The fast wireless performance gives you a smooth streaming experience, even with multiple streaming devices connected to your network~it~s perfect for watching in 4K!

Enjoy rich surround sound with clear dialogue with the HT-S400 2.1ch Soundbar. A wireless subwoofer, 330W of total output, and HDMI ARC one-cable connection make watching movies and TV more immersive.

It's the time of year for giving, gathering, and creating heartwarming memories that will last a lifetime. 2022 Holiday Barbie Doll embodies the spirit of the season in a vibrant, red gown inspired by the beautiful poinsettia, a symbol of good will and community spirit. Her ensemble dazzles with a shimmering poinsettia detail at the neckline and a layer of tulle and satiny petals adorning her long, full skirt. Gorgeous, golden chandelier earrings and red lips complete her look. In packaging that's ideal for display, this collectible 2022 Holiday Barbie doll makes a great gift for 6 year olds and up. Includes doll stand and Certificate of Authenticity. Doll cannot stand alone.

There was once a disaster that became known as 'calamity'. And hyrule kingdom collapsed. This is a story of 100 years after 'calamity'. Link, as the main character, wakes up from a long sleep in the underground ruin. Then he hears a mysterious voice. And following that, he steps into the wild land. ''Link is suddenly woken from his one-hundred-year sleep inside the Shrine of Resurrection of the Great Plateau, and guided by a mysterious female voice through the ruins of Hyrule. He learns from an Old Man that a being called Calamity Ganon had appeared one hundred years earlier and destroyed much of Hyrule before being sealed away in Hyrule Castle. It is later revealed that this Old Man is Rhoam Bosphoramus Hyrule, the last King of Hyrule, in spirit form. Although Ganon was trapped, his power continues to grow from inside the castle, and Link must defeat him before he breaks free and destroys the rest of Hyrule. He must do this by unlocking memories of his past, which are revealed over time....''

Roku Streambar is the powerful 2-in-1 entertainment upgrade with Roku streaming and premium sound for any TV. Upgrade to America~s #1 TV streaming platform and enjoy a massive selection of free and live TV in vibrant 4K HDR picture quality. The customizable home screen puts your favorite channels like Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, Apple TV+, Sling, and Hulu front and center. Crisp, clean audio makes dialogue easier to hear and with its compact design, you~ll be amazed at how something so small can fill your room with sound. You can even quiet loud commercials automatically plus stream music with Bluetooth. Setup is simple with everything in the box, including the Roku voice remote that controls your TV, sound, and streaming.~ For even bigger sound, add deep, rich bass with Roku Wireless Bass and immersive surround sound with Roku Wireless Speakers (sold separately). Just plug in and wirelessly pair.~~ *Based on hours streamed~Hypothesis Group.
 

I plugged in this sound bar to the HDMI ARC on a new Hisense 4K TV and am getting bad crackling in the audio output on all channels. The Roku troubleshooting page says this device is only meant for Roku TVs, but Best Buy says different. Which is it?

Using mine on a Samsung with no problems.

Experience easy listening with this Panasonic portable radio. It's AM/FM digital tuner lets you browse stations manually with a traditional analog dial, and with auto frequency control, it locks on and selects the nearest station while you turn the dial, so you don't have to be precise. This Panasonic portable radio has fluorescent pointers that let you see the interface in the dark. With battery power, its the perfect radio to have on hand for power outages and when severe weather approaches. It's small and compact enough to bring with you anywhere.
 

Can I use earphones with this portable radio? Are they included

In answer to your question, yes there is an earphone jack. It does not come with earphones. It is a great little portable radio. Old school rotary dialing in those stations which I prefer. Hope this helps.
