Sometimes all you need is a great stereo
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I simply needed a stereo to drive my exterior patio speakers and 2 built-in kitchen speakers. This works great. I like that I can have a CD changer hard connected as well as drive the music via Bluetooth from my Ipad.

Perfect For What I Needed!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Exactly what I was looking for. A quality receiver to power my wired in wall speaker system. This has everything I needed to listen to radio, turntable and Bluetooth from streaming audio. Without all the home theater features that I didn't need. Plus it is at an affordable price.

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.

Conventional Stereo Receiver with Many Features
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great Buy
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great receiver for the price. We moved recently and had an extra set of Klipsch speakers. I purchased this receiver so I could use them in the garage. Always love Sony products. Great sound from the FM radio and I can pair my tablet to listen Pandora etc. Perfect for when I am working in the garage or yard. Also great for social distance driveway small gatherings.

Good unit for garage tunes, poor volume control
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice unit for garage tunes. The volume dial feels rather wonky when spun by hand as many have reported. Blue tooth connection and automatic turn on of unit from I-phone is very nice feature! Unfortunately, the volume control from the I-phone is limited at "50" maximum on the dial display which is ok for casual listening but not cranking to rock out. Poor design by limiting remote volume management to some arbitrary mid-level value.

Good Performance, Low Price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was replacing a Sony receiver that was having issues after several decades. I chose this one because of the good experience I had with my older unit, and because of the reasonable price. It seems to provide quality sound. The two downsides from my perspective: (1) it has only FM, no AM; (2) the all-black front looks sleek, I guess, but it is very difficult to see the controls and buttons in low or dim light.

Posted .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.

Perfect for Vinyl
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you're looking for something that also has the flexibility to play your vinyl collection, look no further. This blows away some others I've tried and just has a fuller, more visceral sound, at less than half the price. Handy bass/treble adjustments directly on the remote, so you can fine tune based on the song/album.

Worth checking out!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have not had luck with amplifiers lately. This one had great reviews so I purchased it. So far I really like it. No real complaints for the amp. I have it hooked up to a pair of Klipsch RF-7s. So far the amp has performed well. After the amp warms up and I find the sweet spot on the volume I turn pure direct on and it sounds great. I don’t believe you’ll find a comparable amp at this price point.

Sony 2-ch Stereo Receiver with Bluetooth.

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.
