The Perfect Receiver
Joseph from Georgetown, PA on 2/19/2023
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.

Great Product
Bob from Pickerington, OH on 2/16/2023
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.

G Randolph from ARLINGTON, TX on 1/14/2023
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.
Pros: Works great!

Robert from Milton, FL on 12/22/2022
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.

Paul from West Concord, MN on 12/13/2022
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.

Nice sound, good features for price point
David from Vail, AZ on 12/3/2022
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!

Jason from Marietta, GA on 11/27/2022
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.

does the job
it's me from San Juan, PR on 10/31/2022
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...

Awesome sound!!!
Graham from Woodland Wa on 10/16/2022
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!!

Just what I was looking for
William from Gloucester, VA on 10/11/2022
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.

Very limited receiver.
Douglas from Gibsonia, PA on 9/23/2022
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.

Gregory from Bay City, MI on 8/31/2022
I got this receiver for my Mother and setup a home theater for her, since she had a blu ray player, spectrum, and a roku hooked up directly through her television, but was causing problems. Solved all the problems by connecting everything through the Sony Receiver and now she gets surround sound for all her sources. Works great and sounds great with great video processing.
Pros: Very easy setup and connections and great performance.

Tom from Bay Village, OH on 8/30/2022
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
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.

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

Spend a little more
Thomas from Eureka, CA on 4/11/2022
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

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.

4K support is extremely limited
Derek from San Francisco Bay Area on 2/1/2022
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.

Setup was easy and the performance is excellent, filling my entire house with sound. I especially enjoy the convenience of Bluetooth and the easy-to-operate remote.

Unplanned replacement receiver
Crutchfield customer from Hershey, NE on 5/26/2021
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.

Great unit for deck/pool area
Crutchfield customer from Maineville, OH on 4/27/2021
We bought this "open box" receiver as a basic/core unit to support our outside, back deck and pool area with 4 speakers. Couldn't be happier. The packaging and internal item and paperwork were like brand new. Hooking it up was simple. And the functionality is great. Bluetooth works extremely well even through a brick outer wall.
Pros: Bluetooth Setup Ease of Use

Sony quality on a budget
Laurie from TOMS RIVER, NJ on 4/26/2021
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.
Crutchfield customer from Kalaheo, HI on 4/20/2021
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.

Breat Value for the Money
Crutchfield customer from Salem, SC on 4/13/2021
This unit replaced an older Sony that died after many years of reliable service. The look and features are nearly identical, but they added an option to operate in a 3-channel left, center, right configuration that is perfect for my family room set-up. Even at this low price it provides more sound field options than I will ever use, and the audio output is excellent with more than adequate power. Hard to beat for the price.

Great Entry Level 5.1 Receiver
Crutchfield customer from Perryopolis, PA on 2/21/2021
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.

The Sony STR-DH590 is just what I needed to upgrade my TV system to cut the cable! 4 HDMI inputs are great, and I love it! We had DirecTV because there was no cable in our rural area. Now we have high speed internet. Our old receiver was over 40 years old, and we had to upgrade. This was a great choice!

Ok but some odd behavior
Crutchfield customer from Millstone Twp, NJ on 2/21/2021
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.

Excellent Quality Receiver
Crutchfield customer from Menlo Park, CA on 1/23/2021
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
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
Cons: Speaker terminals were really cheap No AM radio

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.

Tradeoffs
Crutchfield customer from Bethel Park, PA on 12/8/2020
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.

Not for everybody
Crutchfield customer from Linthicum Hts, MD on 12/6/2020
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

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

Great value for the money
Crutchfield customer from Oshkosh, WI on 10/15/2020
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:

Best features per dollar
Crutchfield customer from Fayetteville, GA on 10/9/2020
The STR-DH590 is another solid Sony product...good build-quality, not skimpy on features, great value for money. I was most impressed with Crutchfield. Shopping and checkout process was easy. My receiver was shipped quickly and arrived shrink-wrapped in hard, protective plastic indicating Crutchfield is serious about delivering an above-par customer experience. Will def buy from them again.
