Sony STR-DH590 5.2 Channel 4K Ultra HD Home Theatre AV Receiver

We used HDMI ARC connection between the receiver and TV, but cannot hear the sound when playing the TV. When I turn on the TV, connect the source to the receiver, the sound disappeared. Somehow it worked for a few times for a day or two, but now cannot hear the speakers when connecting to TV. the sound works when connecting with my phone via blue tooth.

This is a very nice equipment for I want to use it, specially because it has a bluetooth. Nice reception for FM andeasy to controll it.

This is a really nice receiver for the price. On my last theater receiver I had to manually power off the unit after use. This unit, if you used HDMI cables from all your input components (highly recommend) and to the tv. It will automatically turn the receiver On/Off with the TV. The audio menu is a little clunky to get through but easier through the remote control. The sound quality is really good. I use it to boost the sound of my TV in a large room, but it does so much more. A single button on the remote switches different inputs including Bluetooth sync to your tablet or phone. Still much to learn but happy with it so far.

I give this four stars because it suits my purpose. Those expecting fire-breathing performance and audio levels that can fill an auditorium may want something with a bit more "grunt". Mine is being used for audio on a computer where I do a bit of simple movie-making, audio work, etc. I am far from a pro or avid hobbyist. So, this little receiver is more than enough for my needs. Setup was easy; markings on the back are clear. I give it four stars instead of five because Sony, like every other manufacturer, uses this grey-on-black color scheme making the front panel virtually impossible to read. (see picture)

I ordered this yesterday Thurs 6/24/2021 around 5-6 pm and it arrived around 2 pm today Frid 6/25/2021. Did not pay extra for next day delivery, it was included. Took my time setting everything up. Accessed Easy setup once speakers were connected and receiver was powered on. Went to source HDMI ARC and easily calibrated speakers with the included 'mic.' Chose source TV, then went to YouTube on my PC and played 'American Trilogy," and a word I rarely use came out of my mouth - AWESOME! Beautiful full sound with nice base tones. The receiver I replaced was an almost 30 year old Yamaha that still worked fine but I knew I wasn't getting the full sound that today's technology offers, plus it was silver and stood out behind the glass in my entertainment center. The black is barely visible but for the small power light and source indicator. Everything I wanted and was hoping for this thing is. I highly recommend this unit for anyone looking for a very nice upgrade with similar desires and expectations as I've indicated here. ;-)
