Review on 🎡 300W Stereo Receiver System - AM/FM Quartz Tuner, USB/SD Card MP3 Player & Subwoofer Control, A/B Speaker, iPhone MP3 Input with Karaoke, Cable & Remote - PT270AIU by Nick Ward

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The user interface is cumbersome and not intuitive.

I purchased the unit for use in my hangar. As I opened the box and began configuring, I presented Realized that there were some issues. The user manual didn't contain much useful information and I had to contact Polk Technical Support for help. Pros - * Controls are highlighted and clearly visible * Volume control is smooth and responsive - DB reading is helpful Cons - * AM/FM antenna is not built in and there is no external antenna connector Antenna cable clips are flimsy and the included antennas are awkward to use.* It's impossible to connect an external antenna without getting creative and make something that connects I still haven't been able to figure out how to use an RG6 cable or dual 75-Oh m TV cable connects. Fragile antenna clips are tiny and won't fit larger cables.* No 3.5mm headphone jack or line-out. I need to take the line out signal and connect it to a speaker amplifier to connect the speakers in the hangar, workshop and office. I have no idea what hardware is used in the dock - the manual is silent on either. I'm not sure what the 3.5 connector is connected to and if it's an input or an output. Summary - The radio works but lacks flexibility. I'm disappointed with the performance but not so much that I want to return it. I am going to repurpose it for use in my garage at home. I think you get what you pay for.

Pros
  • 4 STEREO RCA INPUTS: 3 stereo RCA inputs and 1 stereo RCA input for media playback. With SD storage and USB ports, you can also play your favorite media files. It also has 2 1/4" mic inputs and mic volume, tone and echo controls for voice effects.
Cons
  • Upgradable.
