      Hi Sublimenous, That's awesome! Good to know you find it very simple and easy to use.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. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Sam Sony_US

    I’ve been using this Receiver for a while now and it is great. I use it in my bedroom and it gets LOUD and the bass is good in my opinion and if you’re looking for a cheap but good quality receiver this is it.

    The product as such is fine, but I bought open box with missing remote. Since this will be tucked into a cabinet in my garage, I assumed the remote was not needed. Unfortunately, the remote is required for full functionality. Product pluses: With a right angle RCA plug, it fits a conventional wall cabinet with door closed. Sound quality in pure direct mode is good.

      Hi Mike, Thank you for the feedback on your experience with your STRDH190 receiver. We're glad you like the ease of setup and use of your new receiver. Make sure the volume is not set to “VOL MIN”. Please try to press the VOLUME + button all the way up to see if there will be difference with the sound. Check that all connecting cables are inserted to their input/output jacks on the receiver, speakers and the devices. Make sure you have connected to both the L and R jacks of an analog device, as analog devices require both L and R jack connections. Use a stereo audio cable (not supplied). If you are still having the same issue, you can email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details: Name: Best Buy Username: Model Number: Issue: Telephone Number:
