This is a compact 2 TB drive that works well. There are two provisos. The first I was aware of and it does not detract: it is formatted in NTFS and has to be reforrmatted in Disk Utility for the Mac. The one drawback that I see (4* instead of 5*) is that it has what I would call a proprietary on board socket for its USB cable. So, don't lose it. A standard mini or micro USB or even a USB-3 cable will not work.

As described, this is a compact, functional and affordable UPS and surge protector. I rate it only 4 stars because it does not have a user accessible / replaceable battery

I purchased this at the recommendation of the Best Buy staff for connecting a DirecTV 4K receiver to a 4K TV. It works just fine. For other connections including Apple TV, I used the less expensive AudioQuest - Pearl 6.6' In-Wall HDMI Cable which works for those devices.

I bought several of these to hook up my Apple TV to a variety of TVs without having to access the back of the TV every time. I also connect DirecTV receivers as well. They work just fine. I don't know why one would need a more expensive cable. (Though to be honest, I did get the Insignia™ - 6' 4K UltraHD HDMI Cable for my 4K DirecTV to a 4K TV.)

Has the usual features of a clock radio. It has a long enough tooth to place an iPhone in with a case, tho it takes a little fussing to get it set in. It has an additional USB charging port so that can be a back up.

This system has a few extras. It has, though, incredible Bluetooth range. It picks up my iPhone from the bedroom when the base is in the kitchen. I don't know, but maybe the satellites also relay the Bluetooth signal. In short, it allows me to answer our iPhones from wherever we have one of these phones. It has redial and announces caller ID. It has no speakerphone capability. The price is good looking at its features, though it does not have all the features of the more expensive sets

I have not used this as a radio, though I did listen to it enough to know it has good tone. It charges my iPhone in its case and charges my Apple Watch. When you set the iPhone in the cradle, it corrects the time on the clock. Placing the watch on the pedestal takes a little balancing with the metal band, but once there, it is stable. The watch hangs vertical so it does not go into the usual nighttime clock mode. I like it.

Hard to believe the sound
Customer Rating

I toyed with the idea of separate, larger speakers, a receiver, etc. I opted for a SONOS system with wireless rear speakers and woofer. I cannot believe the sound. First the Songs system calibrates the room using an iPhone app. The frontal separation is quite remarkable, distinguishing right and left within a conversation on the 65 in TV, The surround sound is so effecting it is a bit unnerving in some movies, to the point that I turn around to see what is behind me. I am so happy I went with this system.

Will the Sonos Playbar support Dolby 5.1 with my new Sony X930D 55" television? I see some people say it will not but also that Sony released a firmware to allow Dolby 5.1 pass through via optical out. Would that give me 5.1 through the Playbar? Thanks!

Ethernet Connection
I want to make sure I completely understand how this system works. I am considering the soundbar and sub which is a 3.1 setup but may want to go ahead and purchase the 5.1 package. I will need to run this system over wifi as I do not have a wired connection in the room. Can I get by without a wired internet connection and get the advantage of 5.1? I am also considering the Bose 130 system. Thanks!
My system is entirely wireless (after plugging in to power.). The instructions are as clear as can be. Plug in the Soundbar. Download the app. Ad whatever additional Songs speakers yo have, woofer and/or rear. It tells you when to add them and plug them in. Then the app calibrates the system. I am sure that you can start with the frontal bar, and the you can run the app again as you add additional components.

Can it attach to a universal speaker bracket?
I have a Samsung TV that is already attached to a wall mount and it has a speaker bracket attached at the bottom. Is this able to attach to that without any issues?
