I think a combination of these two sites is probably the best bet for a beginner.
http://www.stpinyin.com/pinyin/pinyin.htm
Start from Pinyin: Alphabet of Pinyin (with .wav audio)
http://treehouse.ofb.net/go/zh-cn/ma.../pronunciation
Mandarin Chinese Pronunciation Guide (no audio)

These following sites are also helpful, but no single one is ideal for the beginner.
http://www.courses.fas.harvard.edu/~pinyin/#intro
Chinese pronunciation guide from Harvard's Chinese program (potentially good, but maybe
technologically a little out of date as I had trouble getting the RealAudio working).

http://weber.ucsd.edu/~dkjordan/chin/pinyin1.html
Guide to Pronouncing Mandarin in Romanized Transcription (audio provided).

http://www.csulb.edu/~txie/pcr/sound...rotopinyin.htm
A Brief Introduction to Romanized spelling system of Chinese - Pinyin (.wav audio).

http://chinese.rutgers.edu/class_con...ass1/intro.htm
Rutger University's Multi-Media Chinese Teaching System: Chinese Pronunciation (no audio for the
pinyin guide, but audio is provided for other online lessons).

http://www.pinyinpractice.com/tones.htm
This site is good for practicing your pinyin.

http://www.sinosplice.com/lang/pronunciation/
Pronunciation of Mandarin Chinese (great discussion, but a little technical and not for the
beginner).
