Great case

Well engineered and functional case. Initially used the keyboard a lot, but not so much any more with the apple pencil. It's still a worthwhile purchase for the functionality of the iPad case itself.

If your home theater system could use a boost, look no further than the Insignia NS-HTSB22 2.0-Channel Soundbar. This dual-channel system amplifies your TV~s existing audio and boosts your TV or music-listening experience. The soundbar provides multiple hookup options, including HDMI, Digital Optical, 3.5 mm AUX and USB. Or use Bluetooth to wirelessly sync your soundbar to another Bluetooth-enabled device. Three audio modes give you the flexibility to experience the best audio regardless of what you~re listening to. IR remote learning functionality lets you teach your soundbar functions from another remote, such as that from your TV. It~s wall mountable and includes all the hardware necessary, plus both an optical cable and 3.5 mm cable, meaning you can set up this soundbar right out of the box. Don~t put off improving your new home theater system!
 

Why doesn't the soundbar turn off with Pioneer Xumo connected to eARC HDMI? Set up per instruction settings 3 times; doesn't go into standby when TV is turned off (white light stays on. The same sound bar turns off w/ Insignia TV connected in same manor.

Toshiba~s V35 series sets up a stunning, heart-shaking, smart world for your relaxing viewing experience, thanks to the consistent innovation of advanced technologies. True-to-life images jump off the screen with amazing HD resolution, ultimately beauty of details, and original natural color. For a more immersive audio experience, a premium audio post-processing solution brings height to the entertainment experience that elevates surround sound formatting from DTS Virtual:X.
 

Is the power to the USB ports always on? Is there a way to switch the power on/off when the TV is turned on/off? I can't find anything in the settings or set up. I want to turn a LED light strip, used for bias lighting, on/off with TV power.

Smart security that is designed for every home. Set up in minutes, and receive notifications from the app whenever a visitor presses your Video Doorbell or motion is detected.

Why won't my doorbell camera work with a wired connection. It's connected to the original doorbell wires, But it wouldn't work without batteries in it

The Blink doorbell uses the battery to power the device. The house wiring is only for the house chime, not power.

Ultra portable Bluetooth speaker with a surprisingly bigger 360-degree stereo sound that~s crisp, bassy, and ready to go with 14 hours of boom ~ anywhere you go. WONDERBOOM 3 is your ultimate companion whether you're at the tailgate, a pool party, at home, or even in the shower.
 

Will the wonderboom 2 pair with the first gen?

No, it only pairs with the same generation.
I tried to pair it with my first gen and it won't. The documentation is confusing with some saying yes and others no, but it doesn't pair with first gen.

Get the results you want every time with the wireless meat thermometer. Choose your preferred doneness, adjust cooking settings, and track your cooking remotely with your smartphone or tablet using the free Yummly app. The preset programs for meat, fish, and poultry eliminate the guesswork, while the timers and alerts let you be confident in your cooking even when you're multitasking.
 

How long will the charge last

I don't have a definitive answer, but never ran out of charge while grilling, baking or smoking. I start with it charged up.

Does the probe have to be inserted all the way? I already have a MEATER probe, but it is too long for smaller cuts of meat, or even too long to insert in hamburger patty.

The instructions note insertion up to the black end portion. I use an instant read for burgers and small cuts of meat.

Does using a grill lid affect bluetooth range?

It can, depending on the type of lid. I don't have quite the range on my double walled stainless gas grill as on my Weber kettle. I only noticed it when nearing the end of the Bluetooth range and it was only about 10-15 ft. difference.

Vinyl audio has authenticity that digital can~t compete with, but you can~t argue with the convenience of modern wireless speakers either. With the Insignia Bluetooth Stereo Turntable, you can enjoy old school music using the latest technology. The turntable~s manual belt-drive design plays your 33-1/3 and 45 rpm 12-inch records. Its adjustable counterweight and magnet cartridge provide reliable tracking and a rich sound that help you lose yourself in the music. Connect a Bluetooth speaker wirelessly to make your music portable, or plug in your tried-and-true wired speakers with one simple connection. After your record is done playing, the turntable will turn off automatically and the detachable cover shields your turntable when it~s not in use. Music holds a lot of memories, and it can also create new ones. Make them count with this Insignia Bluetooth turntable.
 

I have it all set up however when I play my record its very low barely audible. Does the sound only work with a speaker?

My turntable has quit turning. I tried unpluggoing it and replugging into power like the manual suggested, but it's still not turning.

Check to make sure the belt didn’t come off or break. The platter should not spin too ‘freely’ if the belt is attached. Lift the felt mat and rotate the platter so a viewing window is in the 10-11 o’clock position to see the motor spindle.
