Apple takes one step forward and the competition takes years to catch up. This device is so clearly thought out and utterly reliable there is nothing made by anybody else that even comes close. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!

A great value for the $$$

Verified Purchase:Yes
This unit shares many design and build characteristics as its semi-professional cousin the Tascam CD recorder, at half the cost. The only drawback I've found is the VU meter has fewer elements, so it's less graduated in it's readout. Nonetheless, it's built to last.

This is a real 'for the ages' title to have. Just don't roll out a 4K on this and I'll be happy that I spent my money wisely. Listen to the words that Cronkite uses in his reportage... he wrote all of it! The 65mm transfer of the crowds at launch will really put you there. It's uncanny how fresh it looks.

Great looking 4K disc... little else
on July 12, 2019
Posted by: jimmy
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this disc because I am a big fan of Tim Burton. But even for him, it's a big let-down. There are big gaps in the narrative, needless variances from the original story, and a tremendous waste of a noteworthy cast. That said, it is a spectacular looking disc, just a really thready plot. Congratulations to the animation team that did Dumbo's eyes... remarkable!

In a world where Brooklyn teen Miles Morales (voiced by Shameik Moore) got that fateful radioactive spider bite-and the mantle of Spider-Man-the use of a particle accelerator by the Kingpin (Liev Schreiber) is causing existence to fissure. As alternate-dimension Spideys like Peter Parker (Jake Johnson), Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld), Spider-Man Noir (Nicolas Cage), and Spider-Ham (John Mulaney) pile into his reality, can they help Miles undo the chaos? Oscar-winning animated effort also stars the voices of Mahershala Ali, Brian Tyree Henry. 117 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

nothing breakthrough or innovative about the artwork, casting, or storyline. pg rated humor in the Deadpool vein makes it derivative. significant due to minority characters, and we certainly need much more of that type of material... just wish it was better produced

historic title for Disney
on March 8, 2019
Posted by: jimmy
from des Peres mo
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is the property that generated the rebirth of the animation at Disney. A deceptively simple effort that reveals great depth in composition, casting, music, and giving the public what they needed at the right time. Without the success of this movie, none of the following juggernauts in animation would have been possible. Part Of Your World is the most memorable and sincere effort in the entire catalog. Not a standout title for 4k demos because of its age, it is still THE most important modern day effort from Disney to date. Extraordinary, Pure, and Powerful! A+++

It was 1969, and the lull at a once trendy hotel on the California/Nevada border ended with a rush of clientele including an aging priest (Jeff Bridges), a vacuum salesman (Jon Hamm), a drifter (Dakota Johnson), and a soul singer (Cynthia Erivo). However, agendas and identities aren't all what they seem... and between a hunt for hidden bank loot and cultists arriving at the door, no one should expect a good night's rest. Stylish contemporary noir co-stars Chris Hemsworth, Lewis Pullman, Cailee Spaeny.

budget Tarantino knock-off

written and directed with a distinct television sensibility, this is one title that will recede from memory in a hurry. look at the cast. lots of a-list names. but as a group they repeatedly do work just for a payday... lowering their own brand currency... but they're rich, so who cares? I bought the movie, so the jokes on me!

excellent value if it performs

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've purchased this unit to replace one of my NT-5 Sony soundbars.
The NT-5 soundbar series has a serious design flaw and Sony has discontinued them without admitting the issue, I suppose for financial reasons, despite repairs on multiple occasions. This CT800 shares many of the NT-5's features with fewer watts, fewer drivers, for fewer dollars. The main reason I bought this unit is that it is one of the few soundbars that is compatible with Sony's ZR-5 surround speakers (over $300 for the pair … also discontinued) so I need to ride this out. When these soundbars are up and running, they are good performers; when NOT, they are good doorstops. I'm completely brand-loyal to Sony, much to my disadvantage at times.

after my first screening of this film I felt it was engaging but not a multiple play title... the more I thought about it later, the more it has a deeper impact. It is a serious and thoughtful effort that will reward you with repeat viewing... it is a keeper!

The Hisense HS214 2.1 Channel Soundbar creates incredible sound in a compact and sleek form factor. Low-end frequencies are not lost with a powerful built-in sub-woofer that drives robust sound without taking up more precious space in the room. The HS214 is also a Roku TV Ready soundbar. Using the HDMI (ARC) connection, you can control both your Roku TV and the soundbar with the Roku Tv remote. A simple audio alternative that delivers a huge entertainment experience.
 

what is auto off?

a feature (when turned on) will power up and down the soundbar with the tv... a very convenient and important feature for a soundbar.

Will this work worth an older non-smart tv?

it will, provided the tv has some type of audio output (headphone-jack, rca outputs) failing that, you might have those same jacks on a cable box the tv is plugged into.

I'm used to thinking that a cd player plays cds, nothing more. Am I correct in understanding that this cd player burns cds as well as plays them? Thank you.

You are correct, sir.

i try to record and get comerror i turned it off and back on as instructed still get co error

You need to eliminate the possibility it's not accepting the blank CD... try another, then if that fails, try another blank CD brand. If it still rejects, then its a candidate for repair.

Can I play cdrws and mp3s with this unit?

More than likely, yes. However, there are many types of MP3's and more than a few ways to finalize a rewritable disc... but chances are you can.

is this phone compatible with T mobile?

Yes, but it's best you get the version with the specific sim for your carrier. In other words, go to a dealer that is a franchised agent for T mobile.
