Great movie and story line

Bumblebee is a prequel to the Transformers franchise. It isn’t packed with action like the Transformers series, but it does stand its ground. The story line is what makes this film shine.
The picture quality is stellar and the Atmos track is descent.

Great War movie with some horror
on April 7, 2019
Posted by: IzzyD
from LA
I picked this movie up because of the Atmos sound track. I had read reviews about in online and all reviews said that this film had an extrodanary Atmos track and thag it was a good war movie. I decided to give this film a try. I picked this up an Automatically started to watch it. About 5 minutes into the film you get drawn into this intense war scene. Planes flying, bullets flying, and a tremendous amounts of explosions. Wow I was put into action... my SVS PB2000’s (2) were kicking. The Atmos track was the high light of this film. Picture quality was also good. The story of the film was ok.

This is the first animated movie I have purchase and I must say that it far exceeded my expectation. This movie kept me on the edge of my seat. It packs a ton of action and it has a great story line. The 4K was superb and the Atmos track was stellar. If you are looking for a movie to test your subwoofer, this is definitely a movie that will push your sub to its limits.. Bass is chess pounding and enjoyable. The Atmos track is Truelly emmersive with good use of Surrounds and chess pounding bass. Must grab ASAP

Great movie, poor sound
on February 15, 2019
Posted by: IzzyD
from LA
This film has a good story line.. The 4k disc has excellent picture quality., Wakanda looks amazing. Although picture was amazing, this film had poor sound quality... it doesn't deliver bass you can feel and it lacked the use of heights. In order to get somewhat of immersive sound you need to crank your receiver volume up a lot. more than you usually do. I gave it a 4 star because of its sound quality.

Good Picture, poor sound
on February 15, 2019
Posted by: IzzyD
from LA
I am a Marvel fan and i have collected every Marvel Movie. Whether the film is good or bad, i must have it. As you all know, in order to keep up with Marvel you must watch every film because a films connect to each other. Not only does it connect to films, it also connects to "Agents of shield." I rate it a 4 star because the Dolby Atmos track in this film is terrible. As you'll may know Disney Films have some of the worst sound. Whoever is there sound engineer does a poor job in recording the films with high output audio. This film lacks bass and surround sound. It fails to immerse someone. In order to get good sound, you have to crank up the volume on your receiver or amp.

If you are a transformers fan, this is a must have upgrade from the blu-ray version. All 5 movies have Dolby Atmos Sound track and 4k HDR. Sound is immersive with good use of surrounds. Although it lacked the use of height channels, the sound is very good. Note: Getting this on sale is a big plus because you get all 5 Movies for $62. The collection is better than buying them separately.

Dolby Atmos Track Does what it needs too
on February 15, 2019
Posted by: IzzyD

Al though, the movie didn't do good in the box office, i found it to be very good. The sound track is truly immersive, the explosions are chess pounding and it has good use of surrounds. Picture quality could have been better, however, the movie is still good. This movie is a perfect example of ordinary lives, making hard choices and taking risk. This movie kept me in my toes .

The 4k version of this is well worth the upgrade from the blu-ray. For it being an old film, they did a real good job on enhancing the picture and sound quality of it. The Dolby Atmos sound track immerses the listener with high explosions and bullets flying everywhere (around and above you). This movie delivers outstanding use of surround and height channel. Need less to say that the story line is good as well. This movie is a must have to your collection.

This Movie is the perfect blend of live action and CG. The soundtrack in this movie is amazing. Whoever was the sound engineer of this movie did and extraordinary job. This movie is a perfect example how all movies should sound. It delivers bass you can feel in your chess and it has a good use of height channels. The sound track really immerses a listener.

By ALEXRIZZA
from SAO PAULO, SP
Hi, I'm an owner since 2009 of an YAMAHA A/V RX-V3067 7.2CH which I use with 2 amps Harman Kardon to become a 11.2 ch. I know everything about YAMAHA receiver and I decided to buy a new one with 11.2ch. Since YAMAHA does not have, I tested The Marantz SR8012 (powerfull but I dind't like the visual), DENON AVRX8500H ( to expensive) and thePIONEER SCLX901( which was ok but the sound was amazing) .All these 3 A/V has price over $2.000. So I decided to buy this RX-A3080. About the sound of every speaker: waht a huge difference from the previous V3067, the sound is clear, powerful and you can hear every music note. The setup of GAIN/Q FACTOR/ FREQUENCY for every sepaker is easy ,and the surrounds make a lot of difference. The A1 is a sound state of art . To experience all this features you must have premium speakers. I have 2 YAMAHA bookshelf (180w rms) for front, 4 JBL (110 Wrms) for surrounds), 4 HARMAN KARDON (100w rms) for front speaker presence, 2 YAMAHA (100wrms) for rear speaker presence and 1 CENTER HARMAN KARDON (300w rms). If you want to experience clear sound you must have this YAMAHA RX-A3080

Have you tried using the Surround Sound Decode format on the receiver? If so how do you like? Is the surround sound experience better than the Marantz SR8012?

3 out of 5
3 out of 5Lack of technical support
By ChromecastUser
from Philadelphia, PA, USA
I have been a great fan of Chromecast since its launch a few years ago and bought three of them (two Gen 1 and one Gen 2) prior to this purchase. I use them primarily for YouTube, Google Play Video/Music, Amazon Music, and Plex Media Server (for my personal collection of FLAC audio files and home videos). Recently I started shooting videos in DCI 4K and storing edited version in HEVC (h.265) at UHD resolution. Even though I have not upgraded to an UHD TV yet - my computer monitors are UHD - I saw the need to get a Chromecast Ultra so that I can avoid transcoding HEVC to h.264 and downscaling on Plex Media Server to feed the regular Chromecast, in addition I would like to transcode my older 1080p videos to HEVC to save storage space and the regular Chromecast cannot decode HEVC. While Chromecast Ultra excels at everything else, it fails miserably with downscaling UHD videos (regardless of h.265 or h.264 CODEC) for display on a 1080p display: the videos are shown in the wrong color space. This issue is specific to UHD videos played on 1080p TVs and monitors, and it impacts only the actual video, if any info (texts, thumbnails, etc) is overlaid on top it is rendered in the right colors, but regardless of what Chromecast-compatible app is used. I reached out to Google for support. Except the original chat session the communication has been one-directional, I have sent them screenshots as well as a sample video file. A week and a half later I have not heard ANYTHING back. My use case, while not the most common, is hardly unreasonable. With that in mind I am surprised this issue was not discovered in their software QA process. I would have stuck with them to work it out, however, if they had followed up, even if a workaround is not yet available. Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K is on sale this week. I bought one and it renders UHD video on FHD TVs perfectly. If you are heavily invested in video/music contents from Google Play, then Chromecast is definitely for you, which is why I still recommend the product despite my troubles; otherwise take a close look at the competition - I am glad I did. Knocking one star off for functionality, and another for the poor support experience.

The sound on this receiver is fantastic. It also has incredible wireless features which is the reason I bought it. The only problem I have is it sometimes switches on after I turn it off and the audio return channel sound which at one point did work now does not and I cannot get it to switch back. I’ve tried everything. I’m not sure what settings were changed to make it not work but it’s very frustrating because it’s one of the reasons I bought this receiver.

HDMI ARC not working = simple fix
June 1, 2019
I own both Pioneer and Onkyo and I've come across this same issue, but i figured out how to fix it. Note: that whenever there is new "software update for your AV," HDMI ARC will disconnect and or not work. Whenever HDMI ARC isn't working (outputting audio from your TV), follow this steps.
Step 1: Make sure that Your TV and AV Receiver are both Powered on and that your TV's input is on TV.
Step 2: Unplug Your Receivers Power Cord for 2 minutes and then plug it back in. (this would do a basic reset and you will notice that your AV stayed on)
Step 2: Unplug Your Receivers Power Cord for 2 minutes and then plug it back in. (this would do a basic reset and you will notice that your AV stayed on)
if you follow these steps HDMI ARC should be up and running.
IF steps 1 & 2 didn't solve the problem go on to step 3.
IF steps 1 & 2 didn't solve the problem go on to step 3.
Step 3: In your AV Settings Deactivate HDMI ARC and Turn it back on.
After this you shouldn't have any more issues.
Sometimes HDMI Arc doesn't work bc there is a delay and you'll notice that your AV didn't power on. If this happens simply change the Input selection on your TV 2 or 3 times and AV should power on.

The ultimate 3D surround experience that will blow you away. You~ve never heard anything like the JBL BAR 1300X~in your living room or anywhere else. More than just a great soundbar, it~s a full sound system. It features MultiBeam and six up-firing drivers~four in the bar and two in the detachable battery-powered surround speakers~that deliver massive Dolby Atmos and DTS:X 3D surround sound, centering you in your music, movies, and games. 1170W of total output power and thrilling bass from a 12~ subwoofer is more than enough to make the room shake. Though, you~ll never miss a word with due to our PureVoice technology, which makes sure the dialogue is clear even when other sounds are at their loudest. When you want to enjoy your favorite tunes choose streaming via either AirPlay, Alexa Multiroom Music (MRM), or Chromecast built-in that give you over 300 music streaming options. But that~s not all. Your choices are as unlimited as you are because you can also pair the soundbar to your Bluetooth device. You can even take one of the detachable speakers (or both for powerful stereo sound) out to your kitchen or patio and enjoy listening to your favorite music or podcast there.

Dude you have the soundbar mounted on the wall wrong. You need to rotate it upward. You have your Atmos speakers facing forward rather than up to the ceiling and your front speakers are facing downward
