You~ve purchased a high-quality sound system for your entertainment center, and now only one thing remains: putting it all together and achieving that perfect sound. Some would say it~s the most daunting part of the whole process, especially when a bad cable can make your audio experience fall flat. This Rocketfish 30' 16 Gauge Pure Copper Speaker Wire makes the job simple. Wrapped around a spool, this wire is easy to dispense and is marked with polarity and measurement indicators for your convenience. And with 30 ft. of wire to work with, you~re sure to have enough to finish the job. Made with oxygen-free copper for crystal clear signals, Rocketfish wire supports the superior audio you deserve.

Consistently great wire!
on February 17, 2021
Posted by: SubGuy
Verified Purchase:Yes
The key to speaker performance is insuring consistent resistance over various lengths of speaker wire, since few speaker placements require the same length of wire fir each speaker. I’ve had great results with this brand over the years, so typically look for it when planning new speaker installations. Anytime I have the choice, I choose wired speakers over wireless speakers.

For the money, best AV receiver available. 7 HDMI inputs, including one on the front panel, make this AV receiver a force with which to be reckoned.

When remote audio/video devices absolutely have to
on December 16, 2020
Posted by: SubGuy
Verified Purchase:Yes
Getting HDMI signals to locations that wiring is either substandard or not available is a chore . . . until now. This transmitter/receiver set is great at solving local distribution problems. Something that seems simple, like setting up a projector that is remote from your other home theater devices actually is simple with this product.

There are HDMI cables and there are great HDMI cables. This one is a great one and we’ll worth the price. I use these cables as extensions for the rear of my AV receiver inputs so I can rest assured that ALL of the signals being process are the strongest possible.

Today's businesses demand and rely more on their network to carry out mission-critical business activities. NETGEAR~ Smart Managed Plus Switches meet this growing need by providing fundamental network features such as VLANs, QoS, and IGMP Snooping that will help optimize the performance of business networks. Smart Managed Plus Switches are the perfect upgrade from the plug-and-play unmanaged switch, delivering essential networking features at a very affordable price.

I usually rely on Netgear products when I enhance or upgrade my digital domain. Have a need to expand your ethernet port population? Then this is the product for you. Either powered or not, there are enough ports to solve any standard home-based connectivity problems.

Great capability at a great price!

I purchased this television for my Master Bedroom after purchasing similar 43 inch models for our two guest bedrooms.
The picture is great and the cost was well within our budget. Since we stream movies most of the time and are Amazon Prime members, having everything built into the set was a definite plus.
I'd have bought a 65 inch model had Toshiba continued building them.

Can I watch differa t things on the TVs this is set up with

This device is but one input to a television. If the tv has multiple inputs, then any other input may be selected for viewing. If you have switched inputs to this device, then the device will pass whichever input to the device is selected.

The included Harmony Hub relays commands from this Logitech 915-000239 Home Control remote or Harmony app to a wide variety of home devices, whether for home entertainment or home automation, using IR, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and more.
 

Can two of these be used in the same house?

Yes. Each remote is married to its hub. I use the Elite in the Living room because I have more than five devices on that audio/video setup. I use Companions in each of our three bedrooms. They all work well.

Can I hook my home computer up to the tv and use it as a monitor also not a lab top but a windows computer?

If your computer has a HDMI output, then connection is simple. Otherwise, I’d recommend using a compatible video source to HDMI to allow connection I use a lightning to HDMI cable to connect either my iMac or MacBook Air and use the TV as additional workspace instead of just mirroring the computers output.
