Good receiver for the money
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for a receiver that has 4k passthrough and ARC to replace a nice working older receiver. Honestly this receiver was not as nice as the old receiver but the picture quality very good and having the ARC HDMI makes the smart TV easy to set up. I'm not using surround sound so I cannot comment on how it handles that. It does do a good job with virtual surround and processing front sound. The size is also nice, it's about 3 inches shorter than the last receiver which makes it fit much better in the media center. The one gripe if have with this (and hopefully it will be fixed in a firmware update) is that when you turn on automatic input switching through the HDMI it works very well, but for some reason when it switches back to HDMI input from ARC it pops the input selection screen up. You then have to get the remote and close the menu, which kind of defeats the purpose of not having to use the remote to switch inputs. Overall I would recommend this receiver as a nicely priced option for basic setups.

It’s great other than it’s serious heating problem
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall this is a solid amplifier and is very easy and convenient to use. If I’m listening to music at a pretty tame volume it is perfect. – The problem occurs when I want to listen to music at a level that makes my 2 bookshelf speakers little 5.25” subs bump. This thing heats up like a mad dog when you give it some power into nothing but 2 little bookshelf speakers. I can imagine if you have a full speaker setup and you don’t listen to music quietly this thing will fry. I think if I were to open it and put in some PC fans it might make a big difference. Good product overall but if you want to listen to music loudly I would look elsewhere. The heat problem is a deal breaker.

Good amp for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this for everyday TV watching. Paired it with some new Sony speakers. Sounds great. It is however a 5.1 capable system that I did not intent to use it for. The HDMI needs to be set up through this AMP for 5.1 sound. I used two speakers, and a digital optical cable to get a 2.0 system

Posted .Hi Lamd, we're glad you like the sound quality of our product. We appreciate your feedback regarding the bass of your SONY unit. By using a subwoofer, it produces LFE (low frequency effect) channel sounds and reinforces bass parts of other channels. The STR-DH590 supports all the latest HDR formats(HDR10, HLG, and Dolby Vision). We hope you also utilize these video formats to give you remarkable video quality. The combination of superior video quality and great sound will improve your home theater experience. Also, be sure to check out the Bluetooth feature.

Great value and sound quality.

The only issue I had was adjusting the video settings on my vizio 1080p hdtv but all went well. The sound quality is good for the money and the size of the room it is setup in. This is a great but for the money.

Worth it.
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this primairly for the Audio recieving part to create my surround system. But my Smart TV was also limitied on HDMI spots, which left my Switch in the cold when i had to connect this for set up. Luckily this comes with 3 4k capable video inputs, so my Nintendo Switch just runs directly through this when i want to play it on the TV. I also love that it comes with a calibration mic that automatically adjusts each individual speaker to your unique room set up vs having to spend hours doing it myself (which i was expecting to do) Its compatible with my speakers including my bluetooth subwoofer, so i cant complain.

Very nice Home Theater Receiver for price!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed a 4K/UHD receiver to upgrade to a 5.1 Home Theater System. After considering what my budget could allow (after purchasing the 4K/UHD TV and 4K/UHD Blu-ray player, I looked into the possible choices and this model was the one I chose. I had no problems in changing out the old receiver and putting this one into service. The input/output connections were easy to get to and use, and the pre-set FM stations work great. The only thing I have not tried yet is the included mic which will sense the output of all your speakers and automatically adjust the sound from the speakers to get the best Home Theater sound from. I haven't done this yet because I still needed to add the subwoofer (just bought yesterday) and the center speaker (buying later this week). Everything else has been easy to use and worked right out of the box.

Great product for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A real nice receiver with easy setup. Remote is nice and functional. Sounds great.. not sure if its just me but center channel needs to be a little better, but higher volumes negate any weak audio on that channel at low volumes. But a great buy nevertheless
