      Hi AlanlW, Awesome! We're glad you like the Bluetooth function and powerful sound this unit delivers. 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

    Perfect for what I needed for the garage, didn’t need anything special. Had an older Sony stereo with an external Bluetooth receiver that would cut in and out all the time. Powers my two speakers with no problem, even get some radio stations I didn’t get before!!!

    Advised my parents to get this for their ourdoor speaker setup. Now have 4 yamaha 150w passive speakers setup outside, with the reciever inside. The reciever has the ability to play to either pair of speakers or to all 4 at once. We don't even have to raise it more than half volume for it to be more than loud enough for the entire backyard. Bluetooth connection does not reach that far, however we use an alexa connected via aux as the main input.

      Hi Garret, That's great! We're very happy to hear your parents are enjoying the powerful sound, AB speaker function, Bluetooth, and AUX feature of the Sony STRDH190 receiver. Please make sure to do the following to ensure optimal Bluetooth connection:
      • If there are obstructions between the
      receiver and your BLUETOOTH device,
      remove these or move the receiver

      Also make sure that the Bluetooth device and receiver are within the line of sight of approximately 30 m (98.4 feet),

      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.

    Great piece of audio equipment for the price. now in my 50s I just needed something I could Bluetooth pandora at a moderate volume level compared to 25 years ago as well as improve the quality of sound while watching the game or anything else on the Sony 75". We do have a surround system set up in the media room with a Sony 5.1 which is a completely different beast... if you're wanting theatre-style surround sound with your entertainment system then you will need to spend a bit more cash.. but for the money, the 2.0 is a great find in the right setup.

    Replaces my 30 year old Sony. Currently use it with Bluetooth, an old iPod (yes still working!) a CD player and the FM tuner for local stations. Pairs well with my original Sony speakers. Great flexibiliy most easily accesed through the complex remote, luckily paired with a clear instruction book (a real rarity these days.). Very satisfied.

    Very good buy at the price point. So good I bought two. I would've given it five stars but for the way speaker wire is connected to the amp. I don't like baring the tip of the input wire to the amp, and clamping it in. I like plugs.

    1st entry for low budget Hifi enthusiasts with 2 channels 100 watts/channel. It’s the best low price you can get for this type of stereo receiver. The sound is balanced and not colored. However, tone control is built in the receiver using remote control as “bass, treble”. It’s not a 5 star “to me” because it was not made with banana plugs for speakers and remote control for everything else. The ideal stereo receiver should have more input like Optical, Coaxial, subwoofer but that’s for more expensive system like Denon PMA-600NE $450. Overall, great deal if you buy this with open box item with lower price, balanced sound stereo with Sony Hi-Res label on it.

    Excellent service - I spoke with a guy who knew a lot more than I did - he explained the pros & cons, features on the various models. At the end of it all, with my minimal needs, he suggested this one - perfect for my needs, and the least expensive of the bunch! That's the kind of experience that brings me back.
