The Music. It's about what it was like for America when the so-called age of innocence was reaching twilight. The Music was fantastic and this film catches a glimpse of what that was like. What passes for music today is cRap. There. I said it because it needs saying.
Not everything about the 60s was great but the early Music of the times including the Beach Boys, the Beatles, and so many of the great "Girl Groups" like the Ronettes made music that gave meaning to those years. T
his film captures that time. It is worth the price of admission, whether or not you were there.

It looks are period piece perfect. It's reproduction of music is excellent!
I have paired it (fittingly) with a Crosley Keepsake Deluxe for vinyl listening and it does a fine job! As for digital music?
Amazon Music Unlimited plays superbly as do a whole bunch of other sources. At this very moment I am enjoying Harry Belafonte's joyous singing of "Dance Senora". It sounds wonderful!
This was a purchase I made for me. It's not always about me but when it is I get what I want. I think some of you may want this speaker too.

A love story that like so many before it, is at once predictable and altogether engaging. The two leads are wonderful and the supporting actors and actresses are more than believable in their respective roles.
I have seen this many times on TV and since I no longer watch "TV" (just movies!), I bought this without hesitation.
Highly recommended? Yuppers!

This is an excellent film with fine performances all around. The Blu Ray edition is more than sufficient. I say this having purchased a few 4K versions of older films only to find that the results do NOT justify the added expense of 4K.
I only purchase films I either know I will watch multiple times or at the least hope to. Having already seen this film a few times I knew it was the latter of those two possibilities.

This Western is one of the top ten of all time and Val Kilmer's performance is praise worthy beyond the silly Oscars. The Blu Ray is more than up to the film and even were it to come out in a 4K version I would not be interested in trading "up".
Very highly recommended.

...This thing would not work! No electricity except for the kind where Benjamin Franklin and his kite were concerned. Having said something ridiculous to get your attention I shall now be serious.
Oster's Air Fryer Toaster Oven (aka the OAFTO) is fantastico! Superb-A-Mundo! Excellente'! Totally bitchin', dude!
It does exactly what it claims to do. Cooks and cooks well. The timer works. The temperature settings in nigh on spot on (checked it myself with a gauge!) and here's something it never claimed that it does well.
Chicken wings? Check!
Steak? Check!
French Fries and Tator Tots? Double check?
Ice Cream? Ummmm...Don't ask. ;-)
Makes me happy I bought it. Highly recommended? Indeed.

Look, I despise being MADE to give out PII (Personally Identifiable Information) and on top of that my credit card # and code for sue but that is exactly what Roku demands for setup of this device.
Not comfortable with doing that at all and so I returned it the next day. To Hades with that.
I think Roku does it so they can get a kickback from service provides by billing them "for you". Again, no thank you, Roku.
So long as this is the way they are playing, I ain't playing. If this doesn't bother you, fine. I imagine it's a good choice although I must admit that I NEVER claim to "love" an inanimate object like this device but here we have people saying they "love it!". Pfffffft! I reserve love for family, friends and maybe pets, but a Roku streaming device? Ridiculous.
I'm taking my credit card and PII and going home to listen to music instead of watching stupid TV.
For the record, this was to be for my wife. I HATE television, LOL! I do NOT recommend this at all.

Does my Total Tech cover me returning this TV or not? I just reset it to wipe out my streaming services. I give up. Hisense has not done squat for me. I am still a fan of Best Buy, just not this TV.

My TV has a horrid "mosaic" affect on deep blacks that cannot be adjusted away. Also, this new TV "communicates" with my Denon AVR and turns on the AVR and starts turning on media players like Blu Ray and UHD Disc players. I hate this!!! HELP!!!!!

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!

Is amazon music icon available or can I only use Amazon music through Bluetooth?

I have Pandora Plus, SiriusXM and Amazon Music Unlimited Ultra HD on my iPhone (and previously on my Android phone) and the icons show up fpr me and I have no problem playing any of those services on my Kenwood unit via CarPlay. It works great!

I hook the phone up to Blootoof and attach the Apple cable to my phone (it is plugged into the Kenwood via a USB-A cable) and BAZINGA! I have access to the aforementioned services via CarPlay.

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.

Will it work with an apple phone

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!
