Great simple 4K stereo.
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love it! Easy set up! Initially had a problem with watching tv on antenna but chatting with support solved it. Have old wii, dvd, cd and smart tv attached. Sound is great for us with our 5 channel setup. Automatically turns on when tv comes on. Automatically switches sound to whatever we’re watching or listening to. No complaints! Would recommend.

Excellent Condition & Excellent Sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased as an open box. The receiver was practically brand new other than a scratch on the front. The setup was straight forward and I liked how Sony included a calibration microphone making the setup such a convenience. The home theater is back to life with this receiver.

Sony Receiver with bluetooth
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had a very old Sony Receiver and when we got a new TV/Internet provider the equipment was also very new and updated and we were not able to use our receiver without going backwards on the TV receiver, so we ran to Best Buy and bought a new Sony receiver. We bought the one with bluetooth so I could play my music that I've downloaded on my phone. It is awesome. This one is much easier to operate also.

Sony THR500
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony makes an excellent surround sound receiver, and this is a prime example!. Movies come to life with prudent placement of the speakers (I have Polk Audio, also purchased from Best Buy years ago). I use the Bluetooth to really get thhe most out of my Amazon Music playlists, the sound is amazing!

Great receiver but possible compatibility issue
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been very happy overall with the SONY STR-DH590 receiver and it's great features. However, there has been one unresolved issue: I purchased this model, understanding it to be fully compatible with my new SONY OLED XBR-48A9S TV. However, I have been unable to receive sound via the TV's HDMI (eARC/ARC) port. Multiple phone and chat sessions with SONY support techs didl not resolve. Receiver interacts in all ways except for the sound output. I suspect the issue is with the TV and not with the receiver, but because SONY was never able to determine and since they have not followed up with me, I am not able to give a 5 star rating. The good news is I am able to receive multi-channel sound from all my TV input sources via the digital optical connection. This does require manually switching between tv & audio system speakers.

Average receiver
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is adequate Bought to replace an Onkyo receiver that was 22 years old. The onkyo was louder had more options than the Sony However it was also a more expensive option even 22 years ago So ultimately it was like comparing apples to oranges. The onkyo had the option to play all channels stereo so when listening to music via streaming or you tube it was quite a bit louder and still clear with Polk Audio speakers This receiver is easily 10-15 decibels lower. It does reproduce sounds accurately. Just not to the degree the more expensive Onkyo achieved. That being said I would recommend on its value.

Posted .Hi KathyW,
While we're glad that you like most of the features, especially its sound quality, we're sorry to learn if you find the receiver's volume level not as loud enough as you would liked. Your feedback is extremely important to us and is very much appreciated. There is 2-channel sound mode (2ch Stereo) on this receiver. When 2ch Stereo is selected, the receiver outputs the sound from the front left/right speakers only. There is no sound from the subwoofer. Monaural and multi-channel audio signals are output after being converted into a 2-channel signal.
Low volume may also be a result of another component connected to one of the input sources, such as a Set-top Box (STB) or television. To troubleshoot low volume from the connected speakers or device, you may also find this link helpful.

All good here and to hear for the price and power
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m not a real knowledgeable person around these things. But I will say that I needed a modern tech stereo to play music and go with some new speakers I purchased. The price and watts per channel blue tooth and brand all seemed right for the speakers and I’ve loved this stereo in the short time I’ve had it. Sound is good operation simple no complaints at all.

Great Quality
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We purchased this product to upgrade our surround sound system for our theater room. We need one with additional HDMI hookups so we can stream. The sound quality and performance is great. However, one thing I didn't think of... is my existing speakers. It connected to our smaller speakers, but we could not get sound off our subwoofer. It wasn't compatible. We now need to get a new subwoofer.

Awesome Receiver
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very nice 5.2 receiver. very easy to set up and use. the sound quality is awesome and handshakes very nicely with my sony tv. I was looking for something simple and not too complicated like the pioneer i used to have and this is a great option. I had some issues with the video and audio not syncing properly which is mostly fixed by switching the tv to game mode.

Lots of options
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The set up information could have been more informative and clearer. I am using it for occasional audio for my tv; the receiver is connected to stereo speakers. It's 'surround sound for 2 speakers' setting works well and has a dimensional quality. The receiver's bluetooth for playing content from my tablet through the speakers works well too.

A very good stereo receiver.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a very good stereo receiver that is doing appropriate job for my 5 speaker system. I bought this to replace an old Onyko system that would no longer allow audio pass through. We were actually surprised that the sound from this system was better than the old system. It does come with a device to allow you to adjust the speaker volume from about 20 feet away.

Old reciever died
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was needing just something entry level into 4k and scored this as a open box item and saved a good chunk of money. Awesome reciever with no complaints. But just for a heads up youll need a active subwoofer (one with its own power source). Other than that everytbing else was a breeze!

Simple receiver with plenty of features
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hooked this up to our 65" Bravia using sync. Super easy to control both from the same remote. Running two Sony floors speakers, a Sony center channel, and Sony subwoofer through it and it sounds night and day better than our old receiver. Plenty of inputs to meet your needs and built it Bluetooth is very handy. Those looking for AM radio ... Look elsewhere. Not a feature on this model.
