Pretty good!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works fine. Good sound. A bit difficult to install but figured it out. My old Yamaha had a wider, more dynamic range of sound, and it cost much less (but several years ago). this Sony will be OK after I get used to it.

Works fine for what it is
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The job of amplifying an audio signal is pretty basic electronics-wise, so receivers differentiate themselves on features. The features I wanted: Low price, 5.2 channels, takes 4k hdmi signal, FM radio, bluetooth This receiver met those requirements. I didn't realize that the power button on the receiver would turn on and off the TV via HDMI, which is nice. Sufficient power output to drive my speakers. A nice selection of HDMI inputs, as well. Don't like: The included FM antenna is not great (it is just a single pole wire), and the interface sony has used is non-standard. If I wanted to use a better antenna, I would have to hack something together. It comes with a microphone for some kind of nonsense adjustment I'll never use. I'm sure there are other nonsense equalizer modes that I'll never use also.

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...

Muddy sound
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This replaced my Onkyo receiver, Bought Sony after reading about the board problems.. bad idea!! The sound was way inferior to the Onkyo!! Just bought another Onkyo, (TX-SR 393). The sound is fantastic! Enjoyed listening to music again, The Sony was a terrible choice! AND, I had a real hard time with their so called “ Customer Service “ Both receivers cost about the same,( around $350 and change). Never will purchase a Sony receiver again!! How ever, the Sony tower speakers are pretty darn good!! I just hope I don’t have any issues with the “ board” again!!

This little box puts out simple magic
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This little box puts out simple magic. After returning an entry level Pioneer Elite, I chose to test this unit. I was very impressed! I understood perfectly why this unit has received so many positive reviews in multiple publications. It does the job simply. And for someone who had to make sure that I needed to be in the right DSP for two channel sources vs multichannel sources in my 13-year old Yamaha RX-V663, this unit’s HDCPS decoder takes care of making the most put of the any source that takes in. I liked it so much that I ended up returning it to then buy the STR-DH790 and its expanded setup options. Hopefully, Best Buy will soon list the DH790 in inventory so I enjoy this simple but magical Sony AV system.

DH 590
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It runs very cool and quiet but isn’t particularly impressive sounding nor very powerful for an AV receiver but what do you expect at this price level. On the plus side, it does integrate well with my tv and is well controlled by my tv remote and works well with Apple TV and Sony Blueray. However the surround sound is mediocre and it took several attempts to balance the center channel and sub woofer. Sony needs to upgrade its software and an App would be nice.
