    Nice receiver for the money. One feature missing is electrical outlets on the backside that allow it and connected items be turned on and off through the receiver.

    I was looking for a stereo only receiver for my garage/shop. Using for stereo music in the the shop and with outdoor speakers. Does well pushing my old Klipsch K4's as well as the Kicker outdoor speakers. Bluetooth has good range as I can control it from outside the garage with all doors to garage closed at about 50-60 feet.

    The Sony STR-DH190 exceeds all my expectations for listening to albums and radio broadcasts. If you are more interested in home theater audio gear this may not be your first choice.

    I wanted to buy an inexpensive receiver with a remote control for my TV audio. I have a couple of really old very high quality speakers (15" bi-axial Altec-Lansing). This amp powers them amply and the TV audio is great (further enhanced with a new Polk sub-woofer). I'm very pleased with the product's performance.

    This unit is a great buy. I use it with the crosley ridgemont phono,cassette, Bluetooth unit with two old speaker cabinets I had now I can play nearly any media source for around $300. Easy install haven’t experienced any noise other reviews mentioned.

      Hi Happy,

      Great! We're glad that you found the perfect 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! Thanks for choosing Sony!

    I'm at the age where I like things uncomplicated. This unit fit the bill for me. It is well built and looks good any place you put it. If you're looking for something to blow all the windows in the house this is not the one for you. It has a good range of sound that is crisp and clear.

    Great receivers or the price. The receiver doesn’t have many inputs for a home theater set up, it does have Bluetooth function and phone input for a turn table. When matched with a set of floor speakers, a complete simple system can be achieved with this receiver.

    Thought about getting a hi-fi set up for my living room but opted for this instead. I don't have a crazy speaker set up and this little beauty does the trick. Bluetooth will connect it to anything too, so I can spin some wax, rock a CD, or play whatever from my phone.

    I bought a Sharp Roku TV and added it to his to make a streaming media system for my dad that was easy and could do Spotify, Roku, Amazon Music and such for his home audio system. I worried that the impedance was too low, but it had no problem. I functions well at impedance much lower than specified.

    This is a good unit. It is well built and looks sleek. The sound is full and warm. I have it running into a couple of Polk Audio speakers. There is sonic detail and decent imaging. The only thing I did not like was that the tone controls are only accessible on the remote. I like more control over my sound than that. Otherwise, I am quite pleased.

    This little unit works well. Blue tooth connection with my iphone is flawless. For the price it fit my needs. The majority of the time it is being used it plays FM music for the dog. I did hook up my turntable and CD player and that is a snap.

    I purchased this receiver so I could hook up a Sony turntable that had been sitting in the closet since 2015. I am so glad I did. This has enabled me to be able to play albums I have collected since the 1970’s. I am thoroughly pleased and it is easy to operate.

    For any piece of electronics, like this, at Under $200.00; you’re either buying a circular saw or a Bluetooth speaker. Yes, they had to sell it AT a profit to stay in business But they wanted to prove that technology has something good for anyones budget. This IS only a “Stereo” receiver (not 9 or more channels) and has only 100 watts per channel, with them Both running @ the same time; with a very good FM tuner/radio; plus some on board digital processing and includes a name brand to back it up for two years....I know of no other that comes with this and IS well built, solid features, good looking and affordable as this is...I forgot, this has a phono preamp (for using a Turntable/for vinyl records) Who said it’s an entry level component? I’ve shopped to only to find out that I would pay 2-3 Times the price of this one, to only gain few useful features at $400-500! I thought if this is the case, On the technical and practical side, only your application for this could be of question. For some outrageous reason/issue, it doesn’t works out, there are many other places this will just make you smile, for a very long time. Bust Buy is your Value and cost leader (So Don’t get lost) P.M.L.
