Affordable Marine Audio With MP3/WMA Versatility

Play Back Your CDs

Enjoy your favorite CDs, complete with random mode, track preview, and other standard CD player features. If your music collection's on a hard drive rather than a shelf, you can also burn your favorite MP3/WMA files to a CD-R, for hours of music form a single disc. The PLCD3MR will display ID3 tag information, such as artist/track info.

You can also dial in the sound with preset equalization settings, and a loudness feature for increasing bass output at lower levels.

Front-panel USB port, SD/MMC memory card slot, and auxiliary input for several listening options.

Includes full-function remote.

Front Panel USB Port

It seems like everyone has a few USB thumb drives sitting around these days. In addition to the CD-R option, the PLCD3MR features a front-panel USB port. Load up a thumb drive with your MP3/WMA favorites, and play them back directly.

SD/MMC Interface

One more option--for an even more portable format, swap in SD/MMC cards with your audio files.

AM/FM Radio

Sometimes you want some live programming, even if it's just to check up on weather or the latest news. The PLCD3MR features an AM/FM tuner with the ability to store 18 FM and 12 AM stations for instant access. In a new locale? Run the "Auto Best Station Memory" feature to place the stations with the strongest signals in memory.

4 x 40 Watts Power

The PLCD3MR delivers 4 x 40 watts output, and also features a single preamp output for growing your system.

Auxiliary Input

Last but not least, a standard 3.5mm auxiliary input lets you connect your iPod or other MP3 player to enjoy through the PLCD3MR.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than expected, May 3, 2010

This review is from: PYLE PLCD3MR AM/FM-MPX In-Dash Marine CD/MP3 Player/USB and SD Card Function (Electronics)

I was looking for a replacement unit for my 1996 Bayliner boat. The factory unit stopped working and needed to be upgraded anyway. I was going to buy the "mechless" version of this unit, but decided to spend the extra few dollars to have the CD player as well.
The radio has good reception using the built in antenna on the boat. No static or fading. Works as expected.

I used a couple of different SD cards to test it. I filled up a 2GB and a 1GB card, both formatted to FAT32. Popped them in and hit the shuffle button. No issues, both played just fine. One card I set up with directories and was able to skip from one directory to another.

CD Player worked fine, although I will probably never use it.

Sound was better than expected in a boat at normal volume. Although when volume was high, it did get a lot of distortion. That may possibly be the fault of the speakers as they are 14 years old and have been exposed to the elements. I will be installing new speakers soon and will update this review if it sounds any better.

*UPDATE*
Added new speakers. Sounds much better. The old speakers were shot. Volume on this unit is still not great, but in a boat it is more than enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars All I need in a car stereo, October 16, 2010

This review is from: PYLE PLCD3MR AM/FM-MPX In-Dash Marine CD/MP3 Player/USB and SD Card Function (Electronics)

The term "marine" was not explained well on site. It means white, permanent undetachable face plate. Other than that, it fits perfectly into a standard in dash mount for your car. I replaced another after market CD player and wire configuration was identical. So pushing the same wires back into the same tight spot was the only real challenge. No holes to cut.

The 160 watts are more than adequate power. But the ability to handle SD Flash chips and USB and CD is extremely handy.

This is the 2nd Pyle in dash unit I have owned. The other car died before the Pyle did.
