front loader washer with a full load capacity of 6.0 kgs and maximum
spin speed
of 1400 RPM. It is sold in ceramic white. It features, dial knob
programme controls with a convenient Push & Wash button that starts a
wash cycle even when the machine is "cold" or off.<br />
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Attractive Features of the Indesit XWD-61452 Washing Machine</b> </h2>
This washer machine has a number of attributes that make it particularly suitable for its function and include the following;<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Sport</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
By pressing this button you are able to select the most suitable programme for your sports clothing, and is designed to remove dirt while preserving fabric properties. This option presents you with three levels of wash cycle customization;<br />
- <i>Sport Shoes, </i>a wash cycle designed to safely wash up to 2 pairs of sports shoes in one go.<br />
- <i>Gym Kit, </i>a wash cycle designed for washing any type of sports clothing together with gym towels.<br />
- <i>Technical Wear, </i>a wash cycle designed for washing waterproof garments or clothing with special fibres like<br />
Gore-Tex, etc. It optimises washing performance and preserves fabric technical properties over time. Fabric softeners are not advised for technical wear.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Easy Iron</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
The Easy Iron function modifies the wash and spin cycles in such a way that crease formation is greatly reduced. In effect, what your Indesit XWD-61452 does, is to reduce the speed of rotation of the drum towards the end of the wash cycle.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Extra Rinse</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
When you select this option, your washer's rinsing efficiency is increased and more detergent is removed from your laundry. This is particularly applicable for garments with sensitive skin.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Fast Forward</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
The Fast Forward function allows you to end the wash cycle in less than the select programme time. Pressing this button ends the wash programme in only 20 minutes. In effect, the machine performs a brief rinse cycle followed by a spin cycle at maximum 800 rpm or lower. You should note that the Fast Forward function reduces the washing and rinsing performance. <br />
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<b>
Tech specs of the Indesit XWD-61452 Washing Machine</b></h2>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Water inlet hose pressure</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
You should connect your washing machine to a water inlet that
delivers water at a pressure within the range of 0.5 bars to 10 bars for
optimum performance.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Dimensions</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
This washing machine measures approximately 59.5 cm on its
width, 85 cm on its height and 54 cm on its depth.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Load and Drum
Capacity</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
The lowest garment load this washing machine can take is 1
kg, while at full load; it takes a maximum of 6 kgs of garment load. Its drum
capacity is rated 52 litres of water.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Spin speed</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
You can vary the Spin speed from 0 up to a maximum of 1400
Rotations Per Minute (RPM) using the spin speed knob. The zero (0) corresponds
to the delicate wash cycle in which the spin cycle is turned off, while 1400 is
for extremely soiled cotton fabric wash cycles.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Power Requirements
</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;"><ul>
<li><h4>
<b>Power input</b></h4>
</li>
</ul>
</ul>
The Indesit XWD-61452 takes in AC 220-240V, at 50/60Hz. Be sure
to check the nameplate as this will always differ depending on your
region.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;"><ul>
<li><h4>
<b>Power Consumption in
operational mode</b></h4>
</li>
</ul>
</ul>
The Indesit XWD-61452 Washing Machine is an A++ class
machine according to the EU power rating labels. The rating tests are carried
out on Cotton Standard 60° (Programme 8) and Cotton Standard 40° (Programme 9)
and conform to the 1061/2010 directive. Programme 8 and 9 are for normally soiled
cotton laundry; they give you the most energy efficient and minimal water
consumption. Accordingly, this Indesit XWD-61452 uses approximately 172 kWh of
electricity per year. These values are subject to change depending on how you
use the machine.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;"><ul>
<li><h4>
<b>Power consumption in
off-mode </b></h4>
</li>
</ul>
</ul>
This washing machine still consumes power
when in off-mode; approximately 0.5W. Therefore, you should always power off
the mains from the wall socket when you are done with your laundry.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;"><ul>
<li><h4>
<b>Power consumption in
on-mode</b></h4>
</li>
</ul>
</ul>
To cut on your power bills, never leave your Indesit XWD-61452 powered on. In the on-mode, it consumes about 8.0W. It might seem insignificant, but if on average,
you leave your washing machine on for an hour each week, in a year that adds up
to approximately half a unit. And from my experience, if there are more people handling the machine, the more likely
it is to be left on. On the other hand, the washer has mechanism that turns it off after 30 minutes if left without any load.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Water Consumption</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
Basing on 220 standard washing cycles for cotton programmes
8 and 9, at 60 and 40 degrees temperature at full and partial load, the
Indesit XWD-61452 washing machine approximately uses up 8376 liters of water in
one year. You should note that this is just an estimation, actual water consumption can vary depending on which
programmes you use.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Spinning and Washing Noise level </b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
We all detest noisy washing machines. Thankfully, the
Indesit XWD-61452 is not one of them! The washing cycle produces low humming noise
about 59dm noise level. It becomes slightly noisy for spinning cycles
giving out 81dm of noise. for is quiet during its washing and spinning
phases.
smelly washing machine.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Spin-drying efficiency</b> </h3>
</li>
</ul>
Spin drying efficiency is measured on a scale from G to A; where
G denotes minimum efficiency and A maximum efficiency. Basing on this
scale, the Indesit XWD-61452, scores a class B efficiency. Residual
moisture content for programmes 8 and 9 is estimated at 53%. <br />
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<b>How Cleaning Washing Machine regularly will prevent bad odours</b></h2>
If
your washing machine smells, just know cleaning is long over due. You
should make it a habit to clean your washing machine regularly;
preferably once in every three months. That way you will stave off any
bad smells and keep your laundry smelling ever fresh. The cleaning tips
presented here much as have been used on an Indesit XWD-61452 washer,
very much apply to any front loader washing machine since they change
very little from manufacturer to manufacturer.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>Causes of bad smells in a Washing Machine</b></h3>
If your washing machine smells, just know there is an accumulation of any of the following;<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h4>
<b>Scum</b> </h4>
</li>
</ul>
Scum will always be a problem if your washing machine uses hard
water. Hard water naturally contains dissolved magnesium and calcium
salts that make it difficult to foam lather with ordinary soap and react
with detergents and soap to give a froth called <i>scum</i> (chemically called <i>stearate</i>)
during the washing cycles. Sometimes, during the rinsing and draining
process this scum is not completely washed away and gets stuck onto the
drum, and rubber seals. Due to dampness, the scum presents a good
breeding ground for microbes to grow in a process known as fermentation.
The fermentation process creates bad smell in your washing machine.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h4>
<b>mildew and molds</b> </h4>
</li>
</ul>
Mildew and Molds are fungi plants that thrive in moist
conditions. If your washer machine has residual dirt, scum or detergent
inside the drum, and is not allowed to dry fully by leaving the porthole
door ajar for some time, then mildew and molds will sprout and hence
the bad odors.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h4>
<b>Residual bleach, soap and detergent</b> </h4>
</li>
</ul>
Sometimes, you may run your XWD-61452 washer without performing
the rinsing process. This leaves some residual soap and detergent inside
the machine. This over time begins to ferment giving off a bad odour.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h4>
<b>Residual dyes from coloured garments</b> </h4>
</li>
</ul>
There are certain fabrics that are delicate to washing with your
washer machine because they give off a residual dye. Such clothes
include most Jean clothing. During the wash cycles, this clothing leaves
a residual dyes and once mixed with detergent over time give off a bad odour.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h4>
<b>Clothing with Bad Odour</b> </h4>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
Sometimes you may use your washer to wash clothes that have been 'stained with bad odour' from say sweat, smoking and fried foods, baby poop, urea, etc. By not using a proper rinse for such clothing, these odours remain in the machine and if the drum is not allowed to dry after the wash, a foul smell results.<br />
<br />
<div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>How to clean Your Washing machine</b></h3>
<br />
Your
Indesit XWD-61452 washing machine has an internal Auto Clean programme
for automatically cleaning the internals with no load in the drum.<br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Add vinegar to the detergent compartment in the detergent dispenser
and fill to the mark. [Do not exceed the mark]. Vinegar comprises of
mainly acetic acid that dissolves all the dirt, scum and mildew inside
the drum of your washer.</li>
<li>Add caustic soda to the fabric softener compartment.</li>
<li>Press the "Fast Forward" and "Easy Iron" Buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds to start the Auto
Clean cycle. The Auto clean Cycle will last approximately 70 minutes.
You may interrupt the Auto Clean cycle by pressing the START/PAUSE
button.</li>
<li>When the Auto Clean programme is completed cut off the water and electricity supplies.</li>
<li>Clean outer parts and rubber seals of the washing machine using a
soft cloth or sponge soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use
abrasives and solvents as they will degrade the aesthetics of the
washing machine.</li>
<li>Remove the detergent dispenser drawer and thoroughly clean it using a
sponge soaked in lukewarm soapy water and rinse it thoroughly under
running water. An old toothbrush can be handy in removing "stubborn"
stains. To remove your Indesit XWD-61452 detergent dispenser drawer,
locate the lever latch inside the drawer. Press the lever downwards and
pull the drawer outwards. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</li>
<li>Locate and clean the your washers pump pre-chamber. Your washing
machine is fitted with a selfcleaning pump but sometimes, small items
(such as coins or buttons) may fall into the protective<br />pre-chamber
at the base of the pump and have to be cleaned out from time to time. To
access the pre-chamber: Locate the cover panel at the base of the front
face of your Indesit XWD-61452. Using both hands press it in the centre
from either side while pushing it downwards until you can remove it.
Upon removing the cover, you will see a lid, turn it anticlockwise to
access the pre-chamber. Clean the inside thoroughly, screw the lid back
on and reposition the cover panel, while ensuring the hooks are properly
aligned to your washer.</li>

<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Features of the Sennheiser HD 558</b></h2>
<ul class="product_features" style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Open circum-aural headphones with E.A.R. technology </b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
The Sennheiser HD 558 are full size headphones with earcups
fully wrapping around your ears and have been designed to give you
outstanding sonic accuracy and clarity while ensuring your listening
comfort for extended periods through Sennheiser's intuitive "Eargonomic
Acoustic Refinement" (E.A.R.) design. The E.A.R design ensures all
audio signals are directly into your lugholes while maintaining maximum
comfort.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>DuoFol Diaphragms </b> </h3>
</li>
</ul>
DuoFol diaphragms are thin membrane films attached to a
voice coil. They are designed to create a wide sound stage with ultra-fast
response and rest times for improved sound transparency and minimal distortion. The size and shape of the diaphragms is ingeniously crafted to limit
intermodulation distortion. In simple terms, when an audio signal at a
given frequencies passes through an imperfect audio system, several
noise frequencies will be present at the output which are either
multiples, sums and differences of frequencies of the original audio
signal, though much weaker than the desired audio signal frequencies. This
distortion becomes significant when the volume is turned up!<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Neodymium Ferrous Magnet and Aluminium Voice Coils</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
The permanent magnets adopted for the Sennheiser HD 558 are
highly optimized and field-strengthened neodymium ferrous magnets. This
coupled with lightweight aluminum voice coils provide an almost linear dynamic
response and efficiency.<br />
<div>
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Surround Reflector </b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
The HD 558 are designed with open earcups that create a
spatial field - a perception of distance from the sound source. To
improve on this, the HD 558 is further equipped with a surround
reflector to provide an extended spatial sound field.</div>
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Velour Ear pads and Leatheratte headband</b>
</h3>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The HD 558 Ear pads are made of
velour fabric, which makes them have a smooth and tender feel to provide
extra wearing comfort during listening sessions. Its headband is lined
with leatheratte - an imitation of leather, to complete a luxurious and
comfortable headphone set.<br />
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Design attributes of the Sennheiser HD 558 Over the Ear Headphones</b> </h2>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Dynamic Transducer type</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
Just like all other models in the 5XX series, Sennheiser adopted dynamic
transducers with Duofol diaphragms for the HD 558 headphones. A dynamic transducer [call it a speaker], is able to produce sound because the changing audio current flowing through its voice coil creates a varying magnetic field in polarity, which interacts with the fixed magnetic field of the permanent magnet where the voice coil is suspended to generate a vibrating effect at the rate of the changing magnetic field. This vibration impacts the air around the cone, hence creating sound - music for that matter.<br />
The permanent magnets adopted
in the HD 558 are similarly made from high performance field-strengthened
neodymium ferrous material to provide excellent dynamic response.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Frequency response</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
You should expect an almost linear response from the HD 558 headphones from as low as 15Hz to 28,000Hz. This range impressively blanks out our average ordinary audio range of 20Hz to 20,000Hz. Thus, the HD 558 has been designed for audiophile quality.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Input Impedance</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
The input impedance is still the same from the Sennheiser <a href="http://buyerstechguide.blogspot.com/2014/12/sennheiser-hd-518-over-ear-heaphones.html" target="_blank">HD 518</a>. The Hd 558 is rated 50 Ohms input impedance. This value is deliberately kept low by Sennheiser to ensure a quality output when used with modern home theater systems
and professional audio equipment, designed with low impedance
output headphone jacks.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Sensitivity</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
The HD 558 ' sensitivity is of the same magnitude as the <a href="http://buyerstechguide.blogspot.com/2014/12/sennheiser-hd-598-over-ear-headphones.html" target="_blank">HD 598</a>. It is rated at 112 dB SPL at 1kHz for an amplifier input voltage of 1Vrms.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
Total Harmonic Distortion (<a href="http://specdetails.blogspot.com/2014/10/total-harmonic-distortion-thd.html" target="_blank">THD</a>) is a widely and intentionally misrepresented concept by most audio equipment manufacturers. The value of the <a href="http://specdetails.blogspot.com/2014/10/total-harmonic-distortion-thd.html" target="_blank">THD</a>
ratio ideally should represent how much of the unwanted frequencies
(harmonics) a given audio system has at its output for an entire audio
signal range of say 20Hz - 20kHz. Traditionally, this is quoted by
manufacturers as measured for a single frequency. For the Sennheiser HD
558, this value of <a href="http://specdetails.blogspot.com/2014/10/total-harmonic-distortion-thd.html" target="_blank">THD</a> is <0.2% at 1kHz, and 100 dB <a href="https://ccrma.stanford.edu/CCRMA/Courses/152/SPL.html" target="_blank">SPL</a>.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Dimensions and weight of the HD 558</b> </h3>
</li>
</ul>
The HD 558 is shipped in a product packaging that measures (L x B x H): 205 x 100 x 240 mm and weighs a net weight of 270 g. <br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>What's In The Box?</b> </h3>
</li>
</ul>
A 3 meter, single sided and changeable OFC, 4-strand copper
cable, a gold-plated 6.3 mm stereo jack with a 3.5 mm gold-plated
adaptor and Sennheiser HD 598 headphones.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Buying guide</b></h2>
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>The HD558 are an improvement from the <a href="http://buyerstechguide.blogspot.com/2014/12/sennheiser-hd-518-over-ear-heaphones.html" target="_blank">HD 518</a>. They sound better although some people may not at times tell the difference in performance. The headphones generally sound good for an open back design. </li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>The Sennheiser HD 558 wearing comfort is excellent even after extended use. </li>
</ul>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Open back earcup designs normally have problems with poor Bass. But with the HD 558, the Bass is clear and just sufficient. </li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Like all open back earcup designs, the HD 558 are always a distress
to the people around you because they allow music sound to escape from
the headphones, which is perceived as noise by others. So you cannot use
them while on your travels; on the Airplane for instance or in a public
place. </li>

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkt5wZmnLQz6OlC3ivBAlvfivPNiQFNjW3tpuwaW4qFSSB9I-7WhV4P48OKeTRSewzifsQXkhEhEy_EcqSPTeVJj7iL-WZJG2saCa8nJY1HHxf2-QvzQdkKHYG2iScKIyezzCEdhKi07Qc/s1600/Hero4-silver-gopro.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Gopro Hero4 Silver Camera - CHDSY-401 " border="0" height="118" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkt5wZmnLQz6OlC3ivBAlvfivPNiQFNjW3tpuwaW4qFSSB9I-7WhV4P48OKeTRSewzifsQXkhEhEy_EcqSPTeVJj7iL-WZJG2saCa8nJY1HHxf2-QvzQdkKHYG2iScKIyezzCEdhKi07Qc/s200/Hero4-silver-gopro.jpg" title="Hero4 Silver Camera" width="200" /></a>Gopro released the Hero4 Silver Point of View (POV) camera in the third quarter of 2014, and is a much improved camera from all its predecessors. It is available in three variants; the Hero4 Silver Surf, Hero4 Silver, Standard and Hero4 Silver Music. To be be realistic there aren't three versions of the same camera, rather there are distinct accessories that adapt it to the different applications. For instance, the Hero4 Silver is delivered in a standard watertight housing that adapts it to surfing or wet conditions. The housing protects the camera from water up to an immersion depth of 40 meters. Thus, depending on your projected use, you could choose accessories for one kind and not the other. The Hero4 Silver is shipped with a standard clear polycarbonate housing with a shockproof lens designed for extreme action.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<b>What makes the Gopro Hero4 Silver particularly Tick?</b></h2>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h2>
<b>Ultra lightweight design</b></h2>
</li>
</ul>
At first sight, the Hero4 Silver does not look much and indeed it doesn't! It is slightly larger than an ordinary sized matchbox and weighs approximately 83g! You virtually cannot expect anything more than just a toy from a camera this size! You can literally pocket it without noticing you ever carried it at all until you reach out to your pockets. Although the Hero4 Silver maybe be outdone by its size, its not all lost because this feature makes it very versatile in application. You can mount on music instruments to capture onstage footage for your session or if you are surfing kind, mount it on your surf board and capture those exhilarating moments while surfing the waves. Its fun isn't it?<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>High Quality Audio Capture</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
We all like clean sound for our video shots. Gopro's sound pick up microphone and sound engine is able to capture natural, smooth high fidelity sound during video shoots. Hero4's embedded microphone gives you exception performance with nearly twice as much the dynamic range of Hero3+ Black Editions. The dynamic range of a microphone is the measure of the difference between the loudest and the quietest Sound Pressure Level a microphone responds to linearly. The bigger this difference, the better the performance of the microphone and pickup up range. To complement the already excellent microphone, the Hero4 Silver is compatible with a myriad of third part mics, which you can connect using a 3.5mm Mic Adapter. This is particularly not optional if you want to achieve professional or near professional audio quality.<br />
<br />
The sound quality also depends a lot on the backdoor you use. Hero4 Silver is delivered with three types of backdoor covers; a <i>Standard Backdoor</i> that makes its housing watertight up to an immersive water depth of 40 meters and protects the camera from water, dust, dirt, and sand. Unfortunately, using this back cover produces the worst sound quality as it locks out most of the sound from camera microphone. <i>The Touch Backdoor </i>offers a somewhat improved audio experience than the standard backdoor because it allows more sound to reach the microphone. The <i>Touch Backdoor</i> also allows you to use the Touch Display screen and remains waterproof up to only 3 meters of water. The touch functions however, do not work under water. The best audio quality is achieved when a non-waterproof <i>Skeleton Backdoor </i>is mounted on its housing allowing a more natural and better sound pickup by the built-in microphone. Unfortunately, this type of back cover offers little or no protection to your camera. Always use this backdoor only when there is minimal risk of damage due to dirt, dust and water.<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Built-in WiFi and Bluetooth for Easy sharing and App Control</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
Nowadays a gadget that does not provide the convenience of wireless connectivity does not rank well with most us - 'gadget lovers'. And the Hero4 Silver does even a better job; it is equipped with both Bluetooth and WiFi for data transfer and control. Through WiFi, you are at liberty to connect to a Smart Remote[sold separately], which allows you to access all Hero4 Silver camera functions over WiFi up to a range of approximately 180 meters. The Smart Remote is a wearable accessory and remains watertight up to a depth of 10 meters below the water surface. It is a must have add-on accessory for skiing and surfers alike, for quickly starting or stopping the recording or even tagging captured footage for convenient playback without the need of reaching for your surfboard for camera controls.<br />
Additionally, through WiFi, you can control the Hero4 Silver, preview shots or footage, playback footage, share content via text or email, Facebook, Instagram, etc. All this is achievable through the Gopro App freely available on Apple store and Google Play. The Gopro App intuitively turns your smartphone into a wireless Remote with all camera functions, settings and navigation.<br />
Bluetooth like WiFi, achieves the same purpose as WiFi but with a limited range of only 10 meters line of sight. WiFi is also preferred because it achieves better data latency, high bit rates and is more secure than Bluetooth. For instance, because of high data rates achievable with WiFi, it would take you a shorter time sharing or uploading the same video to your PC than over a Bluetooth connection.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>High Quality Video Capture</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
As tiny as the Hero4 Silver is, it is able to capture stunningly high quality images; be it stills or video footage - like any professional would hope for. Among many, 4K, 2.7K, 1440p, 1080p, 960p and 720p resolutions are available for ultra wide Field of View (FOV) for NTSC or PAL TV system. The Hero4 Silver is ready to quench the need for your application, whether it is cinema quality capture you require or TV film production, the Hero4 is ready for the task.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Built-in Touch LCD Display</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
Unlike its Gopro predecessors, the Hero4 Silver conveniently features an LCD touch Display screen to access camera settings, navigation menus and to preview or playback your video footage and photos.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Mounts made for your Hero4 Silver Music</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
Like in my introduction to this article, I mentioned that the Hero4 Silver is sold in three variants; Hreo4 Silver Standard, Hero4 Silver Music and Hero4 Silver Surf. So for Hero4 Silver music, you will have mounts which enable you to attach the camera to music instruments included. You can thus mount the camera onto mic stands, guitars, turntables and other stage equipment to capture unique and stunning for your audience. The mounts range from frames to adhesive mounts for moveable instruments like Guitars, Keyboards and others. Please note that some of these accessories are sold separately.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Mounts for your Hero4 Silver Surf</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
The Hero4 Silver Surf is shipped with mounts for your surfboard to allow you capture stunning and immersive Point of View footage during your wave surfing sessions. Capture every moment of you fun time summer at the beaches with the Hero4 Surf that is water resistant up to 40 meters.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Protune your Photos and Video</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
The Camera has a software feature called Protune, which if turned on, adjusts captured video for professional productions. Protune delivers cinema like less compressed video which gives you flexibility in color correction during post production.<br />

<br />
VR - Video Resolution, FOV - Field of View, SR - Screen Resolution, AR - Apsect Ratio.<br />
<br />
The Field of View (FOV) determines how much detail is captured in a single shot. Ultra Wide (UW) achieves the greatest image detail with increased image stability, and is suitable for closeups and action shots where you want to capture as much detail as possible within a single frame. Similarly, medium FOV provides for mid-range picture detail and moderate image stability. If you prefer to capture content at a distance always use the smallest field of view since it gives you better image distortion performance. <br />
<br />
You will notice from the table that the 720p mode gives you the highest frame rate video capture at 120 fps. Since frame rate is the number of still images captured in one second of video, it implies that the higher the number of stills captured every second of video, the smoother the representation of the corresponding video scene. So in this case 720p gives the best performance for sporting or high motion picture for a Hero4 Silver.
However, based on scene lighting conditions, the Hero4 Silver can also adjust the frame rates automatically for optimum performance. This feature is called <i>Auto Low Light</i>.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Photo Mode</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
In photo mode, the Hero4 Silver captures photos by default at 12MP Ultra Wide picture (Megapixels), which corresponds to a screen resolution of 4000 x 3000. Other Mid-range FOV settings at 7MP and 5MP are possible for resolutions of 3000 x 2250 and 2560 x 1920 respectively.<br />
Photo mode has three capture settings; <i>Single</i>, <i>Continuous</i> and <i>Night</i>. In <i>Single</i> mode only a single photo is captured at a time. Contrastingly, in <i>Continuous</i> <i>mode</i>, a series of photos are captured while holding down the camera shutter button until it is released. Under <i>continuous</i> <i>mode</i> you can choose capturing continuously; 5 photos in 1 second or 10 photos in 1 second or even 3 photos in 1 second - this being the default.<br />
The <i>night mode</i> presents a customizable exposure time of up to 30 seconds for a single shot. The extended exposure time allows for an appreciable amount of light to reach the CMOS image sensor to achieve better image quality for the low light night conditions.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Multi-Shot Mode</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
In multi-shot mode, you are able to take multiple shots of up to 30 photos per second with the Hero4 Silver. Multi-shot mode similarly presents three capture modes; <i>Burst</i>, <i>Time Lapse</i> and <i>Night Lapse</i>.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h4 style="text-align: left;">
Burst mode </h4>
</li>
</ul>
In <i>Burst mode</i>, you can invariably select burst rates as follows; 30 photos/1 second (Default), 30 photos/ 2 seconds, 30 photos/ 3 seconds, 10 photos/1 second, 10 photos/2 seconds, 10 photos/3 seconds, 5 photos/1 second and 3 photos/1 second.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h4>
Time Lapse</h4>
</li>
</ul>
With <i>Time Lapse mode</i>, you automatically capture a series of photos at timed intervals which are factory set to 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 30 and 60 seconds. This capture mode is suitable for good lighting scene conditions such as daylight conditions.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h4>
Night Lapse</h4>
</li>
</ul>
This is the typical capture mode for night lighting condition. With your Hero4 Silver in this mode you can take a series of photo shots at specific intervals and exposure times, which are somewhat longer than the time lapse intervals. <i>Night Lapse</i> Intervals are factory set as follows; 15, 20, 30 and 60 seconds, 2, 5, 30 and 60 minutes.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Input and Output Ports</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
On the side of the Hero4 Silver there are two ports; the Mini USB and the micro HDMI port. The mini USB port supports charging, PC file transfer and playback. You can as well connect a 3.5 mm stereo microphone to this port using an adapter connector or connect a compatible composite cable for TV playback.<br />
The micro HDMI on the other hand, supports HDTV playback. Please note that some of these accessories may not be available Hero4 Silver box since they are optional.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Memory Storage</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
The Hero4 Silver camera comes without a memory card. But is compatible with 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB<br />
and 64GB microSD, microSDHC and microSDXC memory cards that you can purchase from anywhere. Gopro advises use of microSD cards with a Class 10 or a UHS-1 rating particularly for increased reliability.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Audio Features</b> </h3>
</li>
</ul>
Hero4 Silver supports AAC audio codec at a sampling rate of 48kHz. It features an advanced AGC (automatic gain control) with a multi-band compressor. The AGC is some form of feedback circuit that monitors the output level and ensures that it does not vary significantly from the desired level. On the other hand, a multiband compressor divides the frequency spectrum into distinct bands, so that each has its own unique compression
settings. This allows for a longer attack time for the low band frequencies (bass) to punch through, while keeping a shorter attack time in a higher band to keep the high frequencies in check. By using a multiband compressor, it is possible to closely tailor the compression to the different elements in a mix and compress the recording more transparently than with a standard single-band compressor. The goal of the AGC and multiband compressor is to produce a quality audio experience for the entire audio range of frequencies.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h4 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Internal Microphone</b></h4>
</li>
</ul>
The Hero4 features a built-in mono microphone with approximately two times greater dynamic range than its HERO3+ Black Edition counterpart. It also supports an External stereo microphone that you can connect to the 3.5mm microphone adapter. If high quality audio is a must, then so too is an external microphone.<br />
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Protune Advanced Video and Photo Capture</b></h2>
Protune software offers the flexibility required during post production editing because it delivers almost raw video and photo shots with little or no compression optimized for professional film productions. And through your creativity, you can adjust settings for Color, ISO Limit, White Balance, Sharpness and Exposure, to create a great production.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>White Balance</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
With white balance you are able to adjust the color tone of videos and photos to your desired taste.The camera is by default set to automatically adjust color tones based on the scene. However, other modes are also available like 3000k [Warm light], 5500K [Slightly cool light], 6500K [Cool light] and the Native mode [ Industry standardized optimized color].<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Color</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
Two color profiles are available; Gopro Color (default great color with protune turned off) and Flat Color profile (Neutral color profile that can easily be corrected to match footage captured with other equipment).<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>ISO Limit</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
The ISO range of a camera is synonymous with its sensitivity. This Protune feature adjusts the camera's sensitivity in low-light environments, and creates a balance between brightness and resulting image noise. Image noise refers to the degree of graininess in the image. By Default, the Hero4 Silver video camera is set to 6400 which implies a brighter video in low lighting scene conditions at the expense of increased noise. Other options of ISO limit 1600 ( for moderately bright video with moderate noise) and ISO limit of 400 (For darker video with low image noise) are available for selection too.<br />
The ISO limit settings for photo shoots are somewhat different. ISO limit 800 being the default value [for darker photos in very low light and increased image noise], 400 [for darker photos in low light and moderate image noise], 200 [for bright photo in indoor lighting with marginal image noise] and 100 [for bright photo in outdoor lighting with marginal image noise].<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Sharpness</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
The sharpness of Camera is the measure of how much detail a given camera reproduces in a video or photo shoot. Protune's default setting for Hero4 Silver is High [for Ultra Sharp image] with Medium and Low settings for moderately sharp and soft images respectively.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Shutter</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
This Protune setting applies only to Night Photo and Night Lapse. The shutter regulates the amount of light reaching the CMOS image sensor which directly correlates with the amount of time the shutter is open. This setting can be set to Auto or Fixed. Auto applies only to Night Photo and the Shutter remains open for up to 2 seconds. The Fixed setting allows for longer exposure time in the range of 10, 15, 20 and 30 seconds.<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Exposure Value Compensation</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
Exposure Value Compensation (EVC) affects the brightness of your video footage. It can particularly be helpful in optimizing image quality while shooting in contrasting scene lighting conditions. This Value ranges from -2 to +2.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Spot Meter</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
The Spot Meter setting optimizes footage covered from a dark environment while pointing the camera towards a brighter scene like filming the outdoors from inside a car.<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>QuickCapture</b> </h3>
</li>
</ul>
The QuickCapture button is a very convenient setting as it lets you, at the press of a single button, turn on the camera and automatically start capturing Time Lapse photos or shooting video.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Battery Power Requirement</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
The Hero4 Silver uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery rated at 1160 mAh, 3.8V, and 4.4 Wh.<b> </b>The operational life of your supplied battery very much depends on your usage activity. In many instances, a single battery charge may not last you through several hours of continuous shooting. So it is advisable to have a backup battery to ensure it lasts you through your activity coverage.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Submersible depth</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
When the Hero4 Silver Camera is mounted in its Standard Housing, it remains water tight up a submersible water depth of 40 meters. Beyond this depth, the housing may unpredictably begin to leak in water.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Weight and Dimensions</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
Like earlier on mentioned the Hero4 Silver is a very tiny gadget weighing only 83g (2.9oz) and approximately 147g together with its housing. It measures (L x W x H): 3" x 1.5" x 2.5" inches in its housing.

speakers together and play different media for each group - a feature hitherto relegated to high end AV Receivers! This gives you the comfort of listening to whatever you want anywhere in the house while controlling and managing your playlist on your smartphone via the Samsung multiroom app.<br />
<br />
The Multiroom Audio Hub -WAM250, expands the coverage of the SHAPE Wireless system in a similar fashion to the way you would lay Audio cables to audio speakers in say other rooms or floors; except in this case all connections are wireless. <br />

<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<b>So what is this Audio Wireless Multiroom Hub - WAM250</b></h2>

The beauty of the SHAPE Wireless audio system is that you can begin with a single Multiroom speaker say an M7 and later add conveniently more Multiroom speakers and an audio hub - WAM250 to your setup as need arises. The WAM250 enables you to bundle together two or more M7 speakers and additionally extend the reach of one M7 signal to other M7s in the house.<br />
<br />
Multiroom speakers like the M7s can be deployed as standalone because they are built with Dual Bands - 2.4Ghz and 5.15~5.25Ghz bands. The 2.4Ghz band being for Bluetooth Streaming and the latter for WiFi. However, if you decide to add on an M7 to your setup, then you need the networking services of the Samsung WAM250. The WAM250 itself is a lightweight device weighing only 0.4kgs. <br />

Sony's Hifi Bluetooth System - CMTSBT100 is a HiFi system for those that wish to keep it simple yet cool. With this Sony Hifi CMTSBT100, you are at liberty to listen to radio broadcasts over DAB Radio, FM, your favorite CDs and MP3 tunes with added convenience of Bluetooth Streaming and one touch play with compatible smartphones. The CMTSBT100 is beauty with a very pleasant cosmetic finish.

<b>What to like about Sony's Sony Hifi Bluetooth System - CMTSBT100</b></h2>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>'Good looks' or Pleasant design</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
The CMTSBT100 features a clean, elegant design which adds a sense of style to your room. The shade of grey and black finish added the main
HiFi unit casing makes it stand out. And the natural wood grain visible on the stereo speaker units are just as eye catching for any one that loves wood pieces.<br />
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<b></b></h2>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Wireless Streaming and One Touch Play</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
Availability of Bluetooth Streaming on the CMTSBT100 is a big plus for this HiFi system. This makes it a lot easier to conveniently enjoy tunes from your smartphone, laptop, MP3 player, and other devices using Bluetooth. Better still, the native NFC feature on the CMTSBT100 allows you to effortlessly stream directly from your smartphone with a single touch of your smartphone on the NFC area on the main HiFi unit. The CMTSBT100 supports Bluetooth version 3.0 and an output power class 2 with a maximum line of sight distance approximately 10 m. It operates in the 2.4GHz frequency band and uses Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum modulation technique for data transmission.

<b>Clean Bass with Bass Boost function</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
The CMTSBT100 delivers clean bass that suits all your music tastes. And if you crave for a heavier punch, there is a Bass Boost function you can engage and get the party rolling. However, don't expect the resonant or floor moving, full-bodied bass! £189 doesn't buy you that kind of system! <br />

Like all SoundSticks multimedia speakers, SoundSticks III presents a bold and award winning multimedia speaker design showcasing transparent speaker casings in a stunning industrial design. SoundSticks III <br />
features two satellite speakers and a downward firing subwoofer. Each satellite speaker is built from four 1-inch full range transducers and is housed in a transparent casing with an angle adjustable stand. While a 6-inch low frequency Subwoofer is built into a transparent casing with a flared sound port in a downward firing mode. The Harman Kardon SoundSticks III is an ideal choice for a multimedia desktop speaker system because it is built compatible with most stereo line outputs such as those found on computer sound cards, MP3 Players and DVD/CD players. The connection to these stereo sources is effected through a 3.5mm mini output stereo jack.<br />
<br />

If you have an eye for Art, then Soundsticks III will definitely win you over, else it might appear an ugly piece of work! SoundSticks III has a pleasant industrial design aesthetic,
elegant black accents, a luminescent white LED glow and transparent

<b>A 6-inch, 20 Watt Active downward firing Subwoofer</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
SoundSticks III reproduces low bass notes from a 6-inch downward firing low frequency transducer (bass driver) that is powered by a 20W RMS Amplifier. SoundSticks III
subwoofer comes with a volume control knob and a push power ON/OFF button. The subwoofer has been so designed to pump air downwards to make the SoundStick III less susceptible to adverse room variables and produce a consistent performance. Additionally, the flared port reduces port noise during high volume
air passages to give you a pleasant listening experience.
<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Two 10 Watt Satellite Speakers</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
The satellite speakers are each made up of four 1-inch full range transducers, which give you a quality sound output for much of the audible spectrum, i.e 20Hz - 20kHz. The sound output remains crisp and clear from low to mid range volumes with minimal distortions at high volumes. However, for a speaker system priced at $165.99, I can say that the Harman Kardon SoundSticks III is a desktop system with almost audiophile quality that will bring your movies, music and games to life!<br />
<div>
<br />
The Satellite speakers each feature touch sensitive volume and mute controls towards the base - all in an intuitive design. To adjust volume, you simply touch the (+) or (-). Touching the (+) and (-) simultaneously mutes the speaker.<br />

uniform light color.<br />
These High Power LED lamps have been specially designed to give you a <a href="http://cleantechnica.com/2014/11/05/led-lighting-efficiency-jumps-roughly-50-since-2012/" target="_blank">warm white light effect</a> and are capable of reaching a
color temperature of 2700 Kelvin. What's more the whole Ledino Matrix Ceiling light unit is yet controllable by a low voltage electronic dimmer switch of your choosing! This allows you to showcase your taste and lifestyle while creating ambiance with light and energy efficiency.<br />
<br />
Additionally, the LEDs are virtually maintenance free; with 13,000 on/off switching cycles, and an incredibly long operational life of approximately 20,000 hours, lasting you anywhere between 10 - 20 years if we assume an average daily use of 3 - 6 hours.<br />

All of us, men and women alike, enjoy those moments when we receive a nicely wrapped up gift box sent to our workplaces or homes! Very often, when I choose to give someone a gift, I get stuck on which gift to select! If you have tried choosing a gift for someone, you will know it's no easy feat selecting a gift for someone, even if it is for someone you know very well - like a partner, colleague or friend. This is because we always want to match their taste and at the same time maintain a level of uniqueness. However, through experience, I have noticed some items when given as gifts will be appreciated by virtually everyone; for instance, men really love wrist watches; atleast I do! So don't be afraid, buy him that watch, he certainly will like it!</div>

<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Features of the Sennheiser HD 518 Headphones</b></h2>
<ul class="product_features" style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Open circum-aural headphones with E.A.R. technology </b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
The Sennheiser HD 518 are full size headphones whose generously padded earcups
fully wrap around your ears. They are designed to provide maximum wearing comfort during long listening sessions while ensuring impeccable sonic accuracy and clarity through Sennheiser's intuitive "Ergonomic
Acoustic Refinement" (E.A.R.) design. The E.A.R design ensures all
audio signals are directly into your ears while ensuring maximum
comfort.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>DuoFol Diaphragms adopted for the HD 518</b> </h3>
</li>
</ul>
DuoFol diaphragms are a thin membrane attached to a
voice coil. They are designed to provide a wide sound stage with ultra-fast
response and rest times for improved sound transparency and reduced
distortion. The diaphragm geometry is tailored to keep
intermodulation distortion minimal. Intermodulation occurs when an audio signal known frequencies passes through an imperfect audio system giving rise to several
noise frequencies in the output signal, which are either
multiples, sums and differences of frequencies contained in the original audio
signal but weaker than the desired output audio signal frequencies. This
distortion however, becomes significant when the volume is turned up!<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Neodymium Ferrous Magnet and Aluminum Voice Coils</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
The permanent magnets adopted for the Sennheiser HD 518 are specially optimized and field-strengthened neodymium ferrous magnets. This
coupled with lightweight aluminum voice coils provide a superior dynamic
response and efficiency.<br />
<div>
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Soft Ear pads and Cushioned Headband </b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
The Ear pads of the HD 518 are generously padded with very soft material, while the headband is also cushioned with an equally soft material to provide luxurious wearing comfort during your extended listening sessions.</div>
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Versatile connectivity options</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The HD 518 can be invariably used with HiFi system, TV set, Headphone amplifier, Home Audio, etc, without any noticeable drop in quality of sound output. This is because of its low output impedance that closely matches with these audio systems.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Eye catching grille-like ear cup casing design </b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
The Sennheiser HD 518 feature an distinctive eye catching grille like design that makes them fairly attractive at first glance.<br />
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Design attributes of the Sennheiser HD 518 Over the Ear Headphones</b> </h2>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Dynamic Transducer type</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
The Sennheiser HD 518 headphones use the dynamic
transducer principle. This means that
once a varying current is applied to the voice coil suspended within the
magnetic field of the neodymium ferrous magnet, it creates a magnetic field which changes
polarity and direction at the rate of the input current. When this
dynamically changing magnetic field interacts with the field of the neodymium ferrous magnet,
it creates a repulsive force when the polarities of the two fields
match and an attractive force when the polarities are different. This
causes the voice coil to vibrate several times a second [depending on changing
current] carrying the duofol diaphragm with it, and consequently
the air around it - creating music sound. <br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Frequency response</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
The Sennheiser HD 518 headphones are designed to respond to an incredibly wide
audio frequency spectrum, going from as low as 14Hz and to as high as 26kHz. If you are an audiophile, the HD 518 has got you covered for you will never regret because it pumps out some quality sound yet costing only $129.95!<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Input Impedance</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
The Sennheiser HD 518 is a low impedance headphone. Its input impedance is only 50 Ohms. This gives you the flexibility to use them with your TV set or home Audio which have low impedance output headphone jacks.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Sensitivity</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
Sensitivity of a headphone determines how loud a headphone is
for a given level of an acoustic signal input. It is measured in decibels of
Sound pressure level (<a href="http://buyerstechguide.blogspot.com/2014/09/mdr-xb950btb-extra-bass-boost-bluetooth.html" target="_blank">SPL</a>). Sound Pressure Level (<a href="http://buyerstechguide.blogspot.com/2014/09/mdr-xb950btb-extra-bass-boost-bluetooth.html" target="_blank">SPL</a>)
is the change in local air pressure that results due to a disturbance
caused by a sound wave. For the Sennheiser HD 518, the SPL value has
measured to be 108 dB at 1kHz for an amplifier input voltage of 1Vrms. The normal headphone range of SPL is between 85dB to 120dB; with 85dB corresponding to the lowest and 120dB the highest volume.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
Total Harmonic Distortion (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_harmonic_distortion" target="_blank">THD</a>) is a widely and intentionally misrepresented concept by most audio equipment manufacturers. The value of the <a href="http://specdetails.blogspot.com/2014/10/total-harmonic-distortion-thd.html" target="_blank">THD</a>
ratio ideally should represent how much of the unwanted frequencies
(harmonics) a given audio system has at its output for an entire audio
signal range of 20Hz - 20kHz. This value is expected to be larger for an entire signal range! Traditionally, this is quoted by
manufacturers as measured for a single frequency. For the Sennheiser HD
518, this value of <a href="http://stereos.about.com/od/faqs/f/thd.htm" target="_blank">THD</a> is <0.2% at 1kHz, and 100 dB SPL.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Dimensions and weight of the HD 518</b> </h3>
</li>
</ul>
The HD 518 is shipped in a product packaging that measures (L x B x H): 205 x 100 x 240 mm and weighs a net weight of 286 g. <br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>In The Box?</b> </h3>
</li>
</ul>
A 3 meter, single sided and changeable OFC, 4-strand copper
cable, a gold-plated 6.3 mm stereo jack with a 3.5 mm gold-plated
adaptor and Sennheiser HD 518 headphones.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Buying guide</b></h2>
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>The headphones sound really good for an open back earcup design and for such a price. Plus, you enjoy the flexibility of hooting them up to any audio system to enjoy quality sound without requiring a headphone amplifier. </li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>The soft ear pads and cushioned headband of Sennheiser HD 518 provide wearing comfort for use over long periods. </li>
</ul>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Open back earcup designs normally have problems with poor Bass. But with the HD 518, the Bass is clean and fairly deep. </li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Like all open back earcup designs, the HD 518 leak out quite a lot of sound. Be sure to use them in the comfort of your home. You cannot use
them while on your travels; on the Airplane for instance or in a public
place. </li>

The Sennheiser HD 598 are high-end over the ear (circum-aural) headphones from Sennheiser priced at $249.95. They feature velour ear pads and a leatheratte headband headset to ensure listening comfort during long sessions. The velour ear pads are designed in such a way as to completely
cover your ears and channel all audio signals directly into your ear canal, while the open back earcup design allows some sound to leak out
of the headphone and also lets in more ambient sounds into the headphone. This results in a more natural or speaker-like sound and a realistic spatial sound field.

<b>Design attributes of the Sennheiser HD 598 Over the Ear Headphones</b> </h2>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Dynamic Transducer type</b></h3>
</li>

The Sennheiser HD 598 headphones respond to an incredibly wider audio frequency spectrum, going from as low as 12Hz and as high as 38,500Hz. This means the HD 598 has been designed with an audiophile in mind and it certainly lives up to this expectation and moreover for a fraction of the cost of high end audiophile headphones!<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Input Impedance</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
The Sennheiser HD 598 is generally a low impedance headphone with input impedance in the order of 50 Ohms. This means, the HD 598 will still give you quality output on most modern home cinema systems and professional audio equipment, which are designed with low impedance output headphone jacks.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Attractive features on the HT-CT770 Soundbar</b></h2>
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>High Definition Sound Bar with wireless subwoofer</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
The HT-CT770 Soundbar is a High Definition Soundbar with
three HDMI media input connection ports that support HD, 3D and 4K pass through and are enabled for HDMI-CEC.
Additionally, it has an HDMI TV OUT port that is enabled for HDMI-ARC and supports HD, 4K and 3D media output to your big screen. This
makes the HT-CT770 a suitable soundbar for your quality media sources
like HD SATV, Blu-ray and DVD.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>210W of 2.1 channel surround sound</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
The S-Master digital amplifier adopted for the HT-CT770 Bar speaker unit, delivers a maximum
of 210W RMS of music power for a 2.1 channel surround sound
environment. With each bar speaker delivering a maximum of 105W RMS music power, while the active wireless Subwoofer delivering a maximum of 120W RMS of powerful deep bass to your ears.<br />
The S-Master digital amplifier is built on the principle of a simplified full digital signal path,
which significantly reduces the distortion due to heat built up which would result if conventional multiple
analogue amplifier stages were used. This results in more power and a clean digital audio signal.<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Bluetooth and NFC music streaming</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
The CT770 introduces the much needed convenience through Bluetooth and NFC for Bluetooth pairing. Music streaming from your Android and iOS Bluetooth enabled
smartphone to the CT770 is only a touch away! If your iPhone or iPod has Bluetooth capability and is enabled
for NFC, simply let your device touch the "N"
mark on the Bar speaker to begin streaming and manage your playlists from your smartphone using the Songpal app
freely
available for iOS and Android devices. <br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Advanced Auto Volume</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
The CT770 helps you equalize volume automatically for different programs as you navigate your channels through a feature called Advanced Auto Volume (AAV). This feature ensures that volume discrepancies between different TV programs and commercials are minimized. With AAV ON, you always have a pleasant TV listening experience.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Multiple Media Connectivity options</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
The HT-CT770 provides a wide array of connectivity options which
include a single digital optical connection, three (3) HDMI connections
and an analog
audio connection. With these jacks you are at liberty to connect your
PlayStation 4, Blu-ray, iPod, DVD media players, etc. Additionally, the
HDMI TV OUT jack is enabled with ARC (Audio Return Channel). This means
that if you connect a High Speed HDMI cable from your compatible TV to
this jack, you are able to listen to digital sound from your TV through
the CT370. However, this is only possible if the “CTRL (Control for
HDMI)” is set to “ON.”<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>S-Force PRO Front Surround technology</b> </h3>
</li>
</ul>
<div class="p3">
Without the S-Force PRO Front Surround technology, the CT770, wouldn't be able to produce a surround effect from a two channel Amp (Front R + Front L). This intuitive feature creates a sense of natural and realistic
surround sound from only two channels without the necessity of bulky and multiple speakers as is the case with bigger
home cinema systems. The S-Force PRO Front
Surround uses advanced sound signal processing techniques that mimic the way your brain perceives sound by correlating sound sources to create

devices is made simple with the CT370. If your iPhone or iPod is enabled for NFC
for Bluetooth pairing, you simply have to let your device touch the "N" mark on the Bar speaker to begin streaming and then manage your playlists directly from your smartphone using Songpal app freely
available for iOS and Android. <br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">

proper volume, time lag, and sound wave spectrum – using only left and
right speaker channels. </div>

Just like the HT-M7, the HT-M77 is a very loud home theater system featuring an STR-KM77 AV receiver of 2450W RMS total music power and 9 speaker
units. Sony has added attractive enhancements to the 2012 HT-M7. Among them, is an enhanced bass punch, which it achieved through use 30cm subwoofer drivers instead of the 25cm drivers adopted for the HT-M7 home theater.<br />
Secondly, if you owned an HT-M7, you know how cumbersome it was to automate and connect media sources. Thanks to Sony, the 2014 HT-M77 is enabled for Bluetooth streaming and NFC for
Bluetooth pairing. This new feature allows you to effortlessly stream your favorite tunes directly from your compatible iPhone/iPod, tablet or
smartphone to the HT-M77 receiver. On the HT-M7, you had to stream through a Bluetooth enabled laptop connected to the AV receiver via an HDMI connection.<br />
What's more,
Sony has added more Soundfields on the HT-M77 to spice every bit of action. You can now enjoy your
favorite football games with the Football sound effect activated. <br />
<br />
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Attractive Features on the HT-M77 Home Theater</b></h2>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>2450W RMS Total Amp Output Power</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
The HT-M77 is louder than its predecessor, the HT-M7. Sony ramped up the total RMS music power output on the HT-M7 from 2012W to a
whooping 2450W. If you enjoy loud music, the HT-M77 is the one for you. It is a home theater system with a good bass response and with enough volume. To achieve these numbers, the Amp in the HT-M77 is driven too close to its limit as revealed shortly;<br />
In stereo mode, it is rated at 120 W + 120 W (measured for <b>6 ohms, at 1 kHz and <a href="http://specdetails.blogspot.com/2014/10/total-harmonic-distortion-thd.html" target="_blank">THD</a> 1%</b>) - which is the same with the <a href="http://buyerstechguide.blogspot.com/2014/08/sony-muteki-str-km7-specs.html" target="_blank">HT-M7</a>.
However, in surround mode, the Amp is driven into severe
distortions by as much as <b>30%</b> as indicated as follows; Measured for <b>6 ohms at 1 kHz and <a href="http://specdetails.blogspot.com/2014/10/total-harmonic-distortion-thd.html" target="_blank">THD</a> 30%</b>
to get 264W to FRONT speakers per channel, 266W to CENTER speaker, 264W
to SURROUND speakers per channel, 264W to SURROUND BACK speakers per
channel, and lastly measured for <b>4 ohms at 100 Hz and <a href="http://specdetails.blogspot.com/2014/10/total-harmonic-distortion-thd.html" target="_blank">THD</a> 30%</b>, to get 300W to the SUBWOOFERS per channel.<br />
<br />
The very high <a href="http://specdetails.blogspot.com/2014/10/total-harmonic-distortion-thd.html" target="_blank">THD</a> values imply that in normal operation you will never fully enjoy
Maximum volume on the HT-M77 for all media sources because at high volume the distortions become more pronounced and you experience a lot of discomfort at these volumes.
However, general usage is always at about half the rated
maximum volume. Even at this volume, the HT-M77 is still loud enough for a house party hosted in a large living or lounge room. Maximum volume is never really necessary!
<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Bluetooth and NFC for effortless streaming</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
To me, the Bluetooth feature is the best improvement made on the the HT-M7. Wireless music streaming has never been made any easier! You can stream directly from your compatible smartphone or
tablet with a simple touch on the NFC area of the HT-M77 AV receiver.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;"><b>
</b>
<li><h3>
<b>
Football and Digital Music Arena soundfields</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
On the HT-M7, there are three soundfields; Gaming, Movie and Music. Two new sound fields; Football and Digital Music Arena, have been introduced on the HT-M77. You can now enjoy football games with a live football stadium atmosphere if the Football soundfield is activated while watching your games. In addition, the Digital Music
Arena DSP brings Live Music Concerts to life by mimicking arena sound
effects.<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Two 30 cm Metallic Cone type</b> <b>Subwoofer</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
The two 30cm metallic cone drivers in the HT-M77 are designed to give a lower frequency response than was possible with the HT-M7 which is delivered with two 25cm metallic cone
type subwoofers. The HT-M77 features slightly bigger subwoofer drivers to give you a much heavier punch to rattle rattle your windows and
floor!<br />

<b>HT-M77 Buying Guide</b></h2>
</div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>The HT-M77 is currently priced at $1399.99, which is
comparatively lower than most high end home theater systems in its
category. I would bet that the HT-M77 is the best home theater you can
get given its power and at such a low price.<b> </b></li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><b> </b>Like its predecessor, the <a href="http://buyerstechguide.blogspot.com/2014/08/sony-muteki-str-km7-specs.html" target="_blank">HT-M7</a>,
the quality of the media inputs affect performance of the HT-M77. So to
enjoy it to the fullest always use high quality media sources, i.e HD
movies, High quality audio, etc.<b> </b></li>
<li>If you are to turn up the volume to maximum, set the speaker level
controls at about 0dB. At this level sound distortions are less
pronounced and the output is really good.<b> </b>Anything above 0dB makes the output sound uncomfortable to listen to. </li>

You can install it as a standalone or together with a physically compatible curved Ultra HDTV. To install it to your compatible TV, you affix firmly the supplied bracket mount to the TV base to which you fix the soundbar to complete the installation.<br />
The H7500 complements well your curved HDTV in terms of design and perfect sound. It helps eliminate the clutter of common home theater cabling and speakers. Although, it might not be a match for known powerful home theater sound systems, it 'put ups a good fight'!<br />
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Attractive features on the H7500 curved Soundbar</b></h2>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Dolby Digital and DTS formats</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
It supports <a href="http://specdetails.blogspot.com/2014/04/audio-codecs.html" target="_blank">Dolby Digital</a> and <a href="http://specdetails.blogspot.com/2014/04/dts-audio-codecs.html" target="_blank">DTS</a> Stereo audio formats. So you will still enjoy your quality DTS and Dolby digital titles.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Active Wireless Subwoofer</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
You don't need cables to interface between the Subwoofer and soundbar - the two are linked via Bluetooth. Subwoofer and LFE channels are streamed via Bluetooth. With the supplied remote, you can control the subwoofer volume and bass. <br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>TV SoundConnect</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
TV SoundConnect allows you to listen and control your curved Ultra HDTV sound output through the soundbar via a Bluetooth connection with the One Connect Box.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Surround Sound Expansion</b></h3>
<h3>

<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Full tech specs of the HW-H7500 curved soundbar and PS-WH7500 subwoofer</b></h2>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Amplifier specs</b> </h3>
</li>
</ul>
The H7500 curved soundbar Amp can output a maximum of 20W RMS into an 8 ohm driver or loudspeaker per channel, measured at 10% <a href="http://stereos.about.com/od/faqs/f/thd.htm" target="_blank">THD</a> and 1kHz. On the other hand, the Amp in the WH7500 subwoofer, can output a maximum of 160W RMS into a 3 ohm subwoofer driver, as measured at 10% <a href="http://specdetails.blogspot.com/2014/10/total-harmonic-distortion-thd.html" target="_blank">THD </a>and 100Hz. In totality, the curved soundbar and subwoofer output a maximum of 320W RMS of music power.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>USB media input port</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
The USB media port on the backside of the curved soundbar is a bit of a disappointment because it does not support Mass Storage device class 2.0. That means, your coveted Cameras, Android or iOS smartphones and tablets are not supported by this USB media port. Only flash drives formatted with FAT16 and FAT32 file system can be read. In addition, the USB port cannot read video files and supports a limited range of audio file types which include; MP3, WMA, AAC, WAV, OGG and FLAC. If I can put it more bluntly, it is a useless port! <br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>HDMI Connectors on the H7500</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
HDMI interfaces are used to transfer High-Resolution Audio and High Definition video between connected devices. There are two HDMI jacks on the H7500 curved soundbar; one for input and a second one for output to TV. To the HDMI input jack, you may connect a compatible Blu-ray, Disc player, SAT TV, Gaming console, etc. The HDMI output to TV is enabled for HDMI-ARC (HDMI-Audio Return Channel) which means your TV sound can be output to the soundbar over the same HDMI cable. Please note that this is only possible using a cable that supports HDMI-ARC. Samsung does not supply the H7500 with these cables, so you have to verify with your supplier before buying. Additionally, HDMI-CEC is not supported by any of these HDMI ports implying you will still need both remotes to your curved Ultra HD TV and curved soundbar. If you decide to listen to TV sound output through the curved soundbar, then you have to manually turn down TV volume.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Bluetooth linked Subwoofer and stereo audio streaming</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
The PS-WH7500 Subwoofer is linked to the curved soundbar through an ID that is preset at the factory. By default, when the subwoofer and the main unit are first switched on, they connect to each other automatically. What's more you can connect Bluetooth enabled devices and stream stereo audio through the soundbar. However, Playlist control features like Play, Pause and Next are not available through the soundbar except through a connected AVRCP capable device. The soundbar can only be paired with a single Bluetooth enabled device at a time.<br />
<br />
<div>
<div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Digital Optical input port</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
The digital optical input port at the backside of the curved soundbar is for digital audio input only; it does not support video input and neither does it support high resolution audio formats like DTS HD Master Audio, and Dolby TrueHD.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>AUX input port</b> <b> </b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
The AUX also known as an auxiliary port is an analog port for audio input only. The HW-H7500/ZA supports a 3.5mm head phone jack for analog audio input. The maximum S/N ratio for the AUX port is designed at 65dB. <br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Frequency Response</b> </h3>
</li>
</ul>
The HW-H7500 drivers have been designed to respond to frequencies between 100Hz - 10kHz. The low frequencies provide deep bass notes of the subwoofer while the mid range to high frequencies provide the vocals, stereo and treble sounds.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Power Requirement</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
The Curved soundbar uses an AC 120V 60Hz to 24V DC input power
adapter while the active subwoofer has its own AC 120V 60Hz power input.
While active, the curved soundbar and subwoofer consume 45W and 20W
respectively. In idle or standby mode, this value reduces to just 0.4W.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b> Approximate Dimensions and Weight</b> </h3>
</li>
</ul>
The H7500 curved soundbar weighs approx. 8.82lbs and the PS-WH7500 subwoofer approx. 18.63lbs. The soundbar measures (W x H x D) 48.43 x 1.65 x 6.69 inches, while the subwoofer measures 11.46 x 14.6 x 11.46 inches.<br />
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Buying Guide</b> </h2>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>The initial price of the H7500 is $799.99, which is in my opinion on the high side. In all fairness, the H7500 has two major selling features; its uniquely appealing design and
convenience of wireless connectivity. Obviously, you might argue that the H7500 sound output is superb! But I can list several other brands and models not priced at this much with even better output. The H7500 has other drawbacks as well. First, it can only pair with only one Bluetooth device at a time. secondly, it
has very few HDMI input ports with none enabled for HDMI-CEC, and a
'useless' USB media port [refer to<i> USB media input port</i> section]. What this
means is that your One Connect box hardly gets any relief from the H7500, which is why I believe it should be cheaper.
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>The H7500 is compatible with Samsung's 2014 HU7, HU8 and HU9 series curved ultra HD TVs. Check the <a href="http://www.samsung.com/" target="_blank">Samsung </a>website for a full list of compatible TVs. </li>

You can control the stereo widening effect created by this engine from the ESound control button on your remote. It has three modes; MODE1: the default for Stereo expansion OFF and Bass boost ON. MODE2: Stereo Expansion ON and Bass boost ON. MODE OFF: Stereo Expansion OFF and Bass boost OFF.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">

<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Attractive features of the 32L1400U 32 Inch 720p 60Hz LED TV </b></h2>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>DynaLight</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
Like all HDTVs from Toshiba, the 32L1400U features Dynalight backlight control technology, which adds intensity to "blacks" and selectively reduces the intensity of "whites" or brighter areas to give the picture a more balanced, life-like appearance.
<br />
<br />
Toshiba's DynaLight dynamic backlight control utilizes an advanced histogram
technology to monitor the brightness of each video frame and
automatically adjust backlight intensity based on the image being displayed.
This precise signal analysis allows for 256 levels of control capable of creating a dynamic contrast seven to ten times more than for an ordinary TV. This results in a superb picture with deep blacks for increased detail and depth.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Game Mode </b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
If you a gamer, the 32L1400U includes a Game Mode that enhances the gaming responses by allowing the video signal to bypass select internal
TV circuitry which shortens the signal-to-screen time. With this Game Mode you are certain to redeem your chart-topping scores.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Dynamic Picture Mode</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
When the Dynamic Picture Mode is on, the 32L1400U delivers optimal image contrast,
clarity, and color saturation for sharper details and brighter,
more realistic movie, TV shows and sports pictures. Dynamic Picture Mode creates the right amount of “pop,” and provides
more colors, finer details, less visual noise and brighter, realistic
pictures.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>ColorMaster</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
With the ColorMaster feature on the 32L1400U, you are able to adjust the hue, saturation, and brightness of the screen to your
liking. When ColorMaster is turned on, you see a list of the TV's
standard colors from which you can select one to adjust.<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Native Mode</b> </h3>
</li>
</ul>
Since not all media content you watch on the 32L1400U is 720p, Native Mode prevents overscanning an image that is of a lower resolution. This especially true for majority of TV broadcasts, movies and other content is produced in
standard definition 480i, 480p and 576i. By default, the 32L1400U upscales the lower resolution picture to 720p. The Native mode instead scales lower resolution video content to display the entire picture within
the borders of the screen. (i.e. no overscanning). No part of the picture is hidden.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Support for DTS TruSurround</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
For
an immersive experience with all your media, the 32L1400U features DTS
TruSurround audio technology, which delivers virtual surround sound and
clear dialogue. Post-processing and psychoacoustic techniques are used
to enhance the bass and dialogue and provide high-frequency definition
for clear sound.<br />
<br />

<li><h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>ENERGY STAR Certified for Reduced Power Use</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
The
32L1400U is ENERGY STAR certified and meets strict guidelines for power
consumption set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the
U.S. Department of Energy.<br />

From the 2012 <a href="http://buyerstechguide.blogspot.com/2014/08/sony-muteki-str-km7-specs.html" target="_blank">STR-KM7</a> to the 2014 STR-KM77! The STR-KM77 is just an AV receiver for the HT-M77 component music system which in addition includes 9 speaker units. Sony has added attractive enhancements to the STR-KM7. One of my frustrations with the <a href="http://buyerstechguide.blogspot.com/2014/08/sony-muteki-str-km7-specs.html" target="_blank">STR-KM7</a> was the absence of Bluetooth Streaming. Fortunately, it's like Sony heard my silent frustrations and introduced Bluetooth and NFC for Bluetooth pairing on the STR-KM77. This new feature now effortlessly allows you to stream directly from your compatible iPhone/iPod or smartphone to the STR-KM77. With the STR-KM7, I could only stream from my Android phone through a Bluetooth enabled Laptop <br />

Thanks to Sony, my laptop is no longer needed!<br />
Additionally, Sony has added more Soundfields on the STR-KM77. You can now enjoy your favorite football games with the Football sound mode active. <br />
<br />
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Attractive Features on the STR-KM77</b></h2>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>2450W RMS Total Amp Output Power</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
Sony has boosted the power output on the STR-KM7 from 2012W to a staggering 2450W. If you like a home theater system with a heavy punch, this is cause for excitement. But wait, not just yet! Here is what I found out.<br />
In stereo mode, it is rated at 120 W + 120 W (measured for <b>6 ohms, at 1 kHz and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_harmonic_distortion" target="_blank">THD </a>1%</b>) - which is the same with the <a href="http://buyerstechguide.blogspot.com/2014/08/sony-muteki-str-km7-specs.html" target="_blank">STR-KM7</a>. But when it comes to the surround mode, Sony has allowed the incredible to happen. The Amp channels are allowed to be driven into severe distortions by as much as <b>30%</b> as indicated as follows; Measured for <b>6 ohms at 1 kHz and <a href="http://stereos.about.com/od/faqs/f/thd.htm" target="_blank">THD</a> 30%</b> to get 264W to FRONT speakers per channel, 266W to CENTER speaker, 264W to SURROUND speakers per channel, 264W to SURROUND BACK speakers per channel, and lastly measured for <b>4 ohms at 100 Hz and THD 30%</b>, to get 300W to the SUBWOOFERS per channel.<br />
<br />
To clearly understand this, you need to first understand the concept of <a href="http://specdetails.blogspot.com/2014/10/total-harmonic-distortion-thd.html" target="_blank">THD</a> explained <a href="http://specdetails.blogspot.com/2014/10/total-harmonic-distortion-thd.html" target="_blank">here</a>. But what this means is that in principle you will never fully enjoy Maximum volume on the STR-KM77 for a number of media sources as you will experience a lot more discomfort at these volumes than on the STR-KM7. However, realistically, ordinary usage is always at about half the rated maximum volume. And even at this level, it is loud enough for a large room. Unless you are hosting a party, maximum volume is never necessary! <br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>Bluetooth and NFC for effortless streaming</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
To me, this is the best addition that was lacking on the STR-KM7. You can stream directly from your compatible smartphone or tablet with a simple touch on the NFC area of the STR-KM77 receiver.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;"><b>
</b>
<li><h3>
<b>
Football and Digital Music Arena soundfields</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
Football and Digital Music Arena sound modes are a great addition, which were never present on the STR-KM7. You can now enjoy an enhanced football stadium atmosphere with the Football Sound field set to active while watching your games. In addition, the Digital Music Arena DSP brings Live Music Concerts to life as it mimics arena sound effects.<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><h3>
<b>2 x 300 mm Metallic Cone type</b> <b>Subwoofer</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
Unlike the HT-M7 that is delivered with 2 x 250 mm metallic cone type subwoofers, the HT-M77 features slightly bigger subwoofer drivers of 300mm. This means, with the HT-M77 you enjoy a much heavier low frequency (bass) punch that will certainly rattle your windows and floor.<br />

<b>Buying guide</b></h2>
</div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>The HT-M77 currently goes for $1399.99 buying price, which is comparatively lower than other high end home theater systems in its category. I would bet that the HT-M77 is the best home theater you can get given its performance and at that price.<b> </b></li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><b> </b>Like its predecessor, the <a href="http://buyerstechguide.blogspot.com/2014/08/sony-muteki-str-km7-specs.html" target="_blank">HT-M7</a>, the quality of the media inputs affect performance of the HT-M77. So to enjoy it to the fullest always use high quality media sources, i.e HD movies, High quality audio, etc.<b> </b></li>
<li>If you are to turn up the volume to maximum, set the speaker level controls at about 0dB. At this level sound distortions are less pronounced and the output is really good.<b> </b>Anything above 0dB makes the output sound uncomfortable to listen to. </li>
