Posted .Hi Kate,
We are sorry to hear that. We recommend connecting wired speakers with a nominal impedance of 6 ohms to 16 ohms. We also recommend using speaker wires that are anywhere between 12 to 16 gauge. These are most commonly used for connecting speakers to an amplifier or an Audio/Video (A/V) receiver. Also, double-check your speaker pattern and make sure its correct. See page 38 from this link for more details.

I Love This Sony STR-DH590
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this Sony STRDH590 at the Myrtle Beach store when they were out of stock. An employee offered me an open box unit that they did have. I declined at which time he offered to complete an online order for me. I agreed and completed the purchase. Two days later my new receiver was delivered. Unfortunately, the unit was damaged so I put it back in the box and returned it to the Myrtle Beach store. They quickly and pleasantly with a smile swapped me out a new one that had just arrived in that days delivery. I took it home and hooked it up via the HDMI ARC connection, hooked up all 6 speakers and sat back in my lazy chair recliner for a test drive. I chose "HD Digital Cinema Sound" HD DCS surround mode and went to a video 5.1 Dolby Atmos demo video. This Sony does not offer ATMOS Surround Sound but Dolby ATMOS is compatible. A little background on extremely modest speaker selection... First my main stereo left and right channels are fantastic and very affordable Polk RC 55i In-Wall speakers painted to the wall color. Center channel is a Sony 3 way wedge, rear surround are two fair quality box speakers on brackets. This inexpensive setup is offered a little punch with a JBL 10" 200 watt subwoofer. Cut to the chase! For the investment I never expected this entry level Sony to come out with shining stars. (keep in mind i was replacing 4 vintage Crown PL-3 Amps and 2 Crown SL-2 Preamps with 6 floor standing speakers) This little guy is all I will ever need. Sound quality is fantastic and the output power is more than accommodating in my smaller 270 sq ft theater room. I highly recommend this receiver to anyone excluding of course the extremely critical audiophile. PS: The only thing that I could not figure out in the settings was how to not turn on and off the receiver when I turned on and off the TV via remote without disabling the HDMI ARC receiver function completely which is not even a viable choice. I love the HDMI ARC connection and every audio source hooked to the other HDMI jacks on my TV comes through the receiver & surround. When I figure this out I'll let those who care know. My dad would call this review Deira of the Mouth. Enjoy

No Dolby atmos
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works for what it is but wish it had Dolby atmos support.

Posted .Hi Craftcrasher,
Thank you for the review. Unfortunately, the STRDH590 does not support Dolby atmos. If you wish to upgrade in the future, we recommend our STR-DH790. Sounds like you’ve upgraded your home entertainment system to work with the latest 4K TV’s and HDR sources. Equipped with 4 HDMI inputs, Bluetooth and a host of advanced features, your new receiver is ready for whatever and wherever your content takes you. Thank you for choosing Sony!
