I have the last of the Pioneer Elite plasma TVs. This TV is brighter and does well in a bright sunlit room. The menu is easy enough to understand, but I am happy I had the Geek Squad set it up, setting the default parameters. Since buying it, I have learned that it has one of the most powerful and advanced processors that will allow for future upgrades. I compared it to the LG OLED in the Magnolia showroom. The Sony seemed brighter, I am happy with the choice.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Control your life with the Amazon Echo. It started with a music player that could play anything from Prime Music to Spotify and Pandora, and it gives you hands-free convenience, yet it can now control lights, switches and thermostat and answer questions thanks to advanced voice recognition. Use the Amazon Echo to order an Uber or even pizza from Domino's.

Every day Alexa learns new skills. She sets the temperature on my Nest, waters my lawn, times my cooking, keeps my shopping list, etc. The only problem I have had is when I listen to Jeopardy and a woman contestant answers with "WHO IS ..." Alexa answers.

This is the older model. The newer one is water resistant. It sets up easily and fills the room.

I have MacBook and also run Windows through boot camp on my mac, can I use this external hard drive for both operating systems and also with my Xbox one with no problems? I would also be using a Usb hub/dock for the extra ports on the laptop

It comes formatted for NTFS for Windows, so it will work on Windows. If you want to read it on a Mac you will need a program like Paragon's NTFS for Mac.

Can I use this on a sump pump?

Check the watts on the pump and compare it to the stats on the specs re time at that draw. Clearly, it should not be in a damp place.

I want to buy a sony tv that is not a smart one. What do I need to set it up. I am not using cable. Are there any special connectors I need to plug into the wall

What is your signal source? Do you need an HDMI or other cable to connect? I would also get a surge protector.

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!

I use the system with a Sony 65 in and an optical cable. It knows. The system is set up and calibrated with an iPhone app. Unbelievably easy.

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?
Get its proprietary bracket. It makes it easy to mount.
