They just had to up the damage for the next showing, and did. Keanu handles the problem well, improving a lackluster script.

Good Animation & Story Plus Very Good Music

We bought this specifically for the 3D and were not disappointed. The music, by "Hamilton" composer Lin-Manuel Miranda, is excellent and perfectly fitted to the action.

Inexpensive remote does a good job
on July 25, 2017
Posted by: Willybird
Verified Purchase:Yes
Logitech has improved their remote-programming routines over the years, and this model was easy to set up for a complicated AV system. The small display is back-lit and easy to read, and you can add several layers of detail to the simple on/off, volume and major control functions.

The most recent entry, 2016's Underworld: Blood Wars, stars Beckinsale and Theo James. Relive all the action, deleted scenes, and commentary with this collector's edition set.

Underworld Complete...So Far
on June 9, 2017
Posted by: Willybird
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a good fantasy/horror collection and it's nice to have it all in one cohesive set rather than piecemeal. If you activate the streaming option on VUDU watching the films is very easy, and you can download the films, too.

Capable and Versatile Receiver
on May 27, 2017
Posted by: Willybird
Verified Purchase:Yes
This receiver can be set up for your listening area in a few minutes using the furnished microphone and equalizing routine, and can be further adjusted using the built-in equalizer and/or tone controls. As with all Onkyo products the sound is excellent, with plenty of power to spare. The manual is well-organized, and the downloaded PDF version has both the Basic and Advanced manuals combined in a single file. Reading both is recommended if you want to get the most out of this versatile device.

Used for Creating USB System Backup Drives
on April 1, 2017
Posted by: Willybird
Verified Purchase:Yes
Computers used to come with extensive manuals and CD/DVD restoration disks. This is not the case these days, and everyone should create bootable USB system 'disks' so that hard drive problems don't render your PC unusable. These drives are suitable for that purpose, and distinctive in appearance so I know what they're for. These were purchased at a very nice price point in a 3-piece offer, and all of my PCs are now backed up.

Not a 'Real' Terminator Film?
on March 28, 2017
Posted by: Willybird
Verified Purchase:Yes
While the movie presents an interesting story line, it doesn't have a solid connection to the first three Terminator offerings. Sam Worthington's character is created only to supply parts for Christian Bale's. If you can set the deus ex machina aspect aside, though, it's a good watch.

It's Always Good to Have a Spare
on March 19, 2017
Posted by: Willybird
Verified Purchase:Yes
Like many activity trackers, the Garmin VivoActive HR can't be charged with a generic cable. I carry this in my car in case I find myself away from home and in need of a recharge. It hasn't been used yet because the VivoActive HR has a great battery than can last for days, but it's nice to know that I have it with me..

Versatile Activity Tracker
on March 10, 2017
Posted by: Willybird
Verified Purchase:Yes
My Vivoactive HR's walking app has proved to be an accurate tracker, tested against a course of known distance. If you use the foot pod, it also tracks the number of steps. This device is one of the few that can go swimming, and that is very handy. You will need to read the manual to get full benefit of what this tracker can do.

Upgrade your home theater with this high-quality Samsung 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player. Integrated Smart Hub technology connects wirelessly to your home network, allowing you to stream your favorite programs on demand. Equipped with several high-definition outputs and an HDMI port, this Samsung 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player integrates easily into your existing setup.
 

How do you make the UBD-M8500 BluRay allow to show pictures from a DVD continuously on my Samsung TV?

The ability to repeat an entire movie is determined by the DVD's publisher. To watch a movie in repeat mode select Tools, then cursor down to the Repeat Mode selection and press the 'Enter' key. If repeat play is available, cursor down to select Title, and press the Enter key again. You can also change subtitles and other modes.

Note: Turn Repeat Mode On after the actual movie starts to play. If you try it too soon the screen and menu will go blank very quickly.

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to pause a movie, shut the unit off, turn it back on and resume from where you left off watching it?

Don't pause the movie, stop it and turn the player off. The machine will 'remember' where it was the next time you turn it on and offer to resume the movie where you had it.

Listen to your favorite records with this Audio-Technica AT-LP120-USB professional turntable, which features a selectable phono preamp for use with systems with no dedicated turntable input. The USB output lets you digitally back up your collection.
 

how does dustcover hinge engage, is it easy to remove and replace dustcover.

since the hinge engages at 14" tall, this turntable will not fit in my vertical space of my entertainment center. but, if i could easily remove the dustcover, play records, and replace the dustcover at the end of the night, without turning the turntable around in a tight space, or fumbling at the back without being able to easily see, it might work for us. i am hoping the hinge is a simple slotted situation, you can remove and replace without screws and flashlights, etc., if so...then it might work for me. thanks for your quick reply. i only have 10 inches of vertical space, so there is no room to mess around and try to get a hinge to engage, or screw and unscrew things every night. thank you!
The cover has two 'paddles' on the rear edge that stick straight up. The cover can be lowered onto these and removed quite easily. However, with only 10" you won't be able to get the cover safely past the tone arm, and the tone arm should not be hit by anything, period and ever. You might just make it, but it will be a very tight situation.

can i insert a USB to bluetooth converter and send the files to my computer or iPhone?

Yes, but in my experience, Bluetooth has been a mediocre method to transmit music. The turntable has a line-level output cable and a dongle to convert the signal to a 3.5mm stereo plug. A direct connection to your PC or phone will give you much better audio quality.

Do you need to use a separate pre-amp when connecting this turntable to a home theater amp with no dedicated phono input?

The turntable has two output cables. One is intended to plug into the 'Phono' input on a receiver, the other to any line-level or 'AUX' input. A separate Phono-preamp is not needed.

Can we watch TV in one room while playing music streaming Pandora on zone 2 simultaneously?

Yes. That's the purpose of Zone 2.

Will I be able to connect a cassette deck to the receiver so I can record from a turntable? How would I do this?

The only way I can see to record analog signal using this receiver is to connect the deck's recording input to the "Pre Out" port near the Zone 2 connector and the playback to something like the CD input. Any source might possibly be recorded this way, but I don't have an analog recorder to test this with. Check the manual to see if the Pre Out is volume controlled - you may have to break some windows in order to get a 'loud enough' signal for the tape deck. If the Pre Out is 'line level' you'll be better off.

Note: recording through this receiver might not be legal. Call Onkyo and ask first..

Do I need to use this receiver in order to hear the TV sound?

Connecting your TV to the receiver will not mute the TV's speakers. You can either listen through the TV or turn the TV's volume down and listen through the receiver.

Is this hdcp 2.2 compliant?

This receiver is hdcp 2.2 compliant. I have attached a 4K player to the device and streamed 4k content and everything works perfectly - and beautifully.
