Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great multipurpose receiver. Theater quality sound for movies, nice clean & punchy sound for music. Unit is easy to set up, but there is a small learning curve to use. Many of the receiver's features are not specifically detailed or described in the owners manual; instead they are only available via a document on Sony's website. Beyond that little quirk, its a fantastic unit.

Bought this to upgrade from a very old and outdated Onkyo and I have to say I’ve found the holy grail of receivers. Easy setup, and with a speaker synch microphone, the reciever does all of the settings for you. I did a little tweaking for the sub woofer DBs but nothing I couldn’t easily handle. Was looking at this and a Dennon, and I’m very happy with my choice. Thanks Sony for yet another amazing product.

Great features and capability for the price. Rated output power and its low noise rating seem to be accurate when pushing out content of various sources at very high levels. My only complaint is in regard to accessing and understanding the on-system menu and its hidden sub-levels and categories. I really needed to spend a lot of time figuring out where basic adjustments and system features resided! But other than this issue, no complaints and a strong buy recommendation for a great 4K HD 5.2 Ch system such as this Sony STRDH590 unit!

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.

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!

I've had this hooked up for about a month now, and I'm very satisfied with it. I've really only been using it for TV sound (regular tv and a 4K player), as well as using the Bluetooth to play music on my phone. I'm very happy with the quality and clarity of both. Haven't used the FM tuner yet, I am a little disappointed that there is no AM band...but I rarely listened to that anyway, so it's not a big deal. Menu navigation is a bit confusing, but patience will ultimately pay off.

Works well. Easy set -up. Sounds great. Priced right.

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.

Love being able to control volume from TV and the sound quality is good.

All the basic features, great sound for our room. Took a star for very minor issues - for some reason the streaming device grabs the output at start, and getting the speakers set correctly for the different signal types was a little annoying (the menu could be clearer). Otherwise great for our needs - a couple of gaming consoles, a streaming device, and a couple of separate audio connections. When the device comes on, there is a click loud enough to scare the dog.

We’ve had this item for almost a month now and have absolutely no complaints! Super easy to setup yourself with clear instructions or prior working knowledge and looks great in the new space!

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.

This is basically the exact same model as I had before. That last one lasted me for nearly 15 years without issue.

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.

this is the 2nd Sony I've owned my last one lasted 20 yrs and took a beating,This model is just the newer addition,all the bells and whistles,Bluetooth etc..,I was going to buy the yamaha of a similiar price point my sales geek said the Sony was a better receiver and 100$ off the sticker price ,also connects to my yamaha subwoofer which was a must for the Cave,Sounds Awesome!!Thanks Eric S

Absolutely loving this receiver! Highly recommend it if you are looking for a simple 5 channel for your living room or movie room. I’m using it in my movie room. I have a project hooked up that is older so I had to run a 50 ft hdmi cord and have all my gaming systems in there. So we use the Xbox to play movies as well. Have my 5 corded Bose speakers hooked up. Easy to hook up and set up sound with the mic it has. You can connect your phone (Bluetooth) and play music, it just overall worked really well for me.

Love this receiver. It’s easy to plug in everything with HDMI. Multiple surround settings and a upfront surround option if you don’t have surround sound speakers.

Love this thing. I’ve been using it for a couple years now and the amp is great. Sound is clear at even low volumes. What else? It was a breeze to setup.

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.

I have a 550 in my living room and loved that one. I got a great open box deal on the 590 and its works flawlessly, plenty of power and the built in bluetooth is awesome with Alexa. Highly recommend this and any other sony product, cant beat the quality and performance for the money!
