Works fine BUT---

I bought this to use with my old XP as the 2 previous Seagate 3T drives that worked with my XP were getting full. To my surprise it would not work with XP, only W7 and above, so I am using with my W8.1.

I like Owen Wilson and this movie did not disappoint me. It is about a family that takes a job in a third world south east Asian country just as major upheaval begins so they must escape with two young children.

Strong suction
on April 3, 2016
Posted by: ebme
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this to replace an old Hoover upright that was not getting the job done anymore. It works well but the suction is so strong that if you set the carpet for too low of a carpet on a low carpet you can hardly move the thing as it is sucked to the carpet. Others speak of messy to empty but I find it no problem, just be sure to be over the trash container before opening the dust bin then rinse with a garden hose or in a laundry tub or similar.

bright picture

A very bright picture with good resolution. The remote that comes with it is silly IMO and awkward to use with few buttons and on screen menus, but it can still be used with an old regular Sammy remote or a programmable can be used for discrete commands.

This Sony BDPS5500 Blu-ray player's Wi-Fi lets you stream media. To build a complete 3D home theater system, we recommend you purchase a 3D TV, 3D glasses designed for the TV, high-speed HDMI cable and an A/V receiver that is compatible with 3D products.

OK for the price

Verified Purchase:Yes
This was bought to replace an older unit that died. It works fine for the price but it is disappointing that many new Blu-ray players only have HDMI output as it makes it difficult to use with older TVs with component or composite.

I have used several slingboxes and this one works as expected. Slingboxes are great for viewing your home cable, directv, or whatever audio/video source from your home on the web where ever there is web available. This one required a new download program than my others.

good for basic networks
on October 11, 2014
Posted by: ebme
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this unit to replace the one supplied by the ISP. Their unit was slower than this one and quit working often and replaced a few times. Also the monthly rent for the ISP modem pays for this one quickly.
The Netgear set up is easy and can be configured for a basic system with out a lot of knowledge. I have set up several Netgear routers & modems and they are mostly simular in set up.
I did have a problem with this one but support was very good with help and it appears so far the problem was the power supply.

Enjoy touch screen connectivity in the car with this Pioneer multimedia DVD receiver. Android and iPhone apps function seamlessly, and it streams high-end audio from Pandora, Spotify, Sirius XM or HD Radio. Use Bluetooth to connect two smartphones to this Pioneer multimedia DVD receiver so both driver and passenger can answer calls hands-free.Geek Squad® installation is strongly recommended for this product. Please visit your local Best Buy store for details.
 

Can I wire the back up camera to run all the time on this pioneer?

The camera is activated by a wire to the backup light switch (shifter in reverse) so it could be wired to all the time power or a manual switch. What other functions that would over ride would need to be tested. There is also another video/camera input that could be used and selected from the menu.

I was told this would operate my Samsung UBD-K8500 4k player, but I can't for the life of me figure out how.

It works with all my newer Sammys. Go to MENU on the Directv box and select remote set up

Is this TV able to be wall mounted? I could not ind anything in the user's manual and want to make sure before purchasing. If it can, what is the VESA mounting pattern, if known\?
I have wall and lift mounted a couple of these. If memory serves it is 400 x 400.
