Astonishingly fine remaster
on April 21, 2023
Posted by: DouginDallas
Verified Purchase:Yes
The beautifully designed artwork for the steelbook only enhances the already splendid effort to make Dragonslayer look, if anything, better than it did during its original theatrical run. The Atmos soundtrack as well is breathtaking, and this belongs on the list of releases that surpass expectations.

Top quality 4k
on January 13, 2023
Posted by: DouginDallas
Verified Purchase:Yes
So far, everything is looking and sounding great on this top of the line UHD player. The menus were easy and straightforward, and picture and sound are as great as expected. Its build is quite solid, operation quiet; love the backlit remote control and rare front display. Pricey even on sale, but hoping it will last a very long time. Value is 4.5, but there was no option for half stars. No hesitation in recommending this.

Good portable cooling

Verified Purchase:Yes
Luckily we didn’t have outages this summer, but with iffy reliability from the grid we wanted to be prepared. We tested the open box unit when we got it home and it immediately started cooling. Feel confident with an extended protection plan this can provide peace of mind to hook up to the generator if necessary.

Some smart plugs had just quit working so we needed to replace them. Hoping these are durable, so far so good, and a good value.

Use this Rocketfish 2-Output HDMI Splitter with 4K at 60Hz and HDR Pass-Through to create two outputs with one HDMI signal. It has a plug-and-play interface with no setup necessary, and it has full 4K and HDR compatibility to accommodate the latest visual displays. This Rocketfish HDMI splitter retains the sound and image quality of the original input.

Fine upgrade to 4K
on December 9, 2022

This was available for a short time only it seems, so I’m glad I picked it up. The steelbook packaging is really sharp, and this is a stark thriller that seems better now than at the time of release. Great upgrade to picture and sound.

Just WOW!

I’d been wanting to upgrade the size in the home theater living room, and was waiting for the right cards to fall in place before making the decision. Finally with the clearance pricing this means I can move my treasured Z9D 65” to the den and replace it with the Z9J 75”. The picture is lifelike and smooth right out of the box. I didn’t have to change many settings and it was good to go. 4K movies look spectacular, and though it’s hooked up to a surround system, the sound from the set itself certainly beats most typical internal speakers. I considered OLED and the X95K, but I couldn’t be happier so far with this choice.

This beautifully filmic 4K disc has exceptionally fine video and audio, it beats older versions by a mile and I was grateful to find the nice steelbook version still available.

Enjoy movies and other streaming content with this Sony 4K Blu-ray disc player. Built-in Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity allow for media to be streamed in high quality, while a super quick start mode minimizes fuss during use. This Sony 4K Blu-ray disc player has two HDMI outputs for simultaneous use with multiple screens.
 

I noticed there’s no display of movie run time or anything on the front of the player. Is there a way to turn on a display on the front of the player?

Unfortunately no, you can access the information on time and such with the display button which brings it up onscreen. I, too, am frustrated most models except very high end ones have eliminated front displays of even rudimentary information.

Only at Best BuyEnjoy versatile audio with this Insignia all-in-one stereo shelf system. It has an FM radio for listening to your favorite stations, and its Bluetooth connectivity lets you wirelessly sync with compatible devices. Listen privately via the headphone jack on this Insignia all-in-one stereo shelf system, which has 20W RMS left and right channels for immersive surround sound.
 

I have found that the wire antenna is not powerful enough but am having trouble finding another antenna that has the unusual connection on the rear of the radio. Has anyone found a alternative antenna that works well?

Any F connector (round with flush pin that pushes onto the round connector in back) will also work, not just the odd shaped connector that is supplied (though this one was sufficient for my reception area to receive classical WRR in Dallas, really the only station I was interested in). If BB doesn’t carry one, the usual online suspects will offer ones of greater length, though even those can be problematic depending on your distance from transmission towers. AM isn’t an issue since this unit doesn’t provide an AM band.

Why can I not get the Radio or the CD player to come up on the screen? Tried several times? The time was simple to get.

The input description should appear according to what is selected. Press the power button. If radio is chosen the station number should appear after it reads FM briefly; CD, BT (Bluetooth), Line In, USB, all appear sequentially by pressing the Source button on the remote, or the button immediately to the right of the front panel power button. If that doesn’t happen the unit is likely in need of repair.
