    My husban bought a stereo system 30 years ago when he was in the Army. I finally convinced him to upgrade the components. For the money this receive has been great for us. He has a 6 disc changer, TV, and 30 year old speakers hooked up to it. Everything is working and sounding fantastic. He had it set up in under 10 minutes.

    The Sony STRDH190 works great with the in-ceiling speakers that came with our new home. It's easy to use and allows us to stream our favorite music.

    Does what it needs to do and at a great price point. The only complaint I have is it automatically turns on when the Bluetooth on my laptop activated.

    Does exactly the job I bought it for, and it does it well. I'm using it a a Bluetooth preamp for my Phase Linear 500 amp driving my legacy ESS AMT 2 Rock Monitors in my garage. (My wife won't allow them in the house). Now, I have crystal clear sound from punchy bass to feather light highs at any volume I like...

    Exactly what I was looking for, at a price I can live with. Needed a shop stereo to play music over two small speakers in the clean room, and two large speakers in the outside shop. This has the watts to push the speakers, separate channels for inside and outside, and bluetooth to boot. Only way to make it better is to make it free.

    Wonderful receiver for streaming music via Bluetooth or listing to FM radio stations. This was purchased for the sun room/back yard area where complicated surround sound settings aren’t needed. Receiver has A/B speaker control allowing you to listen to music in two different areas or both at the same time.
