    My husband and I purchased this because our old one was going out. It was a Sony as well and we had it for 25 plus years, so we decided to stick with the Sony brand. Glad we did. Great sound, easy to set up.

    The set up is easy with the supplied microphone and auto scan to check all speakers and adjust for distance and frequency response. I use the input switching on the TV instead of the one in the receiver. I use fiber optic from the TV to the receiver to transfer the audio. It works great. The receiver does not have a switched AC outlet to connect the sub woofer so I leave the sub woofer on all the time. The time from turning on the receiver to when sound comes out is 8 seconds. This is a little long.

    Great A/V receiver that produces 4K quality sound for my 5.1 surround sound system. This replaced my existing Sony receiver which failed after 15+ years of service. This device was easy to setup and has worked great for me so far. This receiver connects to all devices in my home theater and also works great with my universal remote. If you want a great receiver without having to break the bank, I would recommend this device.

    Replaced a 25 year old ONKYO. Super easy to install. Modern HDMI interfaces are wonderful. Un familiar with ARC HDMI, but very simple to interface to brand new LG 50" I got 3 werks earlier at Best Buy. Setup, programming, and tuning are very user-friendly. Used the manuel a little bit, since unfamiliar with new technology. Love the unit.

    I wanted to replace an old receiver to connect to a modern smart TV and researched most models offered from Best Buy. This device was by far the best value and had all the features I needed. Now I can connect my cell phone via blue tooth, or watch any TV show and play them through my older Bose Acoustimass speakers system. Wow, my teenage boys never heard sound quality so good. Essentially, this Sony receiver gas life to my old system and well worth it.

    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.

      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.

    Bought this receiver to replace an old unit that had gone belly-up and was amazed at the power and sound that this unit produces! Had to turn down the sub because this one cranks out so much more power than the old one. It's Bluetooth enabled, so I can play tunes stored on my smartphone and that's way cool! Score one of these outstanding receivers - you'll love it!!

    Replaced an old Denon AV receiver that was failing. New technology and features are pleasant improvement. Can't tell much difference in the sound from my old receiver but that was really good. Set up was easy and straightforward. Pleased with the unit so far.

    Great receiver but possible compatibility issue

    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.
