Pyle 1000W Bluetooth Home Theater Receiver - 5.2 Channel Surround Sound Stereo Amplifier System with 4K Ultra HD, 3D Video & Blu-Ray Video Pass-Through Supports, HDMI/MP3/USB/AM/FM Radio - Pyle, Black

The Pyle 1000W Bluetooth Home Theater Receiver - 5.2 Channel Surround Sound Stereo Amplifier System with 4K Ultra HD, 3D Video & Blu-Ray Video Pass-Through Supports, HDMI/MP3/USB/AM/FM Radio, was easy to set up and works Great. i have 6 wall-mounted speakers - Acoustic Audio by Goldwood AA351B 2 Way High Performance Indoor Outdoor 500W Speakers with Powerful Bass and one large subwoofer - Rockville Rock Shaker 8 Black, 8" Powered Subwoofer, 400W, Deep Bass, Class-D Amp, RCA/Speaker Inputs, for Home Theater & Studio attached to the receiver. The system is set up in my 50'x32' workshop, speakers mounted at four corners and the center wall of the workshop. Great sound distribution from the receiver and speakers,

Straight out of the box, I did not like this receiver.First of all, it is incredibly noisy at all times, even when "powered off" via the remote. There is some sort of fan that is operating at all times, so it's just loud always. When you power off with the remote, there is a flashing red light that is incredibly bright/obnoxious unless you push the button to power it off.Then, if you push the button to power it off, you have to push the button to power it back on (remote won't work when it's manually turned off). While you're at it, if you have a powered subwoofer connected, you'd better make sure you shut that off before you manually power it off because that sucker will scare the bejabbers out of you with some weird power-down blast noise that cannot be good for the subwoofer. I have done this more times than I want to admit.Another thing that was maddening is that the "minimum volume" on this thing is way too loud. So, having some music on in the background while having a conversation is over, now.There doesn't appear to be enough power or signal for the receiver to play audio from a digital antenna on the TV, which is also incredibly disappointing. I even bought an adapter for my coaxial cable (from the digital antenna) to try to connect it directly to the receiver, but that did nothing (and there was no interface to make that work). So, if we watch TV via digital antenna (connected via HDMI to the receiver), we have to listen to audio through the TV. Lame.Now, after about 20 days of operation, a horrible static noise has started, which I have seen people mention in reviews. I was hoping it was just a fluke, but they are correct. It's not a connection issue: I have checked. I could almost abide the rest of the obnoxiousness, but that was the final dealbreaker.10/10 would not recommend this receiver.

The sound quality and sound adjustability are fantastic but unfortunately the optical plug does not work. When plugged in it's intense repetitive barepetitive base. I've unwired and rewired everything. Even bought new optical wire. It still doesn't work. The bypass so that you can operate your TV without the stereo only works if the stereo is still on. Very loud fans to keep the system cool so I imagine it overheats pretty easily. You have to have your music up pretty loud to cover up the sound of the fans. I would highly recommend shopping for something else

Nice

I thought I was getting a good deal for the cost. It only lasted 3 months before sending crackle and static noises through my front left and center speakers. After trying different cords and speakers I realized it was the tuner. And even before this the fan of the tuner was louder than some quiet parts of the movies. A real disappointment.

The media could not be loaded. I was very happy with this reciever, now it is a piece of crap. Thought I was the only one who was having issues. I just looked again and others are having the same issue as I am., static, speakers and it only has gotten worse. I am determined to get this fix since it does have a 1 year warranty. We will see how far this gets me and and I will repost if I get it fixed at no charge. ( Original review) great receiver. Has the 5.2 speakers. Sounds great, remote is great as well. Takes a little to get use to. Bluetooth works great . Not a novice, but I am not sure what you could want more of. SOUNDS GREAT!!!! PYLE has been around for years. Orginally made speakersI only have one complaint, when in standby mode the light on the front panel flashes. Kinda of annoying

Absurdly bright power LED. Absurdly busy and bright display. No button to turn the display OFF. This is under my TV and needs to be blocked by cardboard to keep it from distracting from the screen. Note I have placed two layers of blue tape over the red power LED and that has helped, but that still leaves the constantly dancing screen, always screaming "look at me! Aren't I NEAT?"As you can see from the picture, this device does not need to be nearly as deep as it is. inches could have been cut off it. It currently protrudes from my TV cabinet, which is utterly unnecessary.You can also see from the picture that the heatsink in it is poorly oriented (hot air rises) and the fan is poorly placed, as are the ventilation holes (not shown) in the overall cover.Let's go back to that fan. You buy a stereo to listen to amplified inputs not to a FAN. A stereo should not have a fan. The heatsink and air flow should be designed so air naturally moves up through the heatsink and air flows up through the heatsink and exits. This system is absurdly badly designed in that respect, and thus resorts to a fan. But the fan they put in it is small, fast, loud, and crappy. The one in mine now makes a rattling vibration noise, above an beyond the overly fast movement of air in the box (air which just gets hot in the box and doesn't have good escape flow).Note also that there's no heat sensor, so the fan is always on.This thing is a complete fail. Based on this, I recommend you avoid not just this stereo but the Pyle brand entirely. The brand is 62 years old, per Wikipedia, but this box looks like an amateur job by a new company.By the way, the front says 'PyleUSA.com' -- the back says "MADE IN CHINA".
