    I bought this to replace by ONKIO TX-NR609 where there is a widely know HDMI sound issue. I pair this with BOSE Acoustimass 10 Series IV. It sound perfectly and power of Sony 725W is definitely enough to drive these speakers. My family room is fairly large enough in a single family home. I also like the low profile of this unit. Glad that I make the good choice after months of research.

    This receiver works great in our living room. We have back in wall speakers but still need to purchase a center channel and some bookshelf speakers to finish the setup.

      Hi Benna919,

      That's great! We're glad that you like the superb features and it tailors outstanding sound quality in your living room. Here are also some recommended Sony speakers that can be paired with the STR-DH590:

      • Sony SSCS3 3-Way Floor-Standing Speaker - These speakers have a powerful bass response and clear, detailed highs that make them ideal for use as front speakers in a home theater setup.
      • Sony SSCS5 3-Way Bookshelf Speaker - These compact speakers deliver big sound for their size, making them a great choice for use as rear speakers in a surround sound system.
      • Sony SSCS8 2-way 3-driver Center Channel Speaker - This speaker delivers an unprecedented and real audio experience, with a soundstage so expansive you can feel the energy and passion of the original performance.
      • Sony SSCSE Dolby Atmos Enabled Speakers - These speakers are designed to deliver immersive, three-dimensional sound, and can be used as height speakers in a Dolby Atmos setup.

      Thanks for leaving us such a great review of your STRDH590. Thanks for choosing Sony!

    i brought this to replace my old receiver and was surprised by the sound quality...just great sound! i have a 5.1 system and if you are a novice you have a mic system you can set and use to balance the sound of each speaker.a pro like me the sony has an easy manual setup where you can balance each speaker and control the volume.one downside is no dolby atmos but not needed if you have a 5.1 system the dolby digital is fine.if you use a soundbar or 2 speaker setup it even has a front surround setting.

    This is a decent, basic HT receiver that does it's job. My biggest issue is it constantly "pops" when switching channels or inputs. Sound is fine for basic movie watching. 4k pass through doesn't seem to negatively affect the image.

      Hi TophTurner, Great! We're very happy you like the solid built quality of the unit. With regards to placement of the receiver, please make sure to place the receiver in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat buildup and prolong the life of the receiver.

      To ensure you're getting the best Bluetooth connection, please follow the guidelines and steps below:

      -The receiver and the BLUETOOTH device
      are too far apart.

      -If there are obstructions between the
      receiver and your BLUETOOTH device,
      remove these or move the receiver
      and/or device avoid them.

      -Erase the pairing registration information
      of the BLUETOOTH device on the
      BLUETOOTH device and perform the
      pairing operation again.

      Hope this helps!

    I bought this receiver to use with my Sony Google television in a small home theater setup. It works perfectly with minimal configuration. One remote operation. It turns on and off automatically with the tv and volume is controlled by the tv remote. This was an open box item in excellent condition. Very satisfied.

    I love this A/V Home Theater Receiver. We had a quote from someone after building the new house. Wiring was pre-speaker and I was concerned about doing it myself. But this was simple and sounds great. The quote included a Yamaha. But we love Sony and I compared the two models and chose this one instead. Everything we have except for the Jammo 8' woofer is Sony, and it didn't disappoint.
