A serviceable item

I needed this item as an extension for sound equipment. It added enough length to the cord that I had and the price was reasonable.

An excellent value

I researched this product and decided to purchase it based on excellent reviews. When I purchased the unit, it was on sale, so I received an excellent value for my stereo system. The unit was easy to install in my receiver and has worked flawlessly since.

A very good audio experience
on February 15, 2017
Posted by: BAMcK
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this unit along with a new 4K TV, to replace an older model. It was simple to set up and connected with the TV's audio immediately. The only drawback is that I can't get the audio to completely synchronize with what one sees on the screen. The sound is often just a little off. A very easy unit to use and a very good addition to our home entertainment system.

I purchased this TV on Thanksgiving evening and have enjoyed watching programs in 55" ever since. I can see the difference with 4K, even when playing Blu-ray discs. The unit has lots of features and it's cool to be able to access my internet account on it.

This special box set celebrating the 50th anniversary of Star Trek includes all six of the original films series, which were released between 1979 and 1991 and starred William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, George Takei and the rest of the original USS Enterprise crew. All films have been digitally remastered and this set includes behind-the-scenes bonus features.

The Original Cast is still my favorite
on December 26, 2016
Posted by: BAMcK
Verified Purchase:Yes
This was a nice purchase, being able to get all six movies starring the Original Cast in one set. I had the movies on separate DVDs and now prefer to have Blu-rays. The picture is crisp and clear and it's been a joy to relive these episodes. The new movies are very good, but without this group, there wouldn't be the new series. If you're a fan of the Original Series and the cast, I recommend this set. A very reasonable price!

An economical unit
on November 27, 2016
Posted by: BAMcK
Verified Purchase:Yes
I needed a new amplifier / receiver when the unit I'd had for 20 years blew a circuit. I purchased this one because of the reasonable price and my satisfaction with buying at Best Buy. It has fewer connections than my former unit, but I don't have as many things to connect now, so that was okay. The radio reception with the supplied FM cord is acceptable. The only issue I had was with my turntable. I did not know that the receiver did not have a built-in pre-amp as my old unit had. I did have to purchase a separate pre-amp for it, and now the stereo set-up is complete. I do recommend the unit based on price, but be aware of the lack of a pre-amp if connecting a turntable to it.

Chances are that, had they not been resurrected for cable television in the early 1990's (and run regularly on AMC), the two Superman chapter-plays represented here -- Superman and Atom Man Vs. Superman -- would be complete anomalies to anyone under the age of 65 or 70. Owing to contractual restrictions on their distribution after their original releases, they were never revived for broadcast television in the manner of many of the Republic, Universal, and Columbia serials during the late 1950's and 1960's, nor were the re-edited as feature films in the way that most of the Republic serials and some of the Universal serials were; and unlike the two Batman serials of the 1940's, which were rushed back into theaters in 1966 to take advantage of the craze associated with the Adam West TV series, the Superman serials never saw another airing in theaters. Kirk Alyn's portrayal of the hero will still prove to be new to most people, and may take some getting used to -- he's not as physically imposing as George Reeves, or as good an actor as Christopher Reeve, but he brings a dancer and gymnast's approach to the role that is interesting and different, and does work; and within the limits of acting and portrayals that wer possible in serials, his Clark Kent is entertaining, if not as substantial as what George Reeves was able to do across six seasons of television. The film-to-video transfers -- all full-screen (1.33-to-1) -- are excellent, better than this reviewer remembers the serials looking on cable a decade earlier, and the sound is sharp and consistent; these serials, produced originally by Columbia Pictures, have been far better preserved than the same studio's two Batman serials of the same era. Each serial chapter gets a chapter marker on the DVD and the main bonus feature is a delight, a short entitled "Saturdays With Superman," telling of the character's leap to the big-screen, although they leave out the reason for the 10-year delay in bringing Superman to movies (which was partly a result of the Fleischer Studios' contract to do the Superman cartoons); they do convey the excitement that kids felt upon seeing the first serial, and some of the failed attempts at trying to show Alyn's Superman in flight (he basically turns into a cartoon when he takes to the air, but it's so well done -- reminiscent in many ways of the Fleischers' roto-scoping on their Superman cartoons -- that kids at the time forgave the "cheat"). And it's wonderful to see co-star Noel Neill discussing the two chapterplays in some detail, though one wishes that this featurette ran about 10 or 15 minutes longer and really delved into the pre- and post-history of the production. Still, these won't disappoint fans of the 40's (or even the 50's) version of the character, or the genre -- directors Spencer Bennet and Thomas Carr (who later helmed the first two seasons of the TV series starring Reeves) knew how to keep a plot moving, often like an express train barreing down a mountain, and some of the action sequences will still leave viewers breathless, especially as presented as well as they are here; it all makes one long to see how it really looked up on a 100-foot screen, the way kids saw it in 1948 or 1950.

A very good early look at Superman in the movies
on July 25, 2016
Posted by: BAMcK
Verified Purchase:Yes
I had always heard about Kirk Alyn as Superman, but hadn't had the opportunity to see these two 15-chapter serials. The budgets weren't generous, and the scripts were on the juvenile side, but Kirk Alyn did very well playing both Clark Kent and the Man of Steel. You can see how he influenced the actors who followed him in the dual role. I enjoyed watching these two serials.

A fun show

Although there are no super-villains, George Reeves plays a dynamic Superman and Clark Kent. Some of the effects are low value, but this was the 1950s after all. The actors are well-suited for their roles, and there are some very well-written episodes.

Is it possible for speakers to play while the headphones are plugged in?

No. Once you plug in the headphones, the external speakers are muted. That is stated in the Owner's Manual.
