I was even able to simultaneously pair my iPhone and headphones with the receiver. There are volume indicators and backlit that gives the retro feel.It has modern tech conveniences and awesome sound.This is a great unit and I’m glad I waited to make my purchase and I recommended this unit to anyone that wants a retro feel, modern tech conveniences and awesome sound for an awesome price.And from my livingroom with the radio garden application, I can listen to radio around the world and it sounds awesome.

..to my home theater. Although the manual power button is a drag, I leave it pushed in and plug this into a smart wifi power strip like the rest of my home theater equipment so I can turn it all on by voice, one at a time or the whole system. Tip: get a smart power strip you can name each outlet so it is easier to remember by name & not by outlet number.I love that even though it produces a lot of power, it doesn't draw a lot of AC watts. I have real time stats on AC loads through my battery backup. I can only crank it up to 25% now as I only have 200 watt speakers on it & don't want to ruin them. I am building 4 - 750's ( RMS ) for it now. So approx. 100 ac watts load @ 25% volume.I saw that another review stated the sub out didn't work for them. Try adding "powered subs".The remote background is dark and the lettering is too. I scanned the remote into my PC then edited the image to lightened it up, then printed it onto a vinyl sheet, cut out the buttons and stuck in over the original.I read that others had cut out issues using Bluetooth, both of mine work great with no interruptions, Samsung 4.2 and Windows Bluetooth Suite.This has a phenomenal cooling system as I hear it when a song ends. The fan runs till the load is lower and it cycles down. It is not loud at all but noticeable when sounds are done.I have 4 cats & only the 2 black males love this sound. They both come and lay on the floor when I turn it up ( not loud ). I think it is the deep bass they love.BTW support for this has been great. I only had a question and it was answered promptly and thoroughly. Thank you Louie

The Bluetooth finally connected, though the instructions weren't very helpful. You press input until the USB socket lights up. Then press and hold the MODE button while your phone (or whatever) is searching for "PYLE". On an earlier phone, a password code was required but with a newer phone that requirement seems to have disappeared. Also the USB input doesn't work like I hoped for a USB DVD player. It only is for a flash drive. The description could be clearer on that. Plenty of power to drive all the speakers really loud throughout the house. The remote button labels are abysmal. Unreadable with grey lettering on a dark blue background. Who thought that was a good idea????? Some of the display abbreviations are unintelligable. The sub base driver is excellent. So, in all, it works well if you take the time to figure things out.

We purchased to augment a garage speaker system. The unit has several odd things only found after the return period. 1) Equalizer is not anything but a random set of lights. Can’t change frequencies volumes and the display is just random up and down of lights. Useless & Annoying. 2) Bluetooth has no auto reconnect if you power off unit. Set it in Bluetooth mode, power off, come back and turn on and it requires you to hit the source button three times to re enable BT mode. Waste of time. 3). Poor BT distance. It only works about 20 feet, so it you carry your phone with you, it cuts out beyond 20 feet. 4) high pitch squeal in BT mode with nothing attached and no source. 5) Chinese accent voice prompts are annoying. Hard to understand and not needed. A simple bop or bebop for connect and disconnect is normal. Instead you are treated to broken English voice. 6) very bright display of useless information. The LED button only turns off the obnoxious blue LEDs but the dancing display continues like a demo mode. Once you get through most of these issues, it does sound OK on good speakers, but in retrospect I should have spent more for something without all the issues. Not recommended.

Great item

Nice system, crisp and easy to set up with blue tooth

Works extremely well. Powers a Skar SV-R D4 8” 800 watt & Phillips SVT-X 8” 350 Watt (These are discontinued sadly is only a passive now) there is a small passive in the rear 4in passive. Receives a massive 1200 watt boost from a 1200 watt Power Bass amp. Has been maxed out multiple times and no burning or power issues. AV Sound Connections are great provide Chrystal clear audio to my Logitech z337 better than my old 800watt Pyle glad I’m going to more pro equipment. P.s. this sub takes up to 2000 watts but only for a short time. (Don’t wanna blow anything lol) and for the sub hum just use a pre audio filter (30-120$ depends on what you want I use a 120 watt Sony because it dosnt need to provide power just clear audio) it is from you main connection source not the receiver.
