    This is a great cheap stereo for the price. Really good sound decent power and for channel support. Love the Bluetooth but don’t like the fact that when you turn up the device, it turns on the stereo view as well.

      Hi PatrickS, We're glad to hear you feel that the STRDH190 is worth its price! And good to know you like the great stereo sound and Bluetooth feature of this unit. 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! Thank you for choosing Sony! -Sam Sony_US

    Bought this to replace an older stereo for my TV in my bedroom. While I liked the Bluetooth audio and the phono hookup and other aux hookup but it did have a separate jack that uses headphone jack to headphone jack for like an I-Pod or other portable devices I was not pleased with the radio side of this stereo it had FM only you couldn't manually tune the radio it has seek and preset function only plus it has no AM the FM antenna has only one wire and does not have any external connections for a stronger antenna hookup. For the price it's a nice two channel 100 watts total output stereo it's great for making any TV sound much better than the speakers that came with the TV. It does come with a remote.

    The sound quality is very good for a receiver at this price point. It's purely analog; no digital inputs or outputs on this thing, but that's what DACs are for. Nice phono stage and an FM tuner. Probably the reason for the less than perfect rating is the lack being able to precisely manually tune to your stations. Instead I have to rely on auto scanning to lock on. It doesn't always do that.

    I had a previous Sony receiver model that lasted me several years before replacing it with this one. I love it has a phono input and bluetooth is an added bonus which works without any issues. I would absolutely recommend this receiver to connect a turntable to.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.
