Rating:  - * Perfect! I found the right dock for my Ipod. ... I am very pleased with this purchase.I used it to dock my 160G Ipod Classic.Its not as loud as my hometheater but It does its job filling my bedroom with music.I don't need a hometheater loudness for my bedroom.It's not only an Ipod dock but it has a CD player and an AM/FM tuner.I tried using my USB 8G flashdrive,(I copied all my MP3 collection from my PC to to my flashdrive)and dock it to the usb on this machine and lo It reads all my MP3s and play it,I havent tried the SD/MMC slot yet.So many potentials.You can stream your music from PC via bluetooth.You can also answer cellphone calls on this machine.Cool!. Rating: - * Works with iPhone, kinda ... I bought this device to work with my new 3G iPhone via bluetooth. If you dock the iPhone in the craddle, it works great(even though it says if doesnt support it). But when I tried to connect it wirelessly thru bluetooth, it did not work. I did some research and realized I needed an A2DP adapter for my iPhone to transmit music wirelessly. So I got one off ebay for $25. But even then I had some trouble. Finally, I realized that I needed to turn the bluetooth OFF in the iPhone settings and let the A2DP transmitter do its thing. Then it worked. I had called Philips for support, but they were clueless and useless So, now that I've got it working, am happy with it. Although sound quality isnt great when transmitted via bluetooth. Sounds great when connected directly. Rating: - * BTM630 remote controls. ... Product funtions using chassis controls but not always with the remote. The remote can be used to turn the unit on and off but other functions do not always work. Rating: - * Pretty good overall ... All functions work as advertised.. most common complaint was the lack of power from the speaker, which was not an issue for me. I didn't expect to use the bluetooth function at all. But it turns out my laptop has bluetooth connection and I can use the BTM630 as an audio sink which provides MUCH MUCH better audio than my tiny laptop speakers. This was the most pleasant surprise. One touch ripping wasn't as useful as I thought since it only rips to USB/SDcard, but not the ipod directly. The remote control feels really cheap and plasticy.. but okay. the buttons are not the most user-friendly / intuitive.. so I had to refer to the manual often in the first month.. All in all, loads of *useful*functions for the price and good performance! I will recommend it to my friends for sure!! Rating: - * I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ... All I can saw is WOW!!! what a neat idea and great sound, great features.. I am so glad I found it.. It has changed my whole experience of music between, cell phones, ipod and pc.. now for once I can enjoy all of it through this awesome all in one sound system.. I can login to my sirius acct online and bluetooth to this unit while I am online or cooking or whatever while my laptop is on nearby.. I can also plug my Ipod right on top and get full access to all the ipod features via the remote control (menus, play, playlists, back, volume...etc..) and the sound is even better than the sirius radio.. Then I can play regular am/fm radio (which I have not done yet) I can play cd's, which is also awesome and I can even burn my music to a USB device.. I haven't tried it yet, but I assume I can burn to my external hard drives that have USB.. I will try that..My only wish would be for it to burn to cd and dvd of my playlists.. but my computer can do that so that's ok... Well I can see a future for this box...I can imagine the next one will play video from an Ipod on a larger screen, or play video from an external source like satalite, cable or dvd.. but I just wish it had a tivo/dvr type pause feature...even if just for sound...Just some wishes..but I can't complain for $159 at Sams Club..pretty awesome...I am happy...:) PS: I should also mention that this is one sharp looking box, it's compact, yet very stylish. It doesn't look or feel like a typical "boom box" It looks like something high tech and fits very nicely on my kitchen counter.. :) |
Each episode is self-contained, from "Decalogue I" ("I Am the Lord Thy God"), the touching story of a boy who starts asking the hard questions of life from his rationalist father and religious aunt, to "Decalogue X" ("Thou Shalt Not Covet Thy Neighbor's Goods"), a comic tale of estranged brothers who bond through a winding ordeal involving their father's priceless stamp collection. There are stories of tragedy and triumph, both expansive and intimate, some profoundly moving and others delicately shaded--but all are warmed by Kieslowski's sympathetic direction and his eye for resonant, fragile imagery. Initially drawn together by location--the series is set in a dreary Warsaw apartment complex--a web of associations forms as characters pass through other stories, sometimes only briefly, and themes reverberate through the series. The Decalogue is ultimately a personal spiritual investigation into the soul of man, a work of quiet attention and deep emotion marked by astounding images and vivid characters. Each volume is also available individually on VHS. --Sean Axmaker
