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 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.

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.

Don't waste your time or money. We purchased 2 of these less than a year apart. The unit has no durability. The radio portion failed on both units, no longer having output volume. A real piece of junk. Out of warranty. Never again. It really is a Pyle.....

Easy set up. Nice sound. Remote doesn’t work. Inconvenient but not enough to return so I will work around it

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.

I've had this receiver for about a year. Some reviews dissatisfied because it has no a/b switch. I was disappointed myself. I suggest that you wire a dpst light switch to fire and kill the b channel. Works great for me, but you will have no control over the a channel. Easy. The sound quality for my purpose is excellent. I'm not very particular about that though. New models may have addressed that ab thing
