This receiver has truly amazing sound, even playing TV, music at the lowest possible level. Friends have even been awed by it.
HOWEVER, the remote is the worst I've ever encountered. For $1000
you'd think Pioneer would provide something usable. Unless you have a bright light on, forget using the remote (thank goodness, Apple has an app that can control the thing. Set up is baffling. I've been trying to find settings for 5 days and am still lost. Can't get through to support..forget that. I've set up many receivers in the past for myself and others almost blindfolded...this one defeats me. There's no users manual. Wi-fi? better be prepared to spend another $250 to $300 to get that. The Gui? what gui. Only confusing categories, no guidance.
Have also noticed the video is not as crisp and sharp and colorful as my last Onkyo.
If you're willing to hire a geek squad group to set everything up and write the instructions down for you to reference...this is the receiver for you...the sound does rock. If Not, go on to another brand.

What's great about it: Sound quality as good as it gets
What's not so great: Set up nearly impossible
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Forget the critics, forget the ABBA haters. This is a joyful, fun and even moving version of the stage bonanza. The Greek Island locations couldn't be more perfect. As for those who say the stars can't sing? Meryl is dynamite. Her Winner Takes It All is amazing. And what fun she has throughout the film. Baranski is a well known Broadway Musical Star and she can sing. Brosnan? He's got a gruff sound, but he sure acts the songs wonderfully. Watching MAMMA MIA is like observing a great party that you wish you were invited to.
What's great about it: Meryl, Meryl, Meryl
What's not so great: Nothing

SynopsisTiger Woods is one of the most dominating athletes in all of sports. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 is equally as strong with powerful features that take golfing action to new heights. For the first time, every portion of your game is recorded, from your opening drive on the first hole to your final putt in the FedEx Cup championship. This allows you to post your most outstanding rounds on EA SPORTS GamerNet, which is a revolutionary interactive gaming hub that hosts user-created content online. Play as hard as Tiger does, take on challenges set by other players and determine once and for all who is the world's greatest golfer.Just as in real life, confidence plays a big factor in your success or failure. The all-new Shot Confidence function tracks your performance on every hole, so you can analyze your performance with the Confidence Meter to identify strengths and weaknesses. With Photo Game Face, you can insert yourself into the game like never before by uploading real-life pictures of you, friends, family and others to create in-game characters. Take part in the all-new FedEx Cup championship format by playing amazing rounds at Westchester Country Club, TPC Boston, Cog Hill and East Lake. Featuring some of the best players in the world, including John Daly, Vijay Singh and Tiger himself, you will be immersed in authentic action on every drive, chip, putt and birdie.

I've been anxiously waiting for Tiger 08, but what a disappointment it is. The graphics look fuzzy, no sharpness to the courses. The sound mix is terrible. The new 3 click swing is farcical. The Photo game face only works if you have a digital camera that can connect via usb. It will not accept a flash drive usb device. All in all, I'd recommend playing the fun Tiger 07 for another year and hope that 09 will be equal to 07.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The thinnest iPad ever is also the most capable. It's loaded with advanced technologies, including the Touch ID fingerprint sensor.
Overall
3 out of 5
3 out of 5Not so impressed!
By DJRi
I traded my iPad Air for this one and I have been more frustrated then anything else. This is suppose to be faster??? Yet to see the difference, the touch screen requires me to touch it multiple times for something to actually happen. The finger swipe is cut but to be honest, knowing what I now know, I wouldn't have traded my other one in. They gave me 300 for it so I'm not out the full amount but I hope I grow to like it or things get working better with updates, I might even take it back.

You must have a defective one...the ipad air2 I got this week seems twice as fast as the previous, and the touch much more sensitive...sound speakers are much more powerful...take your's back and get a replacement

which blue ray dvd player would be the best one that would have a netflex menu guide like tv guide which would show you list of instant play movies. Energy star, memory card vidio capability. At a good bargan price.
Almost all of the new blu ray palyers have that option.

What''s is the difference with INTERNET CONNECTABLE AND JUST A PLAIN BUILT-IN WI-FI
Only differenece is that the wi-fi will "find" your modem and the other means you need an ethernet connection. Both work fine.

Why does it say my new blu ray has to be updated to play a movie?
The studios keep changing their codecs ( to avoid piracy) so the updates need to be installed to play the newer discs.

BluRay audio hookup
I have a Sony digital 5.1 digital reciever. Which generation of blu-ray player will allow me to get 5.1 digital surround sound?
As far as I know, all of them. But your better off with at least a profile 2 player.
