Is far more useful than the dumb 1.6 foot cable I accidentally purchased. That one is a joke and I will just cut it into pieces and throw it away. This one is a keeper!!
No...Really. I am trashing the short 1.6 foot cable and keeping this one because it is far more useful. :-)

This iPhone from fApple actally works very, very well. I have had noting but trouble from my Motorola Z3 Play and Android Auto. I recently had Best Buy install a new audio system in my Mustang that works with either Android Auto or Apple CarPlay and the former just did NOT work well at all with my Z3 Play.
So what to do? I changed cables, I waited for updates, I put up with Android Auto not even recognizing my phone was there until I asked my daughter about her iPhone and CarPlay.
Via CarPlay in my Dodge Ram (I have not yet tested it in my Mustang but when I do I shall edit this review to reflect that experience) this iPhone does what I ask of it. I ask it to call my wife and it calls my wife. I ask it to play music via Pandora, SiriusXM or Amazon Ultra HD Music and it does.
Every time.
So...Highly recommended.
Trust me. I know what I'm doin' when I'm reviewin'.

I have to admit to going through phones due to a slight physical handicap that causes me to fall sometimes. And when I fall, the last thing on my mind is protecting my phone.
I've broken a few, believe me. I could not find an Otterbox for my Z3 Play and so that along with Android Auto problems prompted me to purchase the new iPhone SE and immeidately bought this case for it.
I have an Otterbox case for my work cell and it has NEVER been broken when I fall. I have fallen twice with this new Otterbox for my iPhone SE and the phone and case are both as new.
Highly recommended? Yuppers!

A great film made better buy the excellent 4K transfer. Sound is also very, very, very, very good. :-)
I took a chance that this film would be better in 4K (I have the Blu Ray) and it is. An example of an older film being transferred to 4K and NOT being better is the wonderful movie, "Groundhog Day".
This version of "Gladiator" is worth watching over and over. So then, highly recommended? Yup!

...I keep having to plug and unplug the USB to get the phone to work!
That may be a problem with the Maestro interface (and I have spoken with other Mustang owners that have not suffered this insufferable problem!) but I know it is not the phone as it works just fine with my Dodge Ram. I cannot call and it refuses to read text messages which does not happen with my Android Auto capable OEM radio in my Ram. It is very frustrating.
But otherwise, the unit is excellent! If anyone else has this problem and knows what the heck is going on, I hope to read it here. I am getting ready to return the unit and upgrade to a more expensive model just to get this problem to go away!
This phone problem is the ONLY reason I cannot recommend an otherwise great product. Maybe if I upgrade to a more expensive unit I will be able to use it as it is intended?! I like Kenwood but this radio is driving me nutso, LOL!

January 12, 2020
Look, I had a new unit installed today and I still have problems. So they hooked my ANDROID PHONE up to a couple more units in including a Pioneer and the problem was there so then...Is it my phone? Nope. My phone works just fine with Android Auto in my 2018 Dodge Ram. Not a freakin' problemo! I have literally worn out the USB-C input jack on my phone because the ONLY WAY TO MAYBE GET THIS TO WORK IS TO KEEP PLUGGING AND UNPLUGGING THE DEVICE!!!
So hey...Kenwood. I am now going to buy another NEW PHONE because of the worn out USB-C input from trying to get this unit to work in my Mustang. Again, no problems with the same freaking phone in my Dodge Ram. For almost an hour today (01/11/2020) the unit worked! I could ask it to play something and it would! I could ask it to text something to a specific person and it would! I could ask it to call as specific person and it would and I could actually hear and speak with them via the system!!! And then it stopped working.
i am about to put my fist through this unit and smash it to pieces but I am into this for a total of nigh on $1,200 dollars. I do NOT blame BB but really now, if Android Auto doesn't "always work with all Android phones" then Kenwood can have this back..

I had one just like this that I had gotten in June 2018 for college and it quit on me and there was nothing that could have been about it. I received this one today and it is perfect! There are reviews that the keyboard doesn’t light up but it actually does! You just have to push a button to turn it on. It is very lightweight and the speed of it is unbelievable! Only con is, it overheats quickly if it is sitting down on a blanket or something. I had it on my chest and I had no heating problems and the fan worked perfectly so I am guessing it needs to be on a flat surface.

As Etta James would say...."At last"....
July 24, 2020
If I could change my review it would now be 5 STARS. Why? Because I gave up on Android Auto and went with a new Apple iPhone SE and CarPlay. At last! The stereo delivers all that it should have. I may NEVER go back to Android Auto and that's too bad but nothing I did worked and I grew tired of poor performance that I now know is entirely the fault of every Android phone I tried. I even bought a very nice top o' the line Android phone and took it back the next day because it was worse than my Motorola!
So...This Kenwood is now HIGHLY recommend for those with iPhones. I like it so much that I am likely to upgrade to new speakers, a powered sub and a 4 channel amp. Thank you.

By Meimei
I was please for what I paid for, as it replaces an old tv in my living room. However, it was disappointing finding out that there were no screws for mounting, which usually comes with all the TVs I had purchased in the past (Sony, Samsung & RCA). I tried to fit the screws from my old TVs, but none of them fits. I went to lowes, and got smaller size screws, but still, it did not fit. What more disappointing was, I called Hisence C/S and I was told that Hisense DO NOT provide mounting screws, only the tiny stand screws ☹. The Hisense C/S provided me the type of screws, which is M6, but no size. I found out the screws I got yesterday were M6 and those did not fit. I’m done with this. I have been doing a curve side and delivery purchases, coz I have an undelaying medical condition and high risk for the COVID. I can’t go back and forth to Lowes and finds a perfect screw match. This TV cannot be just standing, due to its size, and a small earthquake can for sure knock it down. Right now, this one I got is standing up, its feet are unstable that we have to fasten it on the wall to be secured. If I cannot have the TV mount, then it’s going back to the store. Unfortunately, I will have to take it back after I spent all my afternoon setting it up.

Re: Mounting screws...
July 31, 2020
Hi - I know of NO television set and I've installed plenty of Samsung, Sony, Panasonic, etc. models, that come with screws to mount against a wall. The brackets that we all must buy separately have inside their box, contain a variety of mounting screws for different size holes on different TVs. TV manufacturers pretty much stick to a Universal mounting size so that people can purchase a mounting bracket and install their TV with what the company making the brackets includes.
If you want to use your old mounts, simply got to a hardware store and purchase the correct size screws to attach the TV to the wall mounts. It's easy! Again, I have NEVER seen a TV set come with screws to attach the "arms" to a TV so that it can be hung on a wall mount. As I said, it's an easy fix and it's not the responsibility of the TV manufacturer to include said screws. As you said, they did put some in for mounting the legs of their TV to the TV.
You can do this!

This is a fine laptop. Fast. Quiet. Cool running too, even when charging on my lap as I work. But...Like another laptop I had it also loses the touchscreen feature several times an hour. I have to close the program and reopen it and hope it stops. It does not. This is getting old fast and I have a few days left to return it as I am in the ElitePlus category but I don't want to return it I want it to work.
The only other problem it has is when watching a movie or even a video and I enlarge the screen the top of the screen splits and wavers with the upper image. I don't know how else to explain this but I know it should not do this.
I would still recommend it to friends and family because I am hoping this stupid touchscreen problem can be rectified by firmware and the same with the weirdo screen problem I mentioned. And yes, I have done every update under the sun so far, LOL!

May 2, 2021
After going through a couple of these otherwise fine laptops I have given up on this model. The Blue Meanie Screenie of Death was too much to keep trying to recover from. The freezing of 80% of the lower part of the screen while a tiny bit up at the top kept working was driving me crazy. The random loss of the touch screen drove me nutso.
And so...Back it went to BB. I am trying a different brand that is equipped nearly the sameand have high hopes but who knows? If the PC i just purchased does ANYTHING wrong, anything at all... Back it goes and I will return to fApple via a new iPad Pro (I like having the touch screen, especially on airplane trips as it is so much easier to use.

I dont normally leave reviews, but on this one i decided i would
After choosing between this and the yamaha 8k receiver, i decided on this one. Honestly, visually it looks nicer to my eye. Also, its 8k ready where as the yamaha 8k is a future update.
Now dont get me wrong, i have a yamaha 4k receiver in my bedroom and i love it to death, but if im dropping $$ for a 8k receiver, i want it 8k out of the box
Now dont get me wrong, i have a yamaha 4k receiver in my bedroom and i love it to death, but if im dropping $$ for a 8k receiver, i want it 8k out of the box
Setup was pretty basic and an easy step by step walkthru. I seen other reviews saying it was a nightmare. i dont know why, it was just very easy. asked you everything bit by bit.
Connecting the wires was also easy, everything was labled, didnt need instructions to figure it out.
I love that i can plug everything into the 8k ports, such as my cable box and 4k player and that i can change the program in settings so when i hit the cable button on remote, it goes to the alternate cable hdmi connection.
Sound is great, had to mess around with it a little to find the right settings for the surround sound and subwoofer.
My only real gripe is the phono. I have a vinyl player, i have it connected to the phono port, on my yamaha it was connected into a/v2. The issue i have is the volume when playing is low, like REALLLLLLL low. I had to turn up the volume to 50 to start to hear sound from it. i dont know why, i tried using a preamp, but then the sound was low and very staticy no matter how i changed hte settings. Seems odd to me that my tv will be blaring at vol 50 but i can barely hear my record player
Other then that, no issues with the system at all. for 500 its deff worth it. The sound is amazing, i dont need all the bells and whistles the $700 systems have, this seems to have everything i need. So if your looking for an easy system for a 8k beginner, go for this. you wont be disappointed
if u plan on listening to vinyls tho, well i dont know, maybe someone can figure that issue out

The phono input on this model is AWFUL. It is without merit and if Denon cannot help than back this goes and I will look further upscale from Denon and Marantz. Denon? Care to help us out, please? I hope so.

After choosing between this and the yamaha 8k receiver, i decided on this one. Honestly, visually it looks nicer to my eye. Also, its 8k ready where as the yamaha 8k is a future update.
Now dont get me wrong, i have a yamaha 4k receiver in my bedroom and i love it to death, but if im dropping $$ for a 8k receiver, i want it 8k out of the box
Now dont get me wrong, i have a yamaha 4k receiver in my bedroom and i love it to death, but if im dropping $$ for a 8k receiver, i want it 8k out of the box
Setup was pretty basic and an easy step by step walkthru. I seen other reviews saying it was a nightmare. i dont know why, it was just very easy. asked you everything bit by bit.
Connecting the wires was also easy, everything was labled, didnt need instructions to figure it out.
I love that i can plug everything into the 8k ports, such as my cable box and 4k player and that i can change the program in settings so when i hit the cable button on remote, it goes to the alternate cable hdmi connection.
Sound is great, had to mess around with it a little to find the right settings for the surround sound and subwoofer.
My only real gripe is the phono. I have a vinyl player, i have it connected to the phono port, on my yamaha it was connected into a/v2. The issue i have is the volume when playing is low, like REALLLLLLL low. I had to turn up the volume to 50 to start to hear sound from it. i dont know why, i tried using a preamp, but then the sound was low and very staticy no matter how i changed hte settings. Seems odd to me that my tv will be blaring at vol 50 but i can barely hear my record player
Other then that, no issues with the system at all. for 500 its deff worth it. The sound is amazing, i dont need all the bells and whistles the $700 systems have, this seems to have everything i need. So if your looking for an easy system for a 8k beginner, go for this. you wont be disappointed
if u plan on listening to vinyls tho, well i dont know, maybe someone can figure that issue out

This rebuttal is for liteon163...
April 16, 2022
If the phono input on the back of the AVR-660H is not for a phonograph then why pray tell is marked as such and written as being just that in the literature accompanying the unit? Sorry, this phono input is stupid weak. If I have to buy a phono pre-amp and then use a different analog input just to get the vinyl signal up to snuff then this AVR-660H is going back long before my 60 days is up!
The Denon AVR-660H is purported to possess a working phono input, so do not make excuses for what surely must be the wimpiest phono input I have yet to use! The Pioneer Elite SX-N30 that this Denon was bought to replace SMOKES the power output of the Denon with ease and not only all around but in particular, the phono section. liteon163 your words may have been well meaning but per all Denon literature on this unit, they are incorrect. It does have a phono input, just a stupid weak one.
Again, Denon? What is going on with this model, please? I shopping online here for a replacement as I use my turntable. Currently I have hooked up my Pro-Ject Sgt Peppers 50th Anniversary Essential III and I have to turn it to at least "60" to get any sound from my speakers with a sensitivity value of 91. It was far worse with the 88db ones I tried last night!

I have solved the phono level problem!!!!
April 16, 2022
I will also include this in my own review to follow within a week or so of the Denon AVR-S660H.
1) Select your input. In this case "Phono".
2) Now select "Setup".
3) Now select "Inputs".
4) Now select "Source Level".
5) Adjust level via remote for up to 12db of gain.
Exit. Repeat if you wish another input selection to have its level increased or decreased. Each input MUST be selected on the remote and shown on the receiver display prior to making the other selections I have outlined above. It is individual for each input. I raised my Phono all the way and now it works a whole LOT better!
I can now recommend this unit without hesitation. If that changes I shall leave an update here. All the best and happy listening...At last!

5 out of 5The Pinnacle of Entry Level Hi-Fi.
By Brock
Alright folks, I've been on a 6-month bender listening to Marantz' stereo amps since January. I first started with the PM7000, then the Model 30, and now the Model 40N. Take my thoughts with a grain of salt -- audio is always subjective and I'm a relatively new traveller on the Hi-Fi journey. I'll just cut right to the chase.
The Model 40 is the absolute top end of what I would consider to be entry level Hi-Fi.
What you're getting in one chassis is a quality integrated amp at 70w per channel, a reasonably good DAC, and a decent streamer. Let's break it down. Overall sound signature is very "Marantz." Warm, jammy sound that's rich and detailed. At first glance, it's probably everything you might want from an integrated amp. I did some side-by-side comparisons using my KEF R7 loudspeakers.
First up was DAC capability. I used the integrated DAC with source from the built-in network streamer VS a Topping D90 with source from my TV via optical and Audioquest interconnects. Switching back and forth was mercifully easy thanks to Spotify Connect, and after a lot of listening, I can say confidently that the D90 does resolve more detail. HOWEVER... the fact that it took direct back and forth listening of the same few songs multiple times to really get a good impression of the 40N's shortcomings speaks volumes about what's in the Marantz. And there were actually things I preferred about the sound of the 40N, even though the D90 resolves more detail!
Sound meshes more pleasantly using the integrated DAC, which is especially more prevalent in bass-rich songs. Ironically, "Gooey" by Glass Animals was the song that really made it click for me and spelled out what kind of sound the 40N is going for. As I said, warm, jammy, rich... "gooey."
Moving on, the real question many people might have is how does it sound vs it's slightly beefier but less updated brother, the Model 30. That was the main question burning in my mind and with the 40N being so new, it's difficult to find comparisons online. I had the rare opportunity to do a side-by-side demo using my friend's KEF Reference 5 meta loudspeakers and, hoo boy, there's some differences.
Testing equipment is as follows: Amazon Echo Link for source with optical out, Topping D90 DAC (we opted not to bother with the integrated DAC for consistency's sake), Audioquest interconnects to the power amp inputs on both amps. Direct 1:1 comparison.
The first and foremost difference is straight up power delivery. The Model 30 just has more horses under the hood. Not a bad thing, they say it right in the brochure, but there it is. If you've got power-hungry speakers, the Model 30 is undoubtedly the better choice. I wonder at whether this difference is accentuated more dramatically by the Model 40N being an A/B amp whereas the 30 is a class D. Either way, the Model 30 delivers more volume.
Detail is up next. The Model 30 offers texture, precision and urgency in it's delivery of sound. This is a HI-FI amp, meant to be listened to with a furrowed brow and stroking of one's chin. Imagine a buffet of resolved, detailed sound, sliced up with intention and put out on separate platters to be enjoyed individually. I wouldn't call it a cool sounding amp, but it's got a bit of a sharper edge than it's younger brother. That's the Model 30.
The Model 40N is an amp made for the people. Sound jells together less intricately, but has a pleasant vibe to it. Songs are juicy, rhythmic, and musical. In a head to head against the Model 30, I prefer the more exotic pips and pops that the 30 can deliver. It sounds like something that even the layman would indentify as a high-end system.
The 40N, with it's modern considerations and "everything but the speakers" mentality is, in my opinion, more value for the dollar. Honestly, a fantastic amp. You should buy it.

Does my Total Tech cover me returning this TV or not? I just reset it to wipe out my streaming services. I give up. Hisense has not done squat for me. I am still a fan of Best Buy, just not this TV.

My TV has a horrid "mosaic" affect on deep blacks that cannot be adjusted away. Also, this new TV "communicates" with my Denon AVR and turns on the AVR and starts turning on media players like Blu Ray and UHD Disc players. I hate this!!! HELP!!!!!

Not it doesn't have a built-in SiriusXM tuner. You can buy one and have it installed at the same time. I just use my portable with a dock and it's hooked to an input on the unit. That or use the SiriusXM Android App on your phone if you have it.

I just bought one today and it goes back tomorrow and all because it DEMANDS that I enter a credit card number and PII, Personally Identifiable Information. Why is this necessary to register and use a Roku or any device for that matter?
Apparently Roku ain't talkin'. I gave the device a single star and would give it zero if I could. It goes back today because I can't find out anything about how to get around Roku's insistence I provide them with PII and credit card info that they have no need for. I got it yesterday for $30 off but I don't care. It is not going in my home. Hey Roku....You can keep it. Pfffffffffftttt!

Oddly enough, I had to LOG OUT of my BB account to ask a question... I have this unit and today I may take it back. I have to keep disconnecting and reconnecting it to make a freaking phone call or receive a text. Kenwood? Do I NEED TO SPEND MORE?
To the Kenwood exper - I have an appointment with BB Car Installation on Jan. 11, 2020. I went there last weekend and the problem persisted in front of three technicians so hopefully they will just install a new unit that works.

It should be located on a sticker on the unit. Said sticker should also have the password and the MAC address on there. Just make certain to look for "Serial No.", "SN" or some such identifying nomenclature. Hope this helps! Thx!

Would it be beneficial to use more than one extender? What if I were to put a couple upstairs and a couple more downstairs?
I myself use two of these at different locations of our home. They work great and as I said in answering another question, if you have a device that is not WiFi capable but it has an RJ45 input jack, you can simply run a Cat5 or Cat6 cable directly from one of the RJ45 output jacks on the extender to the device and it will work just fine! All the best!

Will this help extend the signal for all my ring cameras
If you search for this particular extender and then enter the password it should do just what you need. Remember to look for the name of your original WiFi router with an _2GEXT or an _5GEXT after it. If your device sees both, choose the one with the best signal strength accordingly matched to everything else in your setup.

Can this handle the new fiber 200gb speed internet i have from metronet
I don't have the specs in front of me but I think the unit is "only" Gigbit capable. My fastest is a mere 400 to 500 mbps via wireless. It's more than sufficient for me but your needs may require more. :-) If you need 200 megabits per second vs 200 gigabits per second (it may have been a typo on your part?) you should be fine with this extender.

I have everything hooked up, the green light is on the Netgear device. However, when I now go to my laptop to connect the wifi, it doesn't except the password that I use for my original wifi (Belkin) router. So, what am I to enter as the password?
If you have a 2.5 and 5 gig system make certain both indicator lights are green. No then, if you are using your original (Belkin) wireless router and haven't changed that password, it should still work. Check that router to see if you are using the right password (it's usually on the side or bottom of the router) as I have often forgotten it and had to go back and look to make certain I was entering it correctly. Another thing you can do if whatever you are trying to connect is close to the new Netgear device is to simply hardwire it via a short Cat5 or Cat6 cable via one of the ports on the Netgear to the network RJ45 input (provided said device has one) on the device you want to join your network. That's just one reason I bought this Netgear extender, because not all my stuff is wireless and this extended allows me to run a Cat5/6 right to such devices. . I did this with one of my devices and it works great! All the best!
