Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought as open-box special to replace old AV receiver which had died. This unit is working perfectly and is easy to set up. It is handling a cable box and X-Box gaming system with 5.2 sound system including 2 front, 2 rear, 1 center, and 1 non-powered sub-wooofer without any difficulty.

Needed a receiver that would accommodate a streaming device and produce audio using its HDMI port when using a projector. This SONY was easy to set up and once plugged into an HDMI port it instantly provided audio. Previous receiver was very old and would accommodate a streaming device using HDMI and produce video but there was no audio. Had an A/V guy look at it and it would not work.

We hooked it up to our surround outside. It sounds great.

Great audio system for a very reasonable price. I purchased mine about Amin the ago and could not be more please with it. Simply love it so far it does everything it said it would and more. I really like the Bluetooth connection for playing music and it had four HDMI connections so I am able to plug all my devices in it and not worry about my TV only having two HDMIs that force me to unplug devices to use others.

Bought this to replace a 35 year old receiver. Installation was quick and easy. Only hiccup is the unit does not have the 3 RCA jack accommodation for a video game (in this case a Nintendo Wii). I purchased a RCA-to-HDMI adapter and resolved the problem. Im very pleased with the system. It integrated perfectly with my Sony TV. Sound is excellent. The inclusion of the microphone for system calibration is a nice feature.

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.

Added for a simple receiver to get music to different places around our work shop. Has produced good sound and easy to use.

I replaced my AVR of the same brand which i bought in 1999. I love the sony brand as they last long and reliable. I used my existing 12 speakers from the previous AVR and it just works right out of the box. A little fiddling on the surround sound that requires the user to actually know what theyre doing. Otherwise, the default configuration just works. Added 4 more speakers for a total of 16 and the house shook. Just like in the theatres.

good quality. well packaged. moderately priced. easy install.

Solid treble & bass. Nice sound producted for streaming. Owned Onkyo for 5 yrs and Sony blowed me away with this one for good performance with very budget price. Not sure how long it will last but gave me very good first impression already. With the same speakers setup as with my old Onkyo, Sony has fulfilled most of background and ambient sound that I barely heard with my old Onkyo. Thanks BB for a Holiday great discount. I highly recommend this one for all entry-level entrainment setup.

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.

It was very easy to connect all of our components to this receiver. The sound quality is great. There are lots of settings to play with to achieve what you want. Everything was straightforward to figure out. We're very happy with it.

Its a good recever that supports modern hdmi technology as well as sround sound. Has decent power and is a good match with some klipsch reference speakers. It drives speakers consistently regardless of volume which is good! Pretty simple to understand.

Really enjoy the updated sound and ease of use with the 98 Sony TV. Both run via one remote control.

I was looking for a reasonably priced home theater receiver. I'm grateful the team at Best Buy helped me and I'm grateful that my decision landed me on this Sony option. It was easier to set up than I anticipated and more than meets my expectations.

I replaced an old Sony receiver with the Sony STRDH590 and I was VERY surprised at the clarity/crispness of the sound and additional power. I am using the same speakers, but also changed the center channel, and I am thrilled with the decision! Best Buy had the best price all around, so they will remain my #1 choice for electronics and other home stuff!

I bought this to replace a 2-channel stereo receiver that died. A bit overkill for my setup, but if I ever do need surround sound or if my main system's receiver also goes belly-up, this will be a backup. The setup was super easy, the manual and controls clear and easy to understans (unlike my main system's to whose manual I still pull out on a regular basis after over 5 years!). And much to my surprise, it sounds better than the old unit. Probably all in my mind, but...

I just got a new projector and my old Sony (though not terribly old) wasn't able to switch 4K sources, so time to update. I didn't want to spend a lot and this model suited my needs and my budget. The price was right and the features did what I need for theater. It would have been a 5 star, but the sound I can get out of the receiver is less than stellar for music, so for theater it's fine, but it isn't a 'do-everything' receiver. I'm happy that it was in stock and I was wanting to get my home theater going quickly.

Powerful and good quality at a reasonable price point. Sounds great in my small theatre room. At 750 watts this unit rocks the sound.

I purchased this system after reading the reviews online and researching other stores prices. The only thing I can find fault with that I didn't see(or didn't notice) on the reviews is that it requires a powered subwoofer. I spent several days stepping through the automated setup routine trying to figure it out using my passive subwoofer. Once I added a powered subwoofer I was 100% satisfied with my purchase. It ROCKS!! It literally shakes the house! LOL
