Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this to upgrade from a very old and outdated Onkyo and I have to say I’ve found the holy grail of receivers. Easy setup, and with a speaker synch microphone, the reciever does all of the settings for you. I did a little tweaking for the sub woofer DBs but nothing I couldn’t easily handle. Was looking at this and a Dennon, and I’m very happy with my choice. Thanks Sony for yet another amazing product.

I've had this hooked up for about a month now, and I'm very satisfied with it. I've really only been using it for TV sound (regular tv and a 4K player), as well as using the Bluetooth to play music on my phone. I'm very happy with the quality and clarity of both. Haven't used the FM tuner yet, I am a little disappointed that there is no AM band...but I rarely listened to that anyway, so it's not a big deal. Menu navigation is a bit confusing, but patience will ultimately pay off.

Replaced an old Denon AV receiver that was failing. New technology and features are pleasant improvement. Can't tell much difference in the sound from my old receiver but that was really good. Set up was easy and straightforward. Pleased with the unit so far.

Great multipurpose receiver. Theater quality sound for movies, nice clean & punchy sound for music. Unit is easy to set up, but there is a small learning curve to use. Many of the receiver's features are not specifically detailed or described in the owners manual; instead they are only available via a document on Sony's website. Beyond that little quirk, its a fantastic unit.

Connection to e-arc hdmi makes it easy to control. Sound quality and intensity is awesome. The price is great only downside is if you crank the volume to max it will overheat after about 35-40 minutes of playtime and auto-off so it don’t melt its own face since it should have already melted yours.

This worked perfectly for what I wanted. I replaced a very old receiver cause I wanted bluetooth capabilities. I was going to buy a bluetooth speaker but then I thought it would be way better to buy this receiver and run my bt through my giant speakers instead of a way lesser bt speaker. Turned out to be an awesome idea! It works great and not overly expensive.

I've had an older Sony unit that I bought in the '90s, which still works perfectly, btw, and sounds great. But... no bluetooth, and no HDMI. So I replaced it with this newer Sony and couldn't be happier... Sounds great, interfaces with my LG TV, and turns on automatically when I connect my iPhone via bluetooth.

Sound quality is adequate Bought to replace an Onkyo receiver that was 22 years old. The onkyo was louder had more options than the Sony However it was also a more expensive option even 22 years ago So ultimately it was like comparing apples to oranges. The onkyo had the option to play all channels stereo so when listening to music via streaming or you tube it was quite a bit louder and still clear with Polk Audio speakers This receiver is easily 10-15 decibels lower. It does reproduce sounds accurately. Just not to the degree the more expensive Onkyo achieved. That being said I would recommend on its value.

Purchased as an open box. The receiver was practically brand new other than a scratch on the front. The setup was straight forward and I liked how Sony included a calibration microphone making the setup such a convenience. The home theater is back to life with this receiver.

I have been very happy overall with the SONY STR-DH590 receiver and it's great features. However, there has been one unresolved issue: I purchased this model, understanding it to be fully compatible with my new SONY OLED XBR-48A9S TV. However, I have been unable to receive sound via the TV's HDMI (eARC/ARC) port. Multiple phone and chat sessions with SONY support techs didl not resolve. Receiver interacts in all ways except for the sound output. I suspect the issue is with the TV and not with the receiver, but because SONY was never able to determine and since they have not followed up with me, I am not able to give a 5 star rating. The good news is I am able to receive multi-channel sound from all my TV input sources via the digital optical connection. This does require manually switching between tv & audio system speakers.

I love it! Easy set up! Initially had a problem with watching tv on antenna but chatting with support solved it. Have old wii, dvd, cd and smart tv attached. Sound is great for us with our 5 channel setup. Automatically turns on when tv comes on. Automatically switches sound to whatever we’re watching or listening to. No complaints! Would recommend.

So Far so Good! Great sound and love the Bluetooth.

Ordered this product, arrived very quickly. Easy set up and it sounds Great, it replaced an old amplifier that I had set up in my ManCave for my TV and music system.

Wow! Sony home theater system is phenomenal! Crystal clear sound, deep bass, and immersive surround sound. Easy setup, sleek design. Worth every penny! 5 stars isn't enough!

Sony makes an excellent surround sound receiver, and this is a prime example!. Movies come to life with prudent placement of the speakers (I have Polk Audio, also purchased from Best Buy years ago). I use the Bluetooth to really get thhe most out of my Amazon Music playlists, the sound is amazing!

I had a very old Sony Receiver and when we got a new TV/Internet provider the equipment was also very new and updated and we were not able to use our receiver without going backwards on the TV receiver, so we ran to Best Buy and bought a new Sony receiver. We bought the one with bluetooth so I could play my music that I've downloaded on my phone. It is awesome. This one is much easier to operate also.

It’s really good value for money! Easy to adjust. Looks pretty good! But I’d prefer receiver 7.2…

Connected it to the television and it immediately connected to it. Channels are loud and clear. Great value for the money. Fully 725 watts,

The set up information could have been more informative and clearer. I am using it for occasional audio for my tv; the receiver is connected to stereo speakers. It's 'surround sound for 2 speakers' setting works well and has a dimensional quality. The receiver's bluetooth for playing content from my tablet through the speakers works well too.

I’m not a real knowledgeable person around these things. But I will say that I needed a modern tech stereo to play music and go with some new speakers I purchased. The price and watts per channel blue tooth and brand all seemed right for the speakers and I’ve loved this stereo in the short time I’ve had it. Sound is good operation simple no complaints at all.
