The sound solution for the less-is-more movement

On one hand, you want something that sounds much better than a boombox or iPod® speaker. On the other hand, you want something that's far less complex than a surround sound system. Then you'll find your sweet spot in a classic stereo receiver. Or maybe one from the new breed that includes Internet radio or other network music options. Add two speakers (and another music source, if you like), and you're ready to relax and enjoy your tunes. It might even be all you really need for TV sound.

Our take on the Sony STR-DH100

by Dave Bar

You can count on clear, dynamic stereo sound and rock-solid dependability with Sony's STR-DH100. For rooms where you don't need a complete home theater system, this receiver delivers the audio "basics" and more. It treats your music right with 90 watts per channel for smooth, low-distortion sound.

You get five audio inputs for all your music sources. The included remote gives you easy control of this receiver and any other compatible Sony audio/video components you've got in your system.

Highlights:

  • 90 watts x 2 (stereo) into 8 ohms (20-20,000 Hz) at 0.09% THD
  • 5 stereo RCA audio inputs
  • no phono input — to connect a turntable you'll need to add a phono preamp
  • 30 AM and 30 FM presets
  • separate bass and volume control
  • two sets of speaker outputs
  • full-size headphone jack
  • remote control
  • 16-15/16"W x 5-3/16"H x 11-11/16D"
  • weight: 15 lbs.
  • warranty: 2 years
  • Our 60-day money-back guarantee

sony str dh-100

Written By ed, Port St Lucie, Florida on Wednesday, April 18, 2012
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
I purchased this receiver for the purpose of music and football games broadcast on radio. It is easy to use, and the sound is wonderful. I have it connected to a multi room controller and I just love it. This item replaced an old Kenwood I had for nigh on 20 years, and I made the right choice, Especially for the cost. I you want video surround sound, I doubt this would feed your needs, but it sure met mine.
Pros:
Ease of use, watts per channel, and it fits perfectly where my old one sat.
Cons:
Can't find any for what I use it.

Written By Jay, Urbana, IL on Tuesday, April 17, 2012
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
So far it's been very easy to use. I like the features it came with and its simple design (too many buttons scare me). It's not a huge deal but I think its odd that it makes a loud noise when I push power than takes like 10 seconds maybe before you start to hear sound, my last reciever was instant.

Solid value

Written By Darrin S, Yuba City, CA on Sunday, February 05, 2012
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
Great receiver for basic use. Note- this is not a home theater, or a surround sound... it's a STEREO receiver. I am using this to power my home system (wired in 8 rooms in my house). I had been using a walmart varity RCA (100 watt per channel) receiver- but I knew these speakers could handle much more. There is a dramatic difference, no distortion...and as simple to set up as could be. If you want basic, simple, and value from a stereo receiver- this is it.

Good Sony receiver.

Written By Matt H07, sf, ca on Monday, January 23, 2012
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
This is a good Sony receiver. It works good and handles like a Sony, which is just about the best feel in a stereo receiver. This is 2 channel stereo (for my pc.) 5 stars to Sony, and Crutchfield is top notch on where to buy a stereo receiver 5 stars too.
Pros:
Works great.
Cons:
none.

nice receiver

Written By BillO, Charlestown, RI on Saturday, November 19, 2011
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
I managed to get around the 'no eq' problem by using an audio source selector. This allowed me to use my eq and fixed everything but FM (which is not external).

My sub is wired to the two floor speakers as this receiver has no dedicated sub output.

I have two tweeters (with their own rheostat) on one of the amp's A/B sections. Also, the sub has its own crossover + volume control.

All in all, even factoring in the bit of clumsiness of the audio source selector, I'm completely happy with this unit (I seldom listen to FM).
Pros:
It has plenty of power for a smallish room. The 20-20,000 + less than 1% THD are fine. The price was fine. The AM/FM are strong.
Cons:
No Tape 2 loop for an EQ.

Nice 2 channel receiver

Written By Whitster, Upstate New York on Thursday, October 13, 2011
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
Simple straight forward receiver with 2 channel speaker outputs. Works well. FM tuner section seems to be excellent. I am not using a turntable in this setup so the lack of a phono input is not a factor for me.

Sony STR-DH100

Written By Gets the job done, Reno NV on Friday, March 04, 2011
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
Purchased this receiver for audio only and its narrow depth so it would fit on a bookcase
is a small home office. Coupled with a TEAC CDP1260 CD player and small bookshelf
KLH speakers. Gets the job done nicely. Sony STR-DH100 has all the features I want
for this intallation. Only significant complaint is the FM tuner doesn't pull in stations very
well. Actually no better FM reception than the 30 year old receiver it replaced. Two other
receivers in the house (more expensive) do a much better job, particularly the Onyko TX
8555.

Sony Stereo Reciever

Written By PB, OC IOWA on Monday, January 24, 2011
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
I purchased this reciever from crutchfield to put in my garage. I think my old JVC had more of
a rich-bold sound, but this does what I wanted it to: give me high quality sound from my
IPOD. The dm port was something I needed so that I could finally listen to all my music and
even use Pandora. I would recommend this unit to a friend. Sounds nice even with some
old Pioneer bookshelf speakers!
Thanks Crutchfield
