As all the other Canon Inks that I have used over the past 2 decades, these Canon PGI/CLI inks produce clear text and graphics and brilliant photos. Likewise, they are expensive in light of number of items that can be printed before their cartridges run dry. However, I am not confident that the cheaper replacement inks are as good or have the resistance to fading that the Canon inks have. I have framed prints that have been hanging on my walls for over a decade and they looks as good as they did after they first dried on the day I printed them. So I will continue to bite the bullet and use them, but they get 4 stars rather than the 5 stars that the technical quality of the inks deserve.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Spin your favorite classic LPs with this Audio Technica automatic turntable. The DC servo belt drive keeps the motor running at a constant speed for optimal performance, while a fully automatic mechanism lets you play vinyl records with the touch of a button. This Audio Technica automatic turntable has an RCA output for wired connectivity to powered speakers, computer or stereo.
 

If plugged into a stereo amplifier with stereo speakers, would this turntable produce stereo sound when playing a stereo record?

does it come with a charger

It comes with a power cord, but you have to provide the charger. I use a Samsung-approved 45W wall charger that I bought separately, and I charged up my tablet from 33% to 100% in about 90 minutes. Lower wattage chargers work, but charging times are significantly longer.

Connect up to 4 devices to the coaxial connection from your cable or indoor/outdoor VHF/UHF/FM antenna with this mini drop amplifier. It works with the DC power provided by components, or with the AC power provided by the included adapter.
 

Do I add an additional cable when installing this or change it out/replace it with the existing cable wire set up?

I used the power cord that came with this amplifier/splitter. Otherwise, I used the old, but high-quality cables that went to and from my old amplifier/splitter. All work well.

How do I get the volume level number to display? It doesn't show when changing volume on TV remote. Connecting via HDMI Arc

Try using your Signa S2 remote once right when you turn your TV on. After that, use your TV or streaming remote to change volume and see if the volume number is displayed. This process works for my set up. Good luck.

what is the range of the cameras from the wi fi for the best video

It depends on your WiFi speed and strength of signal from your router. My router is about 18-20 feet from each camera, and my average upload speed is about 48-50 mb per second. Everything works well except that my audible notifications lag at least 3 seconds and sometimes up to 15 seconds. If you have a faster internet connection that I do, and a good router, then 20 feet or so should work for you.

Cover all your photo printing needs with this pack of Canon printer cartridges. It includes cyan, magenta, yellow and black and works with PIXMA printers.
 

What 5 catridge pack do I purchase for the TR8520 printer?

I tried using Canon's website, but they do not list the TR850 printer. Searching on Google, I get results that suggest that Canon PG-245XL/CL-246XL/GP-502 Black/Color Ink Cartridges would work. Since these ink cartridges are expensive, I would contact Canon directly before purchasing ink.
