An excellent light hearted musical based upon the Faustian premise of selling one's soul to the Devil. Look, they don't make 'em like this anymore because Hollywood has sold it's collective soul so take the time to buy this and enjoy it as often as you wish.
The print isn't the best but the songs, dancing and acting along with a baseball stage is what brings the smiles and the memories flowing back to a time when sports meant something because the players weren't prima donnas (apologies to Dion!).
Highly recommended because it is worthy it!

I got this for me to replace a Fire Tablet 10. I like it a LOT so far. Download speed per Speednet on my giga network (wireless) is 200 or so mbps.
It has my Amazon UHD Music on it. It has my SiriusXM on it. It has my Pandora One on it. It has a 256 gig microSD in it now and so it hase 16,000+ songs of my own on it. I can easily view a movie on it without any buffering problems and the picture is quite good? Sound? I use quality headphones and it outputs the music and movie soundtracks with superlative accoustified greatness.
LOL!
It smurfs the web just fine and travels anywhere I may wish to take it with ease.
I refuse to buy junque and that is why I bought this Samsung tablet: It is EXCELLENTE'!!!!

Years after it's release it is still a wonderfully funny flick! What more can you ask of a movie than to remain enjoyable through the years?
I have the Laser Disc but decided to buy the Blu Ray in the event my third (and last) Laser Disc Player goes the way of the Dodo. This is an excellent comedy and one that I have enjoyed over the years and firmly believe I shall continue to do so.
Oh, I know...I know. Some people just want to "stream" their movies. Well, when your Wifi goes buy buy (for whatever reason) I can still be enjoying my films on disc. Laser Disc. DVD. 4K UHD Blu Ray and Blu Ray.
So yup. I highly recommend this film and the price is right too.

I usually purchase Geek Squad coverage for myself and loved ones. Why? Because I, the purchaser of both the product and coverage, get peace of mind for very little outlay.
I had to use my coverage a few times and each of those times I received a new vacuum, cell phones, keyboard and all-in-one remote control because each of those items had failed.
Of course I immediately bought a warranty on the new items and once again I had (and gave) peace of mind.

I bought this for my daughter and her husband to use in their new home. I too have a Dyson vacuum and so I highly recommend this you those of you out there that may (and really SHOULD) be reading this excellent, albeit brief, review.
This thing flat sucks up dirt and pet hair. Mine does and my daughter says their Dyson does too! It's a vacuum and it vacuums like not other vacuum unless you're talking 'bout a Dyson vacuum!
Buy one! It really is THAT good at doing what a vacuum should do, i.e., VACUUM!
Trust me. My daugher, like her most excellent father (i.e., me) knows what she's doin' when she's reviewin'.

The Pioneer GM-DX874 four-channel amplifier will deliver up to 150 watts RMS to each of your front and rear speakers for powerful music. Highly efficient Class D technology keeps this powerful amp running as cool as it looks, and allows for a compact chassis that fits in a lot of out of the way spaces. The frequency response of this amplifier stretches up to 50,000 Hz, for Hi-Res Audio Certified playback. Pioneer uses high-grade electronic parts and gold-plated RCA connections to ensure maximum performance. Speaker-level inputs allow you to install this amp in a factory system with no RCA connections. The amplifier switches its input mode automatically when it detects the high-level signal, eliminating the need to run a turn-on lead to your receiver or fuse box. Built-in high- and low-pass filters let you adjust the sound for your vehicle's interior, whether you're driving speakers or subs.
Does this amplifier make a loud "POP!" when turning the audio system off or on, or does it have relays to prevent this annoying problem. I ask because the last time I put an amp in my truck (albeit years ago), the speakers did just that.

Apple - iPhone 11 Pro Max 256GB - Midnight Green (Verizon)
Shoot amazing videos and photos with the Ultra Wide, Wide, and Telephoto cameras. Capture your best low-light photos with Night mode. Watch HDR movies and shows on the 6.5-inch Super Retina XDR display – the brightest iPhone display yet.¹ Experience unprecedented performance with A13 Bionic for gaming, augmented reality (AR), and photography. And get all-day battery life² and a new level of water resistance.³ All in the first iPhone powerful enough to be called Pro.
Would anyone care to remark on how Apple CarPlay is compared to Android Auto? I have the latter and it kinda SUCKS as it often doesn't recognize the phone is plugged in or when I speak to it it will turn the radio UP LOUD and not hear me, etc? Thx!

Apple - iPhone SE (2nd generation) 256GB (Unlocked)
iPhone SE is the most powerful 4.7-inch iPhone ever.¹ Featuring A13 Bionic, the fastest chip in a smartphone, for incredible performance in apps, games, and photography. Portrait mode for studio-quality portraits and six lighting effects. Next-generation Smart HDR for incredible detail across highlights and shadows. Cinematic-quality 4K video. And all the advanced features of iOS. With long battery life² and water resistance,³ it's so much of the iPhone you love, in a not so big size.
Is Apple CarPlay any more reliable that Android Auto? Primary use is as a phone but when in my vehicles I use Android Auto for music and that app seems VERY "buggy", including connection problems out the wazoo! I have just about had it! Thx!

The dual-band channel supports wireless streaming, while the enhanced voice remote enables hands-free operation and lets you create personal shortcut buttons. This Roku Ultra HD TV streaming player includes JBL headphones to enjoy your content privately and an Ethernet port for a wired connection.
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?

This Sony BDP-S6700 Blu-ray player with 4K upscaling has built-in super Wi-Fi through MIMO. This lets you stream live from online services. Built-in Bluetooth and SongPal Link stream movies and music or connect your devices through HDMI, coaxial output, USB or Ethernet. This Sony Blu-ray player with 4K upscaling also offers child lock and parental controls.
I’m getting an error message stating that the BluRay and 3D BluRay discs I’m using are not compatible. I confirmed that they are Region A so could the issue be they I’m using a regular HDMI cable?
This is not a 3D capable player so it will not work on 3D discs. While there are bandwidth concerns for some 4K cables, I don't think this is a problem with Blu Ray discs. Of course I could be wrong and I have experienced problems with some Blu Ray and standard DVD where the player identifies the disc as unreadable and classifies it as a "CD-ROM". This upsets me no end as these discs worked fine in the past. If you wish to try a cable that is rated higher then you could purchase one meant for 4K data transfer rates (and NO! A fancy cable with really pretty connectors and the like is not needed, just the bandwidth transfer specs are) and see if it works but as this is a Blu Ray player that upscales to a faux 4K, that may not do a thing for you. I hope this helps.

Can I use a regular HDMI cable with this unit?
I don't see why not, so yes! I have heard and bought cables with different ratings but this is a Blu Ray player that can "upscale" (think "Faroudja line doubling") to 4K. My brother reports no problems so far with his and he doesn't have any special cables that I am aware of. And yes, he would tell me. So then. This is a great player and should have no problems working with a standard HDMI cable. I hope this helps!

I already have XM Radio, do I need to buy a new receiver?
You may have to have BB hook up your XM Tuner (if possible) to the unit. If that cannot be done and you want to use that feature you can purchase an XM Tuner from BB and have it connected to the device and then have SiriusXM switch your account over to the new tuner's I.D.
I have this Kenwood in my Mustang and I had them hook the XM roof antenna up with a pigtail to my portable SiriusXM player's cradle (connected to a spare input) and BAZINGA! It works great. I can also use my streaming account via my iPhone if I so choose but out n the middle of the Arizona desert I don't always have a 4G signal to stream music but I always have my SiriusXM satellite signal.

Is this radio compatible with an IPhone XR? Also meaning, that I don't want to have to use an USB port to connect my phone. Thanks, any info will be GREATLY appreciated.
This particular unit does not have Bluetooth Android Auto/Apple CarPlay capabilities. you will have to upgrade to a different model, otherwise it works absolutely flawlessly for me with the Blootoof hooked up and the Apple cable pllugged into the USB-A port. Flawlessly.

Yes! It works GREAT with my new iPhone SE and I had Android prior to that and Android Auto stunk with the two different phones I tried but CarPlay works flawlessly for me with this Kenwood and I would tell you otherwise. Like Superman said, I never lie.
At last... I am soooooooooooooooooo happy with my stereo now that I have the Applie iPhone SE and CarPlay!
