Beam Transfer OpticsThe Laser Guide Star Facility (LGSF) provides the telescope Adaptive Optics (AO) facility with a source of coherent light for the optical excitation of the mesospheric sodium layer to enable the production of an artificial beacon source or "guide star". The LGSF subsystems are: the Laser System, Beam Transfer Optics (BTO), Laser Launch Telescope (LLT), and Safety Systems.
The Beam Transfer Optics (BTO) subsystem of the LGSF relays the laser beam(s) from the output of the Laser System to the input of the Laser Launch Telescope (LLT). The BTO include multiple mirrors, lenses, and beam splitters, as well as various sensors and diagnostic equipment. The part of the BTO that relays the laser beam from the Laser System to the top-end ring of the telescope is called the BTO Optical Path (BTOOP), while the part of the BTO that is located behind the LLT is called the BTO Optical Bench (BTOOB).
Below is a schematic view of the full BTO on the telescope, and a drawing of the optical elements of BTOOP and BTOOB:
Beside relaying the laser light from the laser to the LLT, other BTO functionalities include slow and fast compensation of telescope flexures and laser beam jitter, laser beam quality monitoring, beam shuttering, and laser polarization control. Beam alignment inside the BTO can be monitored at any time using a total of six video cameras imaging the EFM, TPM, TCM, TRM, FSA and LLT primary mirror assemblies. An example of such an image is shown below:
BTOOPThe laser exits the laser service enclosure as a single beam. It first travel through the "laser output box", where the safety shutter and polarizing optics are located. Next, the beams travel through the BTO "torque tube" heading straight to the Elevation Fold Mirror (EFM) that redirects it to the Truss Pointing Mirror (TPM). TPM sends the beam up along the telescope truss to the Truss Centering Mirror (TCM) where it is redirected to the Truss Fold Mirror (TFM). After reflection on TFM the laser beam pass through three relay lenses used to image the output of the laser system onto the LLT entrance pupil. It then reaches the Top-end Ring Array (TRA), which is a combination of 4 beams splitter and a mirror, that actually divide the single 50W beam, into the 5 x 10W beams. At that points, the 5 beams are vertically aligned, and they are crossing the primary mirror of the telescope behind the spider, in a laser vane duct up to the BTO Optical Bench (BTOOB).
The combination of EFM, TPM, TCM and TRA provides open-loop compensation of the telescope flexures via an elevation-based look-up table (LUT) to maintain alignment of each laser beam relative to the narrow, 12mm-wide laser vane duct. The split of the single 50W beam into the 5 x 10W beams is done by TRA.
BTOOBInside the BTOOB, the five beams are received by the Fast Steering Array (FSA) which steers each of them independently to the X-Shaping Array (XSA) where the final five-star X-shaped laser constellation is formed. Finally the beams are reflected off the Centering Mirror (CM), pass through the BTOOB K-Mirror (KM), and are eventually reflected off the Pointing Mirror (PM) into the Laser Launch Telescope (LLT) for projection to the sky. A mirror can be inserted in the laser path between KM and PM so as to divert the laser light onto a power meter, thus enabling laser propagation through the entire BTO (minus PM) without projection to the sky. The entire BTO path is enclosed in tubes for safety reasons mainly, and the path is flushed with clean air to minimize dust deposition on BTO optics and prevent coating damage.
Fast Steering Array (FSA)X Shaping Array (XSA) Pointing and Centering Mirrors (PM & CM)The Pointing Mirror (PM) and Centering Mirror (CM) are used to (respectively) aligned the constellation on the sky, and center the beams on the LLT. While telescope is tracking, we are using a LUT for PM/CM that keeps both the constellation and the location of the beams on the LLT well centered versus elevation and flexure. A second LUT controls the position of PM/CM vs. the K-Mirror position.
K Mirror (KM)Laser Launch Telescope (LLT)Below it's an image of the LLT when it has been installed on the telescope.
Laser ConstellationThe 5 beams are send in a constellation with 4 LGS on the corner of a 60 arcsec square, plus one in the center. This constellation rotates on the sky to compensate for field rotation using the BTO K mirror (see K-mirror). The position of each LGS can be adjusted by few arcseconds in the sky by using a combination of five tip-tilt platforms: the Fast Steering Array (FSA)

Aug 17, 2012have to agree with your '44' concensus. this movie was all action and cgi and precious little story/substance. how come arnold is such a so-so actor yet so watchable? glad 1) he's out of my state government and 2) back in the movie biz

Sep 2, 2012"But those hoping for a real head trip - a truly cerebral Dick adaptation - will have to keep waiting."
forever i'll add to this review...
This movie has nothing that reminds P.K.Dick and is not even funny as it's predecessor, basically a shame -
Jun 28, 2013Good action movie I guess. It starts to raise a cool premise, but then almost immediately abandons it in favor of CGI sequence after CGI sequence. The epitome of American "cinema". It's definitely a movie for teenagers. Sorry, guys. When I saw who directed it (Underworld clown) I was no longer surprised at what I got. A cool premise, but not much more, just like Underworld.

Aug 11, 2012The visuals were spectacular. The plot was weak. The dialogue was even weaker. If you are really into mindless action and great special effects you'll like it. If you need more you won't.

Jan 6, 2013What a disaster of a movie! the movie reminded me of a bad copy of "balde runner" with a mix of the prequel "star wars". The whole movie consists of the main character running, shooting. getting into a corner. and once again shoot their way out of it. The remake of total recall was worse then the orginal.
Apr 19, 2013
Feb 9, 2013The CGI was impeccable. Kate Beckinsale pulls off a brilliant character. But ultimately, it wasn't a very memorable movie. The plot was unimaginative, and the supporting characters were all archetype.

Aug 6, 2012I love this movie. I remember the original very well and the major plot elements of this version didn't vary much from the original. That aside, everything else was different and new.. I loved the story, ceaseless action, special effects, and stunts. It's the perfect movie for any adrenalin junkie that will hold your attention from beginning to end.
Aug 28, 2012Paul Verhoeven's Total Recall is much much better than this remake version. I pretty enjoy this, its modern set piece but its third act is total disaster. Will always leave you bad memory.
Aug 8, 2012Went in with low expectations considering the critics' opinions. Got what I expected, too. Took only minor cues from the original and even those got lost in the breaking glass. Never once thought 'hmm, is this real or recall" I just thought "3 good looking stars does not a movie make." Epitome of mediocrity.
Aug 5, 2012Massive disappointment. Bland, soulless action and forgettable characters. A real pity and a waste of a good cast. Somehow everything that made the original good and fun is missing here. What's even more frustrating is that it has an interesting and intriguing set up that is so utterly let down by a never ending stream of identical fights and chases as to make any memories of story distant.

Nov 13, 2012As youy read this you should know that i have not watched the first movie!! Shock!! Horror!! I know where have i been hiding all these years!! With that asside i thoroughly enjoyed this movie and is definitely going to be added to my DVD collection. All parts are well acted, the story is gripping and there is certainly enough action going about to keep you interested and rooted to your seat.
Nov 30, 2012this movie is good, but it isn't the better that I watched, I like Collin Farrel, he was good, but the problem of the film every time is action, but it is a good movie
Nov 22, 2012
Aug 19, 2012I think this version of total recall is pretty cool. Yes is not as good as the original but i liked it too. All the actor s and actresses were good, specialy Kate and Jessica!!! ;) And the theme of this movie is vere interesant, yes it is different but i think its good
Oct 13, 2012
Nov 1, 2012Despite all the critics I watched the movie(s) in a row and this new one is much much much better than the first one. Creativity, action, storyline, music, everything was top. I really enjoyed the movie. One of those "sci-fi" movies! Thanks and RIP Philip K. Dick
Nov 5, 2012The main character in Total Recall is a man who's lost his identity, but the film is not about him rediscovering it. Yes, that's part of it, but Recall is about the well paced, gritty sci-fi action. It doesn't want us to think, just to enjoy.
Aug 5, 2012Doesn't hold a candle to the original, which was so full of original ideas that could be exploited here. Sure, it looks fantastic, but it's just dry and boring. It's missing the camp that I loved so much about the original. You know you're in trouble as a moviegoer when you first check your watch at about 45 minutes in.
Aug 6, 2012Besides the good characters and the action thrills, this movie is an unnecessary remake to the original as what preview critics would say. Mars, memory and life were the main themes in the original movie, but this one just doesn't seem to have those good ones, not even the setting of Mars. This looks and feels like Star Wars meets Blade Runner and Minority Report.
Aug 8, 2012
Aug 5, 2012Excellent movie with an amazing cast and CGI. Remake is'nt not the same and enjoyed the experience more than the first. I missed a few famous quotes from the original movie but otherwise I can say anything bad about the movie. Its a must see for any syfy fan. I liked it better than Batman, personally
Aug 6, 2012I don't feel that this Total Racall is superior to the original. The first hour is incredibly fun with some great story and action thrills. After that it becomes very slow. Its got some other positives like the fact that despite reusing a few things from the original it still feels somewhat new. The script could be a lot better. Its a little fun but its more worth a rental once it is on DVD.

Apr 29, 2013This is easily one of the worst movies ever made on planet Earth. It was boring, corny, stupid, it had bad acting, and the runtime felt an hour longer than it really was. What a total ripoff money grab. I wish I didn't have to say this, but Total Recall, is Total Crap.
Aug 4, 2012This movie was amazing! It's a fresh take more true to the book rather than just copying the original. I have to say that I had this fantasy in my mind about how fantastic the original one was so I rewatched it a couple of months ago. Let's face it, those special effects are over 20 years old. This version was non-stop action, great acting and fresh! A must see!

Aug 10, 2012I really enjoyed the movie. Not sure what the professional reviewers are complaining about. Wasn't too thrilled with Kate Bs accent. Also could have been a bit more clear on which location is which between Britain and the Colony. Otherwise it was a fun romp and definitely worth seeing.

Total Recall is a visually dazzling and well done remake that has a great cast and impressive action sequences. Fans of the action and Sci-Fi genre will surely enjoy this remake of the well-loved cult classic. -
Sep 26, 2012
Sep 4, 2012I'd be lying if I said I wasn't slightly disappointed by this. It's a pretty serviceable action film, but other than that? There's none of the original film's wit or intelligence here, and the few subtle references to it are just nostalgia for that better film. But, i mean, its watch-able, but as a remake of the Total recall we all loved, it has to go down as a big failure.

P.S- the gravity cable gun thing is F***ing awesome! -
Aug 14, 2012There is a lot of action in this movie and It kinda keeps you watching. The effects are also really good. The bad part is that it is very predictable and that the laws of physics don't apply at all.
Aug 27, 2012This movie was great! I was invited to the cinema and I first thought it would be good but after I got ouf of the cinema I was happy that I was the movie with my buddies. It was great, had a good story and it was interesting all the time.
Aug 28, 2012I have read the 44 here, but as i am a big fan of the first one i go to the movies. It surprise me, its a good movie, could be better, always, but its a good movie and a very good sci-fi movie, the techs are very plausible and well done. nice movie
Sep 10, 2012Good Saturday afternoon movie film. Plenty of action and sci-fi fantasy. Good cast and nicely done change to the storyline from the original.. Yet another film that will get slated by the people who must be covered in dust and cobwebs and daren't open their minds a little to enjoy this film a little.
Jul 11, 2014It has a some great action just not enough actual story to the movie. Not enough character development in the movie. If you like action then you will like this movie but If you like anything else then you probably leave the theater disappointed and what the story really was.
Jun 8, 2013Definitely better than a 6.0. This is a great sci-fi movie with a more believable cyberpunk world than that overrated mess called "Blade Runner", an interesting plot, and great action sequences. Go watch it. NOW

Jan 8, 2013This is the biggest pile of **** Every aspect that made the original so amazing is missing here. This is the same guy that made the worst Die Hard movie. Someone should blacklist him from working in Hollywood.
Oct 10, 2013Having never watched the original, I didn't quite know what to expect from this.
The film is dry on humor, but the action scenes and great score from Harry Gregson-Williams kept me watching this again and again. The original might be better, but the remake was quite decent IMO.
One of my favourite films of 2012. -
Aug 10, 2012Total Recall is a mixed bag. It recalls (pardon the pun) other, and better sci-fi movies that includes Blade Runner and Minority Report. Despite its high production values, the original is still a much better film. This version doesn't bring anything new on the table.

Aug 15, 2012eh another big money remake of a so-so movie, its official Hollywood has run out of ideas and good acting. Wait for the dv.... ah nevermind watch it once then move on yea its that "good"
Sep 2, 2012I like how it looked. It was graphically/artistically inspired. It started very well too, both story-wise and action-wise. The issue I have with it is that after the good start, everything else felt bland and not really very exciting. I don't know how to explain, I simply lost interest in the movie and got bored...
Oct 18, 2014Compared to the original film, Total Recall lacks the wit and humour. However it contains satisfying action sequences and above average performances from it's cast to be entertaining enough.
Mar 12, 2013This one pissed me off, it did. I loved the original. No story here, not even a rehash of the first new invention of the Philip K. Dick story. If you must watch it, turn off the sound. The pictures are lovely.
Apr 20, 2013This was a good movie. It makes you wonder what is really going on. It moves at a fast pace and doesn`t get you bored. Takes you to another time. Not the best movie but kept my interest and was a good watch. Not to mention the fact that it`s different from the typical movie.
Dec 12, 2012
It's a bit of a flavourless CGI-fest, without the character and comedy of the Arnie version, and it never really gets to grips with the idea of "reality" as a slippery, malleable concept.
Perhaps no more absurd than the Verhoeven version, but certainly less amusing. Farrell and Beckinsale emerge unscathed, but the endless scrabbling for novelty and reinvention leaves this feeling unaccountably stale and familiar.
Aug 17, 2012Entertaining in small doses, but gruelling at two hours, Wiseman's derivative, spec-hackular upgrade bins the twisted wit and meaty thrills of the Arnie original.

Hi Michael !
Since you're the chef around here, I'll address it right to you.
The problem is simple: when connecting from a phone it's quite obvious phoronix.com is lacking one essential feature, the mobile version.
It's not nice to load the full site on a phone, the reasons are, again, obvious.
I'm surprized this hasn't been talked before. But I'm more surprized I am surprized about this ! I shouldn't have been.

The Modern maintains one of the foremost collections of modern and contemporary international art in the central United States. Various movements, themes, and styles are represented, including Abstract Expressionism, Color Field painting, Pop art, and Minimalism, as well as aspects of New Image Painting from the 1970s and beyond, recent developments in abstraction and figurative sculpture, and contemporary movements in photography, video, and digital imagery.
As an encore presentation to last winter's exhibition, FOCUS: KAWS, which featured the work of Brooklyn-based artist KAWS (b. Brian Donnelly, 1974), the Modern is currently featuring the installation of the artist's monumental sculpture, COMPANION (PASSING THROUGH), 2010. The work has been on view at the Modern's entrance since September 9, 2012. Originally scheduled to leave on January 6, the installation at the Modern has been extended through March 31.
December 2012 is the 10th anniversary of the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth's building designed by Tadao Ando. The Modern will mark the anniversary with a series of new acquisitions on view this fall, culminating in a celebration gala and dinner on December 6, 2012.
Director Marla Price comments, "These are exciting additions to the Modern's permanent collection. We are acquiring work by important new artists in several cases and increasing our holdings of works by Vernon Fisher, Dan Flavin, Howard Hodgkin, Sol LeWitt, Bruce Nauman, and Nicholas Nixon."
New York-based artist Gary Simmons is known for his "erasure" technique, which he began using in the early 1990s. Initially creating semi-erased works with chalk on blackboards, the artist has evolved to works on paper, paint on canvas, and murals that mimic smudged chalk. The resulting blurred and ghostly images often refer to intersections of pop culture, race, and class.
British/Nigerian artist Yinka Shonibare MBE explores colonialism and the intricate ways in which it has shaped, and continues to shape, cultural identities. He is well known for his life-size sculptural tableaux featuring staged, headless mannequins dressed in elaborate period garments. In these works, the materials and designs of the original clothing are replaced with batik, a colorful and ornately patterned fabric.

Two things:
1) I love the colour of TreyTrey's new shoes.
2) That Wolf thing you bought, Oister, looks very neat! I like it! It wouldn't really fit well with any of the rooms in my house, but if you've got a place for it, that's great. c:
3) Bought this last night from da e shop:
Last minute sale grabs before xmas...couldn't pass them up. $20 each. Been waiting on Zero Escape for a looooooong time (its fairly uncommon) and Tearaway is on sale @ gamestop this week. They even threw in the little charms for preordering. SO happy to have 'em. :]
Gave in and bought myself a PS Vita off of Ebay. It was 190 dollars for the Vita, a 32GB Memory Card, Case, and 6 games. Couldn't pass up such a good deal. Might buy PS All Stars or Killzone Mercenaries soon.
Allstars was an easy plat. Tearaway is $20 @ Gamestop this week. :]
I'm enjoying it though. I'm probably gonna try to get all the endings. By the time I'm done it'll probably be like 20 hours. $1 an hour is a good deal to me haha. And I'll let it sit on my shelf...something tells me years down the road its gonna be one people are paying good money for.
I was in the process of going for platinum on Guacamelee when this arrived in the mail. Guacamelee has now gone to one side for the moment, because this game is amazing.

Nailtiques Avocado Foot Creme
Deborah S.New York, NYWell Kept Secret....This cream is pretty wonderful on my heels - my skin is so soft. I have tried everything out there for my heels, and this is the best so far. It's best to use it at night tho with a pair of socks as it would be a bit to creamy to wear with shoes during the day.posted Mar 14, 2012Link to this post

C F MattmillerAvocado Foot CreamMy work involves being "on my feet" most of my workday. The avocado foot cream has worked better than the touted Neutrogena Foot Cream that I have used for years. I have been using this product for only about two weeks or so.Three areas of stress on my feet are 1) heels; 2) sides of big toes; and 3) creases in middle of ball of foot. The avocado foot cream works much better for these areas -- for the heels there is almost NO roughness; there is less pronounced callous buildup on my toes and with the crease on the ball of my foot.posted Apr 3, 2007Link to this post
ReneePhoenix, AZNot 5 StarsI saw the reviews on how incredible this foot cream was. It goes on non-greasy like the reviews said but does not absorb into the skin very well(you have to use quite a bit because of the texture of the cream so you really go through the product fast; not worth the price you pay).I saw the lines/tiny cracks fade from my heels but not disapear completely. My heels did not feel soft, just a little smoother (and I get regular professional pedicures every other week).posted Feb 16, 2007Link to this post

Original Price: $149.99 Shop all Dock-and-Play Satellite Radios Need help? 1.888.955.6000 Email Chat Ask an expert advisor No pressure, no commission — just lots of good advice from our highly trained staff.
by Zak Billmeier The Lynx may be the most exciting satellite radio ever. It's a cool little touchscreen marvel that at times seems part-smartphone, part-DVR, part music player...but it's really something totally new. I got a chance to see it in action at a training session recently, and came away thinking, "Wow, the Lynx takes it upon itself to make sure you'll never, ever get bored." Most importantly, the Lynx lets you take your SiriusXM Radio with you. No matter where you go, it'll keep your favorite shows right at hand — while it's connected to a satellite radio signal, it automatically records your five favorite channels. So when you grab it and head out the door, you've got enough content loaded to keep you entertained for quite a while. When connected to Wi-Fi, the Lynx lets you browse, select and rewind shows up to 5 hours in the past. You can even store MP3s on a microSD™ memory card so you'll have your existing library on hand. You can listen to SiriusXM Internet Radio over a Wi-Fi network, and with the help of optional accessory kits, you can listen in your car and over your home stereo system. And since you can get a satellite radio signal from coast to coast, you won't lose your music when you're on the road. XTRA CHANNELS The Lynx gives you access to all the channels you already love — plus, with either a SiriusXM Select, Premier or All Access package, you'll get more than 20 new XTRA CHANNELS, including: more commercial-free music more sports more entertainment SiriusXM Latino, which gives you 12+ Spanish-language channels Check out the full SiriusXM channel guide Listen at home with the home dock Listen in your car with the car dock Listen over a Wi-Fi network With a SiriusXM Internet Radio subscription, you can listen over the Internet when the Lynx is connected to a Wi-Fi network. While connected, you can view album art and even artist bios (when available) on the big color screen. And if you join a show late, the Start Now feature lets you go back to the beginning. Listen to your favorite channels...on your time Once the Lynx is docked and receiving a live satellite signal, it'll record your favorite channels using its Radio Replays feature. It can capture up to 200 hours of programming, including up to five channels at once. That way, you'll have plenty of content to check out when you grab the Lynx and go. Stream SiriusXM Radio with built-in Bluetooth® Built-in Bluetooth lets you stream programming from the Lynx to a compatible device, like a car stereo, headphones, or the home dock (not included). So for instance, when your home dock is connected to your home stereo, you can pick up the Lynx, sit on your couch, and browse other channels without interrupting the show you're currently enjoying. Gorgeous touchscreen, cool features You can tap your way through your favorite channels on the Lynx' large touchscreen. You can also pause, rewind, and replay live programming, plus find out what's playing on another channel while you're listening. ShowFinder™ lets you know when your favorite shows are scheduled — tap the screen, and you'll get an alert when one comes on. And if you switch to one of your five favorite SiriusXM channels in the middle of a song, no problem — Tune Start will bring you back to the beginning so you don't miss a thing. Note: A subscription to SiriusXM is also required. Satellite radio service is available only within Canada and the lower 48 states — not available in Alaska, Hawaii, or U.S. territories. SiriusXM Select, Premier, All Access, or SiriusXM Internet Radio subscription plan needed to get XTRA CHANNELS.

SiriusXM Lynx Written By kindofrandom, Memphis, TN on Tuesday, December 17, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Works great! I love the options of satellite, internet, my own stored music or even previously recorded listening. The only thing I wish it had was built in antenna and an adjustment for touchscreen sensitivity. The touchscreen works well but not quite as sensitive to the touch as you might expect. Fantastic product! Pros: many listening options Cons: no adjustment for touchscreen sensitivity
Wife's Xmas Written By Joe Friday, Rocky Mount, NC on Sunday, December 15, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The Lynx is what I expected from researching it on the internet. My wife has a SiriusXM subscription for her car and she wanted to listen to SiriusXM in the house. In that I am the gadget person for our home, it was up to me to make in work. I purchased the Lynx for it portability along with the Home Kit. It is easy to carry from room to room to patio, etc. I had an old Logitech computer sound system (mini speakers with woofer) that I hooked up to the Home Kit's docking pedestal. It works well and delivers good sound with a descent range mainly because of the woofer. I also purchased the SiriusXM Portable Speaker Dock. The speaker dock is convenient, but does not have the full sound range and quality delivered by the Logitech. She uses the speaker dock in our home office and the Logitech sound system in the family room. To use the Lynx at different locations and for portability it made more sense to connect to SirusXM through the Internet (Wi-Fi) rather than satellite. Unfortunately, through the Internet, you lose some of its features but for us it was the sensible choice. All-in-all, my wife and I are pleased with the Lynx and we would recommend it to others. Crutchfield had it compatibly priced and shipped it in a timely manner. Pros: A nice large touch screen with tactile feedback. Being able to take the unit out of the Home Kit docking pedestal (Bluetooth). Small/slim size. Storage capacity (32 g SDHC). Battery life. Internet Browser capability. Cons: I do feel that the Lynx may be a little complicated for the non-gadget savvy. You have to go online for the 136 page user manual. The touch screen navigation takes some practice to get use to. There needs to be more categories to select from in the My Library (album, genre, etc.). The Home Kit Dock has Bluetooth which is good, but the Speaker Dock does not. Limited features through internet connection.
Amazing change in how I enjoy XM Written By Jerry, Rochester NY on Sunday, December 01, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) It compact, easy to use, the speakers and fine for talk but not music. But I use my house speakers and it is awesome. You do need a home kit if you want to record. It must be in the kit to record. But that works fine.
Don't buy it Written By Jeff, CA on Wednesday, November 20, 2013 I was weary of buying this because of mixed reviews. The only reason I ended up buying it was the docks were on sale for and I needed 3. It locks up all the time, it won't pair with the dock, loses reception, the touch screen only works once in a while, sound cuts in and out. Pros: Looks nice Cons: Poorly made.
SiriusXM Lynx Portable Radio Written By User, Plano, TX on Friday, November 08, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Portable touch screen radio that I can take anyplace, assuming I have a satellite connection and/or Wi_Fi. Great small compact design Pros: Compact, Portable, Easy to Use, Touch Screen Cons: This was e replacement , the Wi-Fi went out on the first radio in less than a week. So far so good on replacement
Best Sirius radio by far Written By LB, Los Angeles, CA on Saturday, October 05, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I use the Lynx for home since I have built in Sirius radios in each car. I bought this model for all the features, such as bluetooth and internet, and the fact I can put in an SD card of my own music. I also bought the boombox so I can take it anywhere. I haven't tried all the features yet. The one thing I wish this came with is a paper manual, as it is extensive and would be much easier to read than paging through the onboard screen manual. I pair it with a Sony sound bar wiith wireless subwoofer. I can easily take both outside for parties in the backyard. I can't fault the radio for my not reading the manual completely, but I haven't been able to get it to start at the beginning of a song. One of the best features is the internet connection. Now I can take it to my cabin where I can't get satellite reception. It also pairs with bluetooth headphones. The pair I have also have an SD card so I can listen to tons of music on a plane or wherever headphones are appropriate. I'm doing a remodel and my contractor and all his subs are impressed with both the radio and the Sony sound bar, so I imagine Sirius will get a few more customers. Once you have Sirius you can't go back. Also, I must say, my first purchase through Crutchfield was very impressive, from the ease of ordering online to the speedy delivery, price and packaging. I will definitely look to them for future purchases. Pros: Sleek and beautiful, great features, portability
Sirius XM Radio Written By Bill, Indiana on Wednesday, October 02, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) As a truck driver I have been an XM subscriber for years and the Lynx is my favorite radio so far! The recording ability and DVR like features are wonderful. And the Bluetooth is fantastic. Bragging able to connect to my BT headphones is icing on the cake. Pros: Portability and DVR like. Beautiful display. Bluetooth. Cons: None so far.
Good Product Written By Robertp, MCALLEN, TX on Tuesday, September 17, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bluetooth works great with my 2013 Honda Accord. Have not tried internet function yet. Pros: easy to install, bluetooth works great. No issues yet. Cons: none
Is it worth the price? Not sure yet! Written By Red, Raymond, Ms. on Saturday, September 07, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) So far I love the satellite receiver. But that is based on the quality of the satellite music and not the Sirius receiver. I've noticed a few minor quirks with the device so far. One, the touch screen doesn't always work. When I try to go from one preset to another it often takes several tries to work. I've had a number of instances where the remote won't work. But probably my biggest complaint is mounting the receiver in the car with the required car kit. The mount is flimsy at best. The only way you can mount the device with the parts that come with the kit is on the AC vents. Moves around way too much for my taste. Pros: Great quality music along with great variety of different stations. Cons: Receiver itself is absolutely no good without the home or car kits that provide the antenna.
Great radio Written By Jcar55, Herculaneum, Mo. on Saturday, June 01, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great new radio from sirius. Easy to use
Nice product, but has a few issues Written By Scott M, Bridgeport, CT on Wednesday, May 29, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great looking product with a lot of new features - this unit can get satellite and internet radio channels, and has a buffer so it always starts from the beginning of the current song, no matter when you tune in. You can pause live radio up to 30 min, download your favorite shows, and there are many more shows available on demand. It has Bluetooth as well, though it's far from perfect. I've had this product for 2 weeks now though, and it's not without it's problems. The unit often operates very slowly (navigating channels, menus, etc), and the internet signal occasionally cuts in and out, despite a fast and reliable wireless connection. Also, the Bluetooth so far has only worked with the accompanying home dock. It won't work with the Bluetooth in my car, or with my Jambox portable speaker. Overall a great unit, but with some serious shortcomings, hence the 3 stars.
Working great Written By TDB, Ohio on Saturday, May 25, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Works great in car and at home. I've been wanting to get satellite radio in my car but the in dash radios were just too much. It was cheaper this way and I can also use it at home so I get more out of it. I bought both of the docking stations to use with it. I only wish I was able to use the satellite radio portion of it with out the docking stations. I also like the mp3 player better than the one in my car stereo. Pros: Lower cost then in dash satellite radios and I can use it in the house also. mp3 player works great although if you have a lot of songs it will take a while to load up the list when you first put the SD card in. After the initial load there is no wait. Cons: No satellite radio unless it's docked. Wish they still had the older XM channels like Lucy.
Sirius XM Lynx Written By MR, San Diego, CA on Saturday, May 25, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great compact portable satellite radio ! Pros: Small, portable, easy to use Cons: n/a
Nice SiriusXM Radio Written By KenS, Arizona on Saturday, May 25, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Nice addition to my Car and Home audio needs. Its portability is great. The options to connect to my car audio were great. Pros: Portability, Bluetooth, WiFi and touch screen. Cons: Sometimes it takes a few tries to connect to my car audio via Bluetooth.
Awesome Written By b, Savannah, Ga on Thursday, May 23, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Awesome product, fast delivery, Crutchfield rocks!
Sirius XM Lynx Written By LarryB, Corpus Christi, TX on Wednesday, May 22, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am returning the 4th replacement radio in 2 months. The unit is the most inferior electronic device sold in this country. 2 have stopped working within 2 or 3 weeks after initially working fine. The 4th replacement radio will not respond to the remote or change channels off of the preview channel when activated. Tech support at Crutchfield was responsive but could not do anything but replace the unit. Sirius tech support also agreed that the last radio was faulty out of the box. Pros: Nice features during the brief time they were functional. Replay is a plus. Small, fits in car air vent mount Cons: Does not work. How can anyone support a product that fails four times?
Thank you CRUTCHFIELD Written By JA, Minneapolis on Saturday, May 11, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The receiver is a good product, as expected. I did have problems setting it up, however. Three separate calls to Sirius customer service, totaling over an hour in length, were an entire waste of time. It turned out that I knew more about the product that the people I talked to. After over an hour of frustration, I called Crutchfield.The service advisor there had the right answer that entirely fixed my problem in three minutes. Thank you, Lloyd! Pros: A basically decent product. And Crutchfield customer service advisors rock! Cons: Sirius customer service is worse than a waste of time.
Lynx Radio Written By Anonymous, Hiram, ME on Friday, May 03, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I received the first Lynx radio over a month ago.the next day I installed the car docking system and put the radio in the car and within a few minutes the radio "locked" up.no sound. Reset the radio by powering down and power up and worked for about ten minutes and "locked" up but this time sounding like a CD skipping.this happened about ten or so time in an hour period, I tried every option from resetting the radio to factory defaults (the reset does not role back the updates to the firm ware and OS versions).to no avail the radio would fail through out the day with no rime to reason. I contacted Crutchfield support and the gentlemen walked me though some trouble shooting items with the radio.then agreed that the radio has a major issue. With no hesitation he sent me a new radio and a RMA UPS return label.no cost to the customer! I have nothing but praise to Crutchfield's support and customer retention to their customers, their customer satisfaction for me (had another return a few months ago on another product) is one hundred percent at this point. There are many other companies that should follow Crutchfield's example of customer satisfaction.great job to all at the company! The new radio arrived and I have not accepted the updates yet and the radio has been working great in either modes (SAT/Wi-Fi).I have had the radio for a couple of weeks now, I just don't dare to except the updates for the fact it may cause the radio to fail. Pros: The Lynx is a great unit to use from the vehicle to Wi-Fi, recorded modes or use the micro card with MP3 tunes.love the clear screen and the touch screen menus, the radio reception seems better than the old Sportster model that I had for years hope its lasts as long. Great support and customer satisfaction from Crutchfield!!!!! Cons: Are the updates from Sirius for the Lynx causing issues with the radio? No one can tell me either way from Sirius support...they need to find out if they want to sell more of the units. Other than that its a great radio...even with the first issue it has nothing to do with the quality of the radio directly...it may be a software issue. Thats why I give it 4 stars.
Great Radio Written By GeorgeE, California on Friday, May 03, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I love my new radio. I have had sirius for the last five years and was excited to get it for the office. I do not use it at home and have set it to record a couple of shows so will probably start bringing it to the gym for working out. The screen is great, I like that it gives me all the info on the songs and artists. I have a friend in the office who has an Onyx, the Lynx is much better. Pros: The amount of storage space is phenomenal and the interface is pretty intuitive. The ability to record and playback is nice, I especially like being able to rewind when I miss something or want to hear a song again. Cons: It is a little slow at startup but that does not really bother me. I read some complaints about lag time between changing channels. I have had that a couple of times but when listening to music it doesn't matter because it will start at the beginning of the songs. I wish you did not need to have it connected to a base unit for it to get satellite. I did not mark it down for that because I knew that when I bought it, but it would be nice if it were truly portable.
Best Satellite Radio!!! Written By KingFisch, NewKazoo, PA on Wednesday, May 01, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is the most advanced Satellite radio with touch screen features and also doubles as an internet browser when you are on WiFi, either at home or on the road, like motel or McDonalds! But, I particularly like the "DVR-like" feature of being able to record programs for later playback! Love this radio! Pros: Save 200 hours of programs for later playback.. like a DVR! Great touch screen features. Also is an internet browser when it connects to WiFi Cons: None yet!
My Favorite Sirius Radio Yet Written By ag, Orlando, FL on Monday, April 29, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Previously there was nothing like a Starmate 2. I had a horrible experience with the Starmate 5 - waste of money. The Lynx is by far a better system. I am very happy with it to date. Pros: Can take it with you and works as both satellite and internet radio. Cons: Having a hard time selecting songs I want to be notified of when they play on other stations.
SiriusXM Lynx™ Written By chad, kannapolis, nc on Friday, April 26, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Works great as advertised. Can't beat the price. Pros: Portable device which is awesome. I can listen in the car or at home. Also you can listen to recorded radio with headphones. Cons: FM transmitter is weak. Works great if you have an auxiliary port on your radio otherwise you will get a lot of interference from radio stations. Also this is classified as an XM radio stop of you have a Sirius subscription you will lose those channels such as NFL and Howard Stern.
Does what I wanted Written By 8Wlr, omaha,NE on Sunday, April 07, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) fills the bill with exactly what I needed for car and home Pros: easy to learn Cons: none yet
NO Working with Sat. Radio & Headphones Written By Anonymous, Sun Valley, CA on Friday, March 29, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I had to return it. It has a MAJOR programming flaw. You cannot use the unit with HEADPHONES when its connected to Sirius radio via SATELLITE Radio??? Internet radio - you can use headphones, Satellite radio no headphones. When the unit is in a car attached to car docking station the headphone jack stops working. I wanted to use this radio as a SECOND radio for my son on long road trips. But I can only hear the Sat. radio through the AUX connector or Bluetooth on the cars main speakers. I'm sure Sirius did this to prevent people from listening to head phones and driving, but to COMPLETELY disable the headphone jack is way too restrictive. Just a warning should be enough. Fix this issue, and I'll buy the system again! Pros: Easy to use Cons: NO HEAD PHONE USE POSSIBLE WHEN USING WITH SATELLITE RADIO??? I had to return the system. What a hassle and a disappointment!!
So far...so good Written By TonyC, Cape May NJ on Wednesday, March 27, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased this for use in my car. The optional radio that I have will not allow an AUX connection except for an iPhone. I bought this unit because it can connect through blue tooth. In this respect, it works as advertised, the set-up and connection went without a hitch. I have to manually select it as the audio player because my car radio always defaults to the cell phone. This is a radio and not a Lynx glitch. Sound quality is surprisingly good. My only reticence for not giving five stars is that I had to send back the first unit which stopped working after five days. Crutchfield immediately replaced it at no cost and the new unit has been fine. BTW, both Sirius XM and Crutchfield tech support were very knowledgeable. Pros: Good sound, blue tooth interface, easy set-up. Cons: Bad experience with the first unit which was replaced.
Awesome Written By David K, wooster Ohio on Tuesday, March 26, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) SiriusXM Lynx is the best all round siriusxm radio. just update os right away Pros: works everywhere after us set your fav channels up Cons: none
The Lynx Written By foleym, Gypsum,Co on Monday, March 25, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have had 4 sporster's over the year's and love this new lynx. It has a great display and is really easy to use. i think you will like it also. Pros: Great display. easy to use. Cons: None from me.
SiriusXM Lynx Written By TimP, Buffalo, Ny on Thursday, March 21, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great product...Easy to setup and use... Pros: Love all the stations to choose from. Cons: Better than a regular radio in the hilly areas but you still can lose the signal occasionally.
Money Well Spent Written By Robert, Cleveland, OH on Wednesday, March 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have been wanting a satellite radio for a long time. I decided on the LYNX because of the features it offers. I placed my order with Crutchfield because of the right price plus the offer of a free home or vehicle kit. Setting it up to connect to the bluetooth signal from the home dock and WiFi Internet was easy. As soon as it made it's WiFI connection it obtained all the necessary updates. The sound quality produced through headphones or the car and home system is great! Everything (and that is a lot) works. Reading the set-up instructions for the home dock it said to place the antenna where it faces the southern sky or at a south facing window. This caused me some anxiety as my stereo equipment is on a north wall. Plugging in the antenna and setting it on top of my stereo cabinet in the livingroom near the north wall I received an excellent signal - full signal bars. Whew! Check out the user guide for the LYNX from the SiriusXM websie to see what all this baby can do! Pros: Bluetooth, WiFI, ease of set-up, numerous features, remote included with the home and car kits. If you like SeriusXM, you will LOVE this radio!!! Cons: Touch screen can be a little too sensitive when scrolling. I'll have to lighten-up on my touch.
SiriusXM Lynx Written By James, New Market, Md on Tuesday, March 12, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I love it. I have used it exclusively attached to the portable speaker dock, BB2, and stream via my home wi-fi. It also has the ability to connect via Bluetooth as wellas satellite antenna. Fantastic, flexible electronic gizmo. Pros: Multiple methods of connection to stream content. Looks great. Colorful touch screen. Fits in shirt pocket for convenient portability. Cons: None thus far.
Cool XM radio Written By Cheo, Chicago, il on Friday, March 08, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great radio with all the Internet channels. Pros: MicroSD slot!! Cons: Should be thinner!
Flexible and Easy to Use Written By mdan, Chicago on Wednesday, February 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've had this device for about three weeks and like it a lot. Its great to be able to use it both at home and in the car. Setup was smooth, but I was surprised that I had to activate the phone once for internet use and again for satellite use. Installing it in the car was easy. I found that I could put the satellite antenna anywhere on my dashboard and it worked - even inside my highrise parking garage where GPS never works! Good product. Pros: compact, easy to set up, powerful satellite antenna Cons: Have to do separate product activations for internet and satellite use.
Bart Written By Bart, Madrid, IA on Wednesday, January 23, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) So far I have been very happy with the radio itself being able to use it at home with wi-fi. In the vehicle is a whole other story but has nothing to do with the radio. The vehicle kit remote quit working after two days use. I bought this directly from SiriusXM because Crutchfield was out at the time so this does not reflect negatively on Crutctfield. The upsetting part is, you can't just return the remote to get it replaced. You have to send everything in the kit back. This was a pain since the dock was already mounted to the dash and the antenna installed and run through windshield and door molding and through the dash, all had to be removed and sent back as it came in the kit. SiriusXM needs to come up with a different process such as making remotes available separately. As I said earlier though, the Lynx has been awesome!!!!!!!
SiriusXM Lynx Written By RC, Richmond, VA on Wednesday, January 23, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Easy to use and simple to set up favorites, which is a nice feature because it records several hours of each of the favorites; I installed a car dock and home dock; both work with no issues. Remote is poor, sometimes won't turn unit on, very hard to change channels with remote. Also unit sometimes will not power on after taking out of dock - but when I put it back in dock, then take it out, it will turn on/off just fine - a little quirky. Pros: size, ease of use, recording of favorite channels Cons: remote is inferior, sometimes won't turn on after taking out of dock
Not user friendly Written By SNUFFY, Eureka Springs, AR on Tuesday, January 15, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) neat idea but disappointed.. Turning on/off, learning how to charge, play time, etc. and was told by Sirius person it would work anyplace including outside USA that had Wi Fi. The speaker system iK100 kicker works very well but likely will send the entire purchase back because of the radio Pros: size and wi fi enabled. Crutchfield service Cons: on/off, charging, play time, needs remote since all functions are manual
SiriusXM Lynx™ Written By janu, missoula, mt on Friday, January 11, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) nice unit. has a lot of features. Cons: is not truly "portable" in my mind. Cannot listen to satellite radio unless it is in a dock or near wifi.
Love it Written By Ericj, Houston, TX on Saturday, January 05, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I been using my lynx at home at work etc ... I also have Internet radio on my iPhone but this will do the trick once I get the car kit (drains phone battery) I have no complaints on this device !! Great choice for the $$$ Pros: Easy accessibility and awesome replacement to my iPhone Cons: None
Just will not cooperate Written By Larry, Yuma, AZ on Friday, January 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I ordered the radio with high expectations. I am really interested in the ability to record programs during the night and listen to them later, like my XM3Pi does. When it arrived, I discovered that this is not a satellite radio. It CAN be a satellite radio if you buy accessories so it can receive the satellite signal. But, by itself it is only an internet radio. So I setup a trial subscription with XM internet radio. They send me a code to authorize the radio but it simply will not work. During the several days I attempted to get this radio to work, the battery would go dead even though the radio was turned off. So, I have returned the radio and will go back to using my XM3Pi portable radio. In case anyone is interested, I am on my third XM3Pi in 8 months which is another reason I wanted to go to a newer model. Oh well. Pros: Pretty display. Crutchfeild customer service is FAR above the rest of the industry. Cons: 1. Not sure as I never got it to work to begin with. 2. You MUST buy a dock kit in order to receive satellite signals. Strange that they do not include that when you are buying a "satellite" radio.
Dont buy this unit. Written By Steve, NY on Saturday, December 15, 2012 Do not buy this radio. I had to return 3 of them. Costing me a lot of money to send them back and SiriusXM wants me to pay turn them on? 45$ to ship them back.45 to turn on they defective units? Omg. Why did I buy this radio again! Want to get rid of it now. Pros: Nice unit. Cons: Lol. What else can break on this? Talking with XM people. Waiting on the phone for a long time? Just to get the run around.
the perfect travel companion:SIRIUS XM LYNX Written By jim, E. HADDAM,CT on Tuesday, July 17, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've been looking for a satellite radio that travels easy with wi-fi capability and lynx is the answer. easy to log on to wifi in most hotels , and with all those commercial free stations,it has really been a pleasure ! the small speaker contained in the lynx is pretty good, better than hotel radios but an outstanding feature is that the wifi will go back 5hrs time to the beginning of a program you may have missed while traveling and start from there. headphone sound outstanding! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Pros: HAS BOTH SATELLITE AND WI-FI CAPABILITY.PERFECT FOR HOTEL LISTENING AND TRAVELING LONG DISTANCE IN AUTO.GREAT GRAPHICS Cons: LYNX INDEPENDENT SPEAKER ALITTLE TINNY BUT UNIT MEANT TO BE USED WITH HEAD SET OR VEHICLE/HOME DOCK.
My Lynx Review Written By Dave P, Omaha Ne on Sunday, July 01, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very happy with Lynx Radio so far. This is my first satellite radio so I can't compare. Pros: Touch screen Cons: A little tricky to use when driving. Just need to get use to it.
XM LYNX Radio Written By ACRA, NYC on Thursday, May 24, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is my second XM radio, I'm committed to XM however I'm dissapointed in this product. I like the that it has WI FI conductivity but it is difficult to use, loses the connection frequently and has to be turned off to reset, it is very annoying. it is small and difficult to read. Pros: Touch screen, WI FI Cons: Small screen, loses wi FI connection
good unit Written By tazz, Ohio on Thursday, May 10, 2012 Nice unit. works fine . I am glad I made the purchase . Have had it a couple weeks now. Pros: light easy to use works Cons: wish the XM subscription was less expensive around 5 or 6 bucks a month for music seems right
SiriusXM Lynx - this radio rocks!!! Written By SG, New York, NY on Saturday, May 05, 2012 I just bought the SiriusXM Lynx and it absolutely rocks! Between the easy touchscreen interface, the radios ability to rewind, pause, go back 5 hours in time, and it's ability to listen to one song while viewing what's currently playing on EVERY other station is awesome. Not to mention the bread & butter of satellite radio which is commercial free music segmented by genre, decades, style, etc, while being hosted by real DJ's who pull out songs you've long forgotten and/or new songs you never new were out there. It truly makes radio personal & fun again. Finally they also offer every major sports broadcast, across all teams, across the whole nation along with unparalleled talk radio from Howard Stern, Opie & Anthony, Oprah, and on and on and on, in the best user interface ever - go buy yourself a Lynx and rock out!!!!
Hidden limitations - not advertised online Written By J Michael, Falls Church VA on Wednesday, May 02, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Crutchfield and XM radio sell this so-called "portable" radio but it isnt a true portable. First you need one of the 2 docks - home or car and then it cant be used anywhere because it has no antennae and needs the dock or a wifi connection and the extra online internet XM radio charge to work. The web site should state that out front. I am returning mine asap. Pros: None Cons: Beware - It is not a real portable. It needs a home or car dock and a wifi connection which costs extra from XM radio for the internet radio.
Mixed Review Written By Mike, Charlottesville on Thursday, April 05, 2012 I had a xm3pi and it died. I tried this lynx model thinking the newer would be better. Great radio if you are only listening live via antenna or if you listen through wifi there is a little delay. Much like if you are using the I phone app. If you are recording content and trying to listen later, this unit is a huge dissapointment. If you can get it to record, you have to schedule a program first. Then it records it but when you go back to replay you start back at the beginning. The more content you have it still starts at the beginning. The old xm3pi works much much better for recorded content. I am returning this unit and buying another xm3pi. Crutchfield support was outstanding like always and highly recommend them for their service alone. I really like the radio but they need to fix the way it records and the play back feature. If they fix this I would buy it immediately. Pros: Great radio if you are only listening live via antenna or if you listen through wifi there is a little delay. Much like if you are using the I phone app Cons: Huge dissapointment for recorded content. I contacted support and it is just the way it works. I returned mine. The main reason is I record content, such as the Ron and Fez show, during work and listen to it later on my hour long commute.
NOT WORTH THE MONEY Written By Gary, NJ on Tuesday, March 20, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Veryhappy with service at Crutchfield. But this radio is terrible. My 8 year old Inno had more features. No longer TuneSelect to find favorite artists. The recording aspect is limited and sub-par. And the device freezes......often. On the plus side it has a nice big screen. Vehicle dock is very sensitive on channel changing to the point of being somewhat useless. Save money and buy a different unit. Pros: Nice clear screen Cons: unit software freezes....often. No tuneselect to find favorite artists/songs. Limited recording features. WAY TOO expensive for what you get over cheaper models
60 day review Written By Al, Charlotte NC on Thursday, March 08, 2012 ok so about a 60 day review. crutchfield is awesome. siriusxm is not yet. if you give the customers a product they love, you will have a successful business. i don't think they are listening to the customer. the great thing about my purchase was that it recorded music. i could leave it on a station overnight, it would record, then i could save the songs i liked and build an awesome music library. i learned new bands and new music. it was awesome. LYNX will record stations, but you can only FFWD 1/2 hour or about 5 songs - then it won't let you go any further. and you CANNOT record individual songs - period. on internet, or satellite - regardless. in fact you have no control over recording, there is no recording option. you can set favorite stations, and it records them, but if you hear something you love you can't say "ok, record now". the control i had, and the ability to explore new music, was the benefit of siriusxm. now it's just a radio, and up to you if it's worth paying for. Pros: does what it says it will do. does not say it will provide good recording experience, and it doesn't. Cons: SIRIUSXM's different hardware provides a vastly different experience to their customers. almost like different service levels. will not record individual songs - can only FFWD half hour or thru 5 songs
SiriusXM Lynx Written By T.G., Houston Tx on Monday, March 05, 2012 I have been a XM subscriber since the beginning and have had many of units thru the years. The Lynx is the best so far with features and controls. I had been waiting for a full Wifi and Bluetooth with the option of an MicroSD card for MP3 use. The unit is almost perfect except they dropped the scheduled record feature which has become a valued option for many of us. I upgraded from my Pioneer Inno and really loved the Lynx. I am just very disappointed I can't schedule my own channel recordings. There are shows that are on late at night that I liked recording. That feature should really be put back. Other than that issue, the Lynx is a very good unit and hopefully the next software release will fix some of the issues. Pros: Wifi, Bluetooth, MicroSD storage for mp3 playback. Cons: Unable to schedule your own channel recordings. Mp3 Playback seems sluggish.
BEWARE Written By Dave B, Wheaton, IL on Wednesday, February 22, 2012 This radio may not be ready for prime time, and perhaps neither is SiriusXM. I immediately had problems with playback and lockups while listening to live satellite radio. After a couple of weeks of experiments, firmwear updates, etc, I gave up and returnde the radio to Crutchfield for a swap. Crutchfield, being who they are, accommodated me and had a replacement to me in days. SiriusXM, being who THEY are, wanted to charge a $15 "swap fee" to activate the replacement radio and deactivate the bad one, and no amount of attempting to explain the situation made any difference. I held for supervisors and was disconnected after 20 minutes, called again, ultimately told to "email us", to make me go away, and given any number of excuses. I am not sure if this new one will fly. It's acting a little flakey. But SiriusXM's policies and support are subverting Crutchfield's legitimate efforts to succeed with this products, and I feel for them. Pros: Has a lot of great features, which, if they work, will be great. Cons: SiriusXM. 'nuf said.
SiriusXM Lynx Written By Roy H, Spring, TX on Saturday, February 04, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I owned a Sirius Stilletto 2(and enjoyed its pocket portability as a satellite receiver) until its battery failed. I thought the new SiriusXM Lynx was its replacement model. Alas, it is NOT. The result? The Lynx, without "tethering" it to the optional ($) car or home "base" units is nothing more than an overpriced INTERNET ONLY radio receiver that you have to pay a monthly subscription for!. Disappointing. Two Stars. Pros: Good Bluetooth capability Cons: Lynx INCAPABLE of satellite reception by itself like earlier SiriusXM models.
SiriusXM Lynx™ Written By roboc, waldorf,MD on Thursday, February 02, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) this is an awesome unit. I love the way it maneuver's through the screens effortlessly,displays song titles and artists and the small size but large display area are great.I have the home and car kit, and it is great, just grab and go could not be easier.CRUTHFIELD IS THE BEST PLACE , they sure do treat customers RIGHT.,because of the long wait in pre-order, they comped us the home and car kits. I WISH MORE COMPANYS TREATED THEIR CUSTOMERS THIS WAY ! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU Pros: THE LYNX is a GREAT unit.no problems at all,you will not be disappointed Cons: Don't see a thing wrong with it...just wish it had come out earlier
Lynx Review Written By Lynx User, Midwest on Wednesday, February 01, 2012 Love the new Lynx. Only had one problem. Put the radio in my purse and then it wouldn't power up. Called Crutchfield and they were very helpful. Just needed to open up battery compartment and reinsert battery and then it powered right up. Have not had this problem before so maybe just a one time occurrence. So far it is wonderful. Had to learn to scroll at little differently than on the Iphone. Have to push down just a tad harder without lifting up any while scrolling so as not to push on a station by accident. Once you get the hang of it, it is easy. Like that music and shows are recorded in the background if on satellite more than 15 minutes, this way I can take the radio to my other car and only need the aux jack to play recorded the music and recorded shows. Pros: The favorites at the bottom of the screens make it easier to find stations. Nice display. Easy to move from place to place because so small. Always have current music available even when not connected to wifi or satellite because of replay feature. Cons: Battery needed to be reinserted on one occasion. Wish docks were cheaper.
Stride Of the LYNX Written By ButterflyDiva613, Midwest MO on Tuesday, January 31, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) First I'd like to say this Lynx is a gift for my hubby. It is his 2nd SiriusXM system. With that said, WE BOTH LOOOOVVVEEEE CRUTCHFIELD!!!! Crutchfield we love the way you do business and your customer service is the best! There are some differences in the 1st system, but hubby is enjoying himself and is still figuring out the newness as he pays! Thx guys!
Lynx Written By SD, Tampa, Florida on Saturday, January 28, 2012 Best radio I've ever owned, the display is great and I'm still learning all the functions but so far it's all A+++++. I have dropped it a couple of times and it's still working with out any issues ;o) Pros: Easy to use, screen is great, Cons: None that I can tell
Not Happy Written By RJP350Z, Bloomfield, NJ on Friday, January 13, 2012 Radio was working great for about two weeks then stopped working in the Vehicle dock. Vehicle dock now being replaced but while waiting now the unit will not even boot up. Only shows 3 white icons on the face and the blue power button. Have tried everything to try and get it to reboot but no luck so far. Hope this is just a fluke and not a sign of things to come.... Will now have to try and RMA the unit itself Pros: Touchscreen is a nice added feature Cons: Not much long term luck with unit dying after only two weeks.
My First Impressions Written By NortyFiners, NJ on Sunday, January 08, 2012 I give this radio a B+. It's definitely an upgrade over any of the previous portable radios Sirius and XM had to offer. All of the negatives I posted about it can be fixed with a simple software update. Even if they don't update what I want it's still a good radio. Pros: -Finally a touch screen! ! ! -Satellite reception is great. -Starts songs from the beginning automatically when first tuning into a station. -The timeshift feature is cool. If I tune in to the end of the Howard Stern show I can go back five hours and start it from the beginning. Cons: -It has a cheap feel to it. It's light which is nice, but I can't help but to feel that if I drop it once it is all over :( -I can only rewind/fast foward up to five songs per hour? Really Sirius? Why? -It lacks the true "on demand" features I was hoping for. Would be nice to listen to a show from days ago instead of the past 5 hours. Also, Pandora like features wouldn't hurt.
XM Lynx review Written By vicsz, Westfield, NJ on Wednesday, January 04, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have only had the radio for two days and just finding out how it works. Touch screen is nice and setup easy. The bluetooth works fine when unit is remote to home kit base connection using WiFi. Not happy that satellite capability does not work when undocked. Also not happy that you cannot program recording by date and time but only by recording the last 8 hours of a favorites channel. The recorded programming is through the replay function in the library mode. The speaker is not the greatest and it sounds much better when a powered speaker system is used. So far, overall, it seems good but could use the suggested improvements to be great. Pros: Nice display and touch screen. Menu is easy to use for playing and setup. Cons: Cannot set up record programming by time and date.
Got the Lynx Written By Al, Charlotte NC on Wednesday, January 04, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) My S50 died 2 years ago - I've been waiting since then for a decent radio to come out. Got the Lynx - thanks Crutchfield for the free accessories! Got the extended warranty due to the sketchy reliability of previous Sirius products. Sirius rep was AWESOME helping me transfer my subscription from my old S50 to the Lynx. Once it was done, the satellite reception was way better than my S50. Now the bad news -no Love button. Takes a 16GB Micro SDHC card and can't record songs. Also, can't connect to WIFI. Apparently you need an internet subscription to do that. I don't have an internet subscription and I'm not getting one. So I can listen on the internet with my laptop but not their best radio. And I can't record songs in my car - ever - unless I carry around a mobile WIFI hotspot or something. They say it records "programs" from your favorite stations automatically OTA (vs WIFI), but you can't control it. I connected via bluetooth to my stereo, but then took Lynx out of the cradle. After replacing it I could not get it to connect again. I'm hoping that running Android allows SXM to make frequent and reliable software upgrades and I'm hoping that saving songs OTA is coming soon. Unless you have both an OTA subscription and an internet subscription, and even then - you don't mind hearing your favorite music in the car without being able to record it - you may as well get a Stratus for less. Will post another review after using it for 60 days. Pros: Crutchfield service - Sirius XM service - Satellite signal reception - Android OS Cons: Need internet subscription to listen over wifi. Need internet subscription/connection to record songs. pulled it out of cradle, would not reconnect to my bluetooth receiver.
