Great audio quality and LOUD!
It booms, the display is bright and clear, a lil TOO bright in my opinion, if you’re using it for a optical stereo amp for you TV, cause sadly that seems to be a standard on most TVs. It has a lighted ring around the volume display that stays on 24/7 unless you manually turn the power switch off, which is awesome, thumbs up to engineering design team for actually putting a nice, very clicky power switch ON THE FRONT! wish more brands would do this. Definitely rated for it’s wattage with plenty of deep bass, and high high’s , and smooth clean potentiometers for everything. Now the remote control was kinda of a last minute add on, or upgrade to product already in use and just added on, or that’s at least what it seems like to me. The volume knob on the unit doesn’t work the way most do which are like infinite turning knobs, this is a regular old school potentiometer from 0 to 10, with stops on each side, so you kinda of have to set your volume knob on the unit like 1/4 to 1/2 way, then use the remote to set the level after that, but you don’t get the full volume, because the knob isn’t all the way up, but if you turn the knob all the way, the amp turns on at full blast every time, with the start up chime, also you can hear the hum noise from the amp being turned up too far. And the remote is not very user friendly , the volume and mute are right in the middle with no way to “feel” where the important buttons are, so you pretty much have to use a light and look down every time, and precisely put your finger in between the small identical squares. Besides the remote control, it’s a great unit!

Most reasonable Optical-to-Speaker option on Amazon
I don’t know why so few reasonably-priced receivers on Amazon support optical signals but this one did and the price was tolerable since my output power needs were pretty reasonable (4x 4ohm speakers in a 800sqft gym). Please note that it only supports PCM audio on the optical so ensure that your TV can output that. My Samsung TV required changing from “auto” to “PCM” on the optical output to make usable signal.Gripes: IR sent from remote or from a FireTV Cube is a little slow so don’t hit the button too fast. When it power cycles the mode resets back to bluetooth every time and you can’t change that which is a mild issue when my area gets lots of power flickers and I wanted to mount this away from living space. Can only step through the various modes vs having a button and IR signal that says “go to optical”.For the price, finish, size, and power I’m fine with the annoying points and would buy again since the rest of the market doesn’t meet my needs.

Buen producto
Su funcionamiento es bueno, buena potencia… Pero llegó golpeado, por un descuido en el manejo. Espero siga funcionando bien, si no haré uso de la gargantia

good for the price
I ordered from Amazon and received the PDA4BU promptly. I hooked it up and it is working. I spent a while getting the Bluetooth to pair with my desktop computer but I think the problem was mostly with the computer. Once up and running it sounds nice and clean. My bluetooth usb chip that transmits from the computer is about 10 ft. from the bluetooth antenna on the back of the PDA4BU.In my 15 X 25 ft Living room it fills the room with sound-I can play it really loud but mostly just wanted a bluetooth receiver with optical input and a small size. It measures 10.25″ wide 10″ deep and 3.25″ high.The remote is not much use.The FM radio is hard to use since it doesn’t have a knob to tune it. In fact it is almost impossible to use the radio.The instruction book is very basic and doesn’t explain much at all. I did try the optical input and it worked great. I have not try the many other inputs. The speaker terminals are screw terminals for bare wire leads but may also work with banana connectors.The 4 rubber feet strangely don’t make the unit sit flat it rocks on the shelf.For the price I still feel good about it. I hope to figure out a better radio antenna- although the port on the back is unusual and it comes with a wire that is 30″. long but can’t tune in much at all.It is not a replacement for my big receiver but the bluetooth updates my stereo system.Update 1: The remote – it won’t turn on receiver if switch on front of receiver is off. It will adjust the volume but only up to the volume on the volume knob of the receiver. It does work in bluetooth mode (for me at least) to switch to the next song.Registration- It seems to complete the registration for the 1 year warranty you have to post a review of the product- which I’ve never seen a company do before. You have to prove that you wrote a review either a screen shot or a URL to the review. I don’t like that- but it does add 3 months to the warranty. I could find a way to avoid the requirement.I am enjoying the receiver I have left it running in bluetooth mode for 8 hours and it worked just fine. I built my desktop computer about 7 years ago so it didn’t have any bluetooth built in I use a usb bluetooth driver (about the size of a nickel) on an extension cable above the computer.The volume- is probably tied to the size/ quality of your speakers. I just built my passive bookshelf speakers which is why I got this item in the first place. I am happy so far.

Works
Love it for the most part does what I need it to do but somethings don’t work with like my amazon stick plays a scramble fax machine sound. Not sure why guess it can’t convert the signal correctly. But other than that it works great for why I got it. Mostly the Bluetooth with my music for my older style speakers.

Hi Infidelity – Baby
Great mini receiver for the cost.Generous on the input side – strong on the output side.A 7.2 channel she’s not, but that is the job of the Sony !If she has the legs she’ll be worth every nickel – Inflation.

excellent amplifier
Pyle PDA4BU amplifierJust got it.Pros:Loud enough for it’s power specification.Lot of features (input, output, turntable, individual control for mic, …)Good sound quality.Easy pair Bluetooth.Cons:Volume control with click step up or down, so far one of the click step increase volume range a bit too much (not that smooth).Good quality amplifier which almost can compete with my tube amp. I have to see how long it can last.

Probando equipo
Varía mucho la calidad del producto como lo presentan a como que te llega, además estoy buscando información, por que aun no puedo conectar una Smart TV con cable optico , selecciono la opción en ambos equipos y no se escucha nada en los parlantes qué conecte al amplificador
