I can't say if it actually provides surge protection, but it seems to work well enough otherwise. The side facing outlets are nice, and they are spaced well. It's justin little pricey.

My only complaint is that it's only USB 2.0, not 3.0. So it's not as fast as new (more expensive) flash drives. But it did the job and was cheap.

As long as they are fairly fresh from the manufacturer, what more can you expect. A little pricey,but sometimes the brand names are worth it. Put them in the new shower radio and it came on, so all is good with the world (at least as far as these batteries are concerned).

Bought to go with a new Lenovo X1 Carbon that lacks an internal CD drive. Got this as it was the smallest and least expensive one they had in the store. I wish it played BluRay, but that wasn't critical. Plugged it in and Windows 8.1 recognized it right away. Small, powered by USB. What more can you ask for.

What's great about it: Size, features
What's not so great: haness cables very small gauge, not a lot of powe
I got this to replace a 20 year old Alpine in my boat. It's installed in a cuddy cabin, so I didn't need to get a waterproof unit, but felt better getting one.
Install was pretty easy. The cables are well marked and the instructions, while a little light, are sufficient. I just wish they uses a little larger gague wiring on the harness. You go an run high gauge to your speaker only to have to splice it into 20 or smaller gauge wires on the harness.
I wish it had pre-amp outs for all 4 speakers, but you have get the model with the CD player for that, and I didn't want or need a CD player. While it's rated at 22 W (50 W Max), it struggled to drive the Kenwood 6.5" marine speakers. I ended up moving down to 3-way Dual enclosed speakers, which sound better with the power of this amp (they have 4" woofers).
I recommend using an external amp if you want to get good bass and volume out of this unit. It's small enough that you can fit an amp in the back of the hole where this unit goes (it's shorter than a normal head unit because it doesn't have a CD drive).

What's great about it: light, inexpensive
What's not so great: battery type, need to be bigger
It's a pair of 3D glasses that are light and work pretty well. They connect quickly to new Samsung 3D TVs (Bluetooth) and work reasonably well. My biggest compliant with all 3D glasses is that they let too much light in around the sides. You want a dark room for the best 3D effect, but that's not always possible, and light leak can lead to headaches.
Highly recommend them, especially for the price. It's hard to even find 3rd party ones for less than these.

Are you limited in the app on how many devices can be programmed. I don't plan to use the remote, I want to use this with Amazon Echo instead. Seams like it should have unlimited if you don't have to worry about how many programmable remote buttons.

Tv has digital audio out and RCA left and right out .How do I convert to Optical
Is there a converter that can be used to connect digital audio out jack on the tv , to the optical cable that goes to the sound bar? Thank You
Check Monoprice, they might have an Analog to Digital Converter that might do this. I have one that does the opposite (optical to analog stereo that works well).

ecobee - ecobee3 Programmable Touch-Screen Wi-Fi Thermostat (2nd Generation) - Black/White
ecobee ecobee3 Programmable Touch-Screen Wi-Fi Thermostat: Maintain a comfortable home with this programmable thermostat, which is Apple® HomeKit-enabled, so you can control the temperature remotely using your compatible device. Home IQ helps you conserve energy.
Can the ecoe 3 be used with gas system to heat water?
I use a sun heater system for the bath. When the sunlight is out for many days, I need to turn on the gas system manually. Can the ECOBEE 3 detect the temperature of the water into the reservoir and turn on the gás system? Thanks.
I highly doubt it, but you can call ecobee support to verify. They are pretty helpful. As this is all based on room temp, I don't see how it would be able to trigger your water heater reliably (if at all).

how many watts is the subwoofer ??
whats the watts of the subwoofer ????
Per the LG website, it's rated at 200W. But I think that is an ideal number at maximum gain. It's a small woofer, so it's not going to reach the really deep lows if that is what you are looking for.

Direction book
I bought a open box from best buy. There was no manual with it. Is there somewhere on the net I can download a manual?
Yes, on the LG website. Just search for the product model number. And actually, the manual that came with it was just a quick setup guide, you have to go to the website to get anything more detailed. But I'll be honest, there isn't a lot to the manual on the website either. There just isn't a lot to be said about this unit, I guess.

We already have the TV (which is wall-mounted), but I don't want the soundbar if they won't play nice together.
Thanks!

As long as your TV has either an HDMI port with ARC (Audio Return Channel) or a digital optical output, then it will work with this. I'm using it with a 8 year old Panasonic plasma with no issues. I just have a digital optical cable from the TV to the soundbar and all the sources (blu-ray, fireTV, appleTV, etc.) are connected to the TV. You leave the sound bar on the Optical input and just change the inputs on the TV. It couldn't be easier.
If you have a newer TV that supports the HDMI control channel, then your TV remote can control the volume on the soundbar.
