Pyle 200W Home Audio Power Amplifier - Stereo Receiver with AM/FM Tuner - 2 Mic Inputs with Echo - Digital Display - EQ Controls - Remote Control - Ideal for Karaoke & Home Entertainment - PT260A

I bought this Item for use in Afghanistan to power a small amount of music for my littel room hear. I am a soldier hear and will only be hear for a year. I needed somethign cheep that woudl work for what I needed it to. After using this item for a couple months i was surprised how it performed. i hook it up to my laptop via a headfphone jack to rca inputs. Its hooked up to big and small speekers. sounds amazing! The BEST thing about this item, is the two mic inputes. We do not have access to much hear in afgahnistan but we make do the best we can. A friend of mine bought an electric drum set and plugged it in to this and rocked out! it was great! Another buddy plugged in a 3/4 electric guitar and jammed for hours! it was great! I ordered a cheep bass guyitar and plugged that in and play everyday. everythign works great! never over heats and performs like a champ everytime! and even better I can play music from my laptop and play along with it with my bass, the drums, or the guitar, and all the sounds comes out great! i would recomend this unit to anyone looking for an inexpensive reciever that will dp way more than just power some speekers for music.

I bought this receiver to power two in-ground speakers (TIC GS5 minis) for my patio. I went in looking for an inexpensive 2-channel unit, with no frills. This unit delivers. We have had it running for three days, at about 12 hours a day (we were doing a lot of yard work), with absolutely no issues. The speakers are 50 watt each, and this unit delivers plenty of power for them. At the default volume (20 on the dial) the music is at a pleasant volume. Turning it up just a few notches makes the speakers boom! So far, the only drawbacks are the lack of power button on the remote and a substandard instruction booklet. The lack of a power button will be solved by putting the unit on a dedicated circuit with a switch outside, allowing us to flip on the music when we walk out to the patio. Figuring out the rest of the features will be a trial-and-error exercise. Otherwise, I am very pleased with my choice of receiver.

I bought this reciever for my work radio currently it being summer it can get to a 118 degrees inside my work . That being said this thing has been a trooper I use It 8 to 10 hours a day and I have it hooked to a set of sony 8 inch bookshelf speakers. All my coworkers always wondering whear I got it . I have had it for two months now and have only good things to say . If your wanting good sound for a cheap price . It doesent have all the thousands of features that a high end sony has but for a radio that has the features of this one in a sony you would pay twice as much trust me I looked around a lot before getting this one for less than 200 bucks I have an amazing sterio that I got to pair whith the speakers I wanted not what somebody else chose to put in a kit I am verry pleased whith this one buy it.

This is a great deal. I recommend it highly. The only drawbacks are that you don't get an input for a headphone jack (just 2 inputs for microphones). You get an input for CD/DVD and Auxillary and you can also play your IPOD/MPG3 on it, so everything goes. The AM antenna isn't so easy to hook up but the FM works great with your own antenna. Also on my particular unit, the input selector button doesn't always work but the remote does it anyway, so no big deal. Overall, great sound, 200 watts for great money. If they only had such a deal when I was younger and I could get away with blasting my stereo.

Poor reception, even with an added 54" FM antenna 12 feet higher in my attic. AM = ok, FM = marginal, FM stereo = un-listenable. I'm 15 miles from Chicago & FM stereo receprion is poor at best. I tried different speakers, various antennas & placement, various locations of the unit, nothing helped. Other receivers in the same location/speakers/antenna worked just fine. Remote has no on/off button. The inputs (CD, tape) work fine and are plenty loud, so to use as an inexpensive amplifier is OK, just don't plan on listening to any radio stations. I wanted an inexpensive receiver amp for my garage and it cost me many hours of fiddling & frustration. Spend another $20 and get a decent unit.

Understand what you're getting... First of all, the fact that it can power two channels of audio doesn't mean that you can select which one you can play audio out of. You cannot. If you plug in speakers on both channels, it plays on both channels. There is no selectivity. The whole reason I bought this was to play on an indoor set of speakers and occasionally play the same music on an outdoor set of speaker, so the A/B had to be selectable. Unfortunately, this receiver does not work for that. This is why I will be returning it. The advertisement clearly sets it has A and B channels, which in more receivers means that you can select between them... oh, well... Secondly, as reported by others, there is no power control from the remote control. I had planned on putting this receiver out of the way and controlling everything from the remote via a IR extender. Unfortunately, without a power button on the remote, I can't realistically do that. Third, while you can select the programmed radio channels via the remote control, you cannot directly tune via the remote control. For those who already know what channels they want to program, this can be annoying, since the only option is to scan through the spectrum till you find the right channel, then program it. "Irritating" is about the only word for it. The sound is fine, but there are too many detractors for me to recommend it to anyone except for those who need a basic system within arms reach and who have a lot of patience for the irritants.

Just received this Pyle Pro receiver/amp and got to say I'm impressed. First the box it was in look like it had been through a war zone, even the post office put the tape on it received in damaged condition. So got it out looked at it and did not see any damage to the unit, so hook it up and wow it sounds great. Have a set of Kenwood speakers(KL-777A 4 way speakers 110 watts) that flew with me over the pond. They are big made in 1972 pick them up in Guam and brought them back to Barksdale AF Base then to FL. Lighting took out everything else but these speakers. They take a lot to move them, this little Pyle Pro (PT260A) will move them and will make your ears hurt. Can't wait till I get some more wire and hook up the big TV I got to it. You won't go wrong on getting this little unit. Save lots of money and get a great sounding unit. Just have some good big speakers so they will handle the watts.

I bought this to put together a budget home stereo system, that I could also hook up things like my TV and CD/DVD player to. Definitely a solid choice for an entry level system. Though it's not exactly clear in the product information, the rated 200w is total power, not per channel like other receivers are rated for. (You'll see on Amazon ones that say 300 watts (per channel) ). It has two channels, and two L/R speaker terminals for each channel. According to the product information, each channel can handle two 25 watt 8ohm speakers (50w x 2 channels), or a single 50w 8ohm on each channel. It was a little bit confusing, but that's coming from an amateur. I wouldn't recommend using 4 ohm speakers. One reviewer mentioned it would overheat, but also, in the manual, it does say normal impedance (for the device) is 8 ohms. The 200watt rating is a marketing trick I'm sure; 100watts per channel, x2 channels, @ 4 ohm. But it clearly says normal is 8 ohm. Maybe I misunderstand. Other reviews mention how hard it is to set the radio memory. It is actually not all the difficult (and no, it's nowhere in the product "manual"). Figured it out on accident. You have to first press menu twice, while in radio mode, and then you can use the main dial as the radio tuner (or use the tuner button on the remote). Once at the desired station, press memory, and then press channel up. You can hit channel down to verify your station was saved. Speaking of radio, I found it quite difficult to actually get stations in. Maybe I've got it setup wrong, but, at 93.7, I pick up background noise music from 103.7. And I can hear 93.7 from 95.5 all the way to 88.5, playing in the background. I've tried repositioning the antenna but it doesn't help. Something wrong with the tuner internally, I think. Does anyone else get this? Maybe it's because it's a saved channel, I don't know. Still odd and makes the radio almost useless. Which is okay, I can get radio through other devices and input. Someone mentioned the dancing bars don't line up to the music- it seems to work fine on mine. When you change the display (via remote or menu/big wheel) it goes through the cycle, I guess to show you what it is. But after it flows to the music. Overall very satisfied, does exactly what I need; deliver stereo sound. Minus one star for the radio tuner.

Perfect

Satisfecho con este amplificador, exacto a lo q buscaba y lo que mas me agrado es que tiene 4 canales. Le conecte 4 bocinas yamaha y aunq se reparten los watts suenan mejor que cualquier minicomponente. 100% recomendable.
