I had no black ink operating in my machine. I thought the cartridge ran out which is normal obviously. As it turned out, my machines black print head gave out. The machine is going away.

Grade <F> DO NOT BUY
on September 15, 2017
Posted by: bikdav
from Andover, MA
Verified Purchase:Yes
The INSIGNIA 10.1 I bought did not last! Granted, I bought it "open box" and it appeared to be visually fine. But, when it came to using it, everything went sour. The tablet was very slow, unresponsive, and even crashed a few times. Nothing was smooth operating on it. Being the owner of an Android phone, I feel that that half of the problem is with Android. It is not as smooth as iOS or Windows. (I have an iPad mini and until recently had a Windows 8 tablet. Both ran circles around this tablet and Android for that matter). Shortly after the "grace period" for returning open box merchandise ran out, the INSIGNIA 10.1 that I had got worse and was just barely running. I ended up throwing it out. Fortunately, I got it cheap. As a result, I would say avoid this tablet.

Bailed Me Out
on September 1, 2017
Posted by: bikdav
from Andover, MA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I originally got my Boost Mobile account at Radio Shack back in 2012. I paid my monthly bill in person at Radio Shack. Well, we all know what happened to Radio Shack. I was up a creek. I went to another Boost Mobile dealer and paid my monthly bill with them. BUT, one morning I went to that dealer and they were not open yet. My monthly payment was almost overdue. So, I wondered into a nearby BestBuy to try the ReBoost prepaid card route. As it turned out, that worked fine. I did it online instead of calling Boost. Either way, I got the payment in on time.

Somewhat Familiar With This Product

Verified Purchase:Yes
I use the "commercial" version of S2316M at work, so I more or less know what to expect. The S2316M is just as good. The picture is sharp and color presentation is very good. This model does not have an actual HDMI input. If you insist on using HDMI, you have to get a DVI to HDMI converter (not very expensive and very simple). There is also a VGA input. By the way, this monitor is only supplied with a VGA cable.

It was either buy one of those big and bulky hard drive case combinations which look so "cool" or buy a nice compact thumb drive like this SanDisk Cruiser. I chose this unit because of its price and the fact that I wanted a "large" storage device without the show off factor. Yes, it does what I need it to do - storage of files that I don't need sitting on my laptop.

Very Good

My other printer unit malfunctioned while "self checking". It did this frequently. This ENVY5660 is simple to set up and simple to operate. It does not hold me up with self checking antics like the former unit did. My other unit had a document feeder, but I used it so rarely that I do not miss the option.

I was asked if I could put a recorded church concert on disc. So, I went out and bought these Verbatim DVD-R discs. DVD-R tends to play in older DVD players. So, I made the discs from the video stored on the computer and, voila!, the discs were made.

When I saw the price of this light set, I grabbed it right a way. It is not the in the same class as high end bike lights. BUT, it is a lot better than what bike lights use to be regardless of price.

can i use casseet player

That is what I'm doing. Since there is no "formal" tape loop, I'm using Zone 2 pre out for that purpose. It is not as convenient, but it works.

Will this unit receive OTA TV signals?

OTA is all done in the TV or DTV converter box. So, that should be no problem.

Will I be happy with this?

I'm a long time flag ship Denon and Integra customer, I picked out this because of customer comments and the CNET review I'm also a bit cash poor right now. Stopped at the store and picked up the unit, I think my last Denon box weight more than the 646. Is this really something more that cheep plastic junk?
Weight has absolutely nothing to do with performance or general manufacture. I can testify that the 646 is very well designed.

Is the second sub output for having two subs in a one room configuration or is it for a second zone only?

That is for 2 subs in one room. Zone 2 is 2 channel only - no sub.

Is the "Out Sub" HDMI Out just for sub woofers or could I run a second tv with it?

That is a full blown HDMI out. You can run a second TV from it. I am guessing that it is meant to run a TV in Zone 2 - but with 2 channel audio only. Your best bet is to download the operating manual and see what the real deal is here.

Only @ Best BuyEasily link audio devices with digital audio outputs to devices with analog audio inputs using this Insignia NS-HZ313 digital-to-analog converter, which is optical or coaxial input selectable to accommodate a wide range of audio devices.
 

Apple TV 3 compatible?

Will this let me connect an Apple TV 3 to a stereo receiver?
IF the Apple TV3 has an optical or coaxial out, then it should work. Make very certain that the output is switched on.

I have an older bose sound system with only an rca input. My tv only has hdmi in and out and an optical. Will this work? What options do I have?

It won't work with the HDMI (no such connection on it). But, it should work with the optical out. Make very certain that the TVs optical out is switched on. Some TVs are switched off by default.

does this monitor come with speakers built in?

i was recently convinced to buy a desktop pc and now i need a monitor and i want to know if this has speakers built in and if not what speakers do you reccomend that are inexpensive and have good quality
No. Like most monitors, this one has no speakers built in. Your desktop has a "3.5 mm" audio out [usually a green connection]. That is designed for computer speaker systems to plug in. There are lots of them out there for not a boatload of money. As a side note, you can also send the computer audio to a home stereo system with a "3.5mm" to left and right phono connector. I'm sure that you have seen plenty of those. IF you get a loud hum situation when doing that, stick a ground loop isolator between the two. That is not common with new computers, but be advised of that.
