    Great price and good quality. Bluetooth connects and works great. This receiver was better than expected. Running this unit with two Polk Audio bookshelf speakers in my garage. Would definitely purchase again.

      Hi RobL, thanks for commenting! We are truly happy to hear our STR-DH190 Stereo receiver with Bluetooth exceeded your expectations! We are also pleased it perfectly matches your Polk Audio bookshelf speakers. 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 so much for the 5 Star review and for choosing Sony!

    Works perfectly and eliminated a ground loop buzz I was struggling to get rid of. The Bluetooth capability is also a nice bonus. Pretty great quality for the price considering most decent receivers are not cheap.

    Excellent product. Great value. Bluetooth works great. Much preferred to my Onkyo TX-8020. Sadly, neither have an actual tape loop to patch in eq or room correction or a tape deck.

      Hi ckcoolic, Thank you for the amazing review! We're very happy to hear you like the Bluetooth function and you feel that the price is worth it. We appreciate your feedback. The current line of Sony receivers do not have a tape monitor loop. For this reason, it is not possible to connect an add-on equalizer to current Sony AV receivers. And most Sony receivers feature a built in Digital Signal Processing (DSP) Equalizer. The addition of an equalizer is not needed, and would provide no additional benefit to the overall sound output of the receiver. 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

    Great sound for the money. No all situations need surround sound but this does allow you to attach 4 speakers. You can turn on the unit simply by attaching via bluetooth which is a great option for locations the remote does not reach.
