      Hi Garyl, We’re happy to hear you are enjoying the overall features of your STR-DH190 Stereo receiver with Bluetooth. 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! -Sam Sony_US

    Solid stereo receiver that performs well for the price. Not many "Bells and Whistles" but it sounds great! I have been using it daily for almost five months without any issues!

    For one of the less expensive, 200W receivers, it produces great bass, and an overall good sound. For us turntable owners, the built-in phono preamp is a plus.

    I bought it in the sale for $100, and it's the best I can get in the market at that price. Bluetooth based connectivity. If you need it and is on sale for $100, buy it. Won't regret it.

    It's exactly what I was looking for, for my turntable. Solid build. Nice features (bluetooth) and enough customization for EQ. The remote control is nice when you're across the room.
