Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easy hook up and it sounds great. I connected it to a cd player and my tablet to play Pandora.

Quality sound for my turntable and pre amp built in is convenient. The Bluetooth and number of inputs is great. Easy 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.

This is a must buy if looking for basic 2 channel receive. Smooth clear sound. Has Bluetooth and phono if needed. Great purchase.

I've been using a soundbar, and I haven't been able to distinguish voices very well, and just needed something to drive the sound better. This is a simple 100-watt receiver that fits my need perfectly. Of course, a lot depends on speakers. Also easy to pair and keep a Bluetooth connection, so I've been using my iPhone and tv, and I'm pleased with the cost and setup.

Just needed a basic AV Receiver for my parents. It was easy to set up. The menu was easy to navigate. It has the ability to receive audio from the TV so they can hear their streaming services.Also synced to their phones with Bluetooth for playing music.

I purchased this amplifier to replace an older Sony unit in my office. The amp is absolutely fantastic for the price - I bought an open box clearance unit for jyst under $100. It pushes out clean sound, drives the set of Yamaha dual 12" woofer tower speakers with plenty of juice to spare, and has a rock solid Bluetooth connection with my tablet and phone for streaming music and videos. You will not regret purchasing the DH-190!

Nice, powerful two channel with sub out and Bluetooth. Easy set up and provides rich sound.

Great sound, very well built. Bluetooth for your modern devices (phone/laptop/tablet, etc). If you need a basic receiver for playing MUSIC, this is for you. I'll save the research: if you're playing music, you don't need more than two channels because music is recorded on two channels (i.e., stereo). In fact, in my experience, playing music over a multi-channel system (5 or 7) takes away from the music. It makes it very hard to get into the "void" when you're with Alice D.

Great amp! Supports Bluetooth and sounds great. The remote included works really well, doesn't need to be pointed directly at the amp to send a signal. Great design too, visually.

So I purchased this because I wanted a stereo receiver with A & B speaker options so that I could split audio to 2 separate sets of speakers. This was to replace a 20+ year old Sony home theater receiver. In that regard it works fine. It has a solid number of basic input options including the Bluetooth which I have tested but typically don't use. Like the old one, I appreciate the basic design of the front as I am one of those that doesn't like a lot of lights, dials flair and flash. All in all it does everything as expected- with the exception that Sony has decided that the only input option for an FM antenna is a tiny, hair thin single wire type antenna befitting a motel alarm clock, not any kind of serious home use. Let me be clear, shame on me for not researching better but there is NO option for connection of a coax or even spade terminal 300 ohm antennas. I have a very good FM antenna at the highest point of my attic and with my old receiver connected via about 50 feet of coax I received A LOT of channels with excellent clarity. Much to my chagrin, this receiver got TERRIBLE reception no matter how I oriented the tiny wire. I came very very close to returning the receiver, but after a little online research I found that I could purchase two-wire connectors that would plug directly into antenna input. A 300-75 ohm balun and some soldering later I had an adapter that I could connect my coax antenna feed to and presto, got all my FM reception back. This is not a sophisticated piece of hardware as far as what it does, so the lack of a common, useful antenna connection cripples its use as an FM tuner. While I do use several streaming services, I can't be the only person that still wants an FM radio, particularly for listening to local sports without a subscription service or other methods of dubious legality. If you are interested in this primarily for over the air FM reception, be aware that it really requires a bit of DIY work to connect even a pair of rabbit ears

I needed simple, uncomplicated, 2 channel amp for music and a karaoke setup and this fits my needs perfectly, and without breaking the bank account. The Bluetooth connectivity works perfectly and really is nice for playing Spotify. It's like having a home jukebox. The menus are simple and easy to use. The remote is user friendly and it's nice to be able to change most of the settings without scrolling through a bunch of menus.

Great replacement for my old JVC receiver (1987!!). Never can go wrong with Sony stereo equipment and this is no exception. Awesome new technology with Bluetooth capability to stream music as well as a good receiver for over the air FM stations. No AM station capability but why would you use this for that purpose? I already notice a BIG difference in sound using my old school two foot high speakers. Highly recommended!

I needed a stereo receiver to play music while working on projects in my workshop. I got tired of small Bluetooth speakers that simply cannot represent sound the same way two spaced out speakers can. Pushing two MTX floor standing speakers and I’ve been enjoying work a bit more. Definitely Recommend buying used if you don’t need Bluetooth but Covid has made keeping old electronics from collecting dust difficult. Garage sales wouldn’t be smart right now.

Worth the price. Easy setup. Includes Bluetooth. Enough power to easily handle my large floor-standing pair of speakers. Good replacement for my no-longer-working 30-year-old Yamaha amp. Only wish: that it had a multi-band equilizer like the old Yamaha. The standard Treble/Bass adjustment just doesn't quite satisfy. I wish it had a bass-boost. But other than that, it fills the bill. I would recommend it.

What I’d hoped to get from this purchase is what I got - a $150 (sale price) receiver that enables my small Polk speakers to fill my living room with clear, clean music from my phone’s Bluetooth connection, my CD player, and my turntable. It has additional RCA connections if I can ever find room for the tape deck. The FM receiver works well for local stations, even with the included 10 cent wire “antenna.” It doesn’t have AM capability, but the Orioles games are simulcast on an FM sister station, so no worries there :) Just perfect for my needs! Note on my sub-ratings - only had it for a week, so I wanted to reserve judgement on Quality, and haven’t tried programming FM presets yet, so I wanted to wait to rate Ease of Use. But, Best Buy’s system forced me to pick a rating for those categories if I wanted to rate the receiver on Value. Best Buy might want to revise that protocol.

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.

I bought this to power my AT120X turntable. It's about as simple as it gets for a stereo receiver but for its purpose there's no need to over-complicate it. The remote is really handy for making basic EQ changes on-the-fly while listening. I actually prefer the phono preamp on the receiver vs. the one on the more expensive turntable. Only thing I wish it had was a sub out but at this price point I can't complain.

Best in class. Relatively cheap, but great sound. Nice Bluetooth features. Nice phono feature.

If you’ve never used Bluetooth before for connecting a source of music this thing will blow you away. I currently use it with a PC that has a Bluetooth connection. I turn on the PC and it automatically turns on this unit and allows me to stream the music directly from my PC through to the speakers. Sound is fairly clean and I’m happy with the purchase. I really didn’t expect it to work as good as it does for the price.
