WVMusicLover's Reviews
This Sony STRDH130 stereo receiver features an AM/FM radio with 60 station presets, so you can easily find and enjoy your favorite radio programming. Speaker A/B switching helps simplify operation.

My 33 year old receiver finally went South - only one channel would work and the sound was poor. Purchased this Sony after online research.
This is an excellent unit for the price.
FM reception: I live in the hills of WV and can now receive previously unknown stations. I was at first concerned that the chincy FM antennae (3 foot wire with a coax connector on one end) would not work given my rural location. I should not have worried; worked just fine.
Sound: Very good, even with my 38 year old speakers!
Controls: A bit confusing at first. The instruction manual needs to be more verbose. But after playing around with the remote, I was able to understand how to set & modify all features.
CD player: Connecting my CD/DVD player was a snap.Sound is great for my any of my CDs.
Display: I wish I could make it brighter. It can be dimmed but it is not bright enough at its brightest. I wear glasses so when moving a few feet away, I cannot read the display. But this is a minor complaint.
