Installed this unit to a Vaio laptop and once I figured out how to use the recovery discs, it has not skipped a beast. I am no hard drive expert and I don't want to be and this unit has done exactly what I was hoping.
Easy to install; Easy to program/install software; all is well in my laptop world! Note that I am using unit for a security camera system so reliability is key...so far so good!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have had Norton pretty much all my life and has served me well, but was not satisfied. Went to BB and a sales person recommended Kaspersky if I had at least an i5 processor...I have a Toshiba Satellite with i7. I removed Norton and some other programs, installed Kaspersky PURE 3.0 and use the tools within the app and I have had minimal to no problems. Note: It will bog down your CPU, so scans are best done at off hours.
The best so far is removing temp files and the like. You know how you put a check mark in the box to delete files when you close your browser...well it doesn't! However, Kaspersky PURE 3.0 will!!!!! It is an additional step, easy to access, and removes temp files plus additional cache and the like.
Simply put...the best Anti-virus, phishing, malicious, temp file removal tool I have ever used. Love it!!!!!

What's great about it: Appear to be high quality and will last!
What's not so great: Could be less expensive
Item works just fine and appears that they will stand the "test of time". Basic barrel connector so should be good pretty much forever if not abused.

Purchased for my son to connect his gaming device to stereo and tv during college. Item was installed and work as intended. Can be on the pricey side but I knew that I would only have to purchase once!

Wireless home theater speakers

My husband wants his back tv speakers to be wireless. He said there is something you can buy to hook into the receiver and than into the back of the speakers to do this. Does anyone know if this is true and if so, what is it called? thanks.
Yes you can and here it is...
Rocketfish™ - Universal Wireless Rear Speaker Kit - Black
You will need to provide power to the units.

how do I add more audio inputs to a Pionier SC55 receiver

I have just purchased a new Sc 55 receiver and I do not have enough audio ports for all the peripheral equipment. Is there a add on that I can use or some other solution?
Easiest way is a switch with the appropriate interfaces ie. coax, rca. There are also hubs ie, usb, hdmi. Again, you have to ensure your cable terminations are what you want. You can go so far and bring all "playing/output devices to a central location and connect to your stereo accordingly. This is one of those it can either be simple or as complicated as you want. Note: some devices can only connect to a hub and others to a switch. And who knows what they have come up with since I wrote this review...LOL!

Can this adapter be used with systems other than Bose?
No reason why you could not unless the cable/wall connector have proprietary technology built within. Otherwise, just a cable that plugs into a wall unit with wiring running within the wall to some central device(s).

bose speaker wire adaptability

i would like to use my current speaker wire. the adapter looks like its only for the wall, i would like it if could be used away from the wall
With cabling, you can always change length (some items may be sensitive to lengthy cable runs; do your homework). Not being familiar with the in-home bose prewiring, yes you can use away from wall. Not sure "current speaker wire" is. You could use barrel connectors and RCA cables in this situation.

 Monster Cable - XP 50' Mini Spool Speaker Cable
Monster Cable - XP 50' Mini Spool Speaker Cable
Wire your stereo or home theater speakers for impressive, cinema-quality sound with this 50' spool of speaker wire that features a Magnetic Flux Tube design for enhanced sound reproduction and LPE insulation for improved signal transfer.
 

What thickness is this cable?

I intend to use this cable for tower speakers of 150 watts.
Without having in hand, I would say the cable is 14-16 gauge...because it says Monster cable and they put out some pretty "solid" stuff. Your main concerns with stereo cable is distance and quality of wire. Since it is low voltage you wont burn anything up, but long runs with improperly sized wire creates resistance, thus quality at the speaker.
