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

Great value in a basic receiver
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony had always put out great product. This unit for the money is excellent. Doesn't do everything that an AV receiver can do, but the features that are on the unit work great.

Budget level with some future proofing
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this receiver as a gift for my parents as they had some nice speakers but their old receiver no longer worked. This also allows them to future proof for when they have a 4k tv as it has eARC and 4k pass through. Quality new receivers are hard to find at the moment. This was a very good choice in the price range for not true audiophiles, who just wanted to use their already existing speakers while listening to music or watching tv and movies.
