 great cd radio player December 17, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've only had this player for a week now, so forgive me if I have yet to detect any problems.
First of all, unlike other folks out there, I've not experience any cd skipping while driving or parked. I've also been able to get my U3 memory stick to play music with it. Interestingly enough I plugged my Ipod nano into it(was curious) and was able to play BBC podcast 'Digital Planet' and some other tech shows on it. I was pleasantly surprised about that one. I did not check deep into navigating the Ipod via the radio to see how easy that was.
As for the other 'features' I haven't really messed with them much either, because I was just looking for a basic radio cd player but the usb feature caught my attention. Figured I could hold more music on a 2gig stick than carrying aroung multiple cds in the car or having to bother buying any cd changer.
So I'm happy with it and I hope this review was helpful to somebody......or yeah make sure your stick is in a FAT32 format. Both usb memory sticks I tried were configured that way.
Ok six months later review is as follows: USB no longer works and had to open the set to retrieve a cd. Apparently one of the spindles broke and it was not allowing me to eject, while at the same time forcing me to reset the radio to have it work. Highly annoyed at that (broken CD spindle)since I rearly used the cd. I definatelty wouldn't recommend this product again. Well, unless it was for your mother inlaw or something.LOL
 a little overpriced for its features and quality January 27, 2007

Got this unit because this was the one of the few with an USB port. I figured with the convenience of USB flash memory it might just be the best way to store, transport and play music than any other digital media out there. The USB port works as specified provided it is formatted as FAT and not as NTFS. However the type of formatting is not specified in the manual.
Secondly, the AM/FM tuner does not resolve frequencies toward the start of the FM frequency band(~87-90MHz) in both Local/DX modes.
Pros:
USB port(for USB flash drives formatted as FAT).
Has dual channel line in/line out and S-audio ports though it is seldom used.
Easy install.
Cons:
Mediocre sound quality.
Dim display hardly visible in daylight.
 This product needs some work January 15, 2007
This product looks good and has basic features. It is a good deck for people who do not require a lot. The usb port does not work it will not read the mp3 file. The main reason I bought this product was for its usb port.I think I made a bad buy.
Mixed Feelings March 23, 2006
I recently purchased this car stereo and have been 99.99% happy with the product. The fact that it accepts USB flash memory is fantastic, and a great way to keep your music selection in the car fresh, without having to burn a new cd every time you want new music. The only thing is the USB stick format - it must be FAT32 to get the full capacity of the stick (I use a 1gb Sandisk stick), and to work in the stereo. The only .01% that makes me not 100% appreciate the stereo is the random function - it tends to repeat the same songs in the same sequence every time you turn it on to the USB setting. It's almost better just to play them straight in order and only put one song from each group on the stick instead of dealing with the poor randomizer. I did the install myself which wasn't too difficult, and it works great!
[EDIT]
about four months after installing the unit, the USB reader stopped working - I have contacted Pyle three times for an RMA, but haven't gotten an answer. How Frustrating!
 Wish I kept the receipt! February 16, 2006
Replaced an old Blaupunkt cassette unit with this one mainly because of the USB function. On paper this unit sounds outstanding - MP3 with ID3 tag display, USB input, 200 watts, etc... Unfortunately I have not had much luck in getting the usb port to read any mp3 files from any flash media (have tried 5 different brands now). Of note is that it does recognize the usb media being connected but is unable to recognize the MP3 files on it. Also, the CD mechanism is by far and away the worst I have ever seen - It will skip just sitting in the driveway, not even driving! Completely unsat for a car audio system. Next time I am going to stick with a major brand and spend the extra money.
The only good thing to say is that is seems to have good sound quality so if you listen to the radio all the time this unit would be alright.
