The new Multi-Touch subsystem in the new iPad 9.7" and iPad Pro gives Apple Pencil striking capabilities alongside pixel perfect precision. Using incredibly sensitive pressure and tilt sensors, Apple Pencil instantly recognizes when you are pressing harder or shifting its angle. So you can vary line weight, create subtle shading, and produce a wide range of artistic effects ~ just like with a conventional pencil.

Hear what you~ve been missing with the newly designed VIZIO V-Series 5.1 Home Theater Sound Bar. The V-Series 5.1 offers immersive home theater surround sound, a sophisticated new look and HDMI connectivity for the highest-quality audio. Three full-range speakers--including a dedicated center speaker for crystal-clear dialogue--are all perfectly balanced within the slim sound bar. Also included are a pair of low-profile surround speakers to envelop the listener, and a wireless 5~ subwoofer that brings booming bass. DTS Virtual:X sound enhancement adds room-filling, floor-to-ceiling virtualized 3D sound to movies and music. Optional surround modes provide the versatility to play stereo music through the sound bar and surround speakers simultaneously, transforming any content into powerful 5.1 audio; or place the surround speakers up front, next to the sound bar, for more expansive virtual surround in smaller spaces. Voice Assistant Input gives you the convenience of a voice assistant you~re already accustomed to (sold separately) and lets you operate it right through the sound bar for an upgraded audio experience. You can also wirelessly connect your compatible phone for high-quality Bluetooth music streaming. Now with an elegant new backlit LCD display remote control, the VIZIO V-Series 5.1 Home Theater Sound Bar can help turn your living room into a captivating home theater.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought google nest router and access point couple of weeks ago and it was definitely good product but expensive. With this latest updated version of Google wifi, I thought give a shot as we get 3 routers instead. The problem with Google Nest is it has only the router has ethernet port and the access point has no ethernet ports at all. Advantage of this Google Wifi is all 3 units have ethernet ports which is definitely advantageous. So I have been using it for a week and has excellent coverage everywhere. Now I have returned the google nest and happy with the google wifi.
Side note: Suppose you have wifi unit installed in bsaement and have some devices there, they would have connected to some other wifi unit already present in some other room. In that case, simply reconnect basement devices to basement wifi unit simpley by disconnecting and reconneting basement devices. Otherwise, basement devices might be connected to other location wifi unit instead.

5 out of 5way better than my old one
By Gary
from Mooresville
I needed to replace my 3D bluray player which lasted about 9 years which was also an Lg. Lg 's 3d was always very good but this new player is incredible. what is also nice is that my 3d tv is NOT 4k, but the player is. The dvd player down scales the 4k movies to 1080 which really was a good design because my tv is also as old as the original player so it is probably going to need to be replaced shortly as well . So when the tv goes I don't have to buy a new dvd player in 4k . I know 3d is done but have to admit the Lg 3d with the passive glasses is really amazing

Is mostly stereo. Even atmos trailers show input as stereo to my receiver. i got it to out put 5.1 once and the next day it was back to stereo with atmos media. Google failed on this product.
HTGuy

reply from google support is useless as they don't get what the original reviewer mentioned.
I have all atmos capable equipment and still chromecase reverts to stereo next day.

Start your new entertainment life in the media room, where the RZ50 passes 8K HDR video to your display via HDMIR~optimized for lag-free gameplay and feeds Dolby AtmosR or DTS:XR sound to your 5.2.4-ch speaker system with high-current power behind it. Move to another space and music follows with three-zone powered audio and the SMART AV Receiver suite controlled by voice with easy access to streaming services. The AVR fits into your Sonos system and plays to headphones over bidirectional BluetoothR wireless technology. With 75 years of hi-fi knowhow elevating our THXR Certified Select and IMAXR Enhanced certified RZ Series custom amp design, music, film scores, and game soundtracks thrill with emotion, sound perfected by Dirac LiveR Room Correction. This AVR has features others don~t, such as front-to-height stereo switching for background listening, DSP vocal/dialog enhancement, My Volume presets, and an OSD function that compares source data to output settings so playback can be optimized before entertainment kicks off.

I was not disappointed. All specs were excellent. The user interface was a great improvement over the Denon, Onkyo and Yamaha receivers I have used recently. Tip: when moving from 2 to 4 height speakers the connection of back surround will change. The sound quality left nothing else to be desired, excellent. The preamp outs for all channels added flexibility for experimenting with external homemade speakers, equalizers and analog amps. Loved the DIRAC calibration which used the computing power of a cellphone. I will mention one other unique issue I had. I was using 2 passive subwoofers with my choice of full range stereo amps. I needed to add external equalizer as during some music environments I could hear noise (digital?). A regular powered subwoofer would not have this issue, low pass filter and bass boost is built in.

height speakers questin
October 30, 2022
Hi.. I am exactly in the same situation of using 4 height speakers and to use height 2 additional speakers, I had to use preouts for surround back as mentioned in the manual. I am using trigger cable also. But for some reason, Onkyo never recognizes the surround back. No sound coming when i check in level calibration. In Amazon Q&A section, everyone says to use zone 3/hieght 2 which I tried, but no luck. Any idea/suggestion on how you were able to get it worked?
I had Denon 4400H before this and that worked perfectly fine with additional height speakers

It is listed as 9.2 channel. How would I make it 11.2 channel (I mean how would I add additional 2 speakers/channels)

The new Apple TV 4K brings the best shows, movies, sports, and live TV-together with your favorite Apple devices and services.~ Now with 4K High Frame Rate HDR for fluid, crisp video.~ Watch Apple Originals with Apple TV+.~ Experience more ways to enjoy your TV with Apple Arcade, Apple Fitness+, and Apple Music.~ And use the new Siri Remote with touch-enabled clickpad to control it all.
HDR to SDR vice versa switch - All streaming devices usually have a lag (black screen for a while) on switching from one format to another. Even the previous model of Apple TV 4K has that. Does this new model has any improvement in that?

Roku Select Series 4K TVs are thoughtfully designed to upgrade your entertainment at an incredible value. Enjoy your streaming favorites in brilliant 4K HDR picture that~s optimized for your room lighting with automatic brightness. Catch every word with built-in sound features like auto speech clarity and night mode or enjoy private listening with headphones. Switch to your inputs and watch free live TV right from the home screen, or use the voice remote to find movies, shows, or songs across thousands of channels. And even your deepest couch cushions are no match for the lost remote finder. A smart TV made by Roku? Now that makes sense.
