      Hi fearless20, We're glad to hear you love the sound quality and Bluetooth features of the unit. We also appreciate that you find it easy to set up. 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! -Sam Sony_US

    I didn’t need all these fancy hookups, just a good basic receiver to hook up a cassette deck CD, turn table, but it was a bonus getting the Bluetooth to play tunes from my phone. Simple to hook up too. Worth every penny. Glad they still make affordable equipment for us simple people.

    Simple, straightforward high quality receiver. It has a phone input which I know have my old turntable back in use! The power punch from its 100 watts per channel power my sony sub and 2 two way speakers fantastically.

    This receiver was perfect for what I needed. I wanted to set up a little turntable system so the built-in phono pre-amp was very helpful. Also didnt want to get too carried away with speakers so the 2.0 was just enough. Speakers I bought to go with it were 6ohm Sony 3-way bookshelf speakers. Audio quality was decent for a while, but then eventually (after about a week) it started shutting off on its own. I moved it to a more ventilated area, re-checked all the connections including speakers, changed power strips, went direct to the wall, changed outlets and tried it on a circuit with nothing on it, unplugged everything... same result every time. Would shut off for an hour, turn back on, and die again 20 mins later. It was great while it worked, but I had to return it and did not get another one because I didn't want to have to potentially return it again. Some other thoughts... the pin connectors for the speaker wire in the back were difficult to work with. I wanted to use 14ga wire but could barely get it in there without it fraying all over the place. Even 16ga was a challange. The volume knob felt very... not high end. Very plasticy feeling and a lot of weird resistance turning it that felt like a clickly plastic mechanism behind the knob. Great price and features and audio quality, was absolutely perfect for what I needed but ended up exchanging it for a more expensive receiver with features I don't need and getting a separate phono pre-amp. This is a great option though provided it works.

      Hi BenM, Thank you for the feedback on your experience with the STRDH190. We regret to hear that you ended up returning the unit. This is usually not the case for our receivers nor the experience we want you to have. But, we're still glad to hear that you liked the audio quality, built-in phono input, and it worked well with your Sony speakers. I hope you consider our Sony products in the future. Thank you for sharing your feedback. -Sam Sony_US

    Easy delivery. Set up easy to do. Impressed with Bluetooth distance from my iPhone to play on receiver. Wanted the FM stations for spontaneity and easy quick to pick up Penn State network on fm. But do miss the old style wheel selection that I could zero in on Baltimore stations even if scratchy. Technology improvements ok in some respects but not others. Has nothing to do with overall performance - sometimes old gives more.

    I returned his receiver because the only way to adjust treble and bass was through the remote control. Needless to say if the remote broke then it’s just a hassle. Returned it and bought the Yamaha at the same price - which by the way is pretty good. What I was looking for in a cheaper receiver.
