History in movies
on December 27, 2019
Posted by: kurtdh
Verified Purchase:Yes
William Wallace, depicted by Mel Gibson, was a leader of a Scots' attempt at freedom from England. Saw his sword on a recent visit to Scotland and Mel is not tall enough :-). From the history I read there, the movie, while it does take artistic license at times, is fairly accurate in its portrayal of the time.

Enjoy clear, dynamic bass with this Klipsch SPL subwoofer. Its 10-inch cerametallic cone woofer is lightweight, rigid and matted to a dual-layer copper-wound voice coil for virtually distortion-free output, and its 200W Class D amplifier provides efficient performance. The front-firing port design of this Klipsch SPL subwoofer enables flexible placement and prevents resonance.

Posted by: kurtdh
Verified Purchase:Yes
within 2 months of ownership, began to lose HDMI ports. Was down to 2 working inputs and 1 working output by the end of the 4th month. then it simply refused to turn on. support says it is low voltage failsafe to prevent damage. it is currently in the a Yamaha service canter being repaired. Great kudos for the support staff! they were extremely responsive and helpful.

smokes Yamaha
on October 11, 2019

Verified Purchase:Yes
I had a Yamaha RX-V685 that died. Replaced it with this unit. Pretty close to the same specs. This unit sounds so much better right out of the box than the Yamaha did after running their speaker setup program. Connects to everything with all the HDMI ports available. I have an Atmos setup and this receiver powers all 8 speakers without a hiccup. Should've gone Denon years ago. only complaint is that it is a bit pricy when not on sale - but you get what you pay for!

Can this watch be connected to alexia?
According to reviewer hounddog on 11/12/2019, "YES, ALEXA!! I added the Alexa App, called "Talk to Alexa" In the companion "Galaxy Wearable" App. You can find it in the App section: Discover>Top Watch Apps>Categories>Lifestyle>Top Paid. I can ask Alexa to answer questions, things that I would typically Google on my phone, in addition to finding out the weather, set timers, and control my smart home, RIGHT FROM MY WRIST! I have tested various requests using my Active 2 vs asking Alexa in my home. The responses were identical. The first photo below is of Alexa ready to listen, and you can program her to launch when you double tap the Home button."

Does this unit allow you to play different music in each zone? For example: can I watch a movie in the main zone and play music via an airplay 2 device (iPhone).
I'm sorry, but no. According to the manual:
"The same input source is applied to both Zone A and Zone B."
You can play either zone, or both, but all speakers will play the same thins.
I believe you can move up a level or so to get the function you desire, but am not sure.

It does not have a specific turntable input - those are different than other inputs like CD players.

My TV has apps like Netflix and other streaming services. For sound to run through my audio system the amp must support Audio Return Channel. It’s generally HDMI 2 on most 4K TVs. Does this receiver support ARC? If not, which one does? Thank you.
yes it does support ARC. Make sure the "HDMI Control" in the setting menu is set to "on" nd then choose "HDMI" - "ARC Enable".
It should be the default setting of ARC on.
Hope this helps
