Many appreciate its affordable price and the inclusion of a phono input for turntables. While some users mentioned the bass could be improved, and the volume control could be more refined, the overall feedback is overwhelmingly positive.

    This seems like something that would be hard to set up but it's actually pretty straightforward and the instructions are very well made. If you're looking for an affordable sound system for almost any home I think this is a great option.

      Hi ChristianW,

      Thank you for the positive feedback! We're glad to hear that you had an easy time setting up the AV 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! Thank you for choosing Sony!

    Great unit. I was looking for a radio with selectable speaker channels to use in a Pool Shack for running both indoor and outdoor speakers. A & B channels allows you to select one or the other or both at the same time. Bluetooth works very well and connects fast and easy. No complaints, would definitely purchase again. Very sleek looking and well built.

    I bought this a a back up due to the older receiver acting up. I tried it out and it works great, just the replacement I was looking for when the other goes out. The Phono connections is a plus, I have a TEAC turntable with the old LP's this will work.

    Receiver works well - easy to use. Needed for hard wired speakers in home . Plan to hook up tv for more surround sound. Price was appropriate and in stock at local Best Buy. Recently bought another one with more stations for another part of home -Yamaha - which worked well too. Both quality names and quality products.

      Hi inpersonnotonline, Thank you for the feedback on your experience with your Sony STRDH190 receiver. We're glad you like the great sound quality, adjustable treble and bass, and A/B speaker switch function of this receiver. We also appreciate your feedback about the size of the speaker connectors. We highly recommend connecting speaker wires that are anywhere between 12 to 16 gauge which are most commonly used for connecting speakers to an amplifier or an Audio/Video (A/V) receiver.

    Conventional Stereo receiver which includes a very sensitive FM tuner and accepts bluetooth, phonograph, and 4 additional inputs. Quality sound when matched with my Polk speakers. Full function remote control that is easy to use. The largest deficiency is its lack of an ethernet or WIFI interface. Note that this receiver is a 2.0 receiver and should not be compared to larger 5.1, 7.1, etc. systems.
