Great upgrade to an older Kenwood
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this to replace a very old Kenwood (pre-HDMI) receiver. The difference between the two was like night and day. The sound quality is much better and the features included are a definite upgrade from the 12-year-old Kenwood it replaced. The on-screen GUI leaves a little to be desired and the setup instructions aren't the greatest. Also, I was disappointed that the hi-level speaker connections didn't use binding/banana posts for all of the connections (only the fronts use binding posts; the center and rears use spring-connectors), a small gripe, but I prefer the banana post connections. Still, the unit was a much needed upgrade and offers many features that I didn't have previously.
I would recommend this to a friendSony STR-DH590 has design limitations
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this 5.1 multi-channel receiver to replace my old Sony SDR DH500 that I bought from Best Buy in 2009. This unit is intended to be a comparable replacement, but Sony has chosen to eliminated a few features that may disappoint some users. If your primary purpose is enjoyment of music and radio broadcast this receiver may not be your best choice. To access all the features built into this receiver you will need to connect to your HDTV with a HDMI cable. The AM tuner has been eliminated (not a critical high-fidelity music source). The FM tuner is good quality, but the balanced 75 ohm antenna input has been eliminated and replaced with a cheap wire alternative. That means you cannot connect to a high quality exterior antenna or a power amplified interior antenna (such as TERK) if reception is an issue. Some components are noticeably cheaper quality than I see on my two older Sony audio receivers. One of the speaker wire connectors on this unit broke when I switched out my old Sony receiver. I am thankful for the excellent Best Buy return policy. You will need to be very careful working with these delicate connections. Now that vinyl records are becoming more popular, you may wonder why Sony has eliminated the phono pre-amp that is required if you still want to use your old turntable and moving magnet cartridges with RCA audio cables. However, you can purchase a very good external preamp for less than $100. I was also disappointed to find that there is no control knob to adjust speaker balance or modify bass and treble output (these adjustments require connection to your HDTV). My HDTV has a separate audio system and I will need a 20 foot HDMI cable to fully control this receiver. I don’t know why Sony does not offer an option to control this receiver through a USB cable to a PC or tablet computer for those who don’t intend to use it as the primary audio component of their HDTV. And it’s disappointing to see the quality of Sony components decline year after year with every new model release.

Posted .Hi PeteD,
Thank you for the feedback. We really appreciate the time you took to share so many details about your experience with the AV receiver. It is unfortunate that the unit had to be returned. If you want an AV receiver that supports phono input, we recommend our STR-DH190. Thank you for sharing your experience and we hope you will consider Sony again in a future purchase.

Great receiver
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Only had it a few weeks, but it has performed very well. I like that the volume level stays where it was left when turned off. Turning on the tv and selecting home on the roku turns on the receiver, which is a nice bonus. Overall I would say it is a good buy.

Stereo systems.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a good stereo receiver, not as powerful as it states. No amp for highs and lows. Also, you have to set the sound just right to get the best sound. But good for the price, woud like better adjustments for treble and bass.
