The Pyle PD1000A seemed a good idea. Build in the DVD/CD player into the receiver. One would expect Pyle to be innovative given their good reputation in the Pro Audo field. So I ordered one to upgrade my current TEAC Receiver. I could eliminate the DVD/CD player and pick up extra space on the audio rack.Out of the box the PD1000A is impressive to view and comes with a set of rack mount ears. Its weight indicates the heavy power transformer required for the high wattage outputs. The USB/MP3 inputs are a good idea and the bass, treble,volume and input controls were easy to use. I do not see why they included a Karaoke capability with two microphone jacks. The controls for same take up much of the lower part of the front panel and the utility of Karaoke is lost on the avereage audio buff.A major drawback are the blue LEDs that light up behind each control button. So bright are these lights you can't read the labels the panel. They need a dimmer control. As the unit plays, the noise from two built in cooling fans do not add much to the ambiance of the listening room.The DVD/CD player functioned well and the video was crisp and well defined. Where the PD1000A falls down is the major reason most people would buy one-audio quality.The unit received has a terrible hiss of white noise in the audio no matter what input was in use. Turning down the treble did not help, indicating poor output stage design. The overall audio quality was also poor. The bass was thin, even with the control at max and what treble that could be heard above the white nolise was not very brilliant. I wondered why the on line specs did not include the amplifier response. It is listed in the manual at 40 to 15KHz, hardly what would have passed for high fidelity in 1949, much less 2009.The Pyle PD1000A is definitely not suitable for home audio use. Its best application would be in the rack of a commercial AV system or a DJ system.I'm staying with my current system until someone come up with a good audio quality all-in -one DVD/CD receiver. Pyle missed the mark with the PD1000A.

I purchased this item primarily to connect my original Bose speaker system to my TV. I liked the added bonus of the DVD player since mine was very old with lots of problems. As an amplifier, this the Pyle unit worked well. That's the best news I can give.Now for the bad. The disk player never worked. The cooling fans are very noisy and constantly switch on and off. The lights on the front of the unit are a little overwhelming, but I could have lived with that. However, I went online and started the return process the same day I opened the box. I ordered a similar product from another manufactured and am waiting for it to arrive. I have never heard of Pyle Audio before, but am unlikely to try another of their products.There is some great news. This was my first return with Amazon. The process couldn't be easier. Another reason to buy from them.

When I began searching for a new receiver I wanted one that provided ease of use and was multifunctional. For the money this receiver provides multimedia use - DVD, CD, AM/FM, MP3 etc. I find the sound excellent for the price and have experienced no problems playing in any media format. I find the set up easy as is operating any of the functions. If there is a drawback, the bright blue function lights are quite bright and may be a bit distracting. Also the remote was a little cheap and buttons not easily identifiable. In all I am very happy with my purchase.
