    Going from a 2.1 system to a 5.2 system makes a huge difference. We run our audio and video through this receiver into our televisions and the improvement is tremendous even using old analog speakers. The unit is relatively compact, it was easy to set up, and it is easy to use.

    Anytime you buy a Sony sound product you can count it on being high quality, Purchased this receiver to use on my 5.1 surround tv system and it's been working really well, has customizing option to adjust per speaker which is really nice.

    Works great. Does the job. The price was a bit hight but I guess they have to make their money. I do feel like the size is a bit big and is hard to fit with all the other smaller components. I don't know how it works to much since there is so much to read in the instructions.

    It seems like receivers are a dying art. I recall when a Sony receiver meant something. You where proud to own it. This unit lack the deeper range of sound, likely because it is relying on a self powered subwoofer to provide that. i have good speakers, which on my old somy receiver with failing audio channels had great bass. The over all audio quality is actually acceptable, in the tweeter and mid ranges. It sounds good enough with tv and music, it just does not hit well on any of the bass qualities. There is no bottom out, little distortion as you go up the audio range. In general it sounds really quite alright. I am pondering just fixing my old receiver also a Sony and reusing that for my home theater system,

      Hi Donald, Thank you for the feedback on your experience with your STRDH590. While we're glad you like the overall audio quality of the unit, we regret to know that the bass response did not meet your expectations. You can adjust the bass level from the menu to ensure you're getting the optimal bass quality from your subwoofer. You can also enjoy the higher-fidelity sound from all inputs using the Pure Direct function. When the Pure Direct function is on, the display panel is turned off to suppress noise that affects sound quality. For more details, please refer to this link.

    And another one. I love this. paired with my tv and google. I don't even have to touch my remote. The tv comes on and so does the receiver and the sub. It sounds great. i can even hear birds chirping in a movie like they were outside. Great sound

    It’s a nice little receiver. I’d stick with smaller speakers next time as it doesn’t have enough power for my big front speakers. A side from being a little under powered in the front stage, it’s a great receiver.

    excellent unit for the price, very good audio quality. the open box purchase was a very good deal, but the inspection of the unit failed to disclose 2 used and extremely dented and damaged batteries inside the box, not a huge issue but they should have seen this and replaced them with another set. I am very happy with the purchase.

    I used to have a pioneer receiver and it flaked out on me then recently purchased this Sony receiver and I have to say that it sounds much better than the pioneer. Handles my Sony subwoofer so much better. Best receiver out there for the price, can't go wrong with this one.
