Pyle 5-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.

Works great. I am able to use this hub to play music between my living room, kitchen, garage, and outside all from this one box. Plays the radio as well as Bluetooth. Good quality of sound and fits great in the closet being small. The volume is easy to adjust with a dial and remote.

Make no mistake ,this is not high end audio equipment. but neither should it be compared to such. This is ridiculously inexpensive and when mounted in a rack, you can't tell the difference between it and a Denon from a distance. I got mine to drive a set of Cambridge sound works 5.1 speakers, I wanted to have the amp sitting in a rackmount rather than the one sitting on my desktop, keeping the wire mess all confined to behind the rack mount. It has served its purpose nicely and looks good while doing it, but for such a low price there are compromises as would be expected which will be a deal breaker for some but keep in mind this on costs about 10 to 20% of what a similar high end piece of audio equipment would cost. It looks great but you can feel once turning the controls that it is mass produced in some sweatshop with low QC. I use the 5.1 system primarily for gaming or listening to rock and roll loud, which this accomplishes. It comes at the price of an annoying hum when there is a period of silence, so when listening to game audio or rock music this not an issue as it is unnoticeable but for everyday computer audio like listening to you tube videos or any audio where there are silent intervals, there is EMF interference or something causing the hum, ferrites on the cables has not corrected the issue so it is either an internal shielding issue or just poorly designed internals. For me it is not a problem for with a flip of a switch I can go to internal monitor speakers which don't have that issue, but if you want to run all your audio full time through your speakers connected to the Pyle, this is a problem. In summary it does what I needed it to do and looks good while doing it for a paltry $80. Question is do you need a KIA or a Lexus?

Price is right for features. I paired with Klipsch bookshelf speakers and sounds amazing. There are much smaller amplifiers with higher wattage which are BT only. But I needed something which can accept dvd player hence got this one. Can be used as Karaoke as well. I wish it had was a little smaller.
