Excellent, excellent value!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wow, what am amazing product. Should be priced in the $500 range for what you get. Sound quality leans toward the lively top end and solid, solid bass. Speaker paring will matter. I paired this with Mirage OM7 speakers and it was magic. This is a warm sounding speaker overall. Vocals amazing. I found this receiver sounds better than anything from Yamaha, Marantz, and Denon. I know, pretty bold statement to make but I stand by it. It could not quite match my older Hk3400 receiver which had a fuller, richer sound, especially in the bottom end. If I didn't do a side by side I wouldn't have missed the HK. I wish Sony would do three things: raise the price to $200-$250 and include a USB flash drive input, add a couple of HDMI inputs, and replace the spring clips with banana plugs for the speakers terminals. Other than that this is the best value receiver today, even at its current price. Period! Well done Sony.

Simply awesome if you don't need it to pull fm.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I shopped around for days comparing. Bluetooth is seemless. When you turn on your phone bluetooth it automatically turns on unit and vice versa. With 100 watt speakers it absolutely cranks. Ability to pull fm channels without static is a 5 out of 10. But I bluetooth everything anyway.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re happy to hear you are enjoying your STR-DH190 Stereo receiver especially its Bluetooth function. In case of poor FM stereo reception and “ST”

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.

Awesome
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Much better than I anticipated. I ran this receiver through my tv and Bose 901 speakers which require huge power. I am under powering it with this 2 channel receiver. Nevertheless the sound is still incredible. My only wish is that this receiver had a loudness switch to hit the strong bass. It’s the best for the price and features

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice old school stereo with Bluetooth. Bluetooth was pretty easy to add. Stereo does not have a subwoofer or preamp hook up, but I am still able to add my powered NHT subwoofer to this system. This receiver does have a hook up and ground for your turntable. Great sound for the price.

Good stereo receiver for the money.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a basic stereo receiver as it has no HDMI inputs/outputs. I needed it to power some built in speakers indoors and another set outdoors. There are 2 sets of speaker outputs which was perfect. It has a Bluetooth input so it’s easy to stream music off my iPhone or for SiriusXM streaming. For the money it’s a good receiver. I recommend it.

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.

Great value and bang for your buck!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed a receiver so I had a power source for my record player and multi disc CD player. The Sony 2.0 fit my needs perfectly. It was easy to program and sync up (Bluetooth) with music on my IPhone. The ONLY drawback for me was that my previous stereo receiver had two outlets and this has none.

Great, simple receiver
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This receiver has been fantastic. It has helped to update my stereo system in my shed. The sound is fantastic and the addition of bluetooth has made it even better when not running a CD player or additional add-ons. I highly recommend it if you are just looking to update an old system with two speakers and a sub woofer.

The receiver has everything you could need and connects quick if you use Bluetooth. The quality of sound is surprisingly high, which at first I was skeptical due to the lower price. But crank these speakers up and they do not disappoint.

Ok for the money
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good unit for power, priced right; some features like bluetooth, but would be nice if it had an hdmi port. Speaker connections on rear are too small and somewhat flimsy; one broke on trying to connect banana plug to it. Since it had room for A and B speakers, I just use one now. Manual is a little too difficult for me to understand.

Great Value
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great price on this Receiver, decent power, with phono and sub-woofer capabilities. The only knock, is the proprietary FM antenna plastic clip hook-up. Really Sony! Please upgrade it with an RCA type jack, so that better antenna options can be used, to pull stations, without static.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought this to replace an earlier model of the same which failed after about ten years of service. That I'll quickly add was the only misgiving I have about this unit. Other than that it's a solid no-frills unit with great sound. Set-up is extremely straightforward with the directions complete and easy. At the price you (literally) would be hard pressed to find better.
