Great Visual & Sound in 4K UHD
on April 25, 2017
Posted by: jikhead
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a great movie and I find it highly entertaining to watch. I've recently updated my TV to a 4K OLED, and the HDR looks great in this movie. There are small visual cues didn't notice before. The audio track in Dolby HD sounds great too. I only wish I had a Dolby Atmos setup to experience it even further.

Works Converting Old Video Formats

I couldn't get my old device software to work, as it was too old and made for XP. I needed to convert some old 8MM tapes for family, and this software did the job.

Waaay Too Long
on January 6, 2017
Posted by: jikhead
Verified Purchase:Yes
Never say it at the theater, and after watching on bluray...I'm glad I didn't. I wouldn't buy the movie, and instead would recommend just renting it if you haven't seen it. I picked it up for $4 during Black Friday; glad I didn't pay full price. Anyway, the movie takes way too long to build up the climax and it really gets dragged out too long along with the overall movie length. The last 45 minutes is when it gets better, but the first hour and a half or more really drags on.

Not Nearly As Good As the Original
on January 6, 2017
Posted by: jikhead
Verified Purchase:Yes
I thought the movie was OK, worth seeing at the theater but not nearly as fun as the original. When the original came out in 96', I loved it and if I recall I went back to the theater to see 2-3 times. Regardless, worth buying the bluray when it was on sale cheap during Black Friday.

I wouldn't say this is the best sequel in the xmen series, but it was still fun to watch nonetheless. Doesn't hurt to buy the bluray when it's on sale for few bucks during Black Friday!

I wasn't sure that this sequel would be that good with Justin Lin at the helm and not JJ. But I was surprised and really enjoyed it at the theater. Picked up the Bluray during Black Friday when it was on sale for few $$.

I rented this one night about 2 years ago, not knowing what to expect. I was really surprised and enjoyed the action. It's a great k*ick-butt and take names movie, and is probably one of Keanu's better movies. Picked the bluray up cheap during this past Black Friday.

Google Home Mini is a smart speaker powered by the Google Assistant, so you can ask it questions and tell it to do things. Just start with "Ok Google" to enjoy your entertainment, get answers from Google, tackle your day, and control your smart home. Google Home Mini works on its own or you can have a few around the house, giving you the power of Google anywhere."
 

Can I ask the Google Mini to play a certain radio station??

It can sync with certain streaming media apps and it will do this. If you have a Harmony remote and setup with a stereo receive, you should be able to issue commands to tell the Mini to change radio stations on your receiver.

Can this record? Listen in? etc?

You need Google's Nest camera for that so the Google Assistant function can work between both devices. Or you can pick up some other camera system that is Google Assistant compatible.

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.

Canon PIXMA MX922 All-In-One Printer: Print, copy, scan and fax documents and create borderless photos with this all-in-one printer, which uses the ChromaLife100+ system to extend the lifetime of printed images. You can print directly from your smartphone using Google Cloud Print or Apple~ AirPrint and add fun filters to your photos with the included My Image Garden software.
 

Will this printer work with cardstock paper?

I don't see why it shouldn't or couldn't. I haven't tested it, but the new printer does include a small package of 8.5x11 thick stock paper. So it should, but will probably vary depending on thickness.

I do not use wifi, does it come with cable to connect to my desk top. thanks

It does not include a USB cable. You'll need to purchase one if that's how you intend to connect it, which USB cables are cheap, and you can use your old cable if you have one.

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.

With built-in Bluetooth technology, this Sony STRDH750 receiver enables flexible pairing options. Includes HDMI 4K Ultra HD and 3D pass-through technologies for compatibility with 3D TVs, Blu-ray players and gaming consoles and 4K Ultra HD TVs.
 

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.
