    Apart from Dolby Atmos, everything I needed and wanted in a new receiver the STR-DH590 has, including Bluetooth. The receiver is a replacement for my previous Sony STR-DH540 A/V Receiver which I replaced simply because it was unable to pass HDR and HDCP 2.2.2 encoded 4K Blu-ray and Streaming HDR contend. Like the my previous Sony receiver, the sounds is very clean and powerful with excellent Dynamic Range, and because I have two Subs, the 5.2 Channel is great to have. For the the features, the price paid made it an excellent value for me.

    I wasnt planning on getting a new AV receiver for a while but i could not pass on the sale price and I have 30 yr old Sony equipment so I expected alot. As usual, they did not let me down. The set up was simple, the sound is amazing, and the connection to my TV/wireless devices is seamless.

    Highly recommend this home theater receiver! Awesome sound, and the best answer to Blu-Ray players that don't have traditional RCA or composite outputs for sound. Everything goes in to unit with HDMI cables, and one HDMI cable out to your HD TV. (So plan on maybe needing one extra cable). The remote controls everything, so for instance if you're watching SAT TV, and you want to switch to Blu-Ray, one button press switches you over. Get the Sony SA-C59 subwoofer with it, and you will love the sound quality!

    I am not an audiophile, but I do like good sound when I listen to radio, TV or internet podcasts. This Sony receiver is really quite nice and I like the on-screen setup that it has. I also like the quick connection to my Amazon Echo when I want to listen to internet radio or a podcast. Very nice sound. A wide range of external inputs and a 4K passthru are also very nice. The remote is nicely organized and easy to use. Various sound modifications make it easy to adjust the sound to the acoustics of the room, or to your own preference. I'm really very happy and can recommend this receiver highly.

    Before I bought this receiver, I was using a Pioneer VSX-D509S receiver I'd purchased around 2001, so I was waaaaay behind the times with receiver tech. I'm not sure I ever had that thing set up correctly. With this new Sony receiver, I hardly even opened the manual, and everything seemed to work right away. The speaker calibration was automatic. If I turn on my Xbox, the receiver and TV turn on automatically! I haven't run it through the ringer sound wise, but at a glance, the sound is great, and probably better than with my old Pioneer. I'm super happy with it, and wish I would have upgraded years ago.

    We replaced an older upscale 7.1 Onkyo with this 5.1. It has very good sound and powers a nice speaker system. It operates with a newer LG C2 well. It took just a little time to get things functioning. I like it and recommend it.

    A quality Sony receiver

    I bought an expensive new HT cabinet and found that it wasn't deep enough to accommodate my Marantz NR1506 receiver. I searched around for an A/V receiver that wasn't as deep and found, among a few others, this Sony STR-DH590. While not quite as feature-rich as the Marantz it has proven a good substitute for it in my 5.1 system. One minor drawback is that Sony's speaker calibration is not as accurate as the Audyssey system on the Marantz. It reported several of the speakers as being much farther away than the actually are. It also only measures from one seating position, unlike the Marantz. There was also some quirkiness with ARC from my LG OLED55B7P so I decided to just use TOSLINK from the TV to the Sony. ARC implementations seem to be poorly implemented on many devices so the issue might be with the TV and not the receiver. I also wish it had a couple more HDMI ports but it hasn't been an issue for me so far. I have the HDTV, LG Blu-ray, TiVo, and Roku all connected and don't anticipate adding anything else. There is no Ethernet or wireless connectivity and therefore no way to do a firmware update if necessary. However, this is to be expected for the price. If you need a compact a/v receiver, I'd recommend considering the Sony.

    Highly recommended. ships incredibly fast with the best tracking features I have seen. Product arrived in excellent condition and the instructions are easy to follow setup is a breeze and the sound is fantastic. If you are looking for a decent 5.2 AV Receiver look no further. Sony is a name that has a reputation for quality equipment at a economical price point and this unit is no exception. I get no compensation I just want to pass on my experience because shopping for electronics can be iffy.

    This receiver/amplifier performs flawlessly in my set up. I’m running a cable box, X-box, Apple-TV, and Blue Ray player into it and the set up was as simple as plug and play. It powers five Pioneer shelf and middle-front speakers and an old sub-woofer with power to spare in a large living room. Set up went exactly as described in instructions and adding the additional rear speakers was no problem. This appears to be a quality Sony product at a very reasonable price.

    This was my first purchase ever of a home audio receiver and after reviewing several products I found this product includes many features others didn't and for less money. I'm able to connect my surround sound speakers, a passive and active sub woofer, my playstation, and more. I especially like the assignable audio in fiber port to connect my roku TV audio out so I can route audio from roku apps like prime tv, vudu and many others. Without that feature I'd have to use the TV's built in speakers and that's defeating the purpose of a surround sound system. Very very pleased

    This is an excellent piece of equipment for the price. I wasn't interested in all the bells and whistles that it doesn't have anyway, so I didn't have to pay for what I don't use. The mic set up feature for the speakers is automated, once you engage it. It's got 90w rms/channel, 5 channels driven, which is more than ample for most people's needs and it sounds great. One quirk: it doesn't always play nice with my big screen but it's nothing that can't be handled.
