Sony 2 channel receiver good value
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this so I could play records in my man cave. It works well hooked up to a couple of Bose book shelf speakers. Not an audiophile, but, I did think about purchasing a vintage unit...but, in the end, I wanted bluetooth so I went with the Sony - glad I did.

Posted .Hi JebW, Wow! Good to know the unit works well with your speakers! 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

Very nice introductory stereo receiver!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My Sony Stereo Receiver is hooked up to my record player. I've had these records for years, and haven't listened to them, but due to the stay at home order, my wife and I revitalized our basement with a bar and a sound system. The set up was easy and we can listen to records and Spotify from my phone. Great sound quality for the price.

Good for the price
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought on sale and good for price so far. For basic stereo this unit is far less complicated than a home theater type receiver. Used with 2 quality bookshelf speakers for easy listening music so not a demanding application. A few design quirks. Most of the controls are on the remote. Don’t damage it. The speaker wire connectors look like flip lock types but are just spring type things. Not very robust but seem ok. Fm reception is weak but uses a thin, straight, rather short wire. The female connection is apparently not compatible with any other better antennas. Fortunately, I don’t rely on FM listening or this would be a problem. Bluetooth streaming connection to my iPhone is very good and my only listening source.

Posted .Hi Plantdoc, Thank you for purchasing the Sony STRDH190 receiver! We;re glad it works great with your bookshelf speakers and you like the built-in Bluetooth feature of your new receiver. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the remote having most of the controls, speaker port quality, and poor FM reception. Please be assured that the STRDH190 have a robust design which helps prevent any type of breakage under normal use.
You can't connect an external FM antenna to your receiver, but you can improve the FM reception by following the steps below.
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.
Hope this helps!

Overall, pretty good Stereo for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great Stereo Receiver, the volume nob is a little tight, it could be easier to turn, and the FM antenna is about as flimsy as you can get.

Great receiver for the price.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this receiver to hook up to my TV. I got tired of sound bars and peripheral speakers and went back to a 2 channel unit. It may not have all the ambiance of of the multi-channel units but it sounds great in my family room. The only minus is the lack of an optical input.

Great 2 Channel Amp/Receiver
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This produces great sound and plenty of power for my two ceiling speakers. The Bluetooth range is incredible. I was all the way upstairs and outside probably 40 feet away through floors and walls and it was still connected and playing.
