Pyle5-Channel Rack Mount Bluetooth Receiver & Home Theater Amp - 200W Speaker Amplifier with MP3/USB/SD/AUX/FM - Digital ID3 LCD Display - Wireless Streaming - Built-In Microphone Input - PDA7BU

(second review)For the price, this amazing product is well worth the purchase. I like Pyle. I used a 5-disk changer for years; when it went out, I got this receiver to play songs in a continuous fashion. With the remote, a person can keep mp3 files in folders and change from folder to folder, leaving a single folder or all songs on repeat, and the remote has a pause button that works well. 'If' you are into singing with songs, especially with someone else, it may be a lot of fun for you.I never used the mic inputs, and the mp3 playback abilities took me a few days to figure, yet it worked great. I am into audio and song recording and usually will leave a folder of new tracks on repeat to consider what may be best to do with them or future experimental tracks. The bluetooth does connect well and there are other inputs, as seen in the product description. I did not take the time to register the item the first time I bought it six months ago and 'mistakingly' wired a four-speaker circuit that burned out a resistor and a capacitor within the receiver. My mistake and I do not recommend someone opening the enclosure without at least an intermediate knowledge of electronics - capacitors that store over 24 volts are potentially lethal and a life risk should not be taken lightly.That being said, the receiver worked so well during its first time around that I ordered the same product and am joyous that it was still available. If it had a record to mp3 function I would consider the PDA7BU even more impossible to surpass with what I could find on the market, especially with the dual mic inputs that have an echo knob. I also recommend the Dual speakers that are usually showed at the bottom of the Amazon product page along with the banana plugs and thick-gauge speaker wire. It is fun to assemble - the larger of the two options of the dual speakers present a deep boom totally worth the money, even when turned down low. I did not opt for the subwoofer and was not tempted too; if you get the Dual speakers, notice the 'label' on the front can be adjusted to vertical or horizontal, they can be laid on a shelf or mounted well in otherwise fashion. I totally appreciate a product with that much ability for its cost and simplicity. Do not let it frustrate that the flashdrive will only play mp3s from a drive and is not a 'decoder,' if the term is close. As in, if you have a pedometer that plays mp3s and can communicate with a usb cable the receiver will not play mp3s by selection of the songs from a player.The inputs can receive audio as described in the product description - it worked fine with a 5-disk changer input into female rca ports. If you plan to hook up more than two speakers with it, which I really see no point in, be sure to contact Pyle and confirm the manner of installation before hand for safety and durability reasons. It is a sleek receiver, thin and able to be mounted in a sturdy fashion with the metal brackets that come with the device. There are many receivers; I chose this one twice. :) Thank you to Pyle, and get one if you can to else. The one drawback, short not being able to record or having a headphone/aux out is the bright display not being able to be dimmed. Do not look at it for long amounts of time within under six feet or so - there is nothing wrong with using 'matte' tape (the 'dull, not see-through-shiny-Christmas-wrapping-tape-yet-still-see-through-and-common-tape') on the front of the led screen (as one can do with a common led bulb) to have a less detrimental display.There is also nothing wrong with painting a spot on the top of the remote with white-out and putting a piece of tape on top of it in order to see the orientation of the remote quickly within dim lighting (worked well for me). If you purchase this product, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did; I had to make do without it for a few weeks. With one flash drive, I can select from at least 500 songs; there is not much of a reason to get a flash drive with more than 8 or 16 gigs. I recommend ScanDisk flash drives Only; Do not format the flash drive if you opt for that route. Over all, the PDA7BU is my favorite home audio receiver.(first review)Shopping to replace a 5-disk changer took me months. I found a 3-disk changer and it went out in 40 days, so I got a 5-disk that was the changer only (no speakers). Of course, I would also need an amp and speakers, so I shopped on Amazon extensively for a good deal on a good one and found what I was looking for. It is great for hooking up a CD player, Bluetooth, and rca in/TV; I use it mostly for playing mp3s. It does well to play from a flash drive with mp3s in folders and can be left on repeat.For the price, I simply cannot complain and wonder if anything else could have compared. The speakers I got with it hit hard enough,(Dual Electronics: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00081NX5U/)even though I keep it turned down.The remote has pause, volume, and other controls for radio and mp3.This is an awesome product and I have appreciated its abilities.Thank you Pyle and Amazon.

Exceptional little piece of kit at a very reasonable price. I bought this for my shop running a pair of Klipsche Tangent speakers. Woke the speakers right up and sound blissful. Surprisingly, sublime sound quality from this little amp. Bluetooths is awesome sounding through this device and easy as pie to make use of. Love that it does not auto-intrude and take over your bluetoooth either Just go to your media output, select the device done. Easy. I run a denon turntable on this device with an orphoton cart and it sound just splendid as well. Really, pyle just became a brand im gonna watch for. Likely will buy an upscale version for the home as well.

Overall, the product does what I want from it, which is to serve as a rackmount amplifier for music and movies in my office separate from my main studio monitors. Overall, it functions completely adequately for the price, and the sound is very good with my existing bookshelf speakers and subwoofer. The remote is ok, but not all buttons appear to have a use (e.g., the red button does not actually power down the unit, which has a hard switch on the front). Nonetheless, it does give you a volume override to the main knob, and the ability to cycle through radio stations and switch modes to bluetooth. I don't really use the remote, but I'm generally sitting at arm's reach from the unit.I have two main quibbles: 1) the lack of an optical input. Given that many products these days no longer bother to include RCA outs, this a potentially huge inconvenience. 2) the subwoofer volume is totally independent, rather than set as a relative setting to main volume. This means that you must always adjust two volumes. This is especially annoying because of the lack of a quick override mute feature, which would at least give a quick cut of all sound. Instead, I roll down the main volume when I get a phone call and then just have loud rumbling. I'll get used to this and can live with it, but my last amplifier rolled SW along with main volume, which makes more sense, since I also have a volume control on the subwoofer itself.Neither of these issues is annoying enough for me to return this, and I haven't found another rackmount product that serves my purpose. I definitely value the space saved over finding something that doesn't have those two issues, and getting something for under $100 was a definite bargain. I haven't tried using the SD or USB inputs, which are not particularly useful for me. Nor have I tried the microphone inputs, which are not particularly necessary for me, but may be nice for some individuals that want an karaoke setup on the cheap.One other note: the included FM antenna is just a thin wire. It was totally acceptable, but for under $10 you can add a much better antenna and get far superior sound. I really wasn't looking for an FM tuner when I was searching for this product, but it's actually been a nice additional benefit in my office to use, so I'm pleased with that feature.
