Pyle 400W Stereo Amplifier Receiver - BT Home Audio Amplifier with USB/SD Readers, FM Radio, 3.5mm Aux, Phono, Optical & Coaxial Inputs, LED Display, Mic Inputs, Built-in 2 in 1 HDMI Switch

I like this receiver for its simplicity of use and compact size. It makes a good receiver and amplifier for my son’s bedroom audio setup. He had a couple speakers and a bass to connect and this is able to power the speakers for him. He has a powered sub paired with it as well. There is HDMI connectivity but he likes the ease of bluetooth. He uses the music apps on his phone most of the time. He also has an old cd player of mine connected to the audio inputs. The setup works well for him and sounds good. The amp isn’t overly big, just a good size for a bookshelf setup. There are lots of other options for use, like for karaoke. He just uses for listening for now. The price was reasonable and performance is good.

I really wanted to like this receiver. It looked great, sounded good and liked the Bluetooth connection.But I bought this for my home theater and it failed. The optical audio connection drops the signal on low sounds.I tried this with two separate units connected to two different TV sources. Even tried multiple optical cables. Sound kept dropping in and out on quiet scenes. Tried an optical to rca convertor, but then the sound would only go up or down on the unit, no remote control.Then I tried the HDMI route. Unfortunatly to get any signal to the tv, the Pyle receiver needs to be on. There is no pass through. Reciever off-no signal. But, I had sound, even low sounds this time.But, when I went to a 4k signal, the Pyle unit wasn't passing through the siganl at 4k. So good sound, ok picture.So, I boxed this up a second time and returned it.

I am not an audiophile but have some experience with home sound entertainment systems. I purchased this receiver on Amazon for less than $200 last month and am pleasantly surprised by it. It has 5 channels, two active subwoofer connections, one passive subwoofer connection, 200W per channel, a good FM radio receiver, Bluetooth capability, USB port for playing music files, and more. I have an older, 5.1 stereo receiver, purchased over ten years ago, that costs three times as much but doesn't have some of the features of this receiver. BUT, my older receiver still works well and sounds good; I hope this Pyle receiver lasts as long.I am using this Pyle receiver in another room with the lowest priced, fully automatic turntable that I could purchase on Amazon, a $30 dvd/cd rom player, and some old Energy speakers, so my wife can play her old Reader's Digest collections of records and our old music CDs. The sound quality is great and if one of the components in the system stops working, it can be easily and cheaply replaced; unlike the all-in-one music centers that can do ten things, none of it well, and not for very long.

The receiver works like it should. The very bright blue display panel and volume knob are distracting. There is no mention of what the Equalizer settings E1 through E6 are.

I never write reviews, but I had to with this one. I am an audiophile and have very high end equipment inside my home (Marantz, Klipsch, etc.).I needed an inexpensive receiver to power four outdoor speakers and a sub on my covered patio outside... and man, did this little bad boy do the trick! My friends and I always use to tease and call Pyle brands "a Pyle of junk," but I could not be more impressed with the power and ease of use with this unit. If you want an inexpensive head unit that is easy to use and has a ton of power, do yourself a favor and just get it!

When I received the unit the remote did not work. I contacted pyle customer support this is their response:"Since your unit is less than 30 days from the date it was purchased, you can always go through the return process of Amazon for a faster shipping turnaround time.In case you need further assistance, let me know.Also, you can always open a new ticket by clicking this link:Contact UsWe'll get back to you via email within 24 hours.Thank you and have a great day!"They never contacted me back.I contacted amazon they did a exchange with return. Before I returned original unit the replacement arrived. That unit would not even turn on. I tried the remote on the original unit and it worked. So I sent back the second unit that would not turn on along with remote from the original unit that didnt work. DO NOT BUY !!! They have no quality control at all or customer support.

One of my fav features of this home audio amplifier is its Bluetooth connectivity for seamless wireless streaming from any compatible device. This feature opens up a world of possibilities, making it easy to play music from your phone, tablet, or laptop. With just a tap of a button, you can connect to the receiver and enjoy your favorite tunes or podcasts with crystal clear sound quality.It comes with built in USB and SD card readers, allowing you to play music directly from these devices. It also has FM radio capabilities (for when ya wanna rock it old school lol), giving you have access to a wide range of radio channels. And for those who prefer a more traditional approach, the receiver also has 3.5mm aux, phono, optical, and coaxial inputs, giving you the freedom to connect your music players in whichever way you prefer.

Would not connect with my equipment
