    HK AVR 3600 dissapoints, October 4, 2011

    This review is from: Harman Kardon AVR 3600 7.1 Channel 3D Ready A/V Receiver with iPod/iPhone Dock (Electronics)

    11-28-11. After returning 2 of these units to Harmon Kardon for the same issues (see below)and having to pay shipping ($44) once, HK thoughtfully upgraded me to an AVR3650, all at their cost. None of the issues with the 3600 were ever resolved, but the 3650 is a whole different animal. All problems with the 3600 are corrected to some degree. I give HK a big pat on the back for dealing with these problems and making me a satisfied customer again.

    ////////////////////////////////////////////

    I purchased the AVR 3600 5 months ago after a long research process. My past history with HK receivers probably colored my research, as I have never had a bad one, and I have owned 3 over the years, and had them all in service for 6 years each. The 3600 directly replace an HK AVR635 that is a serious monster performer, but lacks current technology, and connectivity (hdmi etc.). Yesterday the 3600 went back to HK for repair or replacement with shipping at my cost.

    From day one the hdmi has glitches. It works well playing discs, but streaming, the video drops every 10-20 seconds, accompanied by audio drops of 5-10 seconds. There is a workaround for this and that is hdmi bypass. in bypass mode the unit will not display onscreen menus.

    The processing is very slow. Video takes a couple seconds to respond after coming out of pause, but the worst is audio lags for 2-5 seconds more. After a pause I will miss 3 or 4 words in the dialogue.

    Most features work adequately. Firmware update is easy. I don’t have an I-device so i can’t comment. I miss S-video inputs, as my satellite receiver is a dinosaur, and uses them. I am forced to use composite and the quality is further reduced. The up scaling works reasonably well, but lacks the proper image sizing options, so i end up with cropping, stretching, or top/bottom, and or side bars.

    Lately, the unit has been going into protect mode on cold starts. HK tech suggested removing the speakers one at a time to eliminate them as a source of the problem. It didn’t. Along with this issue the sound is beginning to degrade. Higher levels of static are coming from all the speakers, when the volume is set low, or no source is playing. Yesterday it was returned for repair or replacement. I re installed the 635, which is a much better machine. The amp section is beefier, and the overall build quality is better in my opinion. The sound is also better with better range, separation, and signal to noise. I think this speaks loudly of the quality of consumer electronics today. Feature rich, but poor execution, and poor build quality. Not just this product, but i see reviews for similar products with similar problems.

    Overall I would not recommend this unit. It has to many bugs, and build quality issues. I am waiting for my replacement unit, and I will update this if problems are resolved. I hope HK can improve this product in it’s next form. They need to go back to making the high end burly excellent sounding products of yesteryear with new features included. I for one will pay the price for a product that works until it is obsolete!

    Best receiver in price range., August 3, 2010
    This review is from: Harman Kardon AVR 3600 7.1 Channel 3D Ready A/V Receiver with iPod/iPhone Dock (Electronics)

    This reciever is incredible. I am running Bowers and Wilkins (B&W) 600 series speakers with it, and it sounds amazing. You hear incredible clarity. I had an older model that the HDMI port stopped working on, and I sent it back to HK and they shipped me this model which is quite a bit nicer than the old model I had.

    The video quality on this is quite nice– I run all my video sources into the receiver with HDMI (xbox 360, PC, blu-ray, dish/tivo) and run one HDMI cable to the TV. But… you should buy this reciever for the SOUND. It does have 7.1 but nothing really uses this format, so the extra $500 or so on those 2 extra speakers isn’t worth it IMHO. It also has a second zone, which I’m using for speakers that are wired to my patio.

    I ordered a second unit (the 2600 model) for an additional living room. If you have small (bookshelf) speakers consider the 2600 model– the 3600 model is great for tower speakers. It puts out plenty of power, the HK receivers are high-current, so 85 watts in an HK is way more than 100 watts in a Sony. The sound clarity is excellent, and I recommend pairing it with high-quality speakers (B&W 600 or CM series are an excellent choice).

    I’ve had this AVR for about a week now and am very statisfied. I updated from the HK AVR635 which I had for about 3 years. The sound is great and the new onscreen menu is a million times better than there old one. I have to say that being able to run HDMI has gotten rid of quite a few cable. The only problem I’ve had is some sound delay. I was having the video feed passed straight through as all my components put out 1080p or 1080i. I have since turned that off and let the processor on the reciever do it’s thing and it’s seemed to fix the problem. The EZ/EQ is good but still requires a little tweaking. I had to turn down my sub and raise my rear channels up. Also love the ipod bridge. I don’t have an Ipod but my friends plugged in and sounded great. I plan on getting an Ipod touch and will update on how the video feed looks from that. The remote seems of good quality and is backlit at the touch of a button. I have a Univeral Remote so not much feedback other then that. Last but not least it is a very attractive looking.

    This review is from: Bettie Page by Olivia (Hardcover)

    I purchased this book for my Granddaughter who is into collecting 40’s and 50’s memorabilia, and especially likes Bettie Page. The book is beautiful and full of gorgeous color pictures. My Granddaughter has it in her beauty salon (Rock A Betties in El Cajon, CA) and everyone who looks at it flips out. I’m very pleased that I purchased it for a gift, and Amazon rocks for getting it here quick!

    A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN, February 24, 2007

    This review is from: Bettie Page by Olivia (Hardcover)

    BETTIE PAGE BY OLIVIA – If you thought that the pairing of the world’s premiere pin-up artist Olivia, and the most celebrated pin-up model Bettie Page, would be a match made in Heaven, you would be one-hundred percent correct. Like peanut butter and chocolate, the two were made for each other. Bettie Page by Olivia is a brand new book from Ozone Productions featuring over 50 paintings of the reclusive Ms. Page by Olivia.

    Hugh Hefner provides the foreward to the book that gives Page & Olivia fans 80 pages of delectable art. Why Hefner? Well who better? Page appeared as a centerfold in the magazine in the 50’s and many of Olivia’s Page paintings first appeared in Playboy.

    Several pieces are what I call progression pieces. We get to see Olivia’s preliminary pencil sketches on one page and the finished painting on the next. A great example of this is on the painting entitled The Substitute, as it’s a Bettie in thigh-high leather boots and black mini skirt taking over the classroom as the new teacher.

    “Hot Sauce” will sure to be a favorite among fans as Bettie is decked out in a provocative devil outfit: red leather boots, arm-length red gloves, and red leather bra and panties, complete with devil horns and a little tail. The two pieces with Bettie dressed up in a French Maid’s outfit are also sure to please her legions of fans.

    An index in the back of the book provides the title of each painting as well as the medium in which it was completed, and where the piece originally appeared. Kudos to Ozone for including the index, something that is agonizingly lacking in many art collection books.

    There’s something for every Bettie fan to be found within these pages. Fetish fans will love Bettie, again all in red leather, riding crop in her teeth, or the piece entitled “Rawhide” where cowboy Bettie is getting a spanking from a gorgeous blonde Indian maiden.

    The icing on the cake in “Bettie Page by Olivia” is an ultra-rare interview with Page, now in her eighties, conducted by I.S. Levine. In the interview, Page talks about her rural upbringing in Tennessee, as well as how she first broke into modeling. While Page was one of Playboys earliest centerfolds (1955) she didn’t meet Hugh Hefner until some forty years later in 1996. It’s a short, but fascinating interview.

    Rounding things out, Olivia shares her own feelings on Bettie and what makes her such an intriguing subject, not only for her own work, but also for all the Bettie fans around the world. It’s a magnificent book. Cliché as it may be to say, this is simply a must have for fans of Bettie page or Olivia.

    This review is from: Bettie Page by Olivia (Hardcover)

    It’s not a bad collection, but to be honest I was disappointed with the quality of print. Colors seem to vary from page to page, this isn’t a publication problem; just really a poor collection of plates to print from. I know this as I have worked in printing to spot this.

    To be honest it’s a neither yes or no. I returned this for a refund as I thought it was over priced for what I got.

    I think a lot of others have been happy with it. Personally I’d look elsewhere for a different collection in print.
