    Exactly what I wa spooking for. Ordered online and received damaged. Unit would not turn on. Took to the retail store to get it exchanged with no problem. Sound is great when I hooked up to my Bose speakers and the direct link with the phono player is and extra bonus.

    Replaced a 40 year old receiver amplifier with this. The sound is great. It looks good on my shelf. Plenty of RCA inputs for my existing equipment. The Bluetooth input capability is great, my wife loves connecting it to her phone to listen to music.

      Hi BJc1, Thank you for upgrading to your new STRDH190 receiver. Good to know you like the great sound quality, sleek design, multiple audio inputs, and easy Bluetooth pairing. 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. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Sam Sony_US

    This is the second Sony stereo receiver we've purchased for work. We use it to play music over the loudspeaker system in a warehouse. This is a very nice piece of equipment, especially enjoy the BT and streaming. Easy setup, powerful. Highly recommend!

    Just what I needed in my family room. A simple method to listen to 2 separate sets of speakers with A/B switch capability, via Bluetooth or the radio. Not part of a larger home theater. Sound is great and Bluetooth works flawlessly. Recommend.

    I picked up my product curbside with no problem. When I installed it in my system, it worked just as it was supposed to. I am delighted to find a replacement for my old Sony Stereo Receiver. It had finally given out after years of usage. Hopefully, the new one will give me as many years of service or more.

    Great bookshelf stereo. I bought it to replace an older “boom box”. This Sony has Bluetooth connectivity. So it makes streaming music easy and sounds great. I paired it with Sony’s SSCS5 5” 3way bookshelf speakers. Sound is amazing.

    It’s simple but works great. Bluetooth connection to phone is so simple. Drives a set of Kef bookshelf speakers in the bedroom. Amazing sound, and no sub. Does not have sub output, but can connect with speaker wires if necessary.
