- Cons mentioned:Bass
Not efficient
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Why have a system that requires a separately powered subwoofer? This device is expensive enough and powerful enough to directly power a subwoofer. Why must I buy a whole, separately powered subwoofer. I can see offering it as an option, but I should also have the option of simply running a subwoofer directly from this receiver. As a result of this gripe, I returned it and bought a conventional home theater system.

Posted .Hi JamesM! We are really sorry to hear that you had a difficult time setting your Sony STRDH590 Home theater Receiver up, this is not the experience we'd like you to have with our products. We value any feedback, no matter how small is. If you have difficulties getting everything synced, you may try the following steps: Ensure all cables are securely connected between the receiver, TV, and any connected devices (such as DVD players, Blu-ray players, or game consoles). Make sure the firmware on your TV and receiver is up to date. Look up the latest updates for the STR-DH590 and your TV model (if it is a Sony TV) on the Sony support website. Here is the link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support. Try clearing External Inputs Data by Disconnect external inputs, turn off CEC, reconnect devices, and turn CEC back on. This may help to reset the external input data. I hope you find this information helpful and make easier to sync your devices. Best regards. -Ismael
Shortcoming in Best Buy Open Box sales
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The rating is for Best Buy Open Box sales and related policy and not for the Sony unit, which I could never try because I was sent a faulty unit. A few weeks ago this particular unit was on sale for ~$250 (both at Amazon and Best Buy). The open box (excellent condition) was offered at ~$200 at Best Buy. I chose to buy Open Box Excellent, thinking about a small saving while still getting a good unit. I was wrong. I was sent a faulty unit that would auto shutoff in less than 5 sec. When I took it to a local Best Buy for an exchange, I was told that I could only get a refund because they do not exchange Open Box product. By then the price of the unit had increased to $350 (new) or $319 (Open Box excellent). I told them about missing the opportunity to get the unit at a discounted price, if not exchanged. They said we understand and apologize for this situation but there is nothing we can do about it and I was referred to the Customer Service online. I tried to explain this to the customer service, but besides an apology they did not have a solution to rectify their mistake. So, I am at loss of net $150 because someone at Best Buy did not inspect the open box unit. Also, because the Best Buy return/exchange policy for open box products does not account for their own error. Be ware!
