While Slightly Mundane, I Really Like Oblivion

Verified Purchase:Yes
I enjoyed this in IMAX back when it released. I had it on HD digital but picked up the 4K edition while it was on sale for $15. Well worth it in 4K with the visuals in this movie. The Dolby Atmos is good and I enjoy the M83 soundtrack. It sounds really good in my 5.1.2 setup with it cranked up.

Good Continuation Sequel of Star Trek

Verified Purchase:Yes
I picked up the 4K edition while it was on sale for $15. I've gotten so used to watching 4K discs now, I don't notice much difference in quality since I tend to not go back to watching any of my bluray 1080p discs. Dolby Atmos is decent. The movie overall is entertaining and is worth adding to my overall collection, and is a movie that carries the ability to watch again whenever.

Premise May be Goofy but Still Fun Movie to Watch
on July 31, 2017
Posted by: jikhead

Verified Purchase:Yes
The whole premise may seem a bit goofy for the boardgame, but it's just a movie and is for entertainment which is does that. There's plenty of action in it and fun to watch. So if you like action movies then it is definitely worth the purchase. I'd try to pick it up on sale. The visual quality in UHD is great and definitely pops in HDR. This is one of but a few of my movies that has a DTS:X soundfield. It is very loud and has lots of stuff surrounding you.

Excellent Classic Movie to Add to Your Collection
on July 31, 2017
Posted by: jikhead
from Little Rock, AR
Verified Purchase:Yes
It is the 20th anniversary to the release of the original movie. I had always enjoyed this movie back in the 90s, and it had great digital effect for back in 1997. It had action and both comedy. Chris Tucker's character is funny as heck. It looks good in UHD, but there are a few scenes that get a little grainy due to the age of the movie. The Dolby Atmos is fair, but didn't notice anything spectacular. If you enjoyed this movie back in 1997, then you'll enjoy it again in higher quality.

Excellent Popcorn Movie w/Repeat Watchable
on July 31, 2017
Posted by: jikhead
from Little Rock, AR
Verified Purchase:Yes
Movie looks good in UHD and the Dolby Atmos soundfield was good. Probably the best part of the Atmos is the opening with Studio credits with all the plane sounds circling your speakers. Digital copy can be redeemed at VUDU in UHD with Dolby Vision & Atmos. The movie overall is fun and entertaining. Definitely is repeat watchable over & over again. If you didn't see at the theater, make sure you watch thru the end credits to see the extra scene leading up to sequels with other monsters and another Godzilla movie.

Nothing Special, Not as Good as Original Movie
on June 28, 2017
Posted by: jikhead
from Little Rock, AR
Verified Purchase:Yes
I liked the original movie but didn't find this sequel to be anything special. I bought the 4K disc set because it was on sale for $20. After watching it, if I did it over I wouldn't recommend buying this movie but instead it would be a recommended rental. Didn't notice anything special in the HDR area, and the Dolby Atmos sound field also didn't give me anything special either.

Not Sure if UHD Worth it, but was On Sale
on June 28, 2017
Posted by: jikhead
from Little Rock, AR
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this while it was on sale for $20. I'm mainly into the HDR and Dolby Atmos benefits. I didn't really notice anything in UHD or HDR that popped out at me, so can't say if it the 4K disc is worth it or not. But to be fair, I haven't gone and watched the bluray disc to see if I notice any variances in quality. I did appreciate the Dolby Atmos and the sound field sounds good. But I think it might have been added after the fact, because I think Man of Steel was released in 2013 and Dolby Atmos didn't come out until 2014. Rgardless the sound was good.

OK But Only Buy UHD 4K When On Sale
on June 14, 2017
Posted by: jikhead
from Little Rock, AR
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have enjoyed the franchise, but of the total 4 movies I would rank this one last. It was OK but seems they had to think up this story and it didn't add much to the narrative of the franchise. I would've preferred or would like to see the next sequel with Damon and Renner's characters teaming up for something. I didn't notice anything big with the UHD version nor any significant pop with the HDR content. However, I haven't watched the blu-ray version for any comparison. If you are purchasing the UHD edition, I would only buy it on sale for $20 or less. I wouldn't buy it at normal $30.

Fun & Entertaining Movie, not sure of UHD Version
on June 14, 2017
Posted by: jikhead
from Little Rock, AR
Verified Purchase:Yes
I always enjoyed this movie, find it entertaining to watch and liked all the characters. I bought the UHD 4K version but after watching it, not sure if I really noticed any gains in resolution or picture enhancements over the standard blu-ray edition. The original film was in 2.8 K and then converted down to 2K. So not sure of any benefits. I would only purchase the UHD 4K edition on sale for $20 or less (like what I did).

This Sony 4K Blu-ray player supports high-resolution audio formats for more accurate music reproduction.

Probably the Best Available UHD Player for $300<
on April 28, 2017
Posted by: jikhead
from Little Rock, AR
Verified Purchase:Yes
Most reviews on YouTube, most will say the Sony is better than both new Samsung & LG models. I can't compare since this is my first 4K UHD player. It seems to have a solid build, as it has a large footprint and metal chassis. It starts up pretty quick, and the discs play quickly too (much faster than my previous Sony bluray player). Waiting on the Dolby Vision update, along with the additional apps. It only comes initially with 4 apps, but the 4-26-17 firmware update has added a few more (not hundreds though). My negatives are on the apps: Netflix is OK, 4K HDR is working with DD. VUDU app doesn't support 4K. Amazon app is still not playing 4K content; only streams at HD. YouTube, my movies are only streaming at 480.

Will the Google Home Mini turn my TV on and off.
Not without another device. I don't know of any TV's with the Google Assistant built-in. If there was, it might work. However, you can pickup a Harmony Hub/Remote and it will work. I do this now for my TV, receiver, cable box, PS4, etc. I can tell my either my Echo Dot or Home Mini and issue commands to turn on/off my system, change channels, etc. Some commands can be a little finicky, and you have to do some customizing to get certain things working right (this is all on the Harmony side). I still have some issues with my system, but overall the majority of my commands work. There are several versions from Logitech, so check their website to see which remotes are compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant. I have the top of the line Harmony Elite.

Does it do two sided copies and multiple page copies?
I tested this for you and yes, it should be doing both of what you asked.
I first printed out a few pages and told it to print on both sides, which it does this correctly.
I then went into the Copy/Print settings, and set:
ADF duplex scan: Duplex
2-sidedPrintSetting: 2-sided
It then made copies of what I printed out earlier, and it printed the copies on both sides.
Check the user manual here and it tells you what to set.

Hooking up projector with component cables
Trying to drive video from a blu ray player into the receiver (via hdmi) and then from receiver into projector via component cable coming out of the projector. Audio works great but cannot see any video. I am plugging the yellow video cable from the projector into the yellow video port in the back of the receiver with no luck...
You may need check the settings that display on-screen. Then you need to look at the preferred output method setting for that particular input connection. You can specify to tell that device to use specific output.

What speakers are recommended for this system
need surround speakers and need to know what is recommended. The speaker hook ups are the type that require strippable speaker wires
You can hook up whatever type of speaker wire. They are binding posts that have screws. So you can put a bare speaker wire on the post or use banana clips, etc. Anything would work.

There are more than 4 input connections. You would need to specify what type of output connection you have on those 4 components before I could tell you.
