Sony Receiver
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nothing wrong with the product, but I'm not sure we needed it. Old school, we thought the receiver would tie Sonos components together and allow for radio play. But, the Sonos Port connects multiple pieces into the system and Sirius XM gives us the radio (sports) we wanted to hear. So, we haven't really used the receiver, although it is wired into our new Sonos system. Best Buy advisor did not recommend that we buy it, but did not dissuade us from buying either. Nobody's fault, we just had some confusion.

Pretty good bang for the buck
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent value. The only problem I had was occasional static on some of the bluetooth connections. This might be the problem of iTunes. Most of the time it works just fine.

Posted .Hi jimba45, We're glad to hear you feel that the STRDH190 is worth its price! Please refer to the steps below for optimal Bluetooth connection:
If there are obstructions between the receiver and your BLUETOOTH device, remove these or move the receiver and/or device to avoid them.
If there is a device that generates electromagnetic radiation, such as a wireless LAN, other BLUETOOTH devices, or a microwave oven nearby, move it away.
The receiver and the BLUETOOTH device are too far apart

Dont believe the hype.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My guess is nobody at the store this receiver was returned to looked in the box. The styrofoam that protects the receiver during transit was one side of the receiver broken in half just stuffed in the box along with the plastic bag they wrap the receiver with at the factory. The manual was in the box, but the antenna wasn’t. So i can’t use the radio which is why i bought it. The receiver has no power. Volume setting turned up to 40 and still needs to go higher. There is a footprint of a toddler on top of the receiver. He wasn’t happy with this receiver either?!

Great stereo receiver
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works wonderfully with my record player to listen to old records though my stereo speakers. Keep in mind it is only 2 channels so not for surround sound.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you want good FM reception, this is not a good receiver. If you want to by an aftermarket free standing FM antenna. you're pretty much screwed. Sony has the strangest FM antenna connection I've ever seen. It is not normal and no one, not even Sony(that I could find anywhere) makes a free standing antenna that will connect. I ultimately returned it for that reason
