    This is a pretty good 2 channel receiver for the price. Keep in mind the device is limited because of the 2 channels. However, if you're only wanting to run say a couple big speakers then this is definitely one you should choose.

      Hi Greens19678,

      Thanks for the feedback. We’re happy to hear you are enjoying 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!

    I needed to replace an old receiver. This has a pretty decent output. A little odd that the tone controls are on the remote, but they work pretty good. The bluetooth was an unexpected bonus. Would have got five stars if it would have had AM radio in addition to the FM

    I am a big fan of Sony and sine I got this receiver at a really great price I can’t complain too much but one of the reasons that I bought this model was because it had separate phono input jacks. They must have a short in them because the speakers hum when you plug into them and the turntable sounds like the needle is touching sandpaper. So I plugged the turntable into another input Jack and it works fine. I would have taken it back, but I really didn’t need more input jacks. The sound is fine for the price that I paid.

    Love you can turn it on by connecting your phone to it via bluetooth. Don't love that you can't turn it off when you disconnect bluetooth. You have to still get within eye sight of the receiver to turn it off using the provided remote.
