Ward Am Fm Stereo Receiver Cassette Tape Deck

I use it to connect my tape deck to the stereo receiver.

The FM receiver is great, the AM is very good.... just not alot of stations to test it anymore. Great sound quality,and simple design with real walnut. Bluetooth works great, speaker sounds better than would have expected for the small size. The outputs are nice for recording broadcasts.

I use the Pyle PT-659DU dual stereo cassette deck to digitize my self made cassette tapes which are quite old. I bought this unit because my old deck was exactly that. It was over 30 years old and B&H was recommended by an radio station engineer. The things I like about are the dual deck. I do not like the buttons on the unit as they seem to be cheaply put together. All in all, I greatly appreciate this product.

There aren't many Stereo Cassette Decks to choose from anymore - and this one is (in my opinion) the best one currently out there...it looks and sounds just as good as the old time ones that you can only buy on used auction sites and from "refurbisers"- but that's a BIG gamble - they usually don't work - and this one certainly does. This is actually very similar to (almost exactly like) Tascams' (long discontinued) 202 Mark III - only with a USB port in the back It's a dual well deck - which I normally don't like - but this one has some good features - such as parallel recording (2 tapes at one time from one source) and tape to tape dubbing - both pretty handy for people who produce their own cassette tapes of music, voice, and/or other sounds. As someone who enjoys analog music and also the 1/8" cassette tape format I am really glad to see this deck return - I hope Tascam will re-release some of their single well "super pro" models some day.

I live in a hilly area where FM is sketchy and only few stations come trough, but AM radio rules. Radio is great, and both AM and FM antennas work well. Interestingly, Yamaha seems to be the only one on the market with FM. On the amplifier side it works with an older JVC tape deck, but if I want to listen to vinyl, an additional preamp is needed on the way to the receiver, receiver's amplifier alone won't work. Once preamp is in place all sounds fine. The Bluetooth is the receive mode to play from the devices. This is not a send mode Bluetooth to Bluetooth speakers, as some users assume.

I use this receiver for AM/FM radio, CD, and IPod. It is simple, and does the job very well. AB speakers, either or all. Great price. all in all I'm very happy with this unit.

This uncomplicated Stereo Receiver does exactly what I bought it for; recording from old cassette tapes, vinyl, and CDs onto my laptop. From there, I can burn consolidated CDs or transfer to my smartphone or tablet. Discriminating audio buffs might wish for more tone control, but I really appreciate the simplicity of operation. Great FM too, even in our poor reception area.

I bought this about a month ago to replace a 34 year old (!) Sony Stereo receiver. The old one had AM-FM receiver capability. This one only has FM Receiver built-in, but it sounds a lot cleaner than the older model. This one has fewer output jacks than my older one, but is more than adequate for my setup (Sony Stereo Cassette Deck - going on 20 years now also !), and a bluetooth Audio-Technica Record Player. This model also contains the regular size headphone jack AND a standard audio output jack on the front for older style cassette players, walkman's, etc. Very unusual feature but useful for me as I still use some of that older gear from time to time. I primarily bought and use this product for its bluetooth capability which works excellently. I have my phone, and computer able to play music to it through bluetooth. I realize bluetooth specs don't carry the full frequency range for a lot of audio musical pieces (such as classical music), but for the everyday average pop music it's just fine. This is a great entry level unit for a person who is not an audio-phile. I also bought this because of Sony durability in its products. This thing is built like a brick. Good design accents, solid metal frame, heavy duty components. I will always buy Sony products - good balance between cost, design, and functionality. Couldn't be happier with this product.

This stereo receiver checks off all the features we need. The first selling points were the Bluetooth and FM receiver and the ability to connect to the room's built-in speakers in a small compact unit. It is a perfect size.

I was happy myself to buy a radio and FM/AM Clock Radio.
