Awesome Receiver.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Good value!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great item, just took longer than promised
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!

Good system for the money
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Best Bang for the buck
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Looked around at other stereo receivers that have Bluetooth and the Sony was the best bang for the buck.

My Sony Story
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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

Quality product, but not perfect for us.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Posted .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.
