Best Car stereo receiver I've owned hands down
Customer Rating
5.0
This is a great car stereo receiver. I've had many over the years, but this one is clearly the best I've ever had. The screen is bright, the sound is flawless and it has all the smartphone functions you need. I paired it with a iDatalink maestro to keep all my factory controls and inputs also to allow for using the second zone for the back. I used the Navigation to go from GA to MN, about 1300 miles and it worked like a champ, actually better than any I've used in the past. I even used the detour function to get around some construction and it did a great job at that as well. This unit has a very nice DAC in it, it will play FLAC HD lossless audio files up to 192/24 from USB or the internal SD card slot (which I've been using). The sound is amazing and it also gives you complete control over the speaker levels, which is very nice. The listening position function works well as does the graphic equalizer. I even love the feature that allows you to use your own images for the splash screen and backgrounds. For today's standards, it's a little more than other units, but is well worth it.
So far the only thing I can say negative about it is that fingerprints stay on the screen pretty bad, but I've just gotten in the habit of wiping it off at night after work with a microfiber cloth.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great speaker that outperforms it's price

Helped a friend install a new home theater system with these speakers at the heart. After I dialed them in they performed excellent. Very open and full sound that works great in a multichannel setup as well as by themselves in stereo. The imaging is amazing on these. If you can't jump up into the diamond series these are the next best thing.

What's great about it: The performance is excellent and has a very nice interface
What's not so great: No Amazon Prime Application (although you can airplay it)
I've used streaming from a Roku, a Chromecast and from my smart TV and none of them give the picture quality and overall performance of the Apple TV. It's got most of the major apps you expect plus if you have Mac's and iTunes it will be even better as the integration is wonderful. Before this Roku was my favorite streaming device but now it's hard to go back to the Roku after experiencing Apple TV. I have a feeling I'll end up buying at least one more of these. A truly great product
This product has... Easy to set up, Reliable connection
About me... Heavy media streamer, Business Professional
I would recommend this to a friend!
I use it in...:Large home

Sony - 4K Ultra HD Media Player
Learn moreabout Magnolia PremiumInstallation Download your favorite movies and TV shows on your compatible Sony 4K Ultra HD TV with this FMPX1 media player, which grants access to Sony Video Unlimited 4K network video service and supports 2160p resolution for enhanced entertainment.

Do you a need a hardware upgrade to replace the hdmi board on your sony 4k tv in order to use this 4k ultra media player and if you do who does it
It all depends on when your TV was manufactured, some work out of the box and some need the upgrade. If you do need an upgrade Sony sends the tech to your house. When I had mine done they even gave me a $100 Sony gift card, the only downside is you can't use the gift card on 4K movies, it had to be used at the sony store.
The upgrade requires the back of the TV to be removed, so if you've hung your TV they will need to pull it off the wall, what I did is had the TV stand for them so they unmounted my TV, used the stand and then re-mounted it after they diid the upgrade. They will also need to load firmware and run though a setup, it took around 2 hours from the time they showed up to the time I was watching the media player.

the videos that were supposed to be preloaded aren't available
spider man and 9 other feature films were supposed to already be loaded on my media player but aren't available. I only have some short clips.
Once you hook up to the 4K video service you should be able to download them for free, they show up as free when I'm browsing the store from mine.

The demo video clips on uhd tv displayed in store.
Are those video clips available ? If not, why don't you let those available to download for 4k tv owners.
No the store clips are not available although you get different clips with the 4K Media player and they added to them twice since I purchased mine lat summer. But I also have to say I don't use the 4k Media player much, on the 65" TV you really can't tell much difference between it and a good quality blu-ray player.
