Beautiful Sound, Extremely Happy With Purchase

This Sony receiver replaced a 10-year old receiver and the sound difference is amazing! Combined with my speakers, the walls shake! I love the Bluetooth feature so I can play music directly from my phone and it works well with my Amazon FireTV stick!

Awesome sound

I have this unit driving some older techniques main speakers and a center and surround set from an old entertainment system. Even with the questionable speakers, this unit sounds increadible. First off I listen to my music off my iPhone or iPad. So I use Bluetooth. I know that make many audiophiles cringe. I set this up and used the automatic calibration. Selected Bluetooth in Music Surround, put on Mozart’s 25th, and wow! Even my wife could hear how much better this setup was than the old unit. Everything was properly balanced. It had a deep rich sound and bright clear highs. The surround didn’t sound echoey or fake. It was really like sitting in the orchestra pit. DVDs and cable TV sounded awesome too. I have trouble hearing the voices. The Movie HD-Digit setting is very clear and the voices are easily heard. There is even a night mode that further clarifies voices. This unit just works great right out of the box. I have it set up in a small home office, so it is pelanty powerful enough for that space and more. But if you are looking for a unit to annoy the neighbors with you might need something a bit bigger. I love it, and I am very pleased with this purchase.

Well worth the modest price tag

I've been putting off buying an a/v receiver for so long, but I'm happy I finally pulled the trigger. I previously had a 'home theatre in a box' set up before, but I wanted to be able to run the surround sound for all my devices without a dozen cords running back and forth from the tv or projector. After experimenting with 4 in 1 HDMI switchers, I finally caved and bought this receiver, along with a very attractive subwoofer. My old surround sound speakers were able to be adapted to the new receiver, but I needed an active sub, as most subs that come with a 'home theatre in a box' are passive. It was worth the money, as having the ability to tweak the sound to my exact specs is very satisfying, and now my home theatre has a clean look and very full sound. No issues with 4K passthrough, everything is transmitting to its highest potential. P.S. Bravia sync with my Sony tv is a definite plus.

Love IT

I purchased a new TV and for some reason I purchased a new receiver with it. I had a great Onkyo for my Bose surround sound but this just blows it away! I think with the new models out and using a HDMI cable just does so much better. The sound for everything I watch is great. So glad I got this with the new 65" TV. Can't go wrong for the price.

An Affordable Receiver With 4k and HDR Pass-Through

Sony finally got it right. An awesome affordable receiver with 4K and HDR pass-through. All HDMI inputs are 2.2 compliant. Easy Set Up. Nice Power at 145W per channel. Have it hooked up to a couple BIC tower speakers and a Dayton Subwoofer - will expand to 5.1 soon (or 5.2 ). But no rush - has a Front Surround feature that really does make 2.1 sound like real surround. As long as this thing lasts - and it's heavy and built like a tank so it should - I couldn't be more happy with my purchase. Also kudos to the seller - Ordered on Monday and was delivered on Wednesday - 2 days earlier then expected!

It filled my ears like others could not.

I own many Sony products, I recently decided to change my 15 years old Sony receiver because it lost its surround capabilities which I did with a Yamaha, but gross mistake, screechy highs and muffled bass, I had to return it, I found this Sony STRDH590 in Amazon Warehouse deals, hoping it was a damaged package or repackaged, but it was a return instead. That fact was not an issue with the description and I installed it, even though it did not have Wi-Fi capabilities and all the bells and whistles the Yamaha had, the sound was exactly what I expected, clear robust highs and potent bass, very well in sync with my Sony speakers rated 100 Watts satellites, 120 Watts center and 120 Watts powered sub-woofer, I should've never gone with another brand.

Quite a good, cost effective small room surround solution

I put together a straightforward 5.1 surround system in my small den based on a Yamaha amp that started to go a little wonky - it would turn itself on (yup!), often would mute the volume, occasionally wouldn't permit volume control from remote, sometimes picture resolution dropped, yada-yada-yada... The sound was basically OK so I decided to modify course and swap the amp out for this Sony STRDH590. Wow, what a difference! Couldn't be easier to set up and calibrate. The sound stage is immersive, detailed and very present. Best of all, it makes my very average speakers sparkle with clarity and crispness. I'm not a snooty audiophile but my ears can still recognize a huge improvement in movie watching at a comparatively bargain price. You'll really like this amp.

A great surround sound receiver for a good price.

I purchased it to go along with Sony android TV. Works like a charm. TV and receiver work together like a single unit, after set up, have not had to do anything else. Do not even think about it. Just turn on the TV, receiver comes on with TV. If any other component is used, receiver switches flawlessly by itself and then switches back to TV when you switch back to TV. I do not know how it would do with other brands of TVs, but I would think it would probably be a pretty good choice.

Simple and Works

I have mine hooked up to external speakers , TV (older model) and gaming system. It was actually easy to set up, HDMI and regular speaker wire capable. It is heavy duty, not cheap feeling. It has FM radio with ability to set favorite channels, and the system has sound options (Dolby, concert, etc..). My volume works with TV remote or use the one that comes with it, but it's not really necessary. It has a headphone jack on the front (I use a Bluetooth adapter and works with wireless headphones that way). That will then turn off the outer speakers, great for listening to a movie late at night. My only complaint, wish you could just use wireless headphones without an adapter. The ability to connect your phone up or tablet/laptop using Bluetooth to listen to your music through it is very cool. When switching inputs on your TV to your game console it automatically says gaming and remembers your sound style choice (Dolby, concert, etc..) and when you switch back to Media, TV or whatever it does everything smoothly. Really can't complain, and I think the price was pretty good. I have a couple old box speakers hooked up and it make them sound good.
