Great receiver

Best Surround Sound Receiver I have ever had.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I watch a Star Trek episode every night. The surround sound is excellent! So clear, The remote for the TV also turns off the receiver. I use PolkAudio surround speakers including subwoofer. The black face of the receiver does not distract from the display.

Does its job
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this to fix this monster with Harman kardon 5.1 channels speakers. it went well and was easy to fit speakers with this receiver. the receiver produces better sound if not best. but according to my living room size in apartment, this goes well to produce enough bass and sound. I liked this.

Great Economical Receiver! Sounds great!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Sony STRDH590 5.2-ch. receiver replaces the 7.2ch Sony we had for 5 years. It lost the sub woofer output so I replaced it with this one. It responds to whatever type audio the input sees. The only challenge was plugging it into our TV to set up the receiver with the onscreen menu. The TV doesn't have enough HDMI inputs to leave it plugged in. I wish it had all controls on the front like the 7.2 version. Oh well, progress I suppose...

Excellent entry level Home Theater Receiver
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this to replace a Denon Home Theater that quit audio output. Had this one hooked up in place of the other unit within 10 minutes. Went through the easy setup process and was back in business. Whole setup was 20 minutes. Sound quality is good and the subwoofer settings worked great. Very pleased.

Its ok...
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to setup. Functions as you would expect and talks to my Sony TV. I only wish it had an equalizer function. The preset for the speakers need to be tweaked for the voice mode.

Trust in Sony
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The house we bought had surround sound already wired in, but no receiver. We knew very little about what makes a good receiver, but we've always trusted the Sony brand. We weren't let down. This works just as we hoped it would and the sound is great!

Great!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This receiver is great for my purposes (Mancave) and puts out great sound. If you want it to transmit to Bluetooth headphones or want more options for an antenna connection you will have to look to another model. Otherwise, Great receiver!

Excellent Value, Decent Features for the Money
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's pretty great! If you need a good receiver and you're not a hardcore audiophile, this is the receiver for you. It supports ARC, but lacks sophisticated on board EQ. It does have some nifty presets though and supports a wide range of sampling and bit rates. Although likely compressed, I did manage to see it handling 24 bit 192KHz. It's used with a pair of PL-908s in front, a pair of old Sonys for the rear and a PL-200 II sub with a PL-28 II center. Make sure you're using high speed, good quality HDMI cables marked "High Speed" though for best results. Think Monster cables and aim a bit lower and you're golden. I managed to cram 12 gauge wire all around in this thing, but that's overkill. I'd go a bit higher in gauge and you'll have an easier time. That's still overkill, but makes wiring it a great deal easier. I do wish I had banana plugs all around though and not just the front left and right.

Ok, but expected more
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It seems like receivers are a dying art. I recall when a Sony receiver meant something. You where proud to own it. This unit lack the deeper range of sound, likely because it is relying on a self powered subwoofer to provide that. i have good speakers, which on my old somy receiver with failing audio channels had great bass. The over all audio quality is actually acceptable, in the tweeter and mid ranges. It sounds good enough with tv and music, it just does not hit well on any of the bass qualities. There is no bottom out, little distortion as you go up the audio range. In general it sounds really quite alright. I am pondering just fixing my old receiver also a Sony and reusing that for my home theater system,
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi Donald, Thank you for the feedback on your experience with your STRDH590. While we're glad you like the overall audio quality of the unit, we regret to know that the bass response did not meet your expectations. You can adjust the bass level from the menu to ensure you're getting the optimal bass quality from your subwoofer. You can also enjoy the higher-fidelity sound from all inputs using the Pure Direct function. When the Pure Direct function is on, the display panel is turned off to suppress noise that affects sound quality. For more details, please refer to this link.
