    Great 5.1 surround system. I was able to hook up my turntable (for transferring vinyl to CD on the PC) without an adapter. You need an adapter with a standard turntable.

    Have had this for a short while now. Other than the fact that it runs VERY hot, and a few minor issues, I have been satisfied with the purchase and price that I bought it at. I can heartily recommend this Receiver (especially if you can find it on sale) as an "Entry level"/budget receiver.

      Hi GrandMaColleen,

      Thanks for sharing your experience so far with your STR-DH590 5.2Ch AV Receiver. Choosing this AV Receiver will definitely be worth it. We're delighted to hear you are enjoying the outstanding sound quality of this receiver. We apologize that the unit gets heat so much. The audio system generates heat (even at low volume) due to circuit processing, and the area around the heat radiation holes on the top or back can become hot. The System may become even hotter depending on usage. To make sure heat is radiated efficiently, check the following:

      • Don't put the unit in a rack
      • Don't close or cover the heat radiation holes on the back or side of the unit
      • Keep the unit at least 10 centimeters (3.94 inches) away from any wall or other objects

      At Sony we strive to put forward the best possible products for our customers. Thank you so much for your purchase and for choosing Sony! -Jess Sony_US

    Pros - easy to set up - sounds nice and comes with a remote Cons - annoying pop up screen every time you start the device - difficult to change names of input with limitation on characters. Much of the fine tuning options do not display on screen rather they only show in the tiny reads out on the device in cryptic language.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Hi RogerH,

      We're happy that you like most of the features and great performance of the receiver. We also appreciate your feedback regarding your concern about the receiver. It is part of the normal operation to display the home menu of the receiver if it is connected to your TV via HDMI. Simply press the home button on the remote control to exit. Make sure that all HDMI devices connected have HDMI Control enabled. On the other hand, if all HDMI devices are connected to the TV and only the HDMI ARC/eARC port connects to the receiver, then the TV will both control and display all device menus and content.

      Experience the bigger, clearer picture when you upgrade your home cinema setup with the STR-DH590. The 5.2ch AV receiver brings movies to life with 4K HDR pass through, Dolby® Vision and flexible surround sound. Bring all your devices together with BLUETOOTH® connectivity and multiple inputs.
