Pyle 5.2 Channel Hi-Fi Home Theater Receiver - 1000W MAX Wireless BT Surround Sound Stereo Amplifier System with 4k Ultra HD Support, MP3/USB/DAC, Ideal for Immersive Home Audio Experience - PT865BT

I don’t know much about electronics or technology, but I know enough that I want whatever I am using to not only offer me the absolute best experience I am looking for and it MUST have a quality of ease that will allow anyone to use it with no issues. I enjoy my movies and music and working from my laptop and using it for entertainment when not using it for work. It must be a completely immersive experience and this is. It offers me everything I want. It makes watching a movie or TV show feel more like involved with what’s going on on the screen rather than just watching it. I almost feel as if the sound is wrapping around me and every object in the room and melding with my life in those moments giving me that extra thrill of excitement and an ease of use comfort that makes me feel like I’m using the best quality audio equipment with an entertainment extra giving me the feeling of having not spent a lot of money, yet getting the best product.

Have literally used this 5 times, the buttons are already broke (the volume control feels like it will fall off any day). The back of the receiver to hard wire in the speakers (outdoor speakers) have already went bad. The FM receiver doesn’t work well with the antenna they provide. Also, presets for FM are a joke… can’t change them. This is only a PYLE of junk. Very frustrating.

First - I have an entry- to mid-level set of 5.1 Polk Audio speakers that may have cost near $300. These are legit speakers - not part of a $299 home theater kit - but they are still not high-end speakers. And this receiver is an entry-level receiver, so the whole system together cost me under $500. That said, the sound is REALLY good. I watched Top Gun Maverick and Man of Steel on it, and the sound was awesome. The sound was pumped to the receiver via an optical cable from a very basic TLC 4k TV; I think the sound would've been comparable via the HDMI interface. I have a more expensive JVC receiver + Infinity speakers combo upstairs, and those speakers sound more crisp. Don't know how to explain it other than that. But this receiver and the Polk Audio speakers sound great. Most wouldn't notice a difference unless they listened to them side by side. Only one thing - this receiver only has bass and treble; it does not have an equalizer.

This Home Theater Receiver is powerful and has transformed our tv viewing room into a movie theatre - the experience at home has become much more enjoyable getting the same movie theatre quality but in the comfort of my home. It’s quite powerful - it has 1000 watts and is super easy to connect to Bluetooth. We use it to connect to our speakers to provide a surround sound effect. It is user friendly and easy to set up.

It is a good system, sound quality is good. Remote works great and everything works as planned it just doesn't have enough sound loudness compared to my Onkyo receiver that quit working. I have this system in my mancave in the garage so need a little more than a standard TV Room. It is plenty good for most the time but when have a big group over it just doesn't quite boom the sound I want.

I was putting together an outdoor setup for movie watching and sports and bought this receiver to power my speakers. It is a good setup for my needs, not being overly complicated. It is quick to set up and take down as needed when we host people for tailgates, etc. I have it powering some outdoor speakers. I store this indoors and just bring it out when needed. I can connect this to my projector via HDMI. The sound is good and much more immersive experience over the single projector speaker.

I am already having issues with my wireless remote control

This isn't really a knock on the receiver as my Harman Kardon it replaced had the same issue. I run it through a pair of Sansui 2501 front speakers, a pair of Boston acoustic rear surround speakers, and an old center channel speaker from a 1990s era Phillips home theater in a box. I have an old car subwoofer but it is unpowered. Am I missing it on much without a subwoofer to justify buying an amplified subwoofer
