Affordable and quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been using my same old receiver for my turntable for the past 15 years, and this one really impressed me, especially at this price point. It works amazing as a turntable receiver, the radio comes in clear, and the Bluetooth is really handy. I’d recommend this to anyone looking for a great sounding receiver at a super affordable price. I did receive it with a lot of box damage and some dings to the unit itself, but I hate when people mark down their reviews for that kind of stuff as it doesn’t reflect the product, but wanted to note that Best Buy did help out and sent a partial refund.

Posted .Hi Tonyv, Thank you for upgrading to your new STRDH190 receiver. We're glad to hear it works perfectly with your turntable and you appreciate the clear radio sound, easy Bluetooth pairing, and affordable price point of the unit. Good to know that the issue has been taken care of. 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

Decent amp for a decent price
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not a ton of features, but I didn't buy it for that either. Bought to power the outdoor speakers on the deck and around the pool area as a separate zone. For what it is, it works great. Bluetooth is fast and has decent range - now we can have music playing inside and control the outside music independently. It s a great "basic" amplifier that sounds decent and has plenty of power for what we need.

Very good receiver
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My older Sony receiver/amp bit the dust after thirty plus years of use. Since I also aged during that same time, I decided I didn't need anything super fancy or powerful and decided on this unit. Well, it sounds better than my deceased Sony unit ever did, and it has Bluetooth. I also purchased an attachment for playing music from a usb drive. I was also able to connect my older Sony cd player with no problem at all. Very pleased with this purchase.

Perfect for a simple setup
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was looking for a amp just to pass through from TV to 3-way floor speakers, mainly used for gaming and music. This is great, very simple, quick setup and Bluetooth is very hand for just playing music without running through TV. Powerful and meets my needs.

Excellent 2 channel receiver
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This receiver puts out good clear sound and lives up to its reported specs. The FM reception is actually very good with the supplied antenna (wire). In comparing to my Pioneer SX-253R The Sony does not have an extra low end emphasis (bummer) but still reproduces sound well. The bass adjustment is centered around the 100Hz frequency which can make it difficult to hear / feel the lower bass hit if adjusted to much. The Bluetooth connectivity is awesome but be aware that your Bluetooth media device might control the Sony receiver volume. That was not listed in the manual. Would buy again.

Great sounding receiver with useful connectivity
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My old Sony stereo receiver finally failed after 25 years. I bought this as a cheap replacement. I should have replaced it years ago. The sound is better throught the same speakers and the new features make it a valuable addition. I still use FM radio a lot, so it's nice to see it included in this age of digital audio. I haven't tried the Bluetooth yet but I do have a large collection MP3's I will have to try. Also, I may just dust off the phonograph to listen to the vinyl records that I still own.

Great Budget Receiver!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my first Audio Receiver to ever purchase. I have trusted Sony to handle other electronic and technology needs of mine and they have never failed so I decided to go with a receiver and speaker setup through them! This receiver was easy to setup and get my music and movies going through! I like the Pure Audio function which overrides the EQ changes you set in place instead of needing to adjust your Bass and Treble settings. The Bluetooth has connected and worked every time without fail and the headphone jack powers all of the headphones I have plugged into it. I would highly recommend this!

Phono/ground for Turntable
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was looking for a replacement receiver that had a Phono option for turntables with a ground. This was it! Only 2 channels, but that's what stereo means! Bluetooth is definitely a bonus for when I just want to connect a phone/device. Also, only $150! Great deal for a great piece of equipment from an extremely reputable brand in Sony. You'll never find anything this quality for this price anywhere else.
