Getting used to the remote when I am normally a button and tuner knob guy took a bit but for the price around$200 I think it plays well, more than power for good speakers and technics turntable and Onkyo disc player sound great

Can’t beat this receiver for about a 150.00. Lots of clean power. Easy to set up and use.Had a little difficulty connecting my tv… but all you need is a plain 3.5 mm aux cable. It’s has a remote control and connects to blue tooth effortlessly. Oh.. and it has a phono output for your turntable with a ground wire to reduce interference and a gain to optimize the volume to other sources.

I've had one of these units in my garage for years. I've had no issues despite it being a dusty, non-climate controlled environment. This always provides a decent sound quality and connects to my phone without issue

Needed a replacement for an old Pioneer with an option to connect via Bluetooth, as well as use a CD player and 80s Technics turntable. Pairs well with multiple devices via bluetooth. Sounds good to my earsI paired with early 80s Panasonic speakers. Simple; drives my analog and digital enough for my room. No complaints after almost a year. Now I just need a Sony Walkman for bopping around. Like a tape Walkman.

For the price point, it's really hard to beat this for a home turntable set-up. I run 4 speakers (2 bookshelf speakers and 2 subs) through this, and also have a tv running through it. The ease of turning off the subs when watching something like sports or news on tv with the press of a button is a nice feature.
It won't replace an equalizer if you're trying to tune your sound (I run a seperate equalizer through it since I'm a jazz record guy and I like to be precise with sound), but it offers a solid out of the box sound. Volume output is surprisingly loud and clear if you like to crank up the music like I do.

Awesome receiver for $150.00 I was very skeptical at first,I am an avid music listener,Blue tooth connection worked flawlessly, I put an addition off my home and installed ceiling speakers (4) with a powered sub woofer. I can't tell you how elated I am with the sound it produces (and believe me ,I like it loud and full) 2.0 channel delivers music the way it is made to be heard. The only thing I didn't quite like and it"s minimal.. is that if your listening at loud levels and you go to turn down volume on smart phone/device... is that the volume drops dramatically . Like from 69-70 level (full blast) .to 50 on volume level.But if you use the remote that is included you can avoid this small problem. and to sum things up, I like it sooooo much that I bought a second one for my garage .

Purchased this receiver to replace an old surround sound receiver I no longer used for TV that was using just for music. I use both A and B speaker selection as I use it for indoor and outdoor music. FM stations come in crystal clear. Has plenty of power for both sets of speakers. Built in Blutooth works great with no issues. Remote is easy to use and laid out well. I tried to plug my turntable into the phono input and it sounded terrible. Found out it must have an amp built into it. Plugged it into the input 1 port and it sounded great. I love it my only complaint and it is VERY small is that you really have to turn the travel on the volume knob for it to change much. One complete rotation is like going up from volume level 5 to 8.

This is a great receiver! You gets lots of features and excellent sound quality for a reasonable price! The bluetooth works great with my phone for streaming services, and I also use it for my record player, and CD changer which both sound amazing as well! The FM tuner is also nice to have, with 30 presets, though you can only program 3 channels on the remote which is odd, but I don't listen to FM that often anyways. I'm also not sure why they didn't include an AM radio tuner either, which is strange. However, I mainly got this for playing records, cd's, and streaming which all work, and sound really well on this receiver, and at a great price!

The Sony STRDH190 is a basic Stereo Receiver that covers all the basics for enjoying your music collections. The Phono Input allows you to use any turntable to play your vinyl collection and the other inputs are suitable for CDs, MP3s etc. The Bluetooth input allows for easy connection to a cell phone. There are no HDMI inputs or outputs so this is truly a music focused stereo receiver. The included remote controls all the basic functions but is not a "universal" remote. Sound quality is very good with plenty of power for my bookshelf speakers. Overall, I'm quite pleased with this stereo receiver.

We purchased this Sony receive to replace an old, high quality, Rotel tuner/receiver that we have had for over 50 years. It is the perfect replacement model as it supports all the inputs the Rotel supports, except for the fact there is no AM tuner. There are even A, B speaker connections that allow both speaker channel sets to be in use concurrently. The sound quality from it is excellent. We love the bluetooth feature that allows us to connect our PCs to it for additional sources of music. The price was excellent!

I had this receiver for almost a year now and I love it. It was very affordable and is perfectly matched to my Sony bluetooth turntable. It sounds great connected to my SVS prime satellite 2.1 speaker system. I needed a receiver and this one perfect.

I have been a fan of Sony products for many years. This receiver meets my needs well. I am using the receiver for my home gym so I only need two channels. It has plenty of power for loud and clean sound and enough inputs and outputs to connect all of the sources I use. I especially like the phono input so I can play LPs without a phono adapter. My phone links up reliably through bluetooth to play music while I use my phone's other functions. The remote is handy and also controls a Blue Ray player connected to the receiver. I only wish that there was a powered USB port in the front panel to charge up the phone while playing, since the USB port on the back panel does not provide power.

Great piece, i needed a simple amp to switch between a couple sources including Bluetooth capability when we’re at the racetrack camping. Super easy to use, virtually zero setup. Drives 2 Polk 6.5” monitors very well and is loud and clean. Will use in my shop when not at the track. Awesome piece

First, it's a Sony. Sony has been around a long time and have produced reputable products and this unit is no exception. It has enough bells and whistles to keep you happy like bluetooth, turntable input and a few others. It will accept 4ohm speakers up to 8ohms and a remote control. It's eezy-peezy for someone like me who just wants to hook up his turntable, use my phone to bluetooth my preferred music and enjoy the great sound it produces.

If you're still trying to decide between this one, or the Yamaha or Insignia receiver, just stop. This is the one. I needed this receiver to power a pair of 100 watt Sony bookshelf speakers I have in my listening room. I also needed a receiver with a Phono input for my record player, Bluetooth, and an Aux port. This receiver MORE than met the challenge. It also has A and B speaker channels, but I'll likely never use that function. In short, this receiver rocks. Great purchase all around.

I bought this product based on some features same level of products other brands don´t bring. Phono input is a must when it comes to connecting a turntable and you prefer not to use additional gear. Bluetooth, on the other hand, is also a mist for those who just want to play music at home without the need of standing close to the source of sound. The sound is clear throughout all the frequencies in the spectrum or, at least, at those frequencies my rusty ears still can percieve. I recommend this product.
