Great stereo sound
on October 20, 2019

Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm currently refinishing a record room in my home and wanted a new receiver for it. I was unsure if this inexpensive receiver would be good enough, but decided to try it. This receiver exceeded all my expectations. It drives my 1985 ohm Walsh speakers perfectly. Listening to my records in pure direct mode using my Sony 1000XM3 NC headphones in wired mode is nothing short of magical. I have never heard better stereo sound from any of the many, much more expensive receivers I have owned over the past 40 plus years.

Didn't know anything about this character until I saw this movie. The story is fun and interesting. The film is very well made, both the 4K and the 3D Blu Rays are very effective.

Wish You Were Here is the ninth studio album by the English rock band Pink Floyd, released on 12 September 1975 by Harvest Records in the United Kingdom and a day later by Columbia Records in the United States. Inspired by material the group composed while performing around Europe, Wish You Were Here was recorded during numerous recording sessions at Abbey Road Studios in London, England. Some of the songs on the album critique the music business, others express alienation and the track InchShine On You Crazy DiamondInch is a tribute to Syd Barrett, whose mental breakdown had forced him to leave the group seven years earlier after the of the group's debut studio album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. It was also lead writer Roger Waters' idea to split InchShine On You Crazy DiamondInch into two parts and use it to bookend the album around three new compositions, introducing a new concept as the group had done with their previous album, The Dark Side of the Moon. As with The Dark Side of the Moon, the band used studio effects and synthesizers, and brought in guest singers to supply vocals on some tracks of the album. These singers were Roy Harper, who provided the lead vocals on InchHave a CigarInch, and the Blackberries, who added backing vocals to InchShine On You Crazy DiamondInch. - Wish You Were Here was an instant commercial success (despite the fact that Harvest Records' parent company EMI was unable to print enough copies of the album to satisfy commercial demand), and although it initially received mixed reviews, the album has since gone on to receive critical acclaim. It appears on Rolling Stone's lists of InchThe 500 Greatest Albums of All TimeInch and the Inch50 Greatest Prog Rock Albums of All TimeInch. Band members Richard Wright and David Gilmour have cited Wish You Were Here as their favourite Pink Floyd album, and many critics and fans have considered

Easily one of Pink Floyd's best albums. This remaster looks and sounds great. I saw Pink Floyd perform this album along with Animals during thier "In The Flesh" tour in 1977. The package comes covered in dark plastic with the Wish you were here round sticker attached to the front. I remember opening my original copy in 1975. Back then the album appeared to be just a dark blue cover, the artwork was only revealed when you ripped off the blue shrink wrap. It was startling because it was unexpected, just like the music on the record. With this copy I've decided to keep the black plastic cover and sticker intact by carefully slicing the opening to access the record. You can't go wrong with this album.

This movie is about a group of misfits some know it, some don't. It's the type of movie many people can relate to. The characters are enjoyable enough without being too pathetic. I liked the movie. If you've always been one of the popular people you might find it boring.

If you have seen all three original Predator movies then you know they are all very different from each other. The only thing any of these movies have in common is the Predator's. This new version is a good update of the classic series. It's fast exciting and fun to watch.

I enjoyed both of these movies very much. I like it when they include previous films in the series together with the latest version all in 4K for one fair price. I hope this trend continues.

Christopher Nolan steps back into the director's chair for this sequel to Batman Begins, which finds the titular superhero coming face to face with his greatest nemesis - the dreaded Joker. Christian Bale returns to the role of Batman, Maggie Gyllenhaal takes over the role of Rachel Dawes (played by Katie Holmes in Batman Begins), and Brokeback Mountain star Heath Ledger dons the ghoulishly gleeful Joker makeup previously worn by Jack Nicholson and Cesar Romero. Just as it begins to appear as if Batman, Lt. James Gordon (Gary Oldman), and District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) are making headway in their tireless battle against the criminal element, a maniacal, wisecracking fiend plunges the streets of Gotham City into complete chaos.

This is the best Batman film ever made IMO, so when I saw it was available in 4K I had to get it. This film still holds up, visually spectacular well acted by all with the Batman and the Joker as thier most believable selves. If you own a 4K TV, you owe it to yourself to buy your favorite movies in 4K UHD Blu Ray format.

Does this unit receive HD radio? And does it stay tuned to the HD station you were on, when it is turned off and back on?

If I am correct, HD radio is uses am bandwidth, according to my manual, this receiver is only capable of receiving fm signals. This receiver will return to where ever you were when you turned it off when you turn it back on.
