Love this!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this receiver to upgrade my turntable situation, but I find myself using for much more than that. Currently I have it set up with a pair of bookshelf speakers and the sound is incredible. Vinyl sounds great, the Bluetooth functionality is really intuitive and smooth. Highly recommend.

Posted .Hi Paul, Great! Good to know you've upgraded to your new STR-DH190 Stereo receiver with Bluetooth. We're glad to hear it works perfectly with your speakers and you like the audio quality! 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

Bang for the buck if 2 channels is enough for ya
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this to drive some speakers for an electronic drum kit. It's loud and sounds great. Hard to beat the value if you only need stereo sound.

Great receiver
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this Bluetooth receiver for my husband to replace his 27+ year old Kenwood that recently died. It was easy to connect to our tv and other components and the sound is very clear. Although it is not quite as loud as the old Kenwood it works great for watching movies in stereo and playing music.

Good power and sound quality.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good power and sound quality; however, I deducted a star because almost all adjustment to the sound have to be done through the remote which is clunky to use. Would be much more user friendly if it had non-remote adjustments or a more intuitive remote. Still a very good value for all the power you get and the low distortion and low noise in the sound.

A Bit Disappointing
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Although this is an adequate stereo amp for the price, the sound signature is woefully inadequate. Even with bass and treble at their highest setting, there is little richness in the sound. Poor bass response isn’t helping the situation. Essentially a very flat sounding amp. If you’re looking for a basic analog amp to enjoy spinning some vinyl and hearing that classic 70’s warmth and expansive sound stage, look elsewhere.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Bluetooth, Phono input
Works well, decent output, phono input
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Basic Sony stereo tuner and amp. Bluetooth input for streaming, phono input and several others, tuner has to be manually set, up and down without a knob so taking off one point for that. This unit works well in the den with some Pioneer shelf speakers and great to play old vinyl with. Volume control is huge, comes with a decent remote too. Wish could tune stereo from the remote.

Great enhancement to my TV's sound.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It installed in mintes, connected to my TV and DVD players and gives excellent sound quality. It makes the sound quality of the TV shows much clearer. I also like th Blue Tooth connectivity from my Cell Phoone.

great budget system
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great choice to replace the tired receiver in an old stereo. My Onkyo was acting weird and it was time to retire her, this was a great choice and unbeatable at this price point. It sounds good and has plenty of power and a built in preamp for those with a turntable.

Old-school capabilities
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is perfect for me in enabling connections to my dual cassette tape deck player/recorder, my turntable and CD player. It has enough power for my two bookshelf speakers at 100 watts per channel, and even if I wanted to connect four or six speakers. I still have three more input jacks available. The price is also outstanding!

Nice and basic.
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Totally solid starter amp for anyone looking to build an old school stereo system. The bluetooth receiver works well and the overall sound quality is clean and well separated, if not exceptionally full an detailed.

Good Brand, Good Buy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In my office I needed a clean sounding amplifier without a lot of high power. I don't want to blast the music. This unit fit the bill perfectly. It has excellent sound clarity, low distortion and enough power to power my two Energy speakers for the level of volume I need for mostly classical and jazz music. Sony is a company that produces good quality for all price ranges and audio equipment.

Great for my need
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought a house with pre-installed speaker system. Just needed a receiver with Bluetooth to connect to the wall posts. This unit and a little speaker wire (not included; wish it was) works perfectly. Basically plug and play. Speaker wire install is easy and Bluetooth setup is too.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great product. My old Sony from Radio Shack (yes it was that old) finally gave up on me. This new Sony is sleek, powerful, easy to set up with my turntable speakers and such. And the cost was well within my budget. Highly recommend. Tlr4309
