Output is fine ... annoying issue on startup
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound output is fine. However, I cannot believe that I did not see called out in the reviews I checked before purchase the issue with the receiving requiring you to select the desired input each time it starts. So if you primarily use the receiver with your TV, you will need to use the Sony AV remote to select the input each time you turn the TV on. You can search for this on the sony forums and find the users reporting the same concern. Sony basically advises this is expected functionality and apparently it works better with a Sony TV. So beware of you are looking to pair this receiver with a non -Sony TV. I asked a question about this functionality in this best buy Q/A section a while back and one person suggested buying a $100 all in one remote and program it. You decide how much sense that makes, especially if you primarily use an X1 remote. I posted in the Sony forum a request for an updated firmware to resolve this issue. I will revisit this review if Sony looks to address this concern. See here for the sony forum reporting this issue: https://ap.community.sony.com/s/question/0D50B00004NYJa4/after-turning-on-my-new-sony-strdh590-av-receiver-the-home-menu-comes-up-on-my-tv-i-have-to-press-the-home-button-in-order-for-it-to-disappear-im-searching-for-a-fix-so-i-dont-have-to-dismiss-the-home-screen-on-each-startup?t=1546995982907

2 steps forward, 1 step back
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Replaced a 20 year comparable Sony receiver. While it is definitely a leap forward in the included tech, it is also a step back in certain less important/in demand areas. Things I had on the old one that are now gone include AM tuner, front facing USB port, front facing RCA connectors, inputs for a second set of primary speakers. Basically things I barely or never used. Still would have liked to have an AM tuner for sports.
