    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.

      Hi itchykawa,

      You made the right choice! We're glad that you are enjoying the sound quality 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. 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!

      Hi RyanW,

      Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the STRDH190. We're glad that the receiver is perfect for your bookshelf speakers. For a receiver that supports more channels, we recommend the STRDH590 or STRDH790.

      The STRDH190 is still an amazing 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.

    It has just enough kick to power the Sony speakers I bought and my 18 year old JBLs. When I run both A and B i am very satisfied. Not my wife but I have no buyers remorse.

    We’ve owned several Sony amps, and their stuff just gets better and better! Plug it in and go. Zero setup! Amazing sonic clarity. We (still!) have a turntable, and the phono input is nicely balanced.

    picked this up with two klipsch tower speakers few months back. phenomenal set up. plenty of settings on the receiver and tons of power. didn’t want to spring for a phono pre amp and a new receiver and covered all my bases. my only wish and only draw back was no sub input.

    We use it to pump music out to the pool area. Bluetooth has great range, so no problem picking up phones or other devices from outside. Enough power to get plenty loud. Great value at a little over $100.
