Brilliant sound and quality product :)

Set up was quick and connected to turntable so I could play my old LPs. Sounds fantastic. Powerful good quality audio, brilliant controls and even used the radio :).

Mid- range amp with Top-range performance !

I purchased this amplifier to replace an AKAI AM-U22 unit that had started to malfunction after 37 years service. I needed a full set of RCA sockets on the new unit in order to connect with my other equipment in the studio, and the Sony STRDH190.CEK has ample. I have connected my original pair of Goodmans Quartet speakers, plus a feed to two YAMAHA HS8 studio monitors, and the sound is excellent, and very powerful. I have also plugged my computer soundcard into the Sony via a jackplug to RCA adapter lead and that also matches up with no distortion or loss of sound quality. The components used in the manufacture of the amplifier are all heavy duty and the unit oozes quality in all respects, a mid -range price for a top-range product. The stereo receiver is an added bonus and was easy to set up and find channels, and I can now listen to the radio in full theatre quality surround sound. I have not tried the Bluetooth circuit or the 'portable audio device' socket, but feel sure they would work perfectly if required. Would definitely recommend.

Sounds that can be made

Great sound, used with 4 speakers. Plenty of options to set up. The remote is useful. I used cable with proper plug end but you can use bare wire, bit why would you if you paid this much for an amplifier. Instructions are good.

Quite buggy for this price

I had an Onkyo atmos enabled AV previously. Very solid bit of kit. However, I have a Sony Bravia TV with the speakers behind the screen. I thought, after reading reviews, this looks great and allows me to make the TV the centre speaker.It works fine as a sound system. But I find it quite buggy in general use. Just little things like sometimes the TV doesn't activate as the centre speaker - so I have to turn things off an on again to re-engage.I get sound drop outs when watching 4k/Atmos/Vision stuff on Netflix...which is very annoying. Just a second or two, but it's something that should happen. My guess is it's e-arc related - but my cable is 8k HDMI...so should be able to handle the bandwidth.It makes a really loud bang noise when waking up or going into stand-by. I don't know who product tested this, but if someone heard this bang and thought 'yep, this is approved', then they should consider a career change.It's not worth full price (around £1000). I preferred my old Onkyo and that was only a few hundred quid. The only major benefit is the TV as the centre speaker.The AFD is fairly clever - but not worth the extra money.The auto calibration was well off too.

I’m Thrilled to Bits!

I’m thrilled to bits with my purchase. I had been looking vaguely for an amplifier to replace my Pioneer A10, but which would enable me to play my Hi-res Walkman player through it without having to use a separate BlueTooth receiver. I had tried that but the sound quality was not great - a bit tinny and lacking in depth.This Sony unit is the answer to my prayers. The sound quality is really great - I use a pair of (rather elderly but superb) TannoyMercury M3 speakers - and is definitely superior to my Pioneer amp. The remote control is just right, allowing access to all the functions you need without any difficulty. The BlueTooth input is a dream, connecting instantly with my WalkMan and producing a sound clarity that exceeds what I would have believed possible having regard to the limitations inherent in the BlueTooth process. I presume that the fact that I’m linking two Sony products may have something to do with this.Do I have any reservations at all? No - except perhaps that I didn’t buy this sooner! The build quality and value for money are just unbelievable.

Humming transformer noise

The media could not be loaded. I have been a fan of Sony quality products all my life, had many items over the years, including my current TV, can't believe I can only give this amp 2 stars. That is due to after just two weeks of using, it has an incessant hum that is not acceptable. Looking online, other people have had the same issue with this model. It's gone back to Amazon for repair, I sort of hope it can't be, so I can get a refund and buy another make. Had several HiFi amps and never had one him like this, my last Marantz was silent, as was the Rotel before that. Very odd for a Sony item. The amp is very good functionally and great sound connected to my Systemdek turntable or Bluetooth to my phone, even more of a shame it has such a flaw!Update 27 Jan 25: Amp returned from Amazon repair after 3 weeks, no fault found, still hums like a good one!! Amazon have refunded, I've bought a similar, slightly more expensive Denon amp and it is 100% silent. I can only conclude the Sony receiver/amplifier has an inherent design fault, which I find unacceptable in 2025, it should not be like the mid 80's and reminiscent of a scene out of Back to the Future!!!
