Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

This receiver is of great quality, and the performance exceed expectations. The receiver is easy to install, and has amazing sound and functionality. Highly recommend!!

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!

I bought this receiver to use in the primary bedroom. It powers a pair of speakers in the bedroom plus another pair in the primary bath as well. The audio in jack on the front is used to input the audio signal from the TV. I do wish there was an audio in connection on the rear panel so the cord was hanging out in front, but that's a small point. The Bluetooth connectivity is a very nice feature allowing me to stream my music services from my phone. And I thought the price was very reasonable to boot!

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.

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.

Very pleased with this amp Sound quality is excellent.

Intuitive and easy to set up. Bluetooth makes it compatible with a number of devices. Powers four sets of speakers (8) with base and treble adjustments. A lot for the $!

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.

I'm 55 so have had many an audio receiver over the years. Since most of the music I listen to is from my PC or iPad, I've been considering an audio receiver with bluetooth and this one far exceeds my expectation. The bluetooth pairs up flawlessly and I love the ability to adjust bass and treble from the remote. I originally bought this on sale for our enclosed patio for $99 and loved it so much I bought another for my computer room. May even end up ditching our old Kenwood receiver in our livingroom for another one of these. The Sony STRDH190 simply can't be beat for price, ease of use, and audio quality. FM receiption isn't the best but not a dealbreaker for me since I don't isten to radio anymore.

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.

This receiver works perfectly for sending music out into our whole store! We had an older one that finally quit and fortunately you had the new version available. Good sound quality and very easy set up!

I bought this Sony unit to have a little sound in my shop while working on projects. The Bluetooth works flawlessly and the sound is great. Very easy to use.

Using as a receiver just for playing music throughout the house. Bluetooth connects easily for streaming and quality is excellent. A little difficulty to see controls as everything is black, but it looks good.

Works great and sounds great. Easy set up. Blue tooth is awesome.

I got this amp just for my record player and it doesn’t disappoint ! I’m running some vintage cerwin Vega speakers and two Bose surround speakers and th sound is natural and phenomenal

Does everything it’s supposed to do well. Bluetooth is excellent. Drives our bookshelf speakers beautifully.

I got this receiver to use with an outdoor sound system. I wanted something simple and not break the bank . Hooked up Klipsch outdoor speakers , covered it in plexiglass to give it some protection from the elements here in the summer months , it’s also under a overhang , so not directly exposed to sun and rain. Bluetooth is seem less. Works perfectly with Alexa dot and my phone, preset radio stations, etc and puts out excellent sound to my outdoor speakers! This was a good purchase and perfect for my needs for a kickass stereo system in my backyard oasis!

Solid basic stereo receiver. Easy to set up and configure. Easy to pair with phone and stream music via blutooth. Perfect fit as sound source in area of house distant from primary home A/V system.

Very good sound quality; Bluetooth connectivity is very helpful -- can cast from my phone to this unit. Happy I selected this product.
