If you have to pay taxes, you may as well do them right. This is a helpful tool that makes this chore easy. You can let the program guide you through or you can pick and choose what to work on. I've e-filed and am waiting for my direct deposit.

 Hisense - 65" Class U6H Series Quantum ULED 4K UHD Smart Google TV
Hisense - 65" Class U6H Series Quantum ULED 4K UHD Smart Google TV
Hisense continues its tradition of bringing affordable televisions with the latest technologies to the masses in the U6H series. In 2021, the U6G series made Quantum Dot Wide Color Gamut more accessible to the masses. In 2022, the U6H series expands on picture quality and audio upgrades and makes the transition to the Google TV operating system. The U6H series adds HDR10+ Adaptive and Dolby Vision IQ to its already long list of supported HDR formats. These technologies incorporate environment lighting considerations to their HDR interpretations making HDR more accurate given how dark or bright the lighting within the room. Game Mode gets an upgrade to Game Mode Plus and adds variable refresh rate at 60Hz for smoother gaming on next-generation game consoles. With Wisa-ready software, the U6H is now equipped to connect to the latest Wisa-compatible speakers for a complete surround sound experience without the need for running speaker wire throughout the room. Creating even more robust audio and visual experiences without price-gouging the consumer, the 2022 U6 series continues to be the Hisense television that’s great for everyone and now features a two-year warranty..

Replaced an older 55" tv with this 65" tv from Hisense. Our first time with this brand and we are both impressed with the picture. We stream tv and movies and have a blu ray player. I selected Theater Day mode and left most options in their default position. This is much brighter than our prior tv and the extra size is great for movies and sports. Mounted it on a hanging tv stand with tilt and swivel in minutes. Appears to be a great value for $489 on sale.

I bought this for the garage and it sounds great. I set it up in a hurry and was disappointed the next day. I adjusted the receiver tone controls the next day and it did not disappoint with the sound. The stick on foot pads are cheap for what this cost, but the sound makes me forget about those 2 cent micro foam pieces. I listen to classic rock and blues while working in the garage and it is very enjoyable now. Bought on sale.

Despite having hmdi connection that is supposed to sync with TV, I have to turn it on multiple times in order to hear sound. I hope it isn't a defect and gets worse over time. I would prefer the display to remain lit, but it is only brief. The setup is overly complex, but once you get it dialed in it sounds nice.

Is there a reason why I'm missing sound when I play a movie (via Amazon Prime app)? I’m using eARC with a new 8K HDMI cable and JBL center channel speaker. Some scenes there’s sound, some scenes no sound. Sounds works full-time with TV speakers.

Check the troubleshooter in manual and online. Some surround formats do not use center channel. It took me a week to adjust my 5.1 speakers to satisfaction.

I currently have the Denon AVR-S540BT. Would this Sony AVR be considered a downgrade or an upgrade from my current AVR?

Funny you asked. This is my replacement for that model. It is a tad better. The Denon is easier to set up, I think the Sony sounds better. The Sony is 7.2, but I use as 5.1. The Denon lost few surround sounds after warranty expired.

The T30 is the center channel speaker that puts its overpriced competitors to shame.

What’s more, it’s easy to setup, supports Dolby and DTS, and connects to most Home theater receivers, stereos or Home theater processors. Put the T30 center channel to the test and you'll hear how it rings true-in price and quality. Built for more than your viewing pleasure, the T Series hits the mark on great-sounding audio for all the music that fills your life. Don't fret, we'll pat ourselves on the back for you.
 

I have purchased Pioneer - Elite 7.2-Ch. Bluetooth Capable with Dolby Atmos 4K Ultra HD HDR Compatible A/V Home Theater Receiver - Black. Also, I already left and right pioneer speakers. Does the speaker compatible with my pioneer receiver?

A better question is whether this would fit with your speakers. The signal going to the speakers is electronic and similar spec'd receivers will sound the same through the same speakers. I have no experience with your setup, but most receivers are flexible and adjustable enough to fit right in. I have 3 different brands of speakers and I have my preferred sound dialed in.

Can the system be set up to play well with just two speakers? I only wanted to hook up my two Klipsch floorstanding speakers. There's barely any bass coming out. I tried adjusting the tone with bass +6 dB and there wasn't much difference.

You can set your speaker to "large" for speakers capable of handling the bass frequencies. Default is "small." You can also change the crossover frequency. I would recommend downloading the pdf manual for the receiver, as it contains a lot if information on the myriad of options the receiver has.
