The Perfect Receiver

Joseph from Georgetown, PA on 2/19/2023

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

I love this thing. Nice features. 5.2 is exactly what I needed. Ordering online from Crutchfield was easy enough. It arrived in just two days well protected and in perfect shape. Install was just as easy and I've paired with my iPod and iPhone a number of times already. Directions for setup are easy enough to follow if you need them. I've got it hooked to Pioneer speakers left over from my quadrophonic days that are probably older than you. I'm studying center speakers and considering a subwoofer that will work with my setup but for now the sound is pretty darn good and I'm happy. I continue to have good luck with Sony products (I love Sony remotes) and with Crutchfield.

Pros: Install, Sound, Ease of Operation, Features

Cons: Almost invisible print on buttons and controls located on the front panel.

Like so many other Sony products that I own, this receiver is a gem. Moving from a larger home with a grand home theater system, the new smaller home is perfect for this receiver/amp. It's easy to understand and sounds just wonderful. I even installed and connected myself. What a wonder! I love Sony products because they have never under performed to my expectations.

For the most part this receiver is excellent. However, we could not tune the sound sufficiently for us to hear clear TV dialogue, even with Night Mode activated and a couple of other tweaks. For music and movie sound effects, it is really good. Just couldn't make it work for TV dialogue, at least for our ears.

Pros: Excellent for music and movies. Easy to set up.

Cons: Couldn't hear TV dialogue clearly.

Works well. We have a 5.1 system and have had the same Sony receiver for nearly 20 years. Some functions stopped working and it seemed to be time for an upgrade. This fit the bill for our needs. The Bluetooth and HDMI options are great and the sound is excellent for both surround and music.

Verified employee review (What's this?)

Been a Yamaha GUY for decades but living on the Pensacola Florida Gulf coast, which is the lightning capital of the US, the destructive toll on the HDMI circuits of televisions and receivers has been brutal. We still do Yamaha in our main room but was looking for a more affordable and expendable receiver alternative for the auxiliary rooms . The HDMI CIRCUITS are one storm away from destruction from static lightning regardless of surge protection, total disconnection, etc. This Sony is a great value for the features. Did the self install thing as usual but got stumped a bit on the less than elaborate user manual. Swallowed my pride and called tech support. JOHN ANSWERED IMMEDIATELY and used his expertise and resources to get me on track in a few minutes, saving me what could have been another hour or more troubleshooting the issue coordinating the Sony receiver to our new Samsung tv, which is also a new brand for our household. Finished dialing in the sound for the 5.1 system and the receiver sounds great with our Klipsch speakers. Again, a BIG SHOUT OUT TO JOHN IN TECH AND CRUTCHFIELD for providing support for the products they sell. I will continue to be a customer.

A really nice receiver. Setup is near fool proof. I have it powering two Polk tower speakers and a Polk center channel and sending audio signal to two Polk 12" powered subwoofers. Easy setup function is a breeze to do with the microphone. Plenty of power. Integration to TV, 4K Blu-Ray and 4K Apple TV is a snap. Get quality 4K HDMI cables and connection is easy. Turn on your Blu-Ray player and the receiver turns on and so does the TV. The receiver goes to the correct mode automatically. Regardless of what mode it was in when it was shutdown. I have only scratched the surface of this unit capability but it does everything I need it to do perfectly so no complaints.

Quick setup minus my own mess of cables. Paired with Bluetooth and Sony TV really quickly. Better sound out of rear surround speakers. Hoping to have years worth of good sound with it. Had read about some people having issues a few months down the road so thats why 4 star instead of 5.

Pros: HDMI inputs, ARC functionality, pairing with TV.

Cons: None yet!

Good middle of the road receiver. Not trying to be more than it is. Trying to get components to talk to each other takes some time, the owners manual is not much help. Still trying to figure out why Bluetooth is not connecting for music streaming. Currently streaming through the tv.

Pros: Inexpensive. Runs speakers for a modest home setup.

Cons: Manuals are less than helpful. Complexity at this level should not be necessary.

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

price of electronics is so way up lately and I just didn't want to spend full price on a HT receiver so I bought it S & D. this Sony sounds good but not out of the box, you will have to experiment with the different settings (hd dig, DD PL, multi channel, etc) until you find the best sound for the streamer, the BD player and the TV because, believe me, one setting "does not rule them all". the auto calibration? it makes the sound worse, didn't work for me in other receivers so I recommend to set it manually. there's a two-channel mode for music that adds the subwoofer so that's great. but I also like how it plays music in both the multichannel and PL II modes, it depends mostly on the type of music. a YouTube reviewer dragged this receiver through the mud and I say he missed badly, maybe he did the auto cal thing and left it at that. if you spend some time in the menu and calibrate it manually, maybe this receiver will work for you too.

Pros: very satisfactory sound both for movies and music; BT pairs fast and stable; smaller than others, I like that

Cons: don't know why can't get tv sound through the ARC input; feels light weight, the remote also, but, hey, it could be had for less than $200 in '19, so...

Great receiver, plenty of power and really great sounding for the money. I'm using mine in my bedroom with Polk audio S50s and a Polk center channel with a klipsch sub{don't even need it}. Movies are legit and just playing music is sooo good sounding. Had a Yamaha s202 and the Sony sounds a lot better imo. Always hooks up to Bluetooth instantly, the Yamaha did not. Sony rules!

Pros: Always works, sound quality is great with music and movies. Price is perfect!

Cons: No complaints!!! If it ain't broke, don't fix it!!

William from Gloucester, VA on 10/11/2022

Verified employee review (What's this?)

I had a Yamaha 7.2 receiver that was much more than I needed for my system. I have a Klipsch surround sound speaker system in a mid-sized room. I wanted a 5.2 receiver that did not overwhelm me with sound field choices. Wanted to insert a DVD / Blu Ray / CD and hear the sound as it was recorded or filmed without having to make a bunch of adjustments. This is it. Easy set-up and easy to use. The remote is intuitive without overwhelming you with buttons. Only complaint is Crutchfield was supposed to send me a pack of wire tabs to identify the wires, but I didn't get them. But very satisfied with the purchase.

Douglas from Gibsonia, PA on 9/23/2022

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

If using this receiver with your television you'll be disappointed to know that your cable box providers remote will not adjust volume on the receiver like my old receiver did. So you go from using one remote to two remotes. Also when you get into the Bluetooth mode on one of your devices it is extremely hard to disconnect when you are done. The receiver is more like an unintelligent switching box and cannot be programmed, so the remote is more of a toy than a useful device. When using the Bluetooth feature on the receiver, it will give you audio on your tv but not video.

Needed to replace my old receiver with a unit that was smaller in depth due to size restrictions of new entertainment stand. Read many reviews and worked with Woody at Crutchfield and decided to purchase the SonySTR-DH590. This smaller sized receiver doesn't give up anything in performance and versatility. There are multiple audio inputs / outputs to connect cd/dvd/tv and speaker plus subwoofers. Great sound (more than enough power for a smaller living room) and easy to use bluethooth connectivity make this unit a joy to use and a very reasonable price.

Great value in a very affordable low-end unit80

Rick from Columbus, OH on 8/4/2022

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

This new Sony AV receiver replaced an 11 year old Pioneer unit that would not play nice with streaming devices like Apple TV and Fire Stick. Always losing the audio channel when I switched from app to app and device to device. Very Frustrating. So it was time to do something about. The Sony STR-DH590 is a basic home theater receiver that more than meets my needs to handle a couple inputs and my Paradigm Cinema CT110 speakers and the sub. It's got the features I need and the Bluetooth capability is great now that I have a few of those devices with music on them. I found that my sub really needed to be turned down with this receiver - way down. There are no surprises with this rig. It more than meets my needs and I hope to have it for many years.

Pros: Plenty of power with 80 watts per channel True 5.1 support Easy to use remote Easy setup Speaker calibration mic included Easy to understand user manual

Cons: Prefer banana jacks for surround and center channels for speakers. Spring clip connections are a cheap way to do it, although still functional.

Larry from N Scituate, RI on 5/30/2022

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

I've only had it for a few days so this review isn't of great insight. It was brought to upgrade a 15-20 yr old Yamaha AV that was also entry level at the time. I was cobbling together connections to bridge old and new tech. It was messy and glitchy. After researching ad infinitum I settled on the Sony mostly because of it's shorter depth than the others given my space confinements and a wife that thinks that audio should components be invisible. It set up easy and I didnt read directions. Love this thing. Everything works and improved my horrible crap speakers to almost listenable. Bluetooth connections are especially smooth and fast. When I turn on the TV the unit automatically switches output. The soundstage was night and day to what I had. The TV sound pops and is immersive and made me realize that my old connections where compromising sound far more than I realized. I'm not having the on screen menu problems others are having. So far my only beef is the "enhanced" setting for streaming compressed music doesn't allow for sub woofer to work. This thing is sweet, doing the job, and when powering good speakers, really shines. I'm not an audiophile but my wife and kid think I'm a sound snob. Since I grew up in the 70's when stereo components burst on the scene, I cannot compromise. Big speakers, big power, big sound. This isn't that, but when paired with good speakers and a sub, not a bad compromise.

Pros: Ease of setup Intuitive function Small size

Cons: No sub-woofer on enhanced setting

Verified employee review (What's this?)

This was my first receiver in many years. I did not know what to look for or what to even expect. It has done the job, but it is lacking features and I totally suggest spending a little more money and getting one of the more expensive receivers. Buy something you can grow into. THis one also has some ghost sound issues. Changes the sound setting randomly and it turns on and off randoml- even when the TV is off. Lastly, the speaker wire attachments are not posts and there is no dedicated phono input for all you vinyl players.

Pros: It is cheaper than most.

Cons: Lack of features Sound changes randomly no phono input

Works fine so far. Replaces another Sony receiver that died (of "old age"), and is compatible with our existing surround sound speakers. Automatic relative balancing of speaker volumes (using included calibration microphone during setup process) is a nice feature, given that our speakers are not placed optimally due to various constraints.

Good receiver that's slightly smaller then some from other brands. Would like it more if it didn't have spring connections for 3 out 5 speakers but probably fine for most people. The Bluetooth connection works well, all the HDMI source connections works well. The power on relay is a bit louder than other receivers I've owned. Setup was easy with the included microphone. Remote control is easy to use.

4K support is extremely limited

Derek from San Francisco Bay Area on 2/1/2022

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

I have lived with this unit for over a year and regret the purchase. It would be fine if it actually supported 4k pass through on common devices. It certainly does not work well with the Roku Ultra, the Xbox one or the no name android tv box I just bought to replace the Roku in a vain attempt to find switchable 4k source. If a modern AV receiver cannot source the video one of the major streaming brands or the video of one of the two major game consoles what exactly is the point of "supporting" 4k? These AV receivers should be reviewed for compatibility with major brand components so that buyers aware of their limitations. Presumably there is a 4k source out there that actually works with this sony reciever but I have not yet found one.

Unplanned replacement receiver

Verified employee review (What's this?)

This replaces a 1999 Sony receiver that i also purchased from Crutchfield. New one has essentially the same functions but with HDMI inputs and switching. No more 12 foot HDMI cables to back of tv--just one and shorter ones in equipment rack from sources to the Sony. The remote has dedicated input buttons as well as sound field buttons. Good choice for my retirement budget and the Sony does all I need it to do for my 5.1 system. I like!

Pros: HDMI switching, dedicated input buttons on remote

Cons: I do NOT like Sony's front channel speaker connectors nor do I like the other channels' spring loaded connectors.

Sony quality on a budget

Laurie from TOMS RIVER, NJ on 4/26/2021

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Nice receiver. Good sound. Very efficient and runs nice and cool. Has everything you need and nothing you don't. I really like the sound optimization with the supplied microphone. Adjusts for the best sound in that particular room. Sound is good in multi channel sound, very accurate. In stereo mode it's phenomenal. And for once the remote control is easy to read and use although I did train my universal remote to combine all the remotes for easy use.

Pros: Many different sound modes. Has good S/N ratio and frequency range, with full 20hz to 20khz response. Full array of line inputs and HDMI ports. There is no phono input so you will need a phono preamp, most TT nowadays have it built in so that's not an issue. I like the way the receiver, TV and DVD are all synced via the HDMI. Good FM radio with supplied FM antenna but with a weird feature. And the price was good too.

Cons: Only one I can think of. This is where the cost cutting is obvious. Sony should have built the RDS system into the tuner. It's a handy feature I like. Instead, you have to go into the menu on the TV and enter the station call letters manually. What is this? 1990? Not a deal breaker but I felt I should mention it. Although you can select between FM radio and FM stereo reception and set the mode with the station program.

My Latest Upgrade.

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

I have only owned this receiver for less than two weeks, so I can't really make any observations regarding its long-term reliability. However, so far it is definitely the best receiver/amplifier I have used, ever. I finally have enough power to run all my speakers without the cut-off being activated. It was very easy to set up to my cd player, DVD player, television, and laptop, all of which I use through this amp regularly. The controls are very easy to understand and access. I especially enjoy the way the lights turn off after a few minutes and eliminate any annoying lights. The sound quality is fantastic. this is a much-improved upgrade from my old receiver. And the Crutchfield assistant was patient, knowledgeable, and fun to talk with. Recommended, especially for the price.

This unit replaced an older Sony that died after many years of reliable service.

Great Entry Level 5.1 Receiver

Crutchfield customer from Perryopolis, PA on 2/21/2021

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

I have been in the market for a new ES level unit but they are just not available yet. In the mean time I bought this to keep my system running. For what this unit is, it works perfectly. Bought this to "upgrade" from a 2002 VR-333ES, to utilize the auto calibration system and leverage some of the higher bandwidth audio capabilities. The cal system seemed to be accurate but after watching a few movies I realized that the center channel seemed a little high. I adjusted the speaker size setting and calibrated again and the same thing happened. In the end, the auto cal system seems a bit off. From a performance standpoint, this unit will leave a set of Def Tec 800 and 1000 series thirsty. The output power seems to roll flat at as the volume goes up but remains distortion free. If big power is what you crave, look elsewhere. But for the average family 5.1 home theater that needs an HDMI switch, buy it.

Pros: 4K HDMI Switching / ARC 5.1 DTS Decent Power Value Harmony with other Sony porducts

Cons: Wont really push a decent set of speakers. Menu Nav a little tricky. Only two channels use banana jacks.

Good but a few strange behaviors. Cable remote powers up the STB, TV and unit but it has to cycle 2x for the sound to start working: turns on with sound but then goes to mute and then comes back with sound which is ok but a bit annoying. Also on the first weekend it would turn on and raise itself to max volume. Remote and dial on the unit would not work to turn it down. Had to power cycle to clear and ok this past week so far. I've only had it a couple weeks but other than the 2 items I mentioned it seems ok otherwise.

I've been very happy with my Sony STR-DH590 receiver. Very good sound quality, and easy to setup. Quite the upgrade from my old receiver, which didn't have HDMI ports. Few minor annoyances, but nothing I'd take stars off for.

Pros: - Good sound quality - Easy setup - Good price

Cons: - Getting it setup, I had a bit of trouble getting the CEC/ARC setup between the receiver and TV; the receiver kept trying to show it's home menu when I turned it on, and would turn off without being told when I turned the TV off. After playing around with settings on both devices I was able to get this resolved though. - Volume equalization isn't great. It helps, but doesn't work as well as I would like (the sound card I bought for my PC equalizes much better) - Some settings can be adjus

Double Money Receivers Were No Better for Me

Crutchfield customer from Lincoln, CA on 12/26/2020

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

With my hearing problem, I have tried two other receivers that cost twice the money to clarify streaming dialogue but they are no better that this cost effective Sony STR-DH590. Nice receiver with easy setup, and very nice sound. Using it for Netflix, Dish satellite especially their music, and blue tooth of songs on my iPhone. For an old guy like me, streaming dialogue is difficult so I bought the Sennheiser Flex 5000 for wireless earphones. Works very well. Wife has her super hearing low volume and I have my clear earphones - only used for streaming when I can't get the dialogue. I will work on the receiver settings to improve the spoken word. Otherwise all is well.

Pros: Cost Simplicity

Not a 145 watts a channel as it says on the box, also came with a small dent on top, left back of receiver, but not worth returning. Is not Crutchfield's fault. Other wise receiver does the job and would recommend buying.

Pros: Nice for price

Cons: See review above.

Nice system. Has everything I needed to connect all my equipment. I had never used a surround sound speaker setup so that was a nice feature. Easy to rename sources. Good price, fast delivery as usual from Crutchfield. Also saved a few bucks buying an Open Box. Everything was perfect.

Replaces earlier Sony receiver lacking up-graded connections......and does a great, if not better, job for an outstanding 5.1 surround sound system experience. Had purchased a Yamaha sound bar with new tv and was unhappy with the sound.....and returned it to be replaced with Sony unit.

Not loud at all. The only reason I got it is because my new one didn't have built in Bluetooth. The sound was good but you could have it all the way no problem. It does look nice and is easy to use but I think Sony has this way overrated on its power level. On the back of the receiver it's only powered at 200w total. I actually sent it back and got a onyko it is way better.

Verified employee review (What's this?)

I bought this to replace a 10+ yo STR-DH540 whose front Display died. Otherwise, it still worked perfectly. The 590 lacks many of the options of the 540 which is both good and bad. It is easier to setup and operate but doesn't allow as many adjustments. The tradeoff is bluetooth controls.

SONY receiver is fantastic. Works with all my components. Plenty of choices for terrific sound from Blue-Ray, TV, VCR, Wii, ect. Would recommend this SONY to anyone. Very good price for all the ease of setup and features you get. PLUS you get Carl that you can call and get excellent support for all your questions, Without Carl I would have been lost.

Huge upgrade from a very old Sony receiver. The looks, connectivity and setup are all excellent for a value receiver. I love the sleek look but the type font on the device is so small it's difficult to read the button labels. But, I'm old.

Pros: Setup, connectivity, sound.

Not for everybody

Crutchfield customer from Linthicum Hts, MD on 12/6/2020

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Very disappointed. Complicated S/W and if you move to fast, it gets confused. Was there a help guide mentioned in the manual? The worst though is the antenna. Not 75 OHM and somewhat obscure. My rooftop over the air coax is useless. I had to create my own solution to adapt the unit after some significant time researching others same problem. Wife says the reason is that Sony does not want you to listen to' FM Radio, only streaming. The Optical Digital input exploded on the insertion. Could have been my fault, but I doubt it. I will be returning the unit for this particular issue, but will ask for a replacement. Why? The price was fantastic and I will use it somewhere, especially since i have spent so much time on modifications, finding and using the "help guide" , and overall frustration in learning and using the unit. If Crutchfield drops the price of the unit again try it out, but get ready.

Pros: Price

Cons: Almost everything

A good, easy to understand receiver for the beginnings of my humble home theater. Currently I am using it for 2 tower speakers with plans to expand later. The HDMI link with the connected projector makes it easy to use a single controller to operate multiple components of my system (audio, projector & blu-ray player)

Pros: Easy to set up.

Cons: None so far.

Dont buy Marantz

Crutchfield customer from Corp Christi , TX on 12/1/2020

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Works better than the Marantz 1509. Sounds better and hopefully will last longer than 9 months. The Marantz I purchased from crutchfield quit working , called crutchfield they said to call a repair center. Took 2 weeks to get ahold of the company, long story short shipping it was 65.00 then they said the first 125.00 was out of my pocket. Well it made more sense to shoot it with my .338 Lapua rifle, I felt better watching it explode into many fine pieces, beautiful sight. I ordered the Sony so far so good. Be careful when a company states warranty B.S. , most companies never honor their warranties.

Pros: Good value Sounds better than the Marantz I had for 9 months

Cons: None yet

Replaced an old Pioneer (gak) receiver/amp. Drives equally old Technics and Sony speakers, and a Polk sub just fine. Good clarity and low distortion. Bluetooth pairing is easy with multiple sources. Don't know about the FM receiver...really have no use for it, but it's there.

Pros: Didn't cost a small fortune, great sound, EQ options are adequate.

Cons: Hard to read the button titles on the front of the unit.

Great receiver for the money! Easy to use, plenty of settings! Only thing I found is in 2 channel mode, the sub outputs do not work. So have to run in surround mode. Not a big deal for my setup, but may be for someone else. I use my old Bose satellite system and it all runs through the sub and crosses over, but my temporary setup found the sub output not optimal for 2.1 setups.

Great value for the money

Crutchfield customer from Oshkosh, WI on 10/15/2020

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

I replaced my 20-year-old Sony surround sound receiver with this model. The old one didn't have the right inputs for modern satellite boxes, Blu Ray, etc. Unit was easy to install, and close enough to the old model as far as location of jacks on the back. Has RCA jacks for Sub instead of terminals for bare wire, so I had to change one wire. Intuitive, comes with mic for an auto setup feature. As soon as I ran that, I could instantly hear spoken word and sound effects much better than with the old unit. Music quality went way up. I am now thinking of replacing the front speakers with higher quality ones so that I can really take advantage of the improvement in sound quality. I don't expect it to replace my vintage tube hifi for music listening but I'm really enjoying watching concert videos and Music talent shows (Masked Singer, the Voice, etc.) much more than I used to due to the good sound quality. PLENTY of power, we have it in a huge rec room with a 110" screen and HD Projector. Old amp used to be turned up to about 50 to hear spoken words over the sound effects. This one is only turned up to 30 or 35 tops to really blast the room with small inefficient surround sound speakers, with good speakers I think I could shake the whole house.

Pros: Does everything I need for a surround sound receiver, easy to use, simple remote

Cons:
