Tried others that failed.
Use the app with light switch too.
Required plug to be compatible with whole home app (use iMaster control-out of production- and iRule).

I would recommend this to a friend!

Case fits great. Bought on sale, otherwise over priced. Easy to use external controls for on/vol/mute. Only negative is waterproof headphone jack could be larger for using head phones without waterproof adapter.
May be moot point with iPhone 7 without headphone jack.

I bought an Atmos receiver and upgraded speakers. I have 1080 projector. Sound is awesome with Dolby Atmos! Not all UHD discs are Dolby Atmos mixed. The sound upgrade was worth the cost.

My prior APC UPS battery died and this model matched the specs and was only mildly more expensive than a new battery and with frequent blackouts and brownouts a new UPS was needed.

Worth the cost if you like this genre of music. I still prefer CDs to mp4. I encode AIFF for stereo use and mp4 for iPhone/iPod use.

Already had Hue hub, so additional light for bedroom light was great add on. Price was great compared to standard LED light, plus I can control with my 3 different iPhone apps. I have the Philips app and 2 apps that control other devices making it easier when you have to control 2 different companies devices at the same sitting.

Sony - Home Cinema VPL 1080p HD SXRD Projector - Black

Create a true home theater experience with this Sony cinema projector. A 215W lamp delivers up to 6,000 hours of viewing time, and the built-in 3-D transmitter lets you watch 3-D movies with beautiful clarity. Featuring nine calibration modes, this Sony cinema projector optimizes images for TV, sporting events and films.

How can I connect this Sony VPL 1080p SXRD projector with a sound bar? I tried many different sound bar but cannot connect to it. The advisor at Best Buy told me thet the projector doesn't have a hole for sound, so how can this projector give sound?

It doesn't. You connect through a receiver. You can use optical out from your source to your sound bar . They make ian expensive HDMI switches if you have multiple output devices which also have optical out and or coax digital out if your sound bar accepts.

Sony - Home Cinema VPL 1080p HD SXRD Projector - Black

Does this come with a ceiling mount adapter? If no, how much? Either way, can it be used with the Chief ceiling mount already installed at my house? Thank you!

Best Answer

It does not come with a mount. I was able to use my mount from Sony HS10. Depending on your adapter you may be able to use your mount/adapter. I believe Chief adpters are about $100 if your current mount doesn't have the correct screw configuration.

TiVo Roamio Pro DVR: Combine TV and Web entertainment with 1 device. Simultaneously record up to 6 shows, pause live TV, and access streaming services like Netflix, Hulu Plus and YouTube. Store a significant collection of movies and shows with 3TB of storage.

Will the new Tivo record and play my dvd's like my old Tivo

I own a number of DVD's and occsaionaly rent one, can I play these on the Tivo. I have an old original Tivo that will not work with the all digital cable. It will play my own dvd's so I don't need a separate dvd player . Also it will burn dvd's. will the new Tivo do the same?

Current versions have no DVD slot, so the answer would be no,

TiVo - Roamio Plus DVR - Black

TiVo Roamio Plus DVR: Expand your entertainment options with a DVR and streaming media player in 1 device. Record up to 6 shows at once and access streaming services like Netflix, Hulu Plus, YouTube and more.

Please clarify

If I were to buy a TiVo Roamio can I get local broadcast programming by just having an Internet connection? The information is a bit confusing and don't want to end up buying TiVo then having to subscribe to a cable package too. I might as well just get cable tv.

You need cable subscription for the Roamio plus/pro boxes. Tivo does make a box that is for over the air reception and thus doesn't need cable subscription. The advantage of box is Tivo supplies local guide and ability to record seasons of shows recording either current season or only new shows depending on which you choose.
