      Hi Rayeve, Wow! Good to hear it works easily 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 Sony_US

    100 watts isn't what it used to be. I'm somewhat let down by the volume this receiver puts out. I tried it on a few different sets of speakers, and it only puts out about half the volume of my old Onkyo 70 watt system. At first I thought it wasn't working as it wasn't putting out any sound with the volume at 15. I'll probably end up moving this receiver to my basement. It's not going to be sufficient for my outdoor speakers. With that being said, the unit functions great and was priced right (on sale). It's heavier than expected, which is usually a sign of good internal components. Time will tell. I would still recommend this system unless you are wanting a higher amount of volume.

      Hi Doug,

      Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the STRDH190. We appreciate your feedback about the weight of the receiver. It's also unfortunate that you are not satisfied with the overall volume. Make sure that all speakers are secured and connected properly. You may also refer to the troubleshooting steps on this link to help resolve the issue:

      https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/audio-components-receivers-amplifiers/str-dh190/articles/00032243

      Resetting the receiver may also help resolve the issue:

      1. Press the (power) button to turn off the receiver.
      2. Press and hold the (power) button for 5 seconds. “CLEARING” appears on the display panel during initialization. When initialization is complete, “CLEARED ” appears on the display panel.

      Note: It takes a few seconds for the memory to be cleared completely. Do not turn the receiver off until “CLEARED ” appears on the display panel.

      Hope this helps. If still not resolved or you need further assistance, please email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:

    I bought this to use as my TV audio. It performs just fine, and based upon its relatively low price, it;s a bargain. I wanted a simple receiver with a remote control, this is it. I gave it only 4 stars because the application (use) is not demanding. I wish it had a sub-woofer output, I did purchase a sub-woofer to go with it, which also works fine, and the inputs/outputs on the [Polk] sub-woofer render a specific output unnecessary. I would recommend this receiver.

    I love my Sony Receiver. I use it for my turntables and my vinyl. It helps I have lots of vinyl old school speakers and head phones. It's difficult to find equipment to make these components work together.
