It is a cable meant to take a RCA output and transfer it to a mini-jack input. And...It does it just fine!
Highly recommended because it just plain works and does NOT cost more than the equipment I am using it on!

So far, soooooo good! I rid myself of a fApple Watch because my iPhone went bouncing down the roadway and into a bazillion pieces none of which I could recover so that my warranty could be honored at Best Buy. My watch was pretty much made useless without the iPhone. Dumb. Really dumb. And I bought the warranty but could not safely get any of the parts as I was on a motorcycle and the road was BUSY!
So I bought this to go with an Android phone. UGH...Android is nothing special, but the watch is.
It has a tactile feeling of pure quality and seems to work well. My main complaint is that I cannot turn off the Blootoof so I CANNOT WEAR IT AT WORK! I filled out the survey by Withings and hopefully they will update it so I can turn it off when I am at work
If not, I have another month + to take this otherwise fine timepiece back and get something else that I can turn the Blootoof OFF on.
Recommended with the caveat that you CAN'T TURN OFF THE BLOOTOOF!!!!

The Roomba 600 series robot vacuum is a great way to begin cleaning your home smarter. It learns your cleaning habits and then offers up custom cleaning schedules—taking on daily dirt, dust, and debris from carpets and hard floors. It even has an edge-sweeping brush to get into corners and along edges. Google Assistant and Alexa compatibility let you start a cleaning session with just your voice, or simply use the iRobot Home App. When your area’s pollen count is high or during pet shedding season, the Roomba 600 series robot vacuum can even suggest extra cleanings —to help keep your floors clean every day of the year. *(Alexa and all related logos are trademarks of Amazon.com or its affiliates.

I bought this for my brother and his wonderful wife. I have both BobSweep and iRobot vacuums and they do too. But...Here comes the big but, iRobot has quickly become the family favorite.
They just plain work. I often say I do not buy anything that I would consider junque and iRobot is as far from that as one could get in the world of robotzied vacuums. Highly recommended by myself and my brother and his wife!
I have NEVER been disappointed by this brand and again, I don't buy garbage for those I love.

Poor connectivity issues (even after firmware updates) and ridiculously useless "touch controls" made these without much merit in my eyes and ears.
They could not hold a connection while my older Sony MDR XB950N1s worked as always, i.e., flawlessly. This was also evident in my test of the Sennheiser PXC 550iis and their Momentum 3 ANC headphones.
I was not willing to keep hoping these would work. Their noise cancelling was not up to the XB950s abilities either. I may have gotten a bad seed but I was not willing to keep returning and trying another pair, so...Back they went. Others have a different experience.
This is mine. Not theirs. ;-) No recommended by me at this moment in time.
I settled on the Bose QC45s as the keepers of my recent ANC headphone comparison and alternate between those and my excellent Sony XB950s! The Bose are better than the XM4s but so too are my Sony XB950s.

I recently tested several pair of ANC Headphones. The Sony WH-1000XM4s and the Sennheiser Momentum 3s and PXC 550iis,
I was thoroughly disappointed in all three of those models. They all displayed broken connectivity via BlooToof 5, continually dropping the signal entirely or stuttering connectivity that made it sound like it was 1955. Their noise cancelling was nothing to write home about and I was none too happy with that (or the poor connectivity for that matter!). Additionally, the touch controls of these headphones are nothing but fluff and nonsense. In the real world tactile buttons are much better. Familiarity does not breed contempt, it ensures COMFORT. There is SPACE aplenty on each of these 'phones to have had real buttons that you can use but apparently these manufacturers wanted to be "cutting edge". No thanks.
I have a pair of Sony XB950N1 that are vastly superior in connectivity and noise cancelling to all three of the models I just mentioned. They have easy to locate and use buttons too. And yes, I did any firmware updates that each 'phone recommended. The Sony WH-1000XM4 update was useless. And then...
...I bought the Bose QC45s. They work. They work as advertised. No problems before or after firmware updates. Their app works just fine too and works with my Bose Soundware Companions and my Bose Tempo Frames too!
The QC45s have the best ANC available bar none. They have zero BlooToof connectivity issues (YES!) and they have real buttons! I have seen reviews where the person claims that the WM4s will block out a lawnmower. Pfffffft! That is a canard if ever there were one. None of these headphones will do that. I tested them with our Dyson V7 Animal vacuum and the remove the sound of the power head quite well but the motor itself can still be heard. The QC45 is better but you can still hear the vacuum motor. I can still easily hear my music when vacuuming but am more than aware a vacuum is running. LOL!
Not a big deal and if it is to you, then you don't want headphones you want stickem-in-your-ear-plugs, LOL! Listen to music when you are done vacuuming.
The QC45 is excellent when compared to anything else currently on the market. They have real buttons (easy to find and use!), are beautiful to look at, feel and look like what they are, i.e., a QUALITY product made to last and reproduce music superbly with or without the ANC on. I do NOT require 57 levels of noise reduction. On or offf is just fine. The aware mode on the QC45s does just that. It allows you to be more aware of what is going on around you. I did not use the voice assistant as I can touch the screen on my cell phone, DAP (Digital Audio Player) or Grace Digital Link (the finest internet "streamer" available and the most affordable too!) to make my selection(s).
I cannot think of a viable or reasonable reason any sane (read: NOT a frAudiophile or audiofool, LOL!) would not think (as opposed to "feeeeeel") the Bose QC45s are not an excellent, quality product worthy of one's own hard earned money. Highly recommended? You betcha!

Yes, you read correct-o-mundo! These knives are excellent! I bought two sets, one for my brother and his wife and one for myself. Decades ago my brother used to work for Cutco and he told me that these knives are at least the equal of those he sold back then.

The Pioneer GM-DX874 four-channel amplifier will deliver up to 150 watts RMS to each of your front and rear speakers for powerful music. Highly efficient Class D technology keeps this powerful amp running as cool as it looks, and allows for a compact chassis that fits in a lot of out of the way spaces. The frequency response of this amplifier stretches up to 50,000 Hz, for Hi-Res Audio Certified playback. Pioneer uses high-grade electronic parts and gold-plated RCA connections to ensure maximum performance. Speaker-level inputs allow you to install this amp in a factory system with no RCA connections. The amplifier switches its input mode automatically when it detects the high-level signal, eliminating the need to run a turn-on lead to your receiver or fuse box. Built-in high- and low-pass filters let you adjust the sound for your vehicle's interior, whether you're driving speakers or subs.
Does this amplifier make a loud "POP!" when turning the audio system off or on, or does it have relays to prevent this annoying problem. I ask because the last time I put an amp in my truck (albeit years ago), the speakers did just that.

Shoot amazing videos and photos with the Ultra Wide, Wide, and Telephoto cameras. Capture your best low-light photos with Night mode.

And get all-day battery life² and a new level of water resistance.³ All in the first iPhone powerful enough to be called Pro.
Would anyone care to remark on how Apple CarPlay is compared to Android Auto? I have the latter and it kinda SUCKS as it often doesn't recognize the phone is plugged in or when I speak to it it will turn the radio UP LOUD and not hear me, etc? Thx!

Is Apple CarPlay any more reliable that Android Auto? Primary use is as a phone but when in my vehicles I use Android Auto for music and that app seems VERY "buggy", including connection problems out the wazoo! I have just about had it! Thx!

Can the wifi feature be disabled or turned off?
I never activated mine so as near as I can tell if it doesn't have access to your WiFi, that feature is not on.

Does my Total Tech cover me returning this TV or not? I just reset it to wipe out my streaming services. I give up. Hisense has not done squat for me. I am still a fan of Best Buy, just not this TV.
Hisense sent me an email a couple of weeks ago and said they would contact me. So far not a word. This is NOT Best Buy's problem. It belongs to Hisense.

Do TV's with Tuner Type ATSC 3.0 (NextGen TV) also work with atsc 1.0 signal?
In general most standards are backwards compatible. For example, Bluetooth. All the best!

My TV has a horrid "mosaic" affect on deep blacks that cannot be adjusted away. Also, this new TV "communicates" with my Denon AVR and turns on the AVR and starts turning on media players like Blu Ray and UHD Disc players. I hate this!!! HELP!!!!!
Thank you Roseb. The TV is hooked up properly and other than you kind reply I've found nothing to alleviate my problems with an otherwise fine TV.
I am giving it back under warranty. I have long since grown weary of they way this thing turns every freaking device on unless and worse. I have asked Hisense here for help but NOooooOOoooooooo!!!!!

I am thinking of moving my computer and hooking it up to a tv. I play high tech fast action games and looking for a tv that will handle the speed. I'm told the refresh rate is a major importance. I'm looking hopefully for a tv about 65 inch.

Google TV is the OS (Operating System) for this TV. You can simply buy a Roku, Amazon or some other device that features your preferred OS.

Does this have a fiber optic output
The TV has a Toslink/Optical Output. The TV is the audio source and as such it does not have an Optical input.

Two questions: I heard the U8K drops the HDMI signal, especially when using an HDMI splitter. Has this been a problem for anyone? I use an HDMI splitter to hook up multiple gane consoles. Also, have people run into dirty screen effect with the U8K?
8K is not widely (if at all) available via streaming. I spoke with my son who is an avid gamer and he said it isn't much of a deal in that environment.
If you split your source you are likely to suffer signal degradation unless you insert a device too boost said signal.

Can you use an Amazon Fire Stick with this TV, even though it’s Google? Apparently the cable company I am joining says they give you an amazon fire stick. Want to be sure it works with this TV. Thanks
Yes you can. I have done so via direct input of my Fire Stick 4K to the TV or via inputting the Firestick 4K into my Denon AVR-X4300H and it works superbly!
