    I bought this to replace a much older receiver, and the sound quality is great for the price. With the Bluebooth capability, I can stream music and turn the receiver on and off from my phone. Very happy with it.

      Hi Parfl, Awesome! We're thrilled to hear you like the amazing sound quality and Bluetooth feature of your new receiver. The STRDH190 is a great choice for an upgrade. 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! -Jess Sony_US

    Sounds great for playing records. The knobs do feel kind of cheap but I mainly use the remote anyway. Bluetooth sounds and works great as well. Super happy with this receiver, especially for the price.

    Sony products have always been reliable for us. We use it to improve the sound quality of our television and it pairs easily with our iphone’s Blue tooth for listening to music. The price was also lower than the other available products.

    We love our new Bluetooth receiver! We recently signed up with Spotify, and wanted a new receiver that we could hook up our existing speakers to, and this one is perfect! I would have given 5 stars, except that the item wasn't received until a week after it was promised.

    Good inexpensive receiver. Have it paired with so mid range speakers and the sound is OK, I'm sure it can drive better speakers. BT is good but it connects and turns on as soon as it detects a device which is a little annoying. All in all a solid receiver for the money.

      • Turn off the BLUETOOTH function on the BLUETOOTH device.

    Bought this receiver on-line with pick-up at store. Service was very good. When I got this receiver and took it out of the box, the unit looks a lot better in person than on-line. It was a bit hefty which to me speaks to Sony making a solid unit. Then I hooked it up the dvd player and my Mirage speakers tweeked bass ,trebel, and mid range to suit the room. All I can say is wow I never thought I could get a unit with the sound bit puts out for well under $300.00. If you need a new receiver and you have a limited budget this is the one to buy! Bill K

    Easy connections with the speakers and CD player. Unfortunately, when we tried to connect our older turntable, it was unsuccessful and there was only a loud screeching noise. We are still trying to figure out if our turntable can be used with this system.

      Hi cooktop, We regret to hear that your turntable was unsuccessful in connecting to the STR-DH190 Stereo receiver with Bluetooth. To connect a turntable to a stereo system, the stereo system should have a PHONO input. If a PHONO input is not available, the turntable must have a built-in amplifier or an in-line amplifier must be used to connect the turntable to another input on the stereo system.
