Pyle 7.1-Channel Hi-Fi Bluetooth Stereo Amplifier - 2000 Watt AV Home Theater Speaker Subwoofer Surround Sound Receiver w/ Radio, USB, RCA, HDMI, MIC IN, Supports 4K HD TV's, 3D - Pyle PT796BT

Really great for the price. Puts out plenty of power to the speakers. Sounds great. Downsides are that it's loud, and I don't mean the volume I mean the fans inside... As loud as my air cooled gaming tower maybe even a bit louder. There is also no dedicated buttons for input select on either the unit or the remote, you have to cycle through them. Probably "better" receivers out there, but for the price I paid ($180ish with tax on a sale) it can't be beat. Definitely recommend.

A late addition to my review.It is not a good product - the HDMI connections were static-filled and inconsistent from the beginning, and it began to really malfunction after the return window was over - for me, the return window ended on 9 November and today, 11 November, the components are not connecting at all. The cable box and DVD HDMI connections (HDMI 1 and 3) work, but the computer connection (HDMI 2) does not work - no sound at all. And I did change the HDMI cable, to no avail. The fan on this unit is incredibly loud - I have to turn it off completely when turning the TV and cable box

The cooling fan is a bit loud but inside the cabinet it's okay. Excellent sound from the HDMI(TV). I added a 15" subwoofer(Amazon) and get thundering bass from movies. The Surround sound is amazing. I can't use the remote because it is a line of sight (IR) device and the amp is not in the same room as the speakers. Wish they had an RF remote! I added a separate graphic equalizer for my bluetooth music that works great. Overall, I am very pleased with the system. I hope it is durable and long lasting.

The manual provided with the unit is all but useless. No hook-up advice and no operating instructions.I spent half a day wiring and rewiring the speakers and still couldn't get them all to work with my iPod. Called the service number and got a never ending merry-go-round of messages, it did quickly state a web address. I went to the site I thought I heard and got an independent stereo store 2500 miles away. They were very helpful. I tried one of my retired CDs and it powered the surround mode just fine. Half a day wasted. I'm still stumbling into how to work it. (The Surround Sound folks say I

This stereo receiver works great for my home sound system. Connecting my speakers, TV, and record player were a piece of cake, although the directions could be a little more thorough. It even has bluetooth capability, which is awesome. The sound is clear and crisp and bright. All the functions are easy to figure out. It's a good price, and I appreciate how I could choose a payment plan. It is on the larger side, but Very pleased.

Trying to replace a dead Pyle PDA7BU with better speaker connects (prefer banana) and add 3 channels. Shopped really in depth within my budget. Some reviews had this as loud....they are RIGHT!! The fans are just really annoying if you're within 20 feet. I'm connecting to my PC for my office sound system and am about 4 feet away. Also, trying to connect the PC digital to the PYLE is very tricky and cumbersome. Am about ready to return this and re-shop!Not sure if this is the correct way to add to my review, but here goes. I was excited about getting the PT796BT. It was to replace a PYLE PDA7BU

Update to the original update!DO NOT BUY THIS UNIT! The name should be your first clue, it is nothing but a PYLE(pile)!Bought this on Nov 27th of 2020, one week before the one year warranty was up (November 20th 2021), the pile stopped producing sound of any kind. After hassling with the customer service rep, who barely had a comprehension of the English language, I finally got ahold of the company directly, and they instructed me to return to the unit to them (at my expense of$35.00 for shipping) and they replaced the faulty motherboard. I then found out that once the unit was repaired, I had

The receiver does not have an actual surround sound decoding module of any kind. Using the term 7.1 is diabolically misleading; as this unit is not an actual surround sound-enabled system, all channels will literally just play the same thing through all the speakers, just 7 times. Front left, front right, center, and surround speakers, all just playing the same thing. I’m not even sure if it’s playing in stereo, it sounds like it might be mono. NOT how any home theater speaker systems are intended to function, in case you weren’t aware. Without the actual module for the surround sound programm
