Can't have your cake and eat it...
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very nice receiver. I was going to use it when I played my drums but when you plug in the headphones, you don't get any sound through your speakers. I had to change it out for a Yamaha receiver that I had upstairs. You can have your cake and eat it with that one. So beware because they say nothing of the headphones in the description or in the manual except that #15 on the receiver front panel is a headphone jack. Not the first time that Sony has disappointed me. Price is good though.

Posted .Hi Justdrumminaround, We appreciate the feedback. Unfortunately, when you plugged in the headphones to the unit, you will not be able to hear the sound on your speakers at the same time. -Sam
Needs brighter lights and a fm connection!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Would have given 5,except 2 things.The lack of antenna connection is a joke,and even though you can dim the front lights,it doesn’t get bright enough to actually read unless there’s no lights on. Maybe Sony thinks that people who listen to stereos ,do so in a the dark to enhance the experience?If anything,lights should be brighter for us old people who still listen to stereo receivers

Works amazing

Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I live in an area where good radio reception is an issue. I tried a bunch of FM antennas with poor results. I purchased this receiver primarily for streaming music from my IPad. It works very well and I no longer have to worry about weak radio signals and static.

Posted .Hi FirstApple, Thank you for the great review! We're very happy to hear you're enjoying streaming music from your iPad using your new Sony STRDH190 receiver. You can't connect an external FM antenna to your A/V receiver, but you can improve the FM reception.
Adjust the position of the supplied FM wire antenna (aerial) to a place where the reception condition is good.
Place the antenna near a window.
Position the antenna as horizontally as possible.

Great product for the price
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great, super easy to setup and use with the bluetooth features. I bought this to use with my outdoor speakers on my deck. I setup the receiver in the garage and the deck is on the other side of the house. Once I hook up my phone I am able to adjust volume and control my music all from my phone when I'm on the deck and around the yard. Works great for everything I needed.

Sony Bass Eliminator
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.2* because it worked and was available and Best Buy's return policy, but the sound quality is extremely poor so I returned it. Reviewers that claim power and good sound are either reviewing something else or have no clue about quality sound!!! Tone controls at full and no bass. I have an 85 watt per channel 1976 vintage amp that must be really be 850 watts based on the way the Sony 100 WPC amp sounds. I bought it because Sony is a solid, quality firm. Yeah it is not expensive but based on my 45 years of Hi Fidelity experience, this amp is closer to a 15 watt per channel amp good for some tiny book shelf speakers where one would NOT expect good bass. Seriously, this amp competes with a hi quality CLOCK RADIO at best. Sony, don't say sorry, please explain why you let this amp out with your name on it claiming 100 watts/Ch.
