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.

Good product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this for my husband since he’s a technical guru when it comes to sound systems and wiring. He used this receiver to connect all his devices in his man cave. He had higher expectations but did give it an average rating.

"Good quality"
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony has improved upon its quality value ratio with this integrated unit, sounding more like a separate pre-amplifier, and a separate amplifier set-up.

Entry level surround system
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this to replace an older receiver. Loud enough for most purposes. Just be warned the 4k HDR pass through limits your signal to 24 fps, which stinks for gaming.

Sony receiver
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Beautiful sound, but absolutely gutless. Overloads at level 50 out of 73. I would take it out and blast it with a shotgun, but I paid too much money for it. Hoping Best Buy will let me exchange it for something better.

Posted .Hi DisssatisfiewSonyreceiver,
We're sorry to hear what happen. We also recommend using speaker wires that are anywhere between 12 to 16 gauge. These are most commonly used for connecting speakers to an amplifier or an AV receiver.

Not great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This receiver has an on screen display that won’t go away on its own every time you turn it on. It won’t turn off with my Xfinity remote and requires me to have 2 remotes. Does everything else well, nothing exciting.

Good Receiver for the Money
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's good receiver for the money - that is, it does not have the most powerful amplifier that you may need if, for example, you're going to listen the cannon fire during the "1812 Overture" or the like. It may clip. On the other hand, it performs very well and is, I think, a good product for the amount of money it costs.
