      Hi TimH, Great! We're thrilled to hear you appreciate the built quality, good sound, and ease of set up of the 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. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Sam Sony_US

    This is a great amplifier by Sony. I needed something good, but also fairly simple for my record player setup. I was impressed with its Bluetooth capability and overall performance. Connecting my speakers to it wasn’t too much of a struggle.

    I purchased this Sony Stereo Receiver in hopes it would be compatible with my home's Nuvo System that pipes music into four different rooms in the house. Perfect Match! I've been very pleased with the quality of this Receiver and the clarity of the music throughout the house.

    great sound on my 35 year speakers, old receiver stop working and nobody repairs locally so bought for the price and phono capability. So far performing well. Only concern is that a lot of sound adjustments are made threw the remote. takes time to get use to this.

    Bought on sale and good for price so far. For basic stereo this unit is far less complicated than a home theater type receiver. Used with 2 quality bookshelf speakers for easy listening music so not a demanding application. A few design quirks. Most of the controls are on the remote. Don’t damage it. The speaker wire connectors look like flip lock types but are just spring type things. Not very robust but seem ok. Fm reception is weak but uses a thin, straight, rather short wire. The female connection is apparently not compatible with any other better antennas. Fortunately, I don’t rely on FM listening or this would be a problem. Bluetooth streaming connection to my iPhone is very good and my only listening source.

      Hi Plantdoc, Thank you for purchasing the Sony STRDH190 receiver! We;re glad it works great with your bookshelf speakers and you like the built-in Bluetooth feature of your new receiver. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the remote having most of the controls, speaker port quality, and poor FM reception. Please be assured that the STRDH190 have a robust design which helps prevent any type of breakage under normal use.
      You can't connect an external FM antenna to your receiver, but you can improve the FM reception by following the steps below.

      Adjust the position of the supplied FM wire antenna (aerial) to a place where the reception condition is good.
      Place the antenna near a window.
      Position the antenna as horizontally as possible.

      Hope this helps!

    Bought a used receiver to listen to vinyl on a modern record player. Bit the dust after a few months, so I decided to go new. Great receiver; vinyl sounds great. Love being able to name the inputs on the display.

    I have had many Sony Receivers over the years. This one is easy to set up and work with. Nice change from the old one I had. Hopefully this one will last as long as my previous receiver. That one lasted about 20 years. I a haven't set up the blue tooth yet. But that's a nice feature.
