Good Receiver
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My only complaint is that it does not upconvert to 4k.
I would recommend this to a friendDecent for the money
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After turning on you have to select which input you want to listen to instead of it just staying where you left it prior to turning the unit off. It does the trick but it’s a little clunky to use. The price is right.

Not great

Posted .Hi EdfromBronx,
We do apologize for the inconvenience. You can adjust the bass/treble level of the front speakers. Select [Sound Effect] from the home menu. Select [Bass] or [Treble]. Press up/down to adjust the level, and then press middle button.

Works good
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Everything on this amp works fine, and it has a fairly robust amount of settings, but selecting your input everytime you turn it on when it's not in ARC is very very annoying

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think I gave a previous review, however, let's just say I was not pleased with the salesman who assisted me in this sale. I was purchasing a receiver for my grandson for a Christmas present. I am 75 years old and know nothing about such things! The salesman was curt and not helpful at all. His attitude was "this is all we have, just get it and if it's not the right thing, bring it back." Then he told me I could go get a cart to put it in (it was quite heavy). I suggested perhaps it would be nice if HE went to get a cart for me! He made an unhappy face but did go get one.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendCalibration Type stops working after power off/on
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Paired this with Klipsch RP-600M, ran the setup/calibration and sounds great. Unfortunately, the calibration type setting is no longer applied when powered off/on. I have to toggle the setting to get it to work. After googling this issue, turns out the higher end STR-DN1080 also had this issue and it took Sony 2 years to release a firmware that fixed it. I couldn't find any firmware for this, and I doubt Sony will release one. Looks like I'll have to return.

Nice product. Bluetooth is ok
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am only giving 3 stars as the Bluetooth only goes 30 feet without having issues and my unit was outlet discount with no remote. Not a lot of options from Sony or Best Buy with out spending a chunk of money.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.good unit but not what I was looking for in my new media room. my old Denon was far more potent and handled everything I needed it to. was hoping this was an upgrade but didn't work out.

Great Receiver for a great price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We purchased this receiver to replace an old one so we could upgrade to an 4K HD. It was not expensive and is simple to use and works great! Highly recommend it.
I would recommend this to a friend Bare wire only? Really? Get serious
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just learned center channel is bare wire only. That's cheesy. Have pricy interconnects with y-clips that I can't use. Would buy something else if I realized that. Will probably return.

- Pros mentioned:Sound quality
Happy with purchase
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this receiver to replace my old one that broke down. So far it has worked just as well if not better than my old one, and set up was very fast and easy.
I would recommend this to a friend Underwhelming and weak
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros Works seamlessly with my Sony TV. When I power on the TV, the Receiver turns on. Volumes are synced. Price was good. But you get what you pay for. Cons The sound produced is underwhelming. My 2001 DENON receiver finally gave out. This Sony has better specs and is connected to the same Bose Surround Speakers I had before. The sound quality (bass levels, clarity, overall volume) is only 20% as good. The options to customize how the surround sound is set is very limited. I’m left underwhelmed by all the options.

Posted .Hi Trump, thank you for your feedback. We are pleased our STR-DH590, 5.2 multi-channel AV Receiver works seamlessly with your Sony TV. We are sorry if the sound quality of this receiver did not live up to your standards. We are not sure what source are you playing on your STR-DH590, however, you may try following the steps below and see if it resolves the problem:
Sony® Audio/Video (A/V) receivers provide many different surround sound settings and input sources. Due to the way that the audio is electronically divided within the A/V receiver, it is normal for the overall volume to differ from sound field to sound field. Try the different surround sound modes to see which modes increase the volume to the level you would like.
NOTE: Dolby® Digital surround sound usually plays back at a lower overall volume level to allow for a wider dynamic audio range.
Because input sources vary in the quality, type, and strength of the signal being received, it is normal for the overall volume to differ from input source to input source. However, you may wish to check the following:
Verify the connection between your input source and the A/V receiver to make sure they are securely connected.
Try a different input jack to eliminate any issues with the current jack that is being used.
NOTE: If the audio is being sent from a television or set-top box to the A/V receiver, it may be necessary to disable the internal speakers of the input source or set the audio output of the TV to FIXED or VARIABLE. If the audio output of the TV is set to VARIABLE, then you will need to increase the volume level of the TV.
Switch to a different source, such as a CD player, to verify whether the volume is low on all sources or just the one that you are using.
