Product Information

Any extended warranties offered by Peter Tyson are free. We do not include any form of insurance terms such as accidental damage or loan equipment cover. Stereo receivers are very easy to come by as it turns out. So easy to come by that I had to sift through results to figure out which would connect to my old Panasonic speakers as well as to my middle-of-the-line record player. And I didn’t want the price to stop me from making rent. Consider a ‘hot’ symbol on the top of the amplifier. And there is a reason for this. This thing gets very warm even at the least output. It is important to be careful when it gets toasty. Sony specs the STR-DH190 for 6 ohms speaker load or higher. They have done this to pass UL certification with respect to the heat generated. This change of mind return policy is in addition to, and does not affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law including any rights you may have in respect of faulty items. Can automatically turn on receiver when Blu-Ray player powers on, but cannot turn on receiver when AppleTV powers on.

Physical media seems the obvious solution here. Buy CDs or vinyl. (Yes, their production contributes to climate change, but some say streaming media has the same — if not higher — carbon footprint than physical media.) Subwoofer line output: This feature makes it much easier for you to add more bass by connecting a powered subwoofer to your system—an appealing idea, considering that some of these amps aren’t powerful enough to produce much deep bass. In most cases, this is a full-range output, which means your speakers still get the same amount of bass if you connect a subwoofer, and that can cause smaller speakers to distort the sound. However, a couple of amps we tested incorporate a crossover that can filter the bass out of the main speakers for lower distortion and smoother, more even bass response. My system consists of this amplifier plugged into a pair of Wharfedale Diamond 220s, Sony PS-LX310BT turntable, Hiby R5 digital audio player, Audiocast M5, and a Polk PSW10 subwoofer. It works with all of them perfectly.I did not like the volume button because it feels very stiff. Unless you have to, it would be best to just leave it and use the remote control. Can you cheat and go with four-ohm speakers if you already have them? We would never recommend that you do, of course. But if you must, then just be cautious with levels. I bought this Marantz amp with the matching Marantz CD player. I am running 2x 100wpc Pro Sound speakers and a massive Q Acoustics twin cone subwoofer. The sound through the amp from my Acoustic Solutions turntable and the CD player is AWESOME. I have the set up in my summerhouse down at the bottom of the garden and at anything approaching half volume it feels like I am rattling the nails out of my roof shingles - exactly what I wanted! I do like a bassy sound to my music.

When you start up the receiver it presents a kind of basic user menu across the screen of your TV. This can overlay whatever video signal is being throughput, even UHD HDR BT.2020 stuff, and it can be invoked at any time with the ‘Home’ key. The four options are ‘Watch’, which lets you choose one of the four HDMI inputs, ‘Listen’, which lets you choose from Bluetooth, the FM tuner (there is no AM tuner) and SA/CD analogue or digital, ‘Easy Setup’ which invokes a settings wizard, the inappropriately-named ‘Sound Effect’, and ‘Speaker Settings’ which allows manual adjustments to speaker settings. Despite its relatively low price point, the stereo receiver has an incredibly clean output. The speakers I’m using are basically bottom-of-the-barrel; the fact that this receiver can make them sound dynamic and lush verges on miraculous. There’s even a setting called “pure effect” that shuts down all necessary lights on the stereo to provide a clearer listening experience. This device is not only for analog functions. It comes with Bluetooth connectivity that lets you stream music wirelessly. Connect this any music service, podcast, or Bluetooth-enabled device, and you can enjoy remote functionality. With this feature, the Sony STRDH190 comes as a wonderful alternative to some of its predecessors.When Dolby & DTS encoded sound streams are detected**, automatically upscales to drive all channels including height. Enjoy the subtlest nuances of studio-quality sound in higher-than-CD quality with High-Resolution Audio. Passion for music unites every component from signal to speaker, so it feels like the artist is performing right in front of you.

You can easily switch between A or B or use both together to run outdoor speakers or set them up in a different room from the same amp. Having a great stereo sound doesn’t have to cost you a ton of cash. The Sony STRDH 190 is a solid stereo receiver with great features for music. It is also easy to set up, plus its slim design makes it a good option for people with limited space. And despite its modest price, the STRDH 190 is loaded with tons of features that you would expect from a high-end model.Further, much of the networking stuff may be duplicated in your TV — especially given that Sony’s own models (such as our award-winning KD65-A1 OLED) favour the Android interface which is absolutely born to network. We didn’t have the A1 to hand, but for Netflix I used the Netflix app on an LG OLED TV and had it deliver the sound to the Sony receiver via the HDMI cable using the Audio Return Channel. This arrangement worked almost as seamlessly. We reserve the right to refuse installation should our engineers think that the existing electrical or plumbing points are unsafe and in need of maintenance or if they are unable to install to existing furniture.

One thing you can be sure of is the analog inputs on the STR-DH 190 stereo receiver. These are speakers you can easily connect to. Then just simply turn your receiver on and have it paired smartphone or tablet. Sony stereo receivers with bluetooth has everything a beginner audiophile will need. With bluetooth standby you can turn on your bluetooth stereo your portable device. You can also use the included phono input to hook up a turntable and experience optimal performance. The unit is compatible with both Sony PS-LX300USB and PS-HX500 turntables. And the stereo receiver’s general heft is actually a strong selling point for me, too. I appreciate its sturdiness in a world so reliant on an ever-changing internet landscape. In 10 or 15 years, when Spotify has gone bankrupt or Apple faces a huge lawsuit that ends up deleting all your MP3s, I’ll still have my stereo receiver. I only notice slight warmth on the top of the receiver, then again, in a modestly sized living room, I rarely have the need to crank the volume level up high. In the early hours, I might have it around 5-7, during the day, 10-20. Any higher than that, and I think my neighbours might start complaining! It can do up to 77 if I remember rightly.Lowing our lofty standards good bit, the Sony STR-DH190 seems to be a good amplifier. It looks nice, has remote, multiple inputs, phono, etc. and produces a lot of power. It is certainly much better than a lot of Internet specials when it comes to amplifiers. What you pay for it gets you headphone amplifier and that is it. The value is therefore remarkable. The STR-DH190 brings together your vinyl and digital music. The perfect match for any turntable, you can switch effortlessly between analogue and digital with simple BLUETOOTH® connectivity and connect to all your equipment. From the box, you will find a muscled-up Sony STRDH190 constructed for long-term use. Just like other amps, the Sony STRDH190 is a rectangular box containing an amplifier, a preamp, and a phono stage, among other products. With the phono preamp and sound input, it can produce plenty of power when connected to the turntable. Rigid parts hold the heat sink in place, reducing transmitted vibration from speaker sound pressure. Our Installation Service only includes connecting to existing points and fixings. This does not include installing or moving plumbing, connection points or electrics. Installing new points or moving existing points is the customer’s responsibility we can recommend local tradesmen however this will be at the customer’s expense and we not accept any liability for their work.
