Open Box Excellent but doesn’t work
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this unit for a new office I’m building. Installed 3 days past the return date to find out the sub output doesn’t work. I’m an Elite Customer and they want me to ‘ale an appointment and drive a hour to the closets Best Buy to send it out for service. Unit should have been tested before shipping. Not happy!

||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the second time I have bought this receiver as an open box item, both times Bestbuy has stated it is in excellent condition with nothing missing.

Great sounding Amp - easy to setup
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Plenty of power, great sound, and was very easy to setup. Auto calibration works great to sort out how far your speakers are from you to optimize sound. The 4K hdmi pass throughs work great to just run 1 cable to your tv and everything else through the receiver and still get a great picture. Love the standby bluetooth feature! - This lets you turn on the receiver from your phone and start playing music without having to grab the remote or walk up to it to turn on. Simple thing, but we use that feature all the time.

Bad Investment
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This system is not worth the price. The system hops from one input to another when first turned on, DVD, Media Box, Sat Rec, ect. I saw others had the same issue. Wish I had gone with Yamaha instead.

Defective
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Received in good physical condition. Attached my existing Yamaha speakers from a previous Yamaha receiver and was not able to get it to work. I checked out each speaker with an old FM stereo receiver. All speakers checked out OK. I noted that SPK ON/OFF switch on the Sony Receiver read: NOUSE. At this point I decided the receiver was defective and plan on shipping it back.

Posted .Hi earphones,
We do apologize for the inconvenience. We recommend connecting wired speakers with a nominal impedance of 6 ohms to 16 ohms. 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 Audio/Video (A/V) receiver.

Dropped video
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It constantly loses video. I have to remove the HDMI cable from the back that goes to the TV, wiggle it, and hope it restores the signal. At least once a day, but sometimes several times an hour. The audio quality is good, and the video when it works is clear, but there's no excuse for it to constantly drop signal like that, especially from a brand name like Sony.

Posted .Hi JHibberd, We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues with the STRDH590 Home Theater Receiver. We'd love to troubleshoot the issue and make this a better experienced for you. In the meantime,
Try pressing the input button on the remote control or turning INPUT SELECTOR on the receiver to select the input to which you want to watch.
Set your TV to the appropriate input mode.
Make sure that cables are correctly and securely connected to devices.
Disconnect the HDMI cable from the receiver and TV, and then reconnect the cable.
Set “SIG. FMT.” of the selected input to “STANDARD” in the “” menu.
Some playback devices need to be set up. Refer to the operating instructions supplied with each device.
Be sure to use a High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet when you view images or listen to sound, especially for 1080p, Deep Color (Deep Colour), 4K or 3D transmission. Premium High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet, which can support bandwidths up to 18 Gbps, is required for 4K/60p 4:4:4, 4:2:2 and 4K/60p 4:2:0 10 bit, etc.
If you want to play HDCP 2.2 content, connect the receiver to an HDMI input jack of a TV that is compatible with HDCP 2.2.
You may also try using a different HDMI cable to connect your STRDH590 to your TV.

Outstanding A/V receiver
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This received is excellent in every respect. The visual design is clean, controls are simple, and the remote is logically laid out. HDMI video signals are passed through with no indication that they are not running directly from the source. The sound is clear and precise, with plenty of power in each channel, even for large spaces. I've always been a fan of Sony receivers for their value and longevity, and this received continues in that tradition. An excellent product at an outstanding price.
I would recommend this to a friendThe receiver is ok, the volume is not that great.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The output in strength is not that great and i have bose 301 speakers. It ok to connect to my tv but it's still weak.
