I got this for my brother and his wonderful wife! And...Wait for it...Waaaaait...Just a little longer...The REALLY like it!!!!!!!!!!
They grow probably 75% of their food themselves as my brother is a vegan (no...He's a good vegetarian, one that doesn't jump in my face for eating meat. He is not a grumpy, judgeMENTAL vegen, LOL! He enjoys what he eats and his wife is an excellent cook and again, they grow around 75% of their food in their back yard!
And I LOVE my brother and his wife and son, so I bought 'em this little device. They have already begun using it for herbs and the like and soon they will start doing tomatoes and if I'm lucky, some apricots for me! Doggie treats for our most excellent Labratard pooch! Artificial beef jerky treats?! Real beef jerky treats?! Banana Chips?! Apples?! The list is only limited by your imagination and taste buds! Who knows what else they'll be sucking the liquid out of with this most excellent Food Dehydrator from my abso-freakin'-lutely favourite (note the cultured European spelling!) electronics store - Best Buy.
I was told this thing really works great and they could not be happier with this gift and that is the entire purpose of giving something to someone you care about: Making them happy!
I even got them the two year extended warranty! Why? Because I LOVE them, that's why? And it was affordable peace of mind to boot. Look, I'm not just any major dude but I will tell you, this thing (per my brother and his wife) is FANTASTIC!
I am no cook, let alone a chef (well...Maybe along the lines of Chef Boyardee or Chef Tell!) but from what they tell me this thing is a quality piece of equipment and it gets the job done. What more could anyone want from a Food Dehyrdator?
Highly recommended? Yuppers!

...What can I say. Look my friends, I have been a video fiend for decades. I have had VHS, S-VHS, Laser Disc, DVD, Blu-Ray and now 4K.
I have over a thousand films on all of the aforementioned formats and have enjoyed (and will continue to enjoy) them all. I don't buy films unless I am CERTAIN I will view them a lot more than just "once or twice". Example?
I have seen my absolute favorite film, "Kingdom of Heaven" well over 100 times. I have seen my second favorite film, "Quo Vadis" well over 100 times. I have seen all of the "Thin Man" series of films well over 100 times. Musicals such as "Oklahoma" and "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers"? Well over 100 times. And the bestest part of it all?
They are mine now. And I can watch them whenever I want to.
"Captain Marvel" is now a part of my collection of films, which by the way, goes back to the 1920s. I do not buy poop. I buy that which makes me smile, laugh and sometimes..."think". Yup. I like to smile. I like to laugh. And movies are meant to do that. Don't believe me then I suggest you watch the excellent "Sullivan's Travels". Then you will know why.
This film, "Captain Marvel" is a fine edition to my life. It's fun. It's silly. It's fun. Did I mention it's "FUN"? Well it is.
I highly recommend it.

My beard could be on the face of Kal El. It is that difficult to shave it. But these blades, whilst not the famed "Sword of Damocles" are still rapier like in their sharpness and are therefore able to slice through my Kyryptonian stubble with ease.
Yeah... I know a bit over the top but I just wanted to make you all aware that they are worth the expense. Highly recommended!

The Pioneer GM-DX874 four-channel amplifier delivers 100 watts RMS at 4 ohms to each of your front and rear speakers for powerful music. CTA-2006 compliant, this highly efficient Class D technology provides impressive, high-quality power in a compact chassis. The frequency response extends up to 50,000 Hz, supporting crystal-clear Hi-Res Audio Certified playback. The GM-DX874 uses high-grade electronic components and gold-plated RCA connections to ensure maximum performance. You can configure your amplifier into 3-channel mode (4 ohm loads) to create a strong front soundstage (2x 75 watts RMS) with tight bass from the bridged subwoofer (1x 300 watts RMS). The speaker-level inputs allow you to install this amp in a factory system without RCA connections. Built-in high-pass and low-pass filters let you optimize the sound for your vehicle's interior. A wired bass control remote also lets you easily control the amount of bass from the subwoofer output (SW).
 

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.

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.~ Experience unprecedented performance with A13 Bionic for gaming, augmented reality (AR), and photography. And get all-day battery life~ and a new level of water resistance.~ 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!

And all the advanced features of iOS. With long battery life~ and water resistance,~ 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!

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?

 Sony - BDP-S6700 Streaming 4K Upscaling Wi-Fi Built-In Blu-ray Player - Black
Sony - BDP-S6700 Streaming 4K Upscaling Wi-Fi Built-In Blu-ray Player - Black
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!

And get all-day battery life~ and a new level of water resistance.~ 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!

I am the person that asked this question and now that i have bought the iPhone SE and have used CarPlay in my Dodge Ram I shall answer it as no one else appears to ha e been able to do so.

Yes. CarPlay and this new 2nd Gen iPhone SE works a whole lot BETTER than does Android Auto and my Motorola Z3 Play. Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

Does unlocked phone means I can put my own sim in it

I put the SIM from my unlocked Motorola Z3 Play into the iPhone SE (2nd Gen) and it works great. It was so easy even I could do it.
And I did!

Does the iPhone SE (2020 - 2nd generation) have the infamous notch?

No.

I have NOT seen a "notch" infamous or otherwise. The phone works and looks just fine.
