The low-profile Signa S3 sound bar delivers an incredible, room-filling home theater experience. Built to work with any HD, 4K and 8K TV via HDMI ARC, the Signa S3 is easy to set up and can be controlled with a single remote. Features Polk-patented Voice Adjust technology for clear dialogue, and Dolby Digital decoding for immersive, performance-tuned surround sound. Comes equipped with a wireless subwoofer for deep bass impact. Plus, stream your favorite music with Chromecast built-in and Google Play Music, Amazon Music HD, Apple Music, Roon, Qobuz, Spotify, Tidal and many more. This narrow, sleek sound bar can fit in most spaces be it on a tabletop or a mantle and can also be wall mounted.

Chromecast isn't REAL
By roebling
Polk Signs S3 is a great product -- setup is effortless, sound is fabulous
BUT I thought I was upgrading my JBL SB200 when I bought Polk's S3 for its built-in Chromecast but I wasn't! What I didn't guess was that Polk's Chromecast isn't REAL Chromecast -- it won't cast video from YouTube, from Amazon Prime, from Netflix, from Britbox, from Hulu, from Magellan, from SlingTV, from ANYTHING!

Chromecast AUDIO only
February 3, 2021
Admittedly it would not be intuitive from the everyday marketing but most sound bars only do audio streaming with just one or two exceptions. Reading the product description fully would help to clarify that in this case as the description clearly outlines chromecast used as a music streaming service. Google has not helped this with their marketing either since they recently removed the chromecast audio device from sale. However all of this being said it is REALLY a music streaming only service on this and most other sound bars.

Geek Squad~ Certified Refurbished products are thoroughly, painstakingly and lovingly tested, so you can be sure that your device will work right, right away. Geek Squad~ Certified Refurbished products.The Nest Doorbell is the battery-powered video doorbell that works with any home. See what~s happening at your door from anywhere and get intelligent alerts about important activity, like when there~s a person, package, animal, or vehicle.* And because there are no wires, you can install it yourself.
 

Is there a way to connect a power supply to the doorbell in order to keep it constantly powered and use the battery for a backup?

Yep. Couple of options. Connect a doorbell transformer of the proper specs in the details of the product. This is how it is used to replace existing doorbells but you could do the same even without an existing doorbell. You can also buy a solar panel to provide battery charging during the day.

which soundbars can be controlled by comcasts new xr11 remote.

Remote does not have an AUX button. I tried my Visio VSB200 which worked with Directv but not with this remote. I tried Bose Wave and that doesn't work either.
I am looking for an inexpensive unit without a separate woofer since we have a smaller viewing area.
Thanks for any help
If you use hdmi arc ( most tvs support this these days) the sound bar volume would be controlled by the tv remote function. If using other inputs it gets trickier but not impossible but does vary a bit depending on the setup so its harder to confirm.

does this new model support dolby vision?

I see the Panasonic rep ?? just said yes, but I just bought this projector and nowhere on it does it point to dolby vision support. Also the documentation on the Panasonic site does not mention Dolby vision either. Panasonic, can you confirm if this player support Dolby vision and if so how do we get that confirmed? Is it via a firmware update etc?
