 Open Range [DVD] [2003]
Open Range [DVD] [2003]
Kevin Costner's 2003 Western Open Range comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. English soundtracks are rendered in both Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1. Spanish subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include a commentary track recorded by Costner. He talks about his theories as a director, his affection for the Western genre (a type of movie that, with this film, he proves he has absorbed), and many tales about the film's production. His commentary is as earnest and heartfelt as the film itself. A second DVD is full of information on the making of the film, allowing the viewer access to almost every aspect of the process. This is a strong disc from Disney/Buena Vista that will be of particular interest to any genre enthusiast.
 
A really superb Western that is el fantastico!

Not gonna lie to you. Never have and never will so...Here goes!
Buy this DVD (or Blu Ray) and watch it with your husband, wife, girlfriend, boyfriend, parents, kids, entire family, neighbors, etc.
Be prepared to be thoroughly content with your purchase and to know that this is a film you will seek out to watch every month or so. Or more. It is THAT GOOD! I gave this particular copy to my brother and his wonderful wife. Then I drove 800+ miles to watch it with them. Yes. I am a serious Cinema Viewer, LOL! They truly enjoyed the film and are more than happy to have it in the collection.
Oh yes. I own a copy too. Yuppers!
This film is HIGHLY Recommended by your humble reviewer. Well... As "humble" as I can be...LOL!
Trust me. I know what I'm doin' when I'm reviewin'.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I am something of a headphone-aholic and decided to buy these to see what all the fuss (or lack thereof) was about.
No buyer's remorse here. They look good, are comfortable, the ANC is more than sufficient for my needs and music sounds like...music!
I could make up some stuff like the sound stage was sooooo
W I D E my older sister could fit or how the music was sooooo transparent that I could hear right through it to the musician's soul but I'm not gonna lie to you. :-)
Did I mention that they pretty durn nice? Well they do and anyone that tells you "looks don't matter none" can't see past their ego, LOL! Looks are subjective so if you don't care for them you probably aren't reading this! :-)

The first and third installments are the best with the 2nd coming in "third" place and the "Indiana Jones and the Crystal Cathedral" coming in last. It was still great to see Indy and Marion together and not even that goofball wack-job Chia-pet Laboof couldn't destroy the joy in that union! LOL!
Picture and sound on all transfers are exemplary! I bought a set for me and one for my brother and his most excellent wife!
So then, HIGHLY RECOMMENDAMUNO!

Look, they are for Dolby Atmos encoded films. The work just fine, look good doing so and were an upgrade to a pair of Atmos speakers that didn't look as good and were not as well designed.
Highly recommended indeed!

It's too golly-gee-whiz SHORT and is therefor useless to me. My fault really, I thought I was buying the 3.3 foot version again.
I will cut this junque into pieces and trash it and just use the 3.3 foot cable I also bought. This one is ridiculously unusable for me and no...I don't want to give it away.
I should have paid attention to what I was ordering, LOL! :-) I can be such a maroon sometimes! So NO freaking way I would recommend this too-short-for-anything-I-would-care-to-charge-on-it cable.
I gave the 3.3 foot cable 5 stars. Yeah, it's the same cable but much more useful in the real world. AGAIN - It is my own fault for not paying attention and so I've paid the price and will trash this useless thing. If you have a use for such a stupid-short cable, then by all means, it is a five star item.
I don't. :-)

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.

This thing is great. It cooks eggses (a bit o' Gollum humor, there!) perrectomundo every time. Every thyme. No...Really. It does it perfect every single time.
Highly recommended because it works as advertised. It's an egg cooker that cooks eggs perfect every time. I eat two or three dozen eggs a week, so yeah...I like this thing!

Samsung - Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G 512GB (Unlocked)
Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G is crafted so you don’t need to choose between video and photo. With a single tap, you can pull super-clear stills straight from high-resolution 8K video. Or if you’re looking to capture stunning photos, the 108MP camera feels like you’ve brought your own professional studio with you. Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G, designed to be epic in every way.
 

Does Samsung in general and this model in particular work well with Android Auto? My Motorola Z3 Play is awful in this regard and I am thinking of returning to Apple because of that. Thanks!

The Motorola edge is the perfect combination of a high-quality 6.8” Max Vision display that lets you watch shows on the largest display in its class. The insanely fast 144Hz refresh rate looks super smooth. Plus, true-to-life colors with improved brightness and contrast.
 

Does this work with Android Auto or not? The reason i ask is that I have a Motorla Z3 Play that doesn't play well with Android Auto at ALL. I had an iPhone and may go back but want to know about this model and Android Auto. Thanks!

Listen to your favorite albums with this Onkyo DX-C390(B) 6-disc CD player that features Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry technology for clear, brilliant audio. The high-precision multibit D/A converter delivers high-quality sound.
 

Is this CD compatible with a Sonos Port? If so, do I need any other components to play CDs and hear the music through my SONOS system of speakers?

If your "SONOS Port" is a simple standard input jack, I would say yes. On my HEOS setups, I simply choose the input of CD and hit play and the music goes to whatever speaker(s) I have set up.

Yes, I am unfamiliar with SONOS but I do think the port you speak of must surely be a standard input jack. All the best!

I am totally unfamilliar with a "USD" drive so I think you meant "USB". If so, the answer to your question is a resounding "YES!"

What kind of subwoffer do I need for bass and how do I hook it up too hear it

There are two (2) SUBWOOFER pre-outs on the rear of the unit. You will need a self-powered subwoofer (they come in a variety of sizes and power outputs!) for this and an RCA type connector cable (all of my new subs came with a cable in their box) that has one male end plug for the AVR subwoofer output and either one or two male end plugs for the input on the subwoofer(s). Once installed, go into your AVR's menu to set up for the subwoofer(s). It really is easy to do and as I said, you can hook up two subs (again, if you unit has two!) if that is something you desire. I have two 10 inch subs on my home theater setup from my Denon AVR-X4300H that I bought at my local Best Buy a couple of years ago (Two 10 inch subs!) For my new Denon AVR-S660H I am using a Martin-Logan 10 inch Sub that I also bought a few years ago at Best Buy and it works great with this AVR. All the best!

Does this reciver have a center speaker hook up??

Nope! It is 2.2 Stereo (meaning 2 channels and up to 2 powered subwoofers). For that (i.e., the center speaker) you would need to move up the Denon line to one of their excellent AVR models!

I just got this model but when I plug my DVD player to phono input the sound is distorted. Is there something wrong on it? The cd and the other input is fine but I have to turn up the volume every time.

The phono input is designed for the low output of a record player (not using a built-in phono-preamp!) so you should be using one of the HDMI inputs for your DVD player (it will be marked on the HDMI Inputs as "2 DVD").

Doing so will pass video and audio from your DVD to your DRA-800H and from there via the output to your TV. marked as ".Monitor"

 Apple Watch Series 7 (GPS + Cellular) 45mm Midnight Aluminum Case with Midnight Sport Band - Midnight (Verizon) - (2021)
Apple Watch Series 7 (GPS + Cellular) 45mm Midnight Aluminum Case with Midnight Sport Band - Midnight (Verizon) - (2021)
The largest, most advanced Always-on Retina display yet makes everything you do with your Apple Watch Series 7 bigger and better. Series 7 is the most durable Apple Watch ever built, with an even more crack-resistant front crystal. Advanced features let you measure your blood oxygen level,¹ take an ECG anytime,² and access mindfulness and sleep tracking apps. You can also track dozens of workouts, including new tai chi and pilates.
 

Does it connect to your current phone? or does it need its own line?

As it is marked as GPS + Cellular, it has the necessary hardware to have its own cellphone line. It just means you don't need to carry your iPhone with you to make a call via this watch. I have a GPS only Apple Watch and when the iPhone is nearby and connected via Wifi?Bluetooth I can answer the call via my watch. Kinda sorta like Dick Tracy's 2-Way wrist TV. Well...kinda. Not sorta. LOL!

Either version of this watch will serve you well. So far, I don't really miss not having a watch that is also a standalone cell phone as I have my iPhone with me most of the day. And yes. The extra phone line for the watch will cost your whatever you carrier charges for another line.
