The Pyle PT504 AM/ FM Digital Tuner w/ Alarm Clock is a great way to add an AM/FM tuner to your home audio or video system. It's only 1.6 inches high and its black aluminum case will blend right in with your other equipment. It looks and works equally well on the shelf or mounted in a standard 19 inch equipment rack with its included rack ears.
The PT054's microprocessor brain makes operation easy and its vacuum fluorescent display makes it easy to see what you're doing.
Among the functions of the wireless remote are setting on and off times so you can fall asleep and wakeup to music (or talk) from any station within range, including any of the 60 available station presets.
The PT504 has RCA L/R outputs to connect it to your existing amplifier, from which you can control its volume.

I use FM tuners in retail stores that want background music. Tuners used for this purpose must be very simple to operate and be able to run 24/7 without any interaction whatsoever. This unit does just that. I have bought other (more complex and expensive) units in the past and this model is much simpler and cost effective. I gave it four stars because it's very lightweight and feels cheap. It functions perfectly though..

Generic AM/FM rack mount radio
Cheap housing, Rack ears barely hold the weight of the radio. resulting in the radio sagging in the rack. Manual does not describe how to use the radio. Overall usage is difficult.

I own an audio/video instalation, service, and sales business. My customer's 70 volt am/fm audio system fell victim to a lightning storm so I replaced the amplifier and added this am/fm tuner. This tuner is digital, comes with a remote, and picks up stations very well. I would buy this component again if I am need of a non-amplified (passive) am/fm tuner.

The tuner portion went out on our home stereo. This was a cheap and effective fix. Tons of presets, about twice as many as the previous.
Totally easy to make selections, clear visible menu and format.

Don't let the cost intimidate you....it's worth the price for sure. The alarm clock and remote work awesome. No problems with the tuner at all. The cost is cheap but it doesn't feel cheap made to me, i say it's just a great deal period.

Comments about Pyle Pro PT504 AM/ FM Digital Tuner w/ Alarm Clock:
Can't complain, for the price.
It's simple and it weighs next to nothing.
We just used it in a portable production rack for a large outdoor downtown event which was synchronized to a local radio station for a countdown and it tuned in the FM station solidly and cleanly.
You know when it is plugged into power because the rack unit itself emits a "beep".(Why?)
I have yet to figure out how to set even one of the 60 presets available.
The blue lights that back-light the face control buttons are blinding overkill, to say the least.
The manual is mostly useless because of the very poor translation into English.
There is very little in the manual anyway. It does not tell you how to use the station presets but that is not really an issue for us since we really only need one station per event.
I attached the plastic holder for the included oval antenna to a piece of wood as a base so that it sits on top of the rack when in use. I also doubled and tinned the antenna leads because the wire is miniscule and fragile.
Bottom line,...........it works fine and we may buy another one for a second system. It beats lugging around a home receiver/amp.!

Using the tuner for a room that is approximately 2000 square feet. Very easy to install, and thus far have had no problems.
