Amazon is offering the Sony 5.2-Channel 4K HDR A/V Receiver (STRDH590) for $178 shipped. Matched at Walmart and Target. That’s $100 off the going rate found at retailers like BuyDig and is a match for the lowest price we have tracked. This 5.2-channel A/V receiver supports 4K HDR pass-through and Dolby Vision. Wireless audio can be streamed easily thanks to built-in support for Bluetooth. Ports along the back include HDMI, optical audio, RCA, and more. Rated 4/5 stars.
If this is your first A/V receiver, it’s unlikely that you’ll have speaker wire lying around. Luckily 100-feet of Amazon’s in-house Speaker Wire is $13, providing enough for many home theater sizes. Rated 4.7/5 stars by more than 3,600 Amazon shoppers.
If an A/V receiver seems like overkill for your space, have a look at the deal we spotted on TaoTronics’ 2.1-Ch. Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer. It’s at an all-time low and should offer a nice upgrade from what standard TV speakers offer.
Sony 5.2-Ch. 4K HDR A/V Receiver features:
- AUTO CALIBRATION: Advanced D.C.A.C. analyzes and adjusts the audio for optimal sound in any room
- VIRTUAL FRONT SURROUND: S-Force PRO delivers virtual surround sound with only a 2 speaker setup
- 4K PASS THROUGH: 4K HDR compatible with HDCP 2.2 support for sharper source to screen image quality
- SMART CONNECTIVITY: Stream music and use Bluetooth Standby to turn on the receiver from your phone
