Got this open box, so keep that in mind

So far we have loved this receiver. We had an older sony that was definitely not rated for hdmi or 4k. This one allows all my devices to plug in and go through one output to the tv.
So far only complaint is the bluetooth. Not a huge deal, but have yet to get it to connect with a device. This one was missing some of the manuals and such so it is possible there are steps we are missing.
The auto-calibration microphone that came with the receiver made setup really simple.
Overall pleased.

Case is cool, movie is great

One of the best Marvel movies to date. Benedict Cumberbatch is an excellent Dr Strange and the rest of the cast is wonderful as well. The movie is told in the same almost real texture that has made the Marvel Universe stand out and continue to be awesome.

Much better than the samsung we had.

We had a samsung blu ray player that was a few years old. The interface for it was just not intuitive, it was slow and we were just done with it. Bought this one on sale. It may be because we had such a lack luster one for so long, but we love the way this works. You are stuck with the functionality it comes with, but it works for us. All the important stuff (Netflix, Hulu, etc.) are all there.

This movie was actually really good. It was somewhat original. Alot of the action and effects were awesome. The characters were believable. You could see alot of the plot coming, but it didn't make the movie any less enjoyable.

Probably DCs best of the new movies so far
on February 15, 2017
Posted by: CaptainAmerica29
Verified Purchase:Yes
I am still partial to Christian Bale's Batman, and believe MIchael Keaton played the character best, but this movie brings alive some new characters for DC. Of the newer movies they have produced (pretty much the ones since "Man of Steel" that are supposed to tie together), this one in my opinion is the best. Lots of characters, and most are pretty good and at the very least interesting. Very good movie with a good cast.

Great movie; pleasantly surprised
on February 15, 2017
Posted by: CaptainAmerica29
Verified Purchase:Yes
This movie was a surprise. Samuel L Jackson, Margo Robie (Harley Quinn from suicide squad), and Aleksander Skarsgaard play the main characters you follow through much of the film. They were excellent. The historical context also helps add much to the story. Overall the story is pretty common for Tarzan; he saves Jane. But the way they presented the character was somewhat new and I really enjoyed it. Great movie; fun to watch.

Works well as a work around

Needed to connect an item upstairs in our home to our network via a hardline. Our house is not wired for it. This worked as a work around. It is pretty much just plug and play. I specifically used it to connect a camera system to our network so that we could see cameras on our phones.

Wife loves the colors and the case
on February 15, 2017
Posted by: CaptainAmerica29
Verified Purchase:Yes
Wife just bought an ipad air 2. It was to replace an old busted up ipad. She loves this case. The colors are pretty awesome from her perspective and as far as protection goes this one is pretty good. It has a plastic screen protector built in as well as a stand in the back. The rubber bumpers around the edges are very thick and spongy; seem like they would absorb alot of impact.

I forgot the password to log onto my Dell laptop. It says I need a USB password reset. Will this work?

If you did not setup a reset key before being locked out, you may be out of luck. You can reset your pc to factory defaults and start over.

If you are using a microsoft account on the pc you can likely go to their website and reset the password there.

If it is a local account and you do not know the password, you might be able to find someone who can hack it for you. If not you may be out of luck.

what is pass-thru feature? what does it do for you?

I am guessing you are referring to the feature that allows your devices to plug into the receiver via the hdmi cable and the receiver passes through whichever input you select to the tv. You don't have to scroll through inputs on the tv anymore you can do both volume and input selection via the remote of the receiver. It's actually pretty nice.

Can you add a passive subwoofer and if so how?

It has a subwoofer input in the back. I have some sony speakers and a sub from an old system I am using with my receiver and it works great.

Compatible w/turntable

It definitely has audio inputs. So I would think as long as you can run either a midi cable or white and yellow audio cables from the turn table it should work.

I can't turn closed captioning off when watching movies in vudu. I didn't have this issue on my last player, (an RCA). How can I turn it off?

I have run into this with vudu before after a kid watched something. I believe you can actually turn this off in vudu as well as probably on the player.

Found actual instructions here: https://forum.vudu.com/showthread.php?947564-closed-caption-how-to-remove
