Simple set up with a newer Sony TV
on November 30, 2016
Posted by: Tommy
I have a one year old Sony XBR65X930C that I bought from Best Buy last December. The picture is awesome but the sound is mediocre. I have the Sony hooked up to a home theater system for NetFlix and DVD movies and sports events but for general TV use, I don't want to pack hours onto my sound system so I got this sound bar for daily use.
Best Buy had an "open box" special that saved me $90. The soundbar and sub arrived safely but the "quick start setup" instructions were only in Spanish. No habla Espanol so I Googled the directions from the Sony website. I am using this sound bar for TV only (my DVD and turntable are on the main system) so setup required only one HDMI cable (supplied) connected to the TV HDMI ACC input and then into the back of the HDMI ACC output on the soundbar. Simple, eh? Not really quite that easy and it required turning the TV off a few times to get the sound bar to sync with the TV. All my FiOS remotes and my home theater remotes operate the soundbar volume. The subwoofer is simple - plug and play once the sound bar is hooked up. The sub also has it's own volume on the remote.
The volume is adjustable for multiple "soundfields" - the standard stuff like movie, music, sports, game and "clear" which sharpens voices.
In summary, once I found the directions in English online, it took about 15 minutes to pair the sound bar and sub with the TV. It took longer to mount the soundbar to my mantel than for setup and actual pairing would have been 5 minutes less if my cats hadn't turfed the mounting brackets and screws all over the kitchen floor. The price on this soundbar went up dramatically just a few days after I bought it for $209.00 for the open box. It's now $399 new (was $299) and open box is $279 so look around or wait ofr a sale to get the best price.

Superb quality, full featured, excellent coffee
on May 20, 2016
Posted by: Tommy
Best coffee maker I've owned. I had a Keurig machine and got sick of the limited coffee selection, the cost of the pods and the thought of littering landfills with those little cups,
Pro:
Great coffee
4 settings for coffee sizes
Removable water tank
4 coffee brewing choices - Classic, Rich, Over Ice and Specialty for concentrated coffee
Clean, high tech appearance
Easy to clean, no paper filters required - gold filter cone included
Brewing cone assembly is removable for cleaning
Stainless carafe
Travel mug included
Flip down tray to hold smaller cups closer to the brewer head
Timer for next day hands free brewing
Coffee is hot and stays hot if you pre heat the carafe with hot water
Use any coffee you want, no limits like the Keurig machines
Quiet operation - my Keurig machine sounded like a sump pump
Con:
The carafe is a little on the small side at 40 ounces. OK for two people

Update on this soundbar regarding setup
November 30, 2016
The setup wasn't so simple after all. After initial successful setup, I tested all the settings and turned the TV on and off multiple times and it was perfect. I shut it off for 30 minutes, came back and the sound bar was inoperative. 4 hours later after checking all the setup, HDMI settings, Googling the problem, I found the issue. With my Sony TV, I had to go into settings, then to "sound" and enable the "home theater" option. That fixed the problem. Hope that helps.
