Pyle 4-Piece Bluetooth Stereo System - Mini Hi-Fi Bookshelf Stereo System with USB Recording, FM Radio and Remote Control, DVD/CD Compatibility, Perfect Stereo Shelf Systems for Home, 1000W

Very easy to set up! Quality is good, better than I expected! Well protected box for shipping, no damage when it arrived.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Solid name.

I liked it, had good sound. But when i opened the box after delivered my remote was cracked and did not work. Unfortunately, I was not able to get the same one replaced. So I return the whole stereo system and asked for a refund so I can purchase another stereo, with a working remote, which i need.

I was replacing my JVC $15 receiver that I got from a thrift store. It was a 310W system, with switchable 4-8 ohms. Multiple speaker outputs. But no remote. And no hum.I work from home now, and so this won't work. I was being cheap. I had the thought that I could go cheap and watch it would be the same. Like getting gold-plated network cables. Remember "Monster cables"? But, this failed.So many issues:1) The hum. I'll search for ground issues, but the JVC was fine, never any noise. It is three-prong, and the house was set up with green wires connected. A lot of computer equipment, though, so may be the issue.2) The volume increments are too large. I prefer to tweak the volume more.3) The mute button makes a metallic solenoid click. Just disconcerting to hear something mechanical.4) The lights are silly. There's no equalizer, so they're just an in-store marketing trick.5) The power on makes a massive pop. That kills it right there.6) Every stereo I've had was reasonably good looking. From the old faux wood ones, to the black metallic. I never gave it a thought. This is literally ugly.Having the knobs was nice, and the simple dial set up and switching. My JVC control panel requires a PhD to use, so I never did get it to work correctly. This at least puts a knob for the sub woofer, and I don't have to "jog" through nested menus to change it. The dual input mic is unusual, and the mic eq controls on the front seem irregular. But there is a customer for that out there.So the hum and the power button make it unusable. I'll search ebay again for a remote for my JVC. And I won't return it since it costs $40 to return. Not really worth it, and the joy of drop testing it will not be avoided.Minor point: My Dad taught me that good electronics are heavy, cheap crap is light. This is light. The JVC is the same size but weighs a literal metric ton. Or nearly.I will never buy Pyle again. First try, but I need to go back to the expensive brands that at least have some claim to historical quality.

I recently purchased the PT 270 AIU to have an outdoor stereo around our pool. I was interested to have many formats to play music from so this receiver was attractive. I generally play music from an ipod, MP3,or USB, but my wife was adamant that it have FM as she likes to listen to NPR or talk radio while reading her Kindle. After checking pawn shops for older low budget receivers, I thought this unit would have all of the options we wanted built in, for an awesome price, and it does.First off, many of the comments on here are spot on, and should be noted. Such as; mysteriously an on/off switch has been left off the remote, the input does revert to DVD each time you turn it on, as well as the volume is turned low (a benefit). The dancing lights although pleasant, give the impression it is an equalizer, which it isn't. Our fan is quiet, and I hope it stays that way, but I keep it in a suncast plastic outdoor cabinet, and you can't hear it. Manual is completely devoid of instructions, but who reads those anyway. The FM antenna is not worth using, and I suspect this is why many say the receiver does not work. Just take some extra speaker wire and hook it up and you will have a better one than supplied with the unit.Let me put some of the bad comments that I read in the review to rest. First everything on my unit works. Ipod, MP3, USB, FM, AM, Volume, Treble, Bass, Microphone, Remote, AM antenna, all switches, etc... I do not have a low level buzz or hum as many have claimed. I assume they have either a poor connection with their speakers, or some other electrical issue such as a poor ground. The ipod dock and built in retractable audio cord for an mp3 player work fine, make sure your players volume is turned up as that does effect volume levels!. However, the receiver does not automatically "find" your devices if plugged in, you must use the input switch and change it to the ipod/usb device. This is normal for a receiver (it's not a plug and play computer). The receiver is "defaulted" to be used as a home theater - with the DVD set as the "default" input at each start up. The station search does work on the receiver, as do the station pre-sets (and they do hold their memory), but you do have to figure out how to use them, as the manual gives no real instructions. The search function literally found all of the stations my car can, without static, radio works well and pulls a good signal. Volume with 4 Dual outdoor speakers is plenty loud for our deck. All in all, I am surprisingly happy with the purchase, and as long as it keeps running would highly recommend/purchase this product.
