Pyle PDA77BU Bluetooth Stereo Receiver

Great product BUT if you want full stereo sound, here's the trick to wiring your speakers correctly!

This receiver produces great sound BUT it defaults to producing monochrome audio on each channel. And the manual makes no mention of it at all. In order to produce true stereo output, the speakers need to be wired in what may seem like a funky configuration, but it DOES work. I stumbled upon a review for a similar product (the Donner Bluetooth 5.0 Stereo Audio Amplifier Receiver), and the user was having the same problem as I was, ie, no stereo output, but through trial and error he was able to figure out the proper wiring configuration to produce stereo. Turns out the back panel of the Pyle looks EXACTLY like that of the Donner, and I was able to wire things up as provided here in the pic to produce full left/right channel stereo sound. I hope this review and pic saves someone as much frustration and hair-pulling as the Donner reviewer saved me!

Cheap way to return tunes back to the garage

Cheap way to return tunes back to the garage. I was going to grab something cheap off facespace marketplace, but for a little extra dough I got: brand new, USB, & Bluetooth. I like it for what it is, but don't hate it for what it isn't. You get very basic control of the unit, as far as radio channels are concerned, with both the remote & unit controls. Overall I am satisfied with the purchase, it has plenty of power to drive a pair of older Cerwin Vega bookshelf speakers & a cheap monoprice 10" sub.

You get what you pay for. Don’t waste the time or money.

Not 800 watts, has a weird humming sound coming through the speakers, the Bluetooth range is about 5-10 feet at best. The fm antenna didn’t work. All round a horrible piece of equipment. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised considering the price and the brand.

Great product

Was easy to set up lots of sound adjustability and a remote that lets you do it all from a far was packaged well and sounds amazing

Not worth it… it will break after the return window

I’m on my fourth amp.

Each time they last about 6-12 months.

They all go bad and stop working in the same way. , all of a sudden you hear a buzz… there’s no fixing it, all channels stop working.

However, I think I’m finally done with this unit and pick something better. After 4 of them, I’m ready for one that lasts. .

Remote control broke

The remote control it broke

Perfect

Product looks great. Easy to set up. Sound quality on all functions perfect. Output control is excellent. Very awesome for the price. Running 4 of the same speakers and can still add 4 more speakers 😀

So far its not bad for about half price but i havnt plugged it in yet.

Used,Like new in original packaging just missing remote and owners manual and has a dent on bottom.

Love how it sounds no complain

No complain love how it sounds with the speakers Sonance MAG6R - 6-1/2.

Works great

Works great and was delivered quickly. It’s just what I needed. Good value

Amp for garage sound

For no more that what this costs, the sound is impressive. Right out of the box, it’s a sturdy piece of equipment. This puts out a nice, crisp, sound. I use for speakers in my garage and it handles it with no problem. Bluetooth was quick connectivity. All kinds of music.

The size it fit perfectly on the glass shelf. The quality of the sound

The sound is amazing, and I used it for my outdoor bar area, for the price it is great

Terrible Quality Control - Okay Product

Got a brand new unit in box - product still had marks as seen in the photos. Programming was not done properly. They spelled "Dvd" and "Aux" wrong as seen in pictures. The sound is decent but at the 120 dollar price point i expected a little more quality. Don't recommend at all. I returned it.

Does the job!

Great for my garage - I have 2 zones outside and 2 in my garage! Daughter loves it too!!

Not 800 watts

The amplifier itself isn't too bad, especially for the price. My main problem is that it advertises as 800 watts. But it's not 800 watts. It's not even possible. It's 500 watts max output according to the box & manual. Customer service wasn't any help. But hey, if you start to get static or buzz feedback try this simple solution that worked for me. Turn the volume down via the remote. Turn the volume up via your phone or whatever component you're using. Drop the bass!

So far so good, no complaints

My old stereo receiver died on me, needed something quick so decided to same day this receiver, it works perfect. I have a 15 inch subwoofer with an amp that my old receiver did not like. Powered the amp with a PC power supply, used the red and white cables, connected to the output of this receiver to the amp, works flawlessly

Just 30W RMS

The RMS power for 4 speakers is 30W at 8 Ohm.

The amplifier is stereo, splits each channel into 2 (so two channels are left and two channels are right), and then each channel has connections for 2 speakers (so you could power 8 speakers total).

The total power is 800W at 4 Ohm.

None of this is mentioned in the description, which just says 500W.

Great receiver with power.

This receiver is great. Power wise is absolutely good. It powers 5 of our speakers . The bluetooth capability is awesome too and range is also great. It does gives you connection and it won't drop at all. I'm really satisfied with this receiver. I currently had tried a 500 watts but it wasn't enough for us.

Much better than expected

Great unit for such a compact size. Using it for 5 sets of ceiling speakers throughout my home,, Working perfectly so far. Plenty of power for what I need and being able to adjust each zone was a must. I also really like the blue illumination. Clean lines and easy to navigate. For the money, well worth it.

Pretty good unit. Works for the most part. (Here's an uploaded video)

So I wanted a 4 channel cuz I have 4 speakers. So I am only using 2 channel. Using C and D channel if that matters. But it plays music pretty good. But there's one dislike I have on the unit. When I play certain songs it doesn't pick up all the frequencies. But songs that don't hit that frequency are fine. But it's the most odd thing. No matter what I do I can't get the frequency to come in. But overall not a bad unit so far. Will make updates if I have to.

UPDATE: So I did discover that unhooking from the c and d channels and putting them on the a and b all of the frequencies were there. So thats all I did. Shame the c and d channels are like that.

UPDATE#2 (And last) so upon even further inspection, I found out that a,b,c,d outputs are actually right and left. So a,b is left and c,d are right. 🤦‍♂️ so turns out this unit should get a 5 star 👍 this is totally Operator error. Wish they'd tell yeah but oh well i got it now and for anyone else that wants to know this.

High Quality Amp - WITH PROOF!

I needed an amp that had at least 4 channels with Banana Plugs and this fit the bill.

I'm an audiophile and I have an SMD Distortion Detector which I use to set the Gain/Volume on all my amps.

Clean sound with no distortion (not just clipping!)

I'm completely blown away. As you can see in the pictures with a 1khz test tone, I set the Channel Volume and "Music Volume" (Which is Master Volume) all the way to MAX and there is ZERO DISTORTION. (Source Volume was maxed out too)

At 40hz I did get distortion at MAX Channel Volume and 2/3rds 'Master' Volume... but this is irrelevant and I'll explain why. This thing puts out SO much power that I don't go past 1/2 'master volume' of fear of blowing my speakers XD

But ANOTHER unexpected very nice bonus is the CLEAN audio RCA pass through. I use it to connect my Subwoofer Amplifier and since it's connected to a new amp I also tuned it with my DD-1.

I was able to set the gain WAY higher than my old amp with CLEAN signal. I'm getting WAY more bass than I did with my old amp. I never even thought some amps could output 'dirty' pass through signals like that.

There's only 2 negatives I can think of.

The amp has more 'white noise' with the volume up and nothing playing compared to my old amp.

The goofy looking 'Karaoke BT Amplifier' sticker on an otherwise cool looking amp. I may end up removing it.
