This Media Player is SUPERB! The only thing better than this is how well the installation was done by Best Buy.
There was a bit of difficulty fitting it in my Mustang but the Best Buy Install Tech, Dylan did an excellent job. The only "problem" was with my OEM Satellite antenna was not hooked up and instead the one that came with the new SiriusXM tuner I also bought at Best Buy was used.
I contacted BB and Dylan is going to remedy that for me soon and I am grateful for the superb installation he did on this unit!
It is nice to be able to play a CD when the mood strikes me and this unit works superbly with my iPhone 14 and Apple CarPlay. I have a physical handicap and the front and rear cameras that are connected to this really help me to park my car and again, I have Dylan to thank for that.
Highly recommended? Yes!

I bought this watch to replace a Withings that burned a watch shaped "tattoo" into my wrist. I am also handicapable and sometimes prone to falling and this watch will call for help if I happen to knock myself out or otherwise cannot get up.
The battery life is awful but I knew that going in. The watch itself is great as are the features.

I have had SiriusXM for nearly 20 years now and this is the nicest tuner yet! I had the XmP3 for several years and it was the only portable with a battery that allowed me to take it on walks but I needed a larger display and easy station acces so I went for the Onkyx!
It has been superb and plays 24 hours a day for years now without any problems. I have it installed in the SiriuxXM "boombox" (it can be plugged in or run on batteries!) and cant take the music outdoors with ease. I also have a car kit with the antenna lead securely connected to the OEM satellite antenna on the room of my Mustang and it works great allowing me to have uninterrupted access to music in the middle of nowhere!
Highly recommend!

What started out as a tiny imperfection after installation has grown up. It is a big bubble now and I am hoping it can be "squeegeed" away!
Otherwise the protection is excellent. I have a physical handicap and so this shield has to live up to its rep. So far, so good!

I needed a new phone as I have a physical handicap and when I fell this time, I fell hard down some stairs and broke my Motorola Stylus which had been a great phone and my favorite Android so far. But...
I decided to return to fApple for this iPhone 14 and the excellent nigh on faultless way CarPlay works. Additionally, this iPhone 14 is much faster than any phone I have owned to date. I don't play games on my phone but I do send photos to family and friends and this iPhone 14 is, as I said, the fastest yet at this task.
I may have to go back in as the screen protector now has a large bubble under it whereas when they first installed it at BB it had a very tiny one. Frustrating and not the fault of the iPhone 14. Highly recommended/

I now own and use ten of Denon's HEOS/Home series of wireless speakers. The newest versions are these Home 150 models and they are by far the easiest to set up and use.
They also have "buttons" on the top panel that makes it easy to have up to three presets assigned. So far I haven't the need but when I do it looks to be quite easy to do so.
These 150s can be used individually or as a stereo pair. It is also now possible to assign different models in the Home series (i.e., 150, 250 and 350) as stereo pairs. And it is EASY!
Denon's Application is very easy to use. I have it on iPhones, Android phones, iPads and an Amazon Tablet and it works superbly across those devices. My HEOS system allows me to play music from my Pandora, SiriusXM and Amazon Music UHD accounts with ease and I can send that music to my speakers or different services to different speakers. I can even wireless send my CD players music (a new Onkyo 6 disc player I bought here at BB!) or even my records!
Yup! I can send the output of my turntable to any speaker or speakers in our home, wirelessly. Denon's Home 150 speakers and their HEOS system is without a doubt the best I have experienced. I have given Denon and HEOS/Home 150s to my older brother and his wonderful wife. It really is easy and the sound is superb! And unlike some companies, to date all of Denon's HEOS speakers are backward COMPATIBLE for use with the newer Home series of speakers. Denon is my choice in home entertainment!
The new Home 150s are now a part of our home system and my brother and his wife's too! Trust me on this. I know what I'm doin' when I'm reviewin'.

I have owned one of these excellent CD players for a few years now and decided rather than buy a new singled disc player I would get this one.
Just like the one I have owned for years, this new Onkyo works superbly. It fits well in the new TV/Entertainment stand I also just bought from BB. It was easy to hook up and fill with discs and hit "RANDOM" and settle back with an icy cold "non-adult beverage"!
It also looks great! I cannot hear any difference unless a piece of equipment is so poorly made or defective and this Onkyo is not that. It is well made and relatively "heafty". I have a Sony 300 Disc player for about 10 years now and it too works great but when I get new CDs or just want to hear a favorite right away, this changer is my go to workhorse. Highly recommended?
Yup! How can anything built with such quality be anything but highly recommended? No complaints here!

This excellent stand took my son about 4.5 hours to assemble. I am a handicapable seasoned citizen and so it was too difficult for me and he was kind enough to do this.
The stand is great and my only reason for not giving it 5 stars is my stand had scrapes and discoloration/mottling on it and some of the hardware just would NOT easily fit.
It fits now but the box was undamaged but the stand was, as I said, scraped and just oddly/weirdly almost unacceptably scraped up.
It holds my Denon AVR-X4300 (bought at BB!) and my 400 disc BluRay changer and a new Klipsch center channel speaker (a gift from one of my brothers!) and a 55" Samsung CURVED(!) TV (also bought at BB!). And more to come.
I was considering up-sizing to a 70" curved TV but the largest sold at Best Buy is "only" a 65". I may give in but we shall see.
This unit is nice looking, very sturdy, somewhat difficult to assemble due to size but possible. Nothing was damaged buy us, we opened the box and my son began assembling it and as he went we noticed the scratches and markings and discoloration. It isn't the end of the world but I had my last stand for over 30 years and if this really bugs me I hope that I can exchange it within the 60 days I have.
If not, oh well. It would likely be a bigger pain in the buttocks to do that than to just turn a blind eyes as the saying goes.
Highly recomended? Yuppers! Especially at the wonderful sale price! Trust me. I know what I'm doin' when I'm reviewin'.

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!

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!
