The PVNP4CD turntable pairs the classic styling of Edison's original phonograph with today's silicon-based technology. It plays your favorite 45, 33, and 78 RPM records, cassette tapes, and CDs - so you can listen to your music through the full-size brass horn. Plus, you can transfer your wax or cassettes to digital files like MP3, WAV, OGG, or WMA using the USB-jack. Use the free Audacity software to transfer your music to your computer so it can be played back and listened to without quality degradation for years to come. You can even listen to your music on your home stereo using the stereo RCA outputs, or plug in a set of cans using the 3.5mm headphone jack. It's all packed in a beautifully crafted, handmade wood veneer cabinet.

I love it for what it is.
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. ย This is a great replica piece. The look of it is great and the I really enjoy all the functions it offers. Radio stations come in great. On the topic of sounds though, IT SOUNDS TINNY. If you are looking for crisp audio quality, this may not be for you. The sound comes out of the horn and the sides. I wanted the vintage feel and the tinny sound is great to me. The CD player works fine for me, unlike the other reviews, and I use it a lot. Also, the horn isn't gold like in the picture, it still looks nice. More of a bronze and the base is a cherry wood color.Overall I LOVE THIS THING. One of my most precious possessions.

worth the buy, :/!
this sits in my foyer at the front of the house. originally meant to be a conversation piece and for decor, i find it funny that the wife actually uses it to play records while house cleaning and sometimes if i'm tinkering inside, i'll do the same! something about the sound from vinyl... and this grammaphone sounds great! good and loud, perfect for indoor parties. check out the features, as it's pure modern and just LOOKS vintage. even with all the features, we still cant get away from using it from strictly vinyls and gietting that classic sound. The product is great until it decides it wants to suck

I am frustrated with the BAD. Here they are
James is totally correct with "THE BAD". I am copying here as well because he is right. I had the hardest time assembling the horn together because the damn 2 sets of screws weren't lining up. Never did and I bent the horn. I don't know how I'm going to get it to work. It's frustrating. However, the Phonograph does play the records well. And that is what I wanted. Still though, I am frustrated with the BAD. Here they are...and thank you James Webster. I agree with you wholeheartedly. The Bad:1) There were 2 sets of pre-drilled holes for the speaker horn, only one set of which would have resulted in the horn sitting straight and perpendicular to the cabinet once mounted. Align the fitting first and choose which set works.2) The screws used to attach the horn brace to the cabinet at cheap cheap cheap. Twisted the head off of one of them as I assembled it Christmas Eve. There's no excuse for this and my guess is that the factory in China did a switcheroo between the screws that were specified and the screws the factory actually bought.3) The workmanship on the brace piece was pretty awful, a piece of flat, gold-colored aluminum bar bent to approximately the shape it needed to be. I know it sounds like I'm harping on the brace, but it was so poorly done that Pyle should probably look at replacing either the design engineer or the factory that produced it.4) The instruction sheet was essentially unreadable. Tiny diagram, tiny print (like 6-7 point) and clearly Google translated. There's not a huge amount of documentation needed, but what documentation there is should be useable.5) The turntable, tone arm, switches and tone arm lift and switches are cheap. Again, you don't expect a pro-grade turntable when you're making a purchase like this. And for the occasional user, the record player will likely be just fine.I have not tried the USB-to-PC recording. But you should know that it's a somewhat complex process involving your PC and loading a recording application on your computer. I have not run the CD that's included, but it reads simply "Driver" so I don't know if it includes the recording software. And know also that ripping vinyl is not for the faint of heart. This isn't a criticism of the record player, it's just a warning that this record player doesn't have the ease of use and drag-n-drop we've come to expect.

Amazing
Looks beautiful and sounds amazing. No, it's not a speaker system for a loud party, but if you're just hanging out with friends and relaxing, or chilling by yourself, it's perfect. Can't recommend it enough.ETA: For those who are having trouble with records skipping, go old fashioned and put a penny or a quarter on top of the needle. I use a penny for light skipping, a quarter if there's a lot. To stick the coin to the needle head, I use mounting wall putty, like the kind you use to put up posters. You should be able to find it in most grocery stores.

my 33 Vinyls would not play without skipping and the table itself had a horrible wobble. I had to disassemble the face plate ...
Upon receiving the player, my 33 Vinyls would not play without skipping and the table itself had a horrible wobble. I had to disassemble the face plate so that I could access the turntable wiring/harness. I then added a wedge to the plastic frame, and put two screws in the top of the player to tighten the turntable down. After doing this and purchasing a better needle, all of my Vinyls will now play. IF you want to spend extra time fixing this unit, go for it; it is worth the effort. If you want a plug and play, look elsewhere.Apart for the horn being a more Antique Brass, opposed to Bright Brass, the unit was exactly as pictured.

Looks nice, sound is average
This is a modern looking version of an old phonograph, but the sound quality sounds old-fashioned. The horn looks a little more cheap than I thought it would, but overall it fits nicely in our living room. We have a 12x12 room and the sound literally FILLS the room! It definitely comes out of the horn and it is hard to control the level of volume. The install went well and it ended up being a very unique and useful gift--officially got my boyfriend into record collecting now!

Beautiful
I love the vintage look on this item! I had ordered a previous product similar to this one and it arrived defective. I was so disappointed and after talking with an Amazon rep she suggested this one. I was reluctant to order this. I am happy to say that I love it. It is actually better than the other one I ordered and even nicer looking. The horn is not bright gold as it seems to show in the picture. Bonus for me because I was concerned that the gold color would be too much. It is just a regular brass color. The sound is good and everything else seems to work just fine.

Not well made/
The tape player has never worked and the horn seem was broken. I waited way too long to say anything. I should have tried at least to get a replacement. I figured I'd never use the tape player anyway, and I thought I could fix the horn... But the point is for the price, I shouldn't have had to worry about that in the first place. ๐
