Great Sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We replaced.a much older receiver with this Sony receiver. We love the sound, but wish it had a built-in Bluetooth transmitter. We have a set of Sharper Image wireless speakers that we cannot use because the unit lacks an output for either 1/8" phono or RCA connectors.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This receiver replaces a more expensive one that lasted only a year. It not only does everything I need, but is compatible with the Comcast remote which the prior one was not. Kudos to the Geek Squad for their timely and informative installation.

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...

Perfect for 5.1 in a smaller den or bedroom
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is perfect for a second viewing room, in our case, a bedroom. I'd still like to throw a subwoofer into the mix but it's a small space, for which a smallish set of speakers work fine. With a set of five matching speakers, the center has a 3/4" tweeter and two 4", and the others match with a single 4" and tweeter each, two on stands and the two surrounds in bookcases. It could handle my bigger speakers too, except for the two rear surrounds in our slightly larger home theater. The codecs are up to date for streaming audio and UHD, and a UHD disc player. I have a much older system plays SACD multi-channel and drives 7.1, but if it ever starts to go out, this will hold us until we bite the bullet and go for a beefy system with Atmos.

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.

Spectacular value

Their room calibration process (with the included microphone) takes just a couple of minutes and vastly improves the imaging and clarity of the sound.
