GREAT AMPLIFIER
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.excellent unit for the price, very good audio quality. the open box purchase was a very good deal, but the inspection of the unit failed to disclose 2 used and extremely dented and damaged batteries inside the box, not a huge issue but they should have seen this and replaced them with another set. I am very happy with the purchase.

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.

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 receiver
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my first receiver I've ever purchased. I've only used TV speakers or a sound bar before. I was overwhelmed at first but after thoroughly reading the directions I have fine tuned my settings and my speakers sounds great.

A Fine Receiver
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I decided to upgrade my home theater receiver after buying a new UHD TV. I waited till a Black Friday sale and bought this one. It greatly improved my tv experience and I love the additional features. I love the Bluetooth feature so I can listen to music using all of the speakers in the basement.

A Great Step Up!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Going from a 2.1 system to a 5.2 system makes a huge difference. We run our audio and video through this receiver into our televisions and the improvement is tremendous even using old analog speakers. The unit is relatively compact, it was easy to set up, and it is easy to use.

Receiver in the house
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great. Does the job. The price was a bit hight but I guess they have to make their money. I do feel like the size is a bit big and is hard to fit with all the other smaller components. I don't know how it works to much since there is so much to read in the instructions.

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,

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.

Livingroom
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s a nice little receiver. I’d stick with smaller speakers next time as it doesn’t have enough power for my big front speakers. A side from being a little under powered in the front stage, it’s a great receiver.
