Sony reciever
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its not a bad reciever and serves the purpose. I'm use to my old pioneer reciever that had surround sound and many other options but i will get use to it. Its hard focusing on radio stations.

Posted .Hi CajsLilBear, Thank you for the feedback on your experience with your STRDH190! 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
Nice receiver!
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good value for a stereo receiver, only drawback is that you cannot hook up an external antenna. It only has a unique style plug to use with the basic thin wire antenna that comes with the unit. No coax plug or screw terminal plugs.
I would recommend this to a friendExcellent price and quality
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is such a great product for the money. I can play a song from my phone and the receiver will turn on automatically. We liked it so much, we purchased another one for our screen porch

Easy to use!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This our second purchase. First was to connect outside speakers, inside, xm, etc. This is for smart TVs, surround, xm, etc in lower level. Only complaint is that my speakers.don’t appear to have the same power. Could just be me. Stuck in the old Pioneer receiver days.

This receiver is a quality item
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I did not know that I had to have a receiver in order for our speakers to work. I was not told by my salesman that I needed one. So it was an inconvenience to have to make another trip to Best Buy and purchase it before I could have the speakers installed.

Replaced a very old reciever
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the receiver that I had since late 70s. I bought it a yard sale. After so many years different things no longer worked properly so broke down and replaced it. I did it on line and in a few days it was at my door. I now enjoy listening to the large collection of albums I have.

Disappointed in sound.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I didn't install this unit for 2 months after I purchased it and I'm sorry I waited. I finally replaced my old receiver with this one and I got to say I'm not very impressed with the overall sound compared to my old unit. The highs are very weak especially listening to classical music and it's not the speakers, they sounded great with the old receiver. It seems there's not enough control of bass & treble. It's overly complicated for any adjustments. I'm not happy at all.

All Sony
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent 2.0 receiver. I'm convinced to go all Sony with future component purchases through Best Buy. Next up will be 5.2; then their turntable. After two Sony 65" TV's, it makes sense.

Needs sub output and screw in F antenna connector
||Posted .

Posted .Hi JeffZ, Thank you for purchasing the Sony STRDH190! Good to know that this is what you've been looking for in a stereo receiver. If your subwoofer supports IN and OUT speaker wire connection. Then you can connect the left and right speaker wires from the stereo receiver into the left and right speaker IN on the subwoofer.

The knob to adjust volume is stiff to turn.
