Posted .Hi Franck,
We’re happy to hear you are enjoying your STR-DH190 Stereo receiver with Bluetooth.

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!
Thank you for choosing Sony!

Great Buy!
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought it to use with a turntable. Most a/v receivers only give you two channels from a record player and you have to buy a separate pre-amp. Well this gives you four channels and you can connect a sub that uses a bare wire input and then connects to your two front speakers from out of the sub. Excellent and it does Bluetooth as well as other inputs, some TVs even have a RCA out, the red and white ends that will work.

review
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Even though I have set the BT Menu to STBY OFF (standby off), it sometimes comes on or changes from another setting to BT when I open and turn on my laptop, and sometimes it doesn't. I've learned to live with it and otherwise, it serves me well.

Posted .Hello jo264,
We’re sorry to hear that you’re experiencing issues with your Sony STR-DH190 while using STBY feature .
To resolve this, please try the following steps:
Distance Management: Try to keep a reasonable distance between your laptop and the receiver if possible, to avoid unintended Bluetooth interaction.
Turn Off BT Power in AMP Menu: Make sure the BT power is turned off in the AMP menu when not in use. This will prevent the receiver from automatically switching to Bluetooth mode.
Reset the Receiver will help if there is a glitch in the software:
Press (power) to turn off the receiver then press and hold (power) for 5 seconds

Worth the buy
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This receiver works great and sounds great. I have had no issues at all. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is it does not have AM. Thankfully the Bluetooth works great so I can listen to am stations through that.
