    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.

    Sony Receiver Review

    This Sony receiver is perfect for how I’m using it. I have several other Sony receivers but I wanted something a little smaller for my bedroom. I have front speakers, surround speakers, a center channel and a subwoofer attached. Everything sound great. I especially like the Bluetooth feature. I can listen to media on my iPhone. I would definitely recommend this receiver for anyone in a small space wanting a lot of sound.

    I bought this unit on sale to replace a dying Pioneer unit I've had for 10 years. Unfortunately I didn't nice this was a 5 channel unit and I really needed 7 channels. Just drawing your attention to this in case it matters for you too. My setup is a hodgepodge of old and new players and accessories, so I suffered another small hiccup because this unit ONLY has HDMI inputs. I needed several RCA inputs for my older hardware so I was forced to buy some adapters to get everything operational. The unit has good power, doesn't get overly hot in our entertainment cabinet, and setup/configuration via the unit's wizards was slick. Great unit for the price!

    I love this receiver! Great sound on my speakers (6-inch Somance pair), wattage to spare, multiple HDMI inputs + ARC for sending sound back from the TV, if desired (with an ARC-enabled TV). While I would love to see a Wi-Fi connection option, that would be an entirely different device - Bluetooth is adequate for a quick play from my phone and I plug it into my laptop or tablet for high def audio. I am looking forward to using the automatic tuning feature with the included microphone.

    GREAT Entry Level Receiver

    I should start by saying that this is NOT meant for people who have difficult-to-drive speakers. If you have reasonably efficient speakers, however, this is for you. Sound is clean, set-up is simple, and it worked right out of the box. Now, for the most important thing in my opinion: It just WORKS. I plugged in a Chromecast for my streaming. I can cast to Spotify, and the receiver turns on, sets the input to the Chromecast, and starts playing. When I switch to the TV, the receiver automatically switches inputs (I have it set to optical input). There is no hassle, and my wife is able to operate as well.

    This is a very good stereo receiver that is doing appropriate job for my 5 speaker system. I bought this to replace an old Onyko system that would no longer allow audio pass through. We were actually surprised that the sound from this system was better than the old system. It does come with a device to allow you to adjust the speaker volume from about 20 feet away.

    I got the Sony - 725W 5.2-Ch. Hi-Res 4K Ultra HD A/V Home Theater Receiver - Black to run my Polk T series 5.0 setup and man what a great combo! Setup was pretty straight forward and learning to get the best sound out of this receiver was pretty easy with a little research. The sound quality is the best I've ever had ring through my ears in a home setup. It even supports Dolby Atmos that we run through our PC which takes the surround experience to a whole new level! We were going to get a powered sub, but the sound is good enough we don't feel we even need to. If you're looking for an entry level receiver, this is the one you should get!

    4.5 overall rating. Sounds great with a 5.1 system. Easy to sue and set up. Love watching action movies using it. Voices can be a little hard to hear sometimes on the center speaker but I'm assuming there's an adjustment somewhere we can make to fix this.

      Hi BrianB,

      We're happy that you like the ease of setup and amazing sound quality of this receiver. We're sorry to learn that voices are sometimes are hard to hear on the center speaker. You can adjust the size of each speaker (front, center and surround). If the sound is distorted or you hear a lack of surround effects when using multi channel surround sound, try to set center channel to [Small]. For more about "Adjusting the speaker size [Size]", refer to this link.

      https://helpguide.sony.net/ha/strdh59/v1/en/contents/TP0001553356.html

      You can also adjust the level of each speaker (front left/right, center, subwoofer and surround left/right). If you're not getting sound from your center speaker, try switching the Sound field to MULTI ST.

      If you need more information or technical assistance with your product, please feel free to contact us and we'll be more than happy to assist you. You may send us an email at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following:

    If you are looking between this and the comparable Denon, this is the one you want if you like it loud. If you want to listen to golf matches, get the Denon which has -slightly-, and I mean a fraction more clarity, but at a large reduction of the power per channel. Really a great start for My First Receiver, but I recommend spending a couple hundred more and getting the 7.2 with Atmos. If you are concerned with the reported Sony STR-DH590 auto-turn on disability, turn off CEC on your television. You are welcome.

    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!
