take another pair. I'm able to play CD's. Have not tried turntable yet. Having some issues picking up FM radio, but I think that's the reception out here in the country. Now that I have a receiver that works, I'm hoping Sony will live up to it's positive reviews.

Just what the doctor ordered.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Needed a receiver that had a phono connection. It fit the bill very well . There are not very many receivers that you can get to connect a turntable to any more and not pay an arm and a leg for it. Got a hundred watts per channel and at a low price.

Best budget Amp!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is one of the best budget amps you can buy! I absolutely love the “pure direct” feature for cleaner, richer and deeper tones. What really is neat is being able to connect 4 speakers and use them all at the same time. This Sony CRANKS!

Pay more for less...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall, serves its purpose I wanted it to. The negative aspect was the antenna connection with the small flimsy wire, I needed to hook up to an exterior antenna to pickup a local station with a weak signal which required directional type that I custom built. The programming of stations was a bit vague but I got it taken care of at the moment. Sound quality was good and the remote eliminates the need to have to reach the location where it sits. I had to return the first receiver I bought, it also had a remote but what good is a remote if you can't turn the unit on as it had no power on button. I don't know what the thinking was when that unit was designed. I had to spend more money on the second one to get a remote with a power button and it was also a 2-channel and not 4-channel like the first. $65 more for less features....You should have more selections available in store

Great purchase
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very happy with this purchase. My daughter has started collecting used vinyls from the 60's and 70's and they sound so good. We bought this Sony Receiver, a pair of Sony bookshelf Speakers and a Sony Turntable. Excellent combination.
