Customer Ratings & Reviews

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 was super happy when this delivered and it delivered early the guy that helped was super awesome he helped me under stand the difference with watts and he got me a good deal. The product on the other hand is even better the quality of it is nice it does not feel cheap at all the knobs are smooth it is pretty good at cooling its self down super easy to set up the sound quality from this receiver is excellent.

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.

Excellent entry level 5.2 Ch receiver! Plenty of power and clean sound if all you need is basic 5.1 or even just 2.1 with virtual surround capability. Also lots of ways to customize the sound field for movies or music. A great value!

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.

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.

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.

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.

works very well and will link up with your ps4 to power down surround sound is great price is affordable and its Bluetooth works well

Great receiver at a great price. Replaced a 7.1 Yamaha that was about 12 years old. I was worried about the musicality of the sound and this unit does not disappoint. Easy to set up, HDMI ARC works well and the Bluetooth feature is solid.

Great receiver! I finally replaced my old receiver with this one and I'm glad I did. Attractive design, easy to use features, and great sound. Plus the bluetooth connectivity works perfectly and is easy to use.

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

Where else can you find a stereo receiver with a phono input that is affordable? Have zero issues with the sound of this unit. Use it in a home office and it performs quite well. Nice features, bluetooth works great, like that it has bass/treble control from the remote

Upgrade from the one I bought in 2009 for 4k features. No wifi seems odd but the sound quality is much better.

Easy connection instructions. Easy setup. I followed the instructions and turned on the power and TV. From there I follwed the instructions shown on TV and was able set up the five speakers plus subwoofer instantly! Then played around with remote to find sound setting that I wanted. This set-up allows me to use my Cable remote without even having to program the cable remote. A step I've always had to do with previous receivers. Puts out more than enough sound. And for my hard of hearing ears, that's plenty!

I was in the market for a new receiver that would pass HDR after I upgraded to a Samsung 65q80t television. My local store was out of the similar Onkyo one so I chose this particular model. So far I'm very happy. Setup was very simple and fast. Sound is good and I like the fast input switching. Everything pairs with my DirecTv remote. I paid 279 and it immediately dropped to 199 less than a week later. Best Buy is supposed to be price adjusting. They were very easy to work with.

Hesitated buying this system after listening to store sales rep. Went to another store to look at there in stock products. Decided to take a chance on this unit. Great system all around. Ease to set up. Had trouble understang what was said on my old system. Sound is so much more clearer I have no problem with hearing whats said. If you dont need a powerhouse wattage to fill a theatre but just your living room. Great unit

This thing puts out good amounts of power (I'm running it in only a 3.1 configuration, so it has spare capacity), and runs cool, which I really like. The Onkyo TX-SR607 it replaced ran so hot -- all the time -- that I actually kept a laptop cooler fan on top of it because I was worried it was going to die if I didn't. The Bluetooth pairing is hassle-free, as is the auto-calibration. This thing looks good and is easy to use (much more intuitive than my Onkyo was).

I've used this device for a few weeks now and it works exactly like I hoped it would. The setup was quite easy and with the different audio output settings it will definitely give you what you want. I'm currently using this to power two front speakers and the front surround is very good. I was going to try to use a center and two fronts but it wasn't really able to run those effectively without surround speakers so the audio level was too low. That's really the only con I've come up with so far.
