Amplifier sounds good and Bluetooth works very well and connects easily to other devices. FM tuner sounds ok although would have been better if the aerial socket was a proper 75ohm coaxial one as the wire aerial supplied isn't good also why isn't the tuner a Dab one because there aren't many FM stations left anymore. The unit also has a noisy mains transformer which causes the case to resonate I lessened the hum by placing small weight over the area where the transformer and it worked.

The unit should have come with a Antenna. The product we know is the best brand name as all our electronics are Sony.

With vinyl records coming back, I wanted to upgrade my sound system. This receiver, along with some decent 100 watt speakers sure did the trick. I have always been a fan of Sony products, and this did not disappoint. For a system on a budget, I highly recommend it.

Really great sound. Everything from the Rolling Stones to Rossini, it handled it perfectly. I chose this model so I could hook up my turntable. I'm going to hook the B&W's up to it next. Really happy with this receiver. Really happy with Sony!

I have only used it to listen to digital sources, for which its clarity is the utmost. Haven't yet tried the phono source functionality, but i plan to. Features like bluetooth from your phone to the amp, plus a hard wired jack for whatever music player you want to use with an output on it. Super clean sound.

I bought this amplifier to replace a 20 year old top of the range Sony amp. I am so pleased I did. It's very easy to use and the sound quality is as good if not better than my old unit. The Bluetooth is brilliant as are the dual A & B speakers.

I bought this about a month ago to replace a 34 year old (!) Sony Stereo receiver. The old one had AM-FM receiver capability. This one only has FM Receiver built-in, but it sounds a lot cleaner than the older model. This one has fewer output jacks than my older one, but is more than adequate for my setup (Sony Stereo Cassette Deck - going on 20 years now also !), and a bluetooth Audio-Technica Record Player. This model also contains the regular size headphone jack AND a standard audio output jack on the front for older style cassette players, walkman's, etc. Very unusual feature but useful for me as I still use some of that older gear from time to time. I primarily bought and use this product for its bluetooth capability which works excellently. I have my phone, and computer able to play music to it through bluetooth. I realize bluetooth specs don't carry the full frequency range for a lot of audio musical pieces (such as classical music), but for the everyday average pop music it's just fine. This is a great entry level unit for a person who is not an audio-phile. I also bought this because of Sony durability in its products. This thing is built like a brick. Good design accents, solid metal frame, heavy duty components. I will always buy Sony products - good balance between cost, design, and functionality. Couldn't be happier with this product.

I chose the STR-DH190 because it has all the features I was seeking, adequate power output, multiple line inputs and compact size, BUT the STR-DH190 I received has an annoying electro-mechanical chassis hum, audible at some distance from my Hi Fi station. Note that this hum is not the result of a hum loop but emanates from the casing of the STR-DH190. It is the type of the noise that is customarily associated with an inadequately secured windings or cores of a mains transformer.. I have not returned the item because I am not confident that Sony's automated returns process will give me an STR-DH190 that is free of this electro-mechanical hum.

I've had this for a few months now and love it. I can use my turntable again, and my CD player works excellently. The tuner was better than expected—plenty of power to push my MTX speakers. Looks great, is easy to find your way around, and delivers quality sound
