I thought it was OK. Not bad. But it couldn't have been good with as broken as TLJ was (which I enjoyed more than most, but even so it really put this trilogy in a horrid spot). I was just looking for them to wrap up the story as best as they could. I think they did. Had they had a unified...

I will say that when I was shopping for receivers a month ago, the HT shop did have some Sony ES. They seemed competitive at their price points.

We were amazed at how honest they were about things in the mid-80s and also late in Eiser's reign. No whitewashing there. They didn't connect the dots, but it does show why things were starting to seem pretty stale there for a while.

Well, if the ceiling effect speakers aren't properly secured somebody's going to be talking about the impressive percussive effects.

I'd say the guy needs to call a plumber. His upstairs bathroom is leaking onto his equipment.

I didn't realize they had done that- it was 5 years ago. In looking, apparently Denon/Marantz parent company (Sound United) was about to buy the combined Onkyo company but terminated that process. That would have left them and pretty much only Yamaha and Sony as standalone companies in the market.

You can tell the manufacturers are playing for that kind of thing- they'll publish weight specs, but when you pick the things up, they're amazingly front heavy. So they put a big thick faceplate on, but the power transformer is still made out of butter.

I know there has been a fair amount of consolidation in the home theater market, and Marantz and Denon are now owned by the same company. I'd not be shocked if there's been some corners cut in the last few years. Not saying others aren't cutting them too, but the two companies had great...

Yeah, I was a little nervous because Onkyo doesn't have the greatest reputation, but I figure it would be hard to underperform that Marantz. I'm hoping they (Onkyo/Integra) have learned a few things over the last few years. At least with a 3 year warranty I should be ok at least until 2023.

A little over a year ago I bought that refurb Marantz SR6012 from Accessories 4 Less and was pleased with how it handled my upgraded home theater. Over the last couple months I noticed some occasional issues- the receiver's video wouldn't sync up properly to the TV. I had suspected it was the...

Also using AppleTV (the 4K one). Haven't tried it on my older ATVs... need to. No issues- I find I'm not using the smart TV apps at all. I can see how they'd be useful, but sometimes they take a long time to get updated for new features. Besides, if I don't connect my TV to the internet at all...

Yeah, Samsung doesn't pay the fees to Dolby for their Dolby Vision HDR. It does support HDR10 and HLG. I don't think I've found anything that is DV only when it comes to HDR. It might be out there, I just haven't found it. I will say our QLED is the Q8f series, so it's one of their top end...

I can't speak to the Vizio, but we bought a Samsung QLED last year and we're very happy with it. If the other TV that sees a lot of use went out, I'd probably get another QLED in that room too.

Hey, with Disney+, I'm just waiting for the nephew and nieces to get here and I'll fire up Old Yeller.

When we're in bed, we don't want to see nature inside the RV. :p

Well, you escape the parts that are a pain in the rump. Disney movies usually aren't that.

We did much the same thing when we went camping (well, that was before Disney+, but you get the idea...). As to your issue... Is your HDMI adapter a genuine Apple one? One thing I realized when I was getting an adapter is that very VERY few of the third party ones are HDCP compliant- you can...

Nice to know they decided to deliberately ensure a good back end experience. Would that they got their act together in that way when it comes to park websites/apps.

Mine's been good here. I've actually had less issues with Disney+ than I ever had with Netflix.
