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.
I bought this to replace a 20 year old Yamaha receiver that finally lost it's display. I did not need nor want a surround sound receiver, this fit the bill nicely. The Sony has clean design and is built well. I was surprised to find it has discrete output transistors, most receivers in this class use a single chip IC. It has plenty of power, does not strain on any music. No distortion either. The receiver has a nice, flat even sound. It is not overly brilliant or dull. A good set of speakers (which need to be able to take the 90 watts per channel) are all that is needed for CLEAN and FULL SPECTRUM sound without overly accentuated bass or shrill midrange.
The FM tuner has great sensitivity, and the 1/8" line in is great for connecting a computer, I-Pad or anything without using up an input. The remote will operate other Sony branded components but is not programmable for other manufacturers. No big deal, at this price point I don't expect a high end remote. It has 5 inputs but no phono pre-amp, so if you plan on using a turntable, you must use your own pre-amp or use a turntable with a built-in pre-amp.
Sony also gives a 2 year parts and labor warranty on the unit. Pretty impressive for a low cost receiver. Overall, I am pleased with this receiver. It does a superb job and is built to last. For the price paid, it packs quite a bit of performance and quality.
