Hi All,

I am using 6 Sonos speakers in multiple rooms at the same floor.
There are 2 accespoints with the same channel and same SSID .

When one accespoints is online the most 2 far removed speakers stutter sometimes or loses connection, the other speakers wont stutter or lose connection when this happends.

If I connect both accespoints then only 1 or 2 speakers keep working while it has the same configuration as the other accespoint.

I tried several things like changing the channels or disable mesh encryption but Sonos keeps failing.

I searched online for multiple options but it seems a lot of people have issues with the Sonos speakers with multiple accespoints in the same configuration.

Does anyone here know a solution so i can use all my Sonos speakers at once over 2 accespoints?

Kind Regards,

Agrippa

Hi,

We have a Denon AVR X4300 which is connected with speakers and we have surround sound for music, radio, etc.

We are having problems connecting FM internet radio stations to our Denon AVR X4300.

At most, 3 radio stations connect with use of internal FM radio antenna connected to Denon AVR X4300.

A different radio in the room, which is a basic radio with antenna, has over 10 radio stations it can connect to.

1. Which provides the best quality radio over the surround sound system; Internet radio or external FM Antenna?

2. If external FM Antenna is best quality for radio, what would be the best external/ outdoor FM DAB radio antenna to use for Denon AVR X4300?

3. No point in buying and installing an external antenna and then finding out the the sound quality is better on one of the internet services.
It would be redundant and annoying to finding that out later.

Thanks,
Robbie

How do I connect 3 HDMI devices (Apple TV, Spectrum Cable Box, DVD Player) to a Vizio Smart TV with 2 HDMI inputs?

The DVD player, Apple TV and TV do not have 3-RCA component connections.

I'm looking for a remote with just TV/Netflix, volume and channel change capabilities. noting else. This is for my elderly parent. She has to many buttons and gets things all messed up trying to switch between cable and Netflix.  Any suggestions?

Hello EE folks,

I thought this would be an easy find but after looking at more than fifteen systems, I am wondering if such a stereo exists.

I want to have the ability to play music in multiple rooms. We live in a small condo where BT range isn’t a problem.

Ideally, it should cost under $350.

Wattage and other features are mostly unimportant (except allow for BT source audio and an analog connection is nice to have). It should also look fairly plain looking, as opposed to some that are overly stylized with giant lights and exaggerated features. LOL

Thank you. :)

I'm looking to purchase a steam resistant Bluetooth speaker(s) that will be left in my bathroom.

This way I can play music while I am in the hot tub.

This speaker needs to be able to be plugged into a standard 120 volt AC outlet (since I don't want to pay for replacement batteries) and also needs to be able to withstand the steam and heat from the shower.

Please provide me with the best models of Bluetooth speakers for my bathroom.

I have a BluRay player with only HDMI out

In our church system I need an adapter so that it can go to VGA
And
Somehow split the audio

1/8" audio pin would be best ... that is what we have coming out of our audio system aoundboard.

I read this article:
https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/aek3za/bitcoin-could-consume-as-much-electricity-as-denmark-by-2020

which said in March 2016,

"he calculated that a single bitcoin transaction requires as much electricity as the daily consumption of 1.6 American households, and that number has increased since then"

Let's use his numbers just to find what the rough cost of the electricity was, at the point, for a single transaction.

The article also states "currently about 350 megawatts according to my own calculations, which is roughly equivalent to the electricity demand of 280,000 American households."

I calculate that at 1.6 times the daily requirement of a household, there are 5.48 MegaWatts used.



Please verify this logic is correct. And what is the cost of that amount of electricity?

Thanks

My computer is running Windows 7 pro.

Windows Media Center is discontinued.  

I want to find some program which allows me to use a remote and allows me to click on files and execute them.  Yes, I know there are wireless mice but I don't want to have to have a horizontal surface on which to operate the remote device.  A device similar to the Windows Media Center  remote would be ideal.  

No, I don't want to use Windows Media Center  .  I have had all kinds of problems with it because of Playready.  I DO NOT want to have to deal with Playready.  

What remote device can you suggest?

I have a Sky box and it is currently connected via a HDMI cable to my Denon AV receiver.

If the Denon AV receiver is left on 7 days a week it can be;
- Generating a lot of heat
- A fire hazard
- Using up a lot of electricity when not used

The Denon AV receiver is generally not used too much so would preferred to have it turned off until needed.

If the Denon AV receiver is not used, I would like the Sky box to use sound from the TV it would be connected too via a HDMI cable.

Is there a way to splitting a HDMI cable coming from Sky box to TV and Denon AV receiver so that when the Denon AV receiver is turned off, the Sky channels will still have sound?

Thanks,
Robbie

I am converting a garage into a room I will use for combination purposes.  Mostly it will be a home cinema. But as an ICT  business owner I will use it the odd time as a meeting room where I will be using MS Office, the Internet, etc. I will also use it as a training room as I train people but only once in a while. 15% meetings. 15% training. 70% Home Cinema. I have ordered the new & relatively low cost 4k Projector  Optoma UHD 65 plus a Motorised Screen for approx  $/€ 3,500.  However, I am becoming confused if I should just have ordered a 75" TV.  I can no longer see the benefit of a projector other than that the motorised screen will roll up revealing a Dry Erase board or a smart board,  as wall real estate is scarce that might be handy. I could also get a larger display, but I could live without that.  However a flat screen TV would be more compact,  might provide far more features on its remote control than a projector would,  has a better quality display, no consumables, doesn't need the room to be darkened etc.  Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.  Robbie.

It's the latest model Apple TV.
I am replacing a VCR with the Apple TV, and need the Audio and Video to be converted to connect to an old Marantz AV Receiver.

Is there an adaptor that will work and support Component as well as the 1-output Video?


Thanks

Can someone look at the below link and tell me what you think about this system. I know nothing about surround sound so im curious is this a pretty good system for a medium room. Let me know which you think is the best. I have a $600 budget some im trying to stay under it.
