devices

I have a one year old denon dra-800h stereo receiver. From the beginning, I streamed music from apple devices using the airplay 2 functionality. This worked directly from the music apps on my iphone, ipad, mac, etc. However, starting about a month ago, the receiver drops the signal after roughly...

Hello. I've already got a Sony HMZ-T3W (Japan import with the supposedly region-exclusive OLED displays, different to the ones the used for RoW units). It's great and everything, but a pain in the bum to keep setting up if I want to watch a 3D Blu Ray (and occasional over/under Laserdisc in my...

I replaced my Asus AC-RT86U + Linksys EA4500 with a Linksys Velop 3-node system yesterday. Very happy with the setup and performance so far. At the end of the day I had 27 devices connected and renamed so that I know exactly what everything connected to my network is. This morning I saw that...

Good evening, I’m looking for advice on whether you can actually get Alexa to read a bedtime story on multiple devices at the same time? We have 2 x Echo Dots in the kids bedrooms and 1 x Echo in the kitchen. I’ve created a group for the individually named Echo Dots and called it “Kids Room”...

Does anyone know if it's possible to sync YouTube ( paid for version) music playlists between devices? I created a playlist on my Windows laptop, expecting to see it appear on my android phone, on the logged in app, but it doesn't. Any suggestions gratefully received.

Apologies if I am a bit late to the party on this; This week I used my DP-UB9000 Blu-ray player to watch movies on Netflix, whereas normally I watch movies through Sky Q. While Sky Q offers 4K movies etc. I noticed that with the UB9000 there were high grade options such as DTS, Atmos etc...

Can anyone recommend an app where I can store all my music on one device (ideally a tablet), leave it on 24hrs a day, and control it with other devices, including mainly my phone and my laptop? The tablet would then sit plugged into my amp in a cupboard, and say I wanted to play a particular...

I've just swapped to one of the newer Denon AVRs which is somewhat lacking in USB power outlets. I've got a chromecast and a firestick 4k, and was wondering whether anyone has used any of the multiple USB charging adaptors as power supplies for such devices. Thinking something like the Anker...

Hi guys, hopefully someone with some experience with these devices wouldn't mind helping me out. I've been meaning to research these devices for years but honestly just never have the time anymore. For year and years I have organized all my DVDs and BDs by using AnyDVD to rip them to ISO and...

Hi folks, firstly I know this may have been discussed/solved before, but my situation is somewhat unique and I am completely out of ideas (bar one which I will be trying shortly). This may be a lengthy post but I'd appreciate if people wouldn't mind reading it all as I want to make sure I don't...

HI All, not totally sure this question belongs here so yell if I am wrong... I have a vast collection of CDs, and i need to liberate space...I'm not sure what to do with them all yet, whether to try and sell them or 'archive' them (ie, stick them in the loft or the garden shed...), but what I...

I have a few times tried to find tablets and phones etc with Bluetooth in a higher flavour than just basic. I was a few times pointed at a link of aptx devices but this link I was given seems very small and not updated. I will not try and convert anyone to Bluetooth streaming but imo it has...

Looking at getting into the whole smart lights/sensors etc... but are well aware of the risks of some of them when on your local network with other devices so was looking at purchasing a switch which will allow me to set different vlans to keep the IOT devices separate to my proper devices like...

Hi All I've had a Harmony Elite managing all of my AV devices in my lounge for 5 or 6 years . The setup and configuration has remained constant for at least 3 years and everything was working fine until about a month ago when the Elite suddenly stopped controlling my Panasonic TV. All other...

Hi all, Merry Christmas but not so much for my son. :( Almost a year to the day he got his PS5, my son’s console decided to break down yesterday. His PS5 displays the message in the title, keeps lagging and very slow to respond from the menu stage. Games are next to unplayable. I didn’t buy...

Hi As my harmony wasn't controlling everything sufficiently using my new TV I have changed to cec. However, all devices connected to my denon 2400h are powering on whenever anything is turned on. Also my apple tv seems to be trying to change input all the time. Anyone got any ideas how I could...

I paired my JLab Epic Sports earphones to my new Samsung TV. Great for listening when my husband needs to concentrate on his book! Now I want to use my earphones with my iPad, which I have had paired for months. When I switch the earphones on, the Samsung tv shows up and I can’t connect to my...
