Looking to replace this but at this point, short term, I’d settler for an FM transmitter that doesn’t require a car.
This is a NuTone ST-1000WH. We just bought our house and this is in the wall of one room. It is hooked to 6 speakers in the ceiling. I pulled it out and there are 7 connections. 6 for speaker wire and 1 for power. It is not plugged in, it’s wired into power somewhere in the wall. Wanted to leave it in because it’s kind of cool, but the tape deck doesn’t work too well anymore and there is no aux port. I tried a bluetooth cassette but like I said, cassette player isn’t great. Doesn’t work well with normal cassettes either. I then tried looking for an FM transmitter but couldn’t find one that doesn’t require a car to plug in, or wasn’t “for church” and hundreds of dollars). Ultimately I’d like to put something newer in, but can’t really find those either because it’s just speakepower hookups already wired.
Anyone have any ideas here for me?

2024.05.19 21:15 DeltaFoxAlpha Unable to access LAN behind Windows peer from remote Android peer

Hey all, been trying the entire weekend to get Wireguard to work the way I want to no avail. I want my phone to be able to see my home LAN, the Android phone will see and connect to the Windows peer and can access its services; but can't reach the rest of the local LAN.
I've tried tons of different "AllowedIps", tried changing MTU sizes, tried changing DNS, tried different IPs, netranges.
I want my Windows peer to give the Android peer access to 192.168.1.x LAN.
Windows peer:
[Interface] PrivateKey = 0EHx (PublicKey = FQSx) ListenPort = 51820 Address = 10.20.10.1/24 [Peer] PublicKey = 5tTx AllowedIPs = 10.20.10.0/24 
Android peer:
[Interface] PrivateKey = IOJx (PubKey = 5tTx) Address = 10.20.10.2/24 [Peer] PublicKey = FQSx EndPoint = EXTERNAL/WAN-IP:51820 AllowedIPs = 10.20.10.0/24, 192.168.1.0/24 
I have this Ping app installed on my Android phone which comes with a Traceroute button. When I press that on the 192.168.1.175 address, sometimes it shows 1 hop to 10.20.10.1, but that's it.
For as far I can tell Windows has forwarding enabled:

2024.05.19 20:49 mandallaz Help ! can't connect a Boss FS-1-WL to my main computer, It works with all others....

Hello !
I am a bit confused, I bought a Boss FS-1-WL controller ( BOSS - FS-1-WL Wireless Footswitch ) to work with Ableton on my main computer.

The FS-1 is found and connect perfectly with my phone or my laptop, so it works well.

But with my main workstation (windows 11), I don't get why the pairing is not working. In paring mode the computer do not see the FS-1-WL
- The computer is on W11, have no bluetooth so I use a dongle.
- I try others Bluetooth devices on this computer and I can pair with each (a Bose headphone, the laptop, the phone) easily
- I bought a new dongle (bluetooth 5.3) just in case, but it's the same
- I already search on Internet and try to remove / reinstall the driver, checked bluetooth configuration, tried to plug the dongle on every USB port, checked my antivirus (bitdefender)...

Could you help me ?
Thanks !

2024.05.19 18:58 xTheChosenOne89x Remote play with Asus ROG Ally - controller not detected.

Hi everyone,
so, when i connect my playstation controller via bluetooth, my rog ally sees it, I can play via steam just fine and everything, the problem is, the remote play app won't see it.
I thought the problem was that the controller needs to be connected via USB for the app to see it, so I bought an adapter (rog ally has no usb ports) and nothing.
I tried connecting the controller via both USB (adapter) and bluetooth using DS4, nothing.
What can I do? The controller works just fine, I use it for remote play on my pc with no detection problems...
Ty for your answers

2024.05.19 15:25 wwefreak666 V-Tech cordless handsets Connect-To-Cell feature

Hi everyone, I’ve got a newly purchased V-Tech cordless handset that has the ability to connect to a cell phone via Bluetooth.
Successfully paired the two. When the cell rings, the cordless handsets ring as well.
The annoying thing with the cordless phones though is that to do anything you have to choose which device you want. I want to be able to just make it default to the only cell connected to the base.
And then sometimes the audio is just awful. Sometimes it sounds very robotic and distorted. Other times, it works fine.
I replaced a Panasonic set that was able to pair with a cell phone as well, but that as well was causing issues with the audio….particularly an echo that the person on the other end would hear.
The Panasonic set is a more robust, more featured set that I find works better overall as a traditional home phone, but the echo is the only disappointing thing in the Panasonic set when it comes to pairing with a cell phone.
The Panasonic set says to keep phone away from base but within Bluetooth range. While the V-Tech set says to place the cell phone near the base. The V-Tech works terribly when it comes to trying to answer a call or make a call. The Panasonic excelled at answering and making calls with a cell phone. But the V-Tech sometimes has better audio with little to no distortion at times. I say sometimes, cause the V-Tech sometimes is so distorted and robotic sounding you can’t continue the call.
I replaced our home phone and ported the home number to a cell phone because I replaced the Internet router and traditional home phone isn’t possible with the new router. But we like our cordless sets versus the heavy cell phone and feel like it’s probably a little more healthier for long phone calls to be on a cordless set vs a cell phone.
Does anyone have any experience with Panasonic or V-Tech Bluetooth pairing to cell phones?
Thanks for your help!

🔗Royal Consumer 500DX Cash Register for Small Business


https://preview.redd.it/wctlejeqed1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ed7d531bf7896343df44a326f8c386416d225cc2
As a small business owner, I can attest that the Royal 500DX Cash Register has been an absolute game-changer for me. The dual LCD displays provide clear visibility for both the clerk and the customer, making transactions seamless and efficient.
One of the standout features is its capacity to handle up to 2,000 employees, which is more than adequate for a small to medium-sized business. Additionally, the unlimited messaging capability ensures that you won't miss any important announcements or updates. However, the product does feel a bit flimsy due to its predominantly plastic design, which might concern those who prefer a sturdier build.
Another fantastic aspect of this cash register is the 999 Price Look-Ups, allowing for quick processing of transactions. Programming four different tax rates also makes the setup process incredibly straightforward. On the downside, the impact printer, although functional, occasionally feels outdated compared to more advanced models.
Overall, the Royal 500DX Cash Register has proven to be a reliable and user-friendly addition to my small business. Its features cater to my daily needs and have undoubtedly contributed to the efficiency and success of my operations.

🔗Sharp XE-A102 Compact Electronic Cash Register with LED Display


https://preview.redd.it/4oocgzqqed1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7f386a4da0393e5ba582f1e06dcfdd64b55e6e0e
I have been using the Sharp XE-A102 Electronic Cash Register for a start-up retail business, and it's been a reliable and efficient partner. The compact design allows it to fit easily in our small store, and the bright LED display makes it easy for us and our customers to see the transaction details. The 8 departments feature helps us organize our inventory, and the 80 PLU/Items capacity allows us to input all our products without issues.
One of the standout features of this cash register is its ability to accept different payment methods like cash, cheque, and credit card, which has made it easy for us to cater to our customers' preferred payment options. Additionally, the time and date display feature ensures that our transactions are accurate and timely.
However, there are a few minor drawbacks to the Sharp XE-A102. It can be a little noisy and slow compared to some other cash registers, which may be an issue during peak hours when we need to serve customers quickly. Moreover, the instructions provided are quite small, making them difficult to read and follow.
Overall, the Sharp XE-A102 Electronic Cash Register has been an excellent addition to our start-up retail business. Its compact design, 58 mm wide reliable printing, and ability to accept multiple payment methods make it a valuable tool for any small retailer. While it may have a few minor issues, the majority of users, including myself, are satisfied with its performance and recommend it to others.

🔗Professional XE Series Electronic Cash Register


https://preview.redd.it/63z5wl2red1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=838a61378141c4d4aaebc4a889e25d11c1c90157
I recently added the Sharp XE Series Electronic Cash Register to my tiny boutique store, and I couldn't be happier. Before settling on this model, I spent a lot of time researching various cash registers, but the XE Series stood out for its advanced sales reporting capabilities and seamless tie-in with QuickBooks Pro. The moment I unboxed it, I was impressed by its sleek, professional appearance and built-in SC card slot for easy connectivity and data back-up.
Setting up the register was incredibly easy, and within just a few hours, it was ready to go. Its intuitive interface made training my employees a breeze. The thermal printer was a pleasant surprise; it's much quieter and faster than traditional receipt printers. Plus, the customizable receipts with graphics and logos definitely give my store a professional edge.
One of my favorite features is the automatic tax system, which not only saves time but also reduces the potential for errors and makes reporting so much easier. The locking drawer ensures security and comes with multiple bill and coin compartments, making deposits a lot more organized.
The only downside is the rather complicated user manual, which could definitely be improved. It's not a complete deal breaker, though, as there are plenty of helpful YouTube tutorials available online.
All in all, I'm thrilled with my purchase of the Sharp XE Series Electronic Cash Register. It's a perfect fit for my small business and a real game-changer when it comes to streamlining sales transactions and accounting. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this cash register to anyone running a small retail or service business.

🔗Casio Single-Tape Thermal Cash Register for Business


https://preview.redd.it/fj9sgulred1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=54574ad3b2350fad83a5af4e9ced9b7a3044e6a6
Casio's PCR-T280 is a fantastic single-tape thermal cash register that offers more functionality for medium-sized businesses than entry-level models. With the ability to track up to 1,200 price lookups, it offers a level of specificity in item sales tracking not commonly found in its class. It also allows businesses to track sales up to eight different operators, making it an excellent tool for business tracking and growth.
One of the standout features of this product is its hygienic, antibacterial keyboard. In our current world, where cleanliness is paramount, this characteristic provides a measure of peace of mind for both business owners and customers alike. Furthermore, its multipurpose tray can hold money in four bill compartments and five coin compartments, ensuring the efficient flow of transactions.
The PCR-T280 also boasts a high-speed thermal printer, which can be used either for customer receipts or as a journal printer for recording all the store's activities. Its mode lock with key control feature provides multiple operation positions through physical keys, providing a level of security usually found in more expensive models.
Although it is not touch-screen, its simple and intuitive design makes it easy to program and use. Some users did find the manual a bit difficult to follow, but with a bit of practice, most find it quite manageable. With its ability to handle multiple sales tax needs and its capacity for PLU capabilities, the Casio PCR-T280 has proven itself as a reliable tool for various businesses, small or medium-sized.
However, one minor drawback is the depth of the money/change drawer, which could have been a little deeper for added convenience. Despite this minor issue, the vast majority of users recommend this register for its performance and price point, providing an excellent value for businesses looking for an affordable, reliable cash register solution.

🔗Heavy-Duty Cash Register with Alpha Keyboard and LCD Display


https://preview.redd.it/rgcm3zured1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e90611839a08205344996bd346c4f76bb8e15960
As an avid user of cash registers in my grocery store, I recently discovered the Royal Alpha 1100ml Cash Register, and my experience has been quite satisfactory. This heavy-duty register is perfect for my high-traffic establishment, offering a reliable and swift cash management system that I can always depend on.
The first thing that caught my eye about this cash register was its single fast and quiet alphanumeric thermal printer, capable of handling over 1 million lines. It's been able to keep up with the constant rush of customers, making it a reliable addition to my store.
The large 10-line LCD user display and alpha keyboard ensure easy programming, which was a breeze, even for a beginner like me. The SD Card slot is another excellent feature, enabling efficient accounting data transfers to a PC, a necessity for any modern business.
However, I will say that the software included with the register can be a bit flaky at times. While it is supposed to read the x and z reports that the machine puts on the sd card, I sometimes find myself having to use the sd card to transfer report data manually. Additionally, getting in touch with their tech support doesn't seem to be very helpful, as they often provide no real technical assistance.
Despite these minor issues, the Royal Alpha 1100ml Cash Register has been a solid addition to my store. Its heavy-duty locking cash drawer with four slot bill and removable five slot coin tray, along with its automatic tax computation, has made managing funds and keeping track of sales much easier for me. If you're in need of a reliable cash register for your business, I'd highly recommend giving this one a try.

🔗Fast and Accurate Cash Register System with Thermal Printing and 8-Line Display


https://preview.redd.it/qu5h8dbsed1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cbccc254fa34615f87dd2812357e0f2a57027db4
I recently discovered the Sharp XEA407 Cash Register while searching for a reliable and feature-rich solution for my little grocery store. After trying it out, I must say it's exceeded my expectations.
The first thing that impresses anyone who lays their eyes on it is the sleek eight-line display. It's not just a pretty face though; it's got brains as well with 7000 Price Lookups (PLU's), allowing quick and accurate entry. The inclusion of 99 departments is brilliant as it makes managing diverse product types a breeze.
My favorite feature? Hands down, the microban keytops. They provide built-in antimicrobial protection, keeping those pesky germs at bay, which is particularly important given the current health situation. And let's not forget about the large 32GB SD card slot for computer connectivity and data storage.
However, there were a few hiccups too. The lack of French documentation was a letdown for me, a French-speaking Canadian. Plus, a few customers have reported missing parts upon delivery, making the product unusable.
So, while there are some minor issues, the Sharp XEA407 Cash Register has overall been a reliable and efficient addition to my store. It's fast, easy to set up, and offers more than enough features for most small businesses. If you're looking for a cash register that combines modern tech with dependability, this might just be the one for you.

🔗Royal 100Cx Portable Battery/AC Powered Cash Register


https://preview.redd.it/mpye61nsed1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=53410d259f67c2fbda2560e107147dca104e0317
As a small business owner, I've been on the hunt for a reliable, portable cash register to make sales easier at my farmer's market stand. The Royal 100Cx, with its compact design and battery-powered operation, has been a reliable companion for me. The automatic tax computation feature is a game-changer, allowing me to easily manage sales and taxes on-the-go. However, the initial setup can be a bit daunting, and the manual doesn't do a fantastic job of explaining everything.
The preset department pricing and sales analysis by category of merchandise are standout features that have helped me keep track of inventory and sales trends. It's crucial for businesses like mine, where inventory and sales fluctuate frequently. The ink roll printer provides a receipt printout, providing a professional touch to every transaction.
In terms of drawbacks, one thing to note is that the tax computation is limited to only four rates – VAT, Canadian, and a couple of others – which may not cater to everyone's business needs. However, for my small farm market business, it's more than sufficient.
Overall, the Royal 100Cx is a dependable piece of hardware, and it's been a significant asset in streamlining my sales process. It may have a slightly steep learning curve, but once mastered, it's a powerful tool for any small business seeking a portable, autonomous cash register solution.

🔗Royal 435dx Cash Register with 16 Department Capability and 8 Clerks


https://preview.redd.it/txxdg61ted1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=164bcd3d5dc97bc9b7528ca1c00673134ce19862
As a small business owner, I can attest to the convenience of the Royal 435dX Electronic Cash Register in my daily operations. Its 16 departments and 800 PLU's ensure an efficient flow of transactions, while the 8 clerk capacity and 4 tax rates enable seamless management, even for those serving in various locations or catering to international clientele.
One of the highlights of this cash register is the front and rear LCD displays, allowing both the clerk and customer to see each transaction clearly. The memory protection with backup batteries provides added security to safeguard data in case of a power outage, a particularly valuable feature for businesses operating in areas with unpredictable power supply.
However, a minor con would be the single station 57mm impact printer, which could limit the pace of transactions during peak rush hours. Also, the locking cash drawer tends to be a bit cumbersome, requiring more time than necessary to retrieve and return change.
Despite these minor drawbacks, the Royal 435dX Electronic Cash Register has significantly improved my business operations, allowing me to keep track of transactions efficiently, even during peak hours. I would recommend this cash register to other small business owners looking for a reliable and feature-rich option that delivers exceptional performance at an affordable price point.

I recently upgraded my old, heavy cash register to the Casio SE-S700, and I must say, it has made running daily transactions a breeze. The built-in rear customer display ensures that prices are accurate, while the 8 department keys and 999 PLUs make it a cinch to organize my inventory.
One of my favorite features is the customizable receipt header, allowing me to print unique messages on each customer receipt. The large, easy-to-read LCD display ensures that no mistakes are made during sales transactions.
However, there are a few cons to consider. The plastic construction doesn't instill much confidence in its durability, and I wish the cash register drawer featured a more secure locking mechanism.
Overall, the Casio SE-S700 has proven to be a reliable and efficient cash register for my small business, saving me time and preventing any hassles when it comes to handling transactions.

🔗Clover Station POS System with Cash Register


https://preview.redd.it/01ab3vrted1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0dc914dd36488d910cdfc6d729888d81d4bd956f
I recently picked up the Clover Station POS System for my little cafe, and it's been quite the rollercoaster ride. Imagine a sleek, brushed aluminum body with a 11.6" touchscreen display that's as responsive as a well-trained puppy. Sounds appealing, right? Well, it is. But let's dive a little deeper.
First off, the touchscreen is large and bright, perfect for both me and my customers to navigate. The high-resolution camera embedded within the system makes scanning barcodes or QR codes a breeze, which is super helpful for keeping track of inventory. Plus, the swivel arm swivels smoothly between my side and the customer's, making transactions feel seamless and personal.
However, there have been some hiccups. For one, the single power source for the display and printer can create a tangled mess of cords, especially when you're trying to juggle other peripherals. And while the connectivity options (Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth) are great, I sometimes find myself struggling with Wi-Fi lags.
Moreover, the customer service has proven to be quite the challenge. You see, I bought the Clover Station from a seller who didn't provide much support. When things went awry, I was left to figure it out on my own. Needless to say, getting in touch with their customer service has been a nightmare. It feels like they're speaking a different language sometimes, and getting a call back is as rare as a winning lottery ticket.
Despite these cons, I still find the Clover Station POS System useful for my small cafe. It's a stylish, reliable system that offers a range of features and connectivity options. However, be prepared for the occasional frustration and confusion, especially when it comes to their customer service.
In conclusion, the Clover Station POS System is a mixed bag. While it boasts a sleek design, large touchscreen, and versatile connectivity options, it also has its fair share of challenges, such as the messy cords and difficult customer service. I'd recommend this product for businesses looking for a stylish and reliable POS system, but be prepared to face a few hurdles along the way.

🔗Casio PCR-T2300 Electronic Cash Register


https://preview.redd.it/1uu2h8zted1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4abee1a70906134d15e54eff47fffca50d24061c
I recently got my hands on the Casio PCR-T2300 Electronic Cash Register and let me tell you, it's been a game-changer for my business. With its 10-line LCD display, it's incredibly easy for me to check the current transaction and eliminate errors. The raised keyboard with 30 department key locations makes inputting data a breeze. Plus, with the built-in pop-up customer display, I can ensure my customers always know exactly what they're paying for.
One of my favorite features of this cash register is the ability to customize receipts with a graphic logo or programmable top and bottom messages, adding a personal touch to each transaction. The heavy-duty metal cash drawer provides more than enough space for five bill compartments and five coin compartments, making it perfect for a busy retail environment.
However, there are a few drawbacks that I've noticed during my time using this product. The instructions provided for programming the cash register could be more clear, leaving some users (like myself) scratching their heads at certain points. Additionally, while the register performs well overall, I have found that there can be some issues with the tape feeding, which can be frustrating at times.
All in all, the Casio PCR-T2300 Electronic Cash Register has proven to be a reliable and efficient addition to my business operations. With its user-friendly design and robust feature set, it's definitely worth considering for any small retailer or grocer looking to streamline their cash-handling processes.

I've been using Square Register - Touchscreen Display, Gray for quite a while now, and it's been a game-changer for managing my small grocery store. The system is incredibly intuitive, with a sleek touchscreen display that makes transactions a breeze. The customer display is perfect for keeping lines moving smoothly, and the compact design ensures my countertop stays clutter-free.
One standout feature of the Square Register is its seamless integration with other Square services, like inventory management and customer feedback. This has made it incredibly easy for me to keep track of my stock and stay in touch with my regular customers. Additionally, the hardware is built to last, which is always a plus when you're investing in new equipment.
However, there's one area where Square Register could improve – the lack of customization options. While the system works great out of the box, I sometimes wish I could tweak some settings to better suit my specific needs. Despite this minor flaw, the Square Register - Touchscreen Display, Gray has definitely helped streamline my operations and improve my customers' experience.

🔗Royal Alpha 583x Electric Cash Register for Small Business


https://preview.redd.it/ug2o5pxued1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4491905c43edb7ebe407895a6d30640aba8bf9b6

One of the features that I absolutely love is the alpha numeric single station thermal printer. It not only prints fast but also allows me to customize the receipts with my company's message, making it a great marketing tool. Another great feature is the serial port for PC connection, which lets me use an optional bar code scanner, making the checkout process even smoother.
However, one minor issue I experienced was with the paper feed. It tends to jam at times, but a quick fix usually solves the problem. Additionally, the display that shows the purchase amount could be more visible, especially in bright lighting conditions.
Overall, I would highly recommend the Royal Alpha 583cx Cash Register to anyone running a small business. Its user-friendly interface, customizable receipts, and reliable performance make it a valuable asset to have in any retail or service environment.

2024.05.19 07:39 npatz Joying Radio is always warm to touch?

Just installed a Joying 8" Android 12.
So far great head unit. Sounds fantastic, puts out strong clean signals.
Replaced an older head unit and just swapped over necessary wires (12v, acc, illum, etc). Turns on and off with key just fine.
However with the key out and radio off, its still warm several hours after turning off. I've even made it "power down" with no acc (vs go into sleep mode).
I had a USB OBDII plugged into car and head unit. Just unplugged the OBD side of it, hoping that that power was keeping the head unit powered.
Any thoughts?
***UPDATE: Hopefully fixed. After unplugging the OBD side of the USB-OBD reader last night, this morning the radio was ambient temperature. So I'm assuming the OBD port was feeding power via USB to the head unit. Bluetooth OBD it is then.

🔗Arkrocket Retro Bluetooth Record Player with Turntable and Built-In Speakers, Brown


https://preview.redd.it/b5tilx8uib1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=38fe181f35ff91847eb92bef068e2f29619d748a
Once upon a time, I stumbled upon the Arkrocket Discovery 3-Speed Bluetooth Record Player with Retro Turntable and Built-In Speakers. As a music lover who appreciates both the classics and new sounds, I was excited to see how this little device would perform.
Right out of the box, I noticed its sleek design and vintage-inspired charm. The removable legs made it easy to fit into any space in my home. Setting up the turntable was a breeze, and within minutes, I was jamming to some old vinyls.
The sound quality was impressive for its size and price range. While the built-in speakers aren't booming, they're perfect for a cozy room or study. The ability to connect my phone via Bluetooth has made it even more versatile, allowing me to stream my favorite digital tunes right alongside my vinyl collection.
However, there was one minor issue that caught my attention. The legs are made of adhesive upholstery, which began to separate after some use. A quick fix with glue restored its appearance, but I wish it had been made with a sturdier material.
Overall, I am thoroughly pleased with my Arkrocket Discovery 3-Speed Bluetooth Record Player. It's not only a great conversation starter but also an affordable and reliable way to enjoy my favorite music in a nostalgic yet modern manner.

🔗Crosley Cruiser Plus Bluetooth Suitcase Turntable in Tourmaline


https://preview.redd.it/qr9j36luib1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ef9cd5306e83ab3bf3f611edecdf742d653daa3a
Once a vinyl enthusiast, always a vinyl enthusiast. That's my motto ever since I got my hands on the Crosley Cruiser Plus Turntable - Tourmaline. It just blends old school music with modern technology seamlessly. When I first unboxed it, I was instantly charmed by its charming suitcase-style shell. It gave off a vintage vibe that I absolutely loved. Plus, the built-in Bluetooth receiver and stereo speakers took the convenience factor up a notch.
Navigating through the Turntable is a breeze. The adjustable pitch control and 3-speed feature (33 1/3, 45 & 78 RPM) gave me the flexibility to play any vinyl record I wanted. And don't even get me started on the Bluetooth in/out capability. It was like having a digital music player and a vinyl record player all wrapped into one device.
One day, I had the brilliant idea of connecting my phone to the turntable and playing some of my favorite vinyl-to-digital remastered tracks. The sound quality was phenomenal, a perfect blend of digital clarity and analog warmth. Now, if only it didn't skip randomly sometimes. . .
Despite the occasional skip, the Crosley Cruiser Plus Turntable has been a reliable and enjoyable companion on my vinyl adventure. It's portable, easy to use, and best of all, it beautifully blends the charm of old school vinyl with the convenience of modern technology.

🔗Bluetooth Vinyl Record Player with Built-In Stereo Speakers, 3-Speed Belt-Driven Turntable, AUX, RCA & Headphone Sockets


https://preview.redd.it/4r6hc26vib1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=24689ae9c70aa600cb5a97f615dad61b9d8b6ae4
I recently got my hands on this Bluetooth-enabled vintage vinyl record player and it's been a fantastic addition to my music collection. The first thing that caught my eye was the sleek, retro design that adds a touch of class to any room. But, it's not all about looks. The built-in Bluetooth function makes it incredibly easy to connect and play my favorite digital music from my phone or tablet, while the 3-speed belt-driven turntable lets me enjoy all of my vinyl records at various speeds.
One of the standout features for me is the high-sensitivity stylus, which does an excellent job of accurately reading record information. The audio output is decent for its size, and I appreciate the added flexibility of the 3.5mm Aux-in and RCA output options. However, the built-in speakers could be better, so I sometimes connect it to my external speaker system for a more immersive listening experience.
Some drawbacks I noticed are the relatively low power output, which might not be able to fill a big room with sound, as well as the lack of an adaptive speed feature. Additionally, the build quality feels a bit flimsy and the accompanying instructions could be clearer.
Overall, this Bluetooth record player is a stylish and functional addition to any music lover's collection, offering a nostalgic vinyl listening experience with modern connectivity. It's not perfect, but for its price point, it's definitely worth considering.

🔗Bluetooth Vinyl Turntable with 40W Stereo Speakers


https://preview.redd.it/phrbaubvib1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e6c440c810a089975924b5fed55e740647ab3870
As a music enthusiast, I've had my fair share of turntables, but the Arkrocket Cassini has truly stood out. Upon receiving it, I was blown away by its stunning walnut finish and sleek design. The ease of setup was impressive, making it truly user-friendly. However, what truly captured my attention was the sound quality this turntable delivers.
It uses a moving magnet cartridge system, which offers a stable playback, allowing my vinyls to be enjoyed in all their glory. This turntable also supports Bluetooth, giving me the flexibility to connect with wireless speakers or headphones when I want. The included 40Watt bookshelf speakers are a cherry on top, providing clear and powerful sound.
The only con I noticed was that the turntable is a bit on the heavier side, making it a little less portable than some other options. However, this is a minor inconvenience for the incredible listening experience it provides. Overall, I highly recommend the Arkrocket Cassini for anyone looking to enhance their vinyl listening experience.

🔗Bluetooth Record Player with Stereo Speakers and Cassette Player


https://preview.redd.it/ep176snvib1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=851778d4650a0515ba32cd0c7c7fbc6ff54ae82a
I've been using the Digitnow Bluetooth Record Player with Stereo Speakers, and it's been such a nostalgic blast. Not only does it let me play my old vinyls, but it also has cassette functionality, making it a compact all-in-one media player.
One of the standout features for me is the MP3 conversion capability. As someone who's been slowly digitizing my old music collection, this has been a game-changer. No need for a computer, just connect your USB or SD card and convert your vinyls directly into a MP3 format. The built-in speakers are decent, but they really shine when connected to an external sound system.
The design is quite user-friendly too. The buttons are clearly labeled, and there's even a remote control for added convenience. Plus, the retro look with wooden sides adds a touch of classic charm to my home decor.
However, there are a few downsides. The build quality could be better, as it feels a bit flimsy in places. Additionally, while the sound quality is passable, it's not quite on par with dedicated audio equipment.
Despite these minor drawbacks, I've absolutely loved using the Digitnow Bluetooth Record Player. It's perfect for anyone who wants to relive their old vinyl and tape days, or for those looking to preserve and share their music collection.

🔗Retro Full-Size Jukebox Vinyl Record Player with Bluetooth and USB


https://preview.redd.it/n0uv795wib1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eb10d9f6e2c425199b84b46cfcb59d94183c7ff4
I recently got my hands on the Arkrocket Full-Size Jukebox Vinyl Record Player and I must say, it brought back a lot of nostalgic memories of my childhood trips to the soda shop. This retro-inspired marvel not only looks stunningly classic but also provides a delightful listening experience with various playback options.
One of the features that truly stood out for me was its bluelight compatibility. It allowed me to effortlessly stream music from my smartphone right into the jukebox, blending old-school charm with modern convenience. Additionally, it comes equipped with a USB port, an SD card slot, and of course, a CD player - talk about versatility!
However, there were a couple of minor drawbacks. The jukebox is quite heavy at nearly 47 pounds, making it a little challenging to move around. Furthermore, I noticed that some parts seemed slightly fragile and needed careful handling.
In conclusion, if you're looking to add a touch of retro style to your home while enjoying your vinyl collection or streaming tunes from your phone, the Arkrocket Full-Size Jukebox Vinyl Record Player could be just what you need. Just remember to handle it with care and maybe keep it in one spot due to its weight.

🔗Vinyl Record Player with MP3 Converter, Bluetooth, CD, and Cassette


https://preview.redd.it/u9qwwsdwib1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c3f8bdce3bc9650022b10aac1474d0bc4eef0ea3
I recently got my hands on the Digitnow Bluetooth Record Player Turntable, and I can tell you firsthand that it's a versatile and retro-chic addition to your music setup. The briefcase-style design is both trendy and timeless, featuring classic color schemes that blend seamlessly with any decor.
One of the standout features of this turntable is its ability to play multiple formats, including vinyl, CDs, cassettes, and even MP3s. The twin detachable speakers offer clear and loud sound, ensuring that you can jam out to your tunes without any pesky noise interference. Plus, the built-in Bluetooth connection lets you stream music wirelessly from your phone or laptop, giving you even more options for your listening pleasure.
Another awesome feature is the vinyl-to-MP3 recording function. This allows you to digitize your vinyl records and save them on a USB or SD card, making it easier than ever to backup and share your old vinyl collection with friends and family.
Now, let's talk about the downsides, shall we? While the design is undoubtedly eye-catching, the build quality leaves something to be desired. Some users have reported issues with the CD door and overall durability of the unit. Additionally, the remote control is quite small and difficult to use, which can be frustrating if you're not a fan of getting up to change the volume or switch tracks.
In conclusion, the Digitnow Bluetooth Record Player Turntable is a unique and compact device that offers a wide range of listening options for music enthusiasts. While there are some minor drawbacks in terms of build quality and usability, the overall experience is enjoyable, especially for those who appreciate the nostalgic appeal of vinyl records.

As an avid vinyl lover, I recently had the chance to try out the Digitnow! Turntable Record Player. This sleek, vintage-styled device has three speeds and built-in speakers for easy listening. I was pleasantly surprised by its portability, as it's compact enough to take with me on trips or parties without compromising on sound quality. The adjustable 33 1/3, 45, or 78 RPM speeds let me enjoy all my vinyl records without any issues.
One thing that stood out to me was how easy it was to use. The minimalistic design made it straightforward to set up and operate, even for someone like me who's not very tech-savvy. Another highlight was the sound quality - the dynamic full-range stereo speakers delivered crisp, clear audio that brought my old vinyl records back to life.
However, there were also some drawbacks. While the built-in speakers are decent, they might not be powerful enough for larger gatherings or more demanding music enthusiasts. Additionally, I noticed that the turntable can be a bit sensitive, so you'll need to handle it gently to avoid damaging your vinyl records.
Overall, I've had a mostly positive experience with the Digitnow! Turntable Record Player. Its stylish design, ease of use, and good sound quality make it a great choice for anyone looking to enjoy their vinyl collection in a modern way.

🔗Bluetooth-Enabled Stereo Turntable

When I first got my hands on the Audio-Technica AT-LP60XBT-SV Bluetooth Stereo Turntable, I was excited to bring back the vinyl vibes of old. As someone who enjoys collecting and listening to records, this little device quickly became my go-to for its easy setup and great sound quality.

The Bluetooth connectivity also added a lot of functionality to my listening experience. I could easily pair the turntable with my wireless speakers or headphones, allowing me to enjoy my vinyl collection from anywhere in the room. Plus, the included CSR BT chipset ensured that the connection was stable and didn't drop out unexpectedly.
However, there were a few drawbacks that I encountered with this turntable. Firstly, the build quality felt a tad flimsy, especially when compared to other models in the same price range. Additionally, although the sound quality was decent overall, it wasn't quite up to par with some of the more premium options on the market.
In summary, if you're looking for a beginner-friendly turntable that offers great convenience and easy setup, the Audio-Technica AT-LP60XBT-SV is definitely worth considering. While its build quality and sound performance are not top-notch, it provides excellent value for the price and will surely bring back those retro vinyl vibes you've been craving.

I recently got my hands on the Digitnow Bluetooth Record Player Turntable, a multifunctional device that plays vinyl records, tapes, CDs, and even connects to your smartphone via Bluetooth. I was excited to give it a try, as I've been collecting vinyls for a while now and wanted a convenient way to listen to them.
Right out of the box, the turntable was easy to set up. Its compact size makes it perfect for any living space, and it comes with a built-in speaker that provides decent sound quality. The ability to convert vinyl records into MP3 files directly is a lifesaver for music enthusiasts like me who want to share their favorite tunes without fumbling with extra devices.
However, not everything was perfect. The build quality of the turntable wasn't as high as I'd hoped, which led to some durability issues. Additionally, the sound level could be louder for a more immersive listening experience, especially when using the Bluetooth feature.
All in all, the Digitnow Bluetooth Record Player Turntable is a solid choice for those looking to play and share their vinyl records and other media formats. While it has some room for improvement in the build and sound department, its convenient features make it worth considering for any music lover's collection.

Moreover, its factory-fixed settings ensure optimal performance right out of the box.
The plinth boasts an integrated elastomer vibration absorber, providing enhanced stability, accompanied by a removable dust cover that protects the device. The meticulously crafted aluminium die-cast platter and heavy rubber mat effectively dampen unwanted resonance, resulting in exceptional sound clarity. In addition, the drive's rubber mountings eliminate vibrations, while the precision-cut belt aids in minimising wow and flutter.
My personal experience using the Dual CS 329 has been nothing short of awe-inspiring. Each vinyl listening session is now elevated due to its superior sound quality, making this turntable a worthwhile investment. While it may lack some of the advanced features of higher-end models, its ease of use and setup more than make up for it.
However, one minor drawback lies in its lack of customisability. For those seeking to fine-tune their listening experience, the fixed settings might be somewhat limiting. Nevertheless, for the casual vinyl collector or someone new to analogue playback, the Dual CS 329 is an absolute gem.
In conclusion, the Dual CS 329 Fully Automatic Turntable strikes a perfect balance between user-friendliness and superb sound quality. It's my go-to recommendation for those looking to explore the world of vinyl or simply enjoy a hassle-free and enriching listening experience.

2024.05.19 05:46 S7EFEN Soundbar+Smart TV incompatibility/troubleshooting?

I have a new samsung smart tv, i have a soundbar HT-SS360 from sony.
I'm attempting to connect the tv to the soundbar via HDMI.
The HDMI port is connected to my soundbars (OUT), and to my TVs (eARC 3) port.
https://imgur.com/a/z4Ut0iF
When i go through my samsung tv setup for sound output i only see 'tv speaker', 'receiver(optical)' and bluetooth speaker list. HDMI troubleshooting also indicates 'no audio device connected to HDMI 3 ARC.'
Am i missing something obvious with the setup here? From what I can tell my soundbar is not being recognized at all by my tv. Possible incompatibility? Bad HDMI cord? My understanding of how audio components, tvs etc work is very low. spent some time reading through the connection setup but nothing obvious stands out as to why it wouldnt be recognized.

2024.05.19 04:12 redditoeat Better option for basic non-gaming PC use

I know this is a Build PC community and I apologize if this is out of topic but i don't know where to post it. I have very basic PC knowledge. Please bear with me hehe.
I want to upgrade my ancient Windows 7 desktop PC, pero sobrang baba lang kasi ng price range ko, beliw 10k lang sana. I just need a basic PC for browsing, Youtube-ing, Office docs, with all the basic USB and hdmi ports, ideally with Bluetooth and wifi and preinstalled Windows. I have no intention of doing any kind of gaming or any kind of heavy work (graphics, video, photo, music) with it.
Kahapon lang ako naging aware sa option ng mini PC which is actually better for my needs, price and space-wise. Beelink is one of the most popular brands na nakita ko, pero nag aalangan ako sa longevity since I've seen reviews na weeks or months lang tumagal sa kanila. I've been checking out the mini S12 ones. Or is there a more durable mini PC option?
Are those refursbished Dell Optiplex, Lenovo Think Centre, HP Elite Desk mini PCs a better option kesa sa mga Beelink types?
Or is it a safer option to just buy a new ready made basic desktop PC-only set? Meron bang trusted online Laz stores to get one with decent after sales?
Ang daming tanong sorry hehe.
EDIT: My still-going boomer PC: 4gb ram, Intel Pentium dual E2180, 32-bit Windows 7.

Recently bought a used 08 sahara 2 door. Can't recommend enough this cheap Chinese plug and play head unit!!
Originally I was going to keep the factory head unit as it actually had the OEM touchscreen, later did I find out that while it has a hard drive to rip CDs it didn't actually have Bluetooth or NAV, despite having a dedicated nav button -_-
Well $180 Canadian buckeros later ($130 freedom bucks). I got this generic Chinese head unit from Amazon.
While I did contemplate getting a much bigger screen like the ones you see on aliexpress they had very mixed reviews, not to mention I didn't like the fact they only had touch controls, now physical volume/tuning.
This one however has it all! Runs android so you can download pretty much anything on the Play store such as Netflix ,YouTube, obd2 apps. It has both wired and wireless car play/android auto, a really thorough parametric equalizer, hands free calling, it's own built in GPS nav and the ability to hook up a reverse camera (I didn't bother).
The other thing that's great is that it has both USB A and C ports on the front behind little rubber doors which is super convenient for charging phones.
Overall sound quality is better than OEM thanks to the parametric EQ. The Head unit itself is specifically designed for Chrysler vehicles so it's all plug and play, all wiring included with no soldering required. Took me like 25 minutes to install.
If I had only two gripea is I wish the display got a bit brighter and higher resolution but really it's fine, especially for what I paid, it's not laggy at all.
Anyone with a 2018 or below JK this is a must have if you want modern infotainment on the cheap.

After the latest update my USB-dongle have been fuzzy, randomly disconnecting etc.
I've tried a bunch of things including (but not limited to):
Reinstalling Audeze HQ Reinstalling firmware for drivers Reinstalling firmware for headset Uninstalling all drivers Uninstalling drivers with USBDeview Updating MOBO Trying all the USB-ports (including the 2.0 and USB-C) Factory Reset in Audeze HQ
After doing this multiple times over the span of the last few sessions I was starting to give up. Today when trying all these steps again - I realized it was getting worse, it was working for a few minutes a couple of days ago. Now if I get the dongle to connect - it works for a few seconds and then just disconnects again. It does appear in Audeze HQ for those few seconds - but then it disappears.
The headset works fine with a wired of bluetooth connection, it's just this dongle that I can not get to work properly. I want to use it wireless and my PC doesn't have bluetooth so in order to do that I have to use the dongle.
RMA direcly with Audeze is a no go, since I am living in Sweden. I have contacted Audeze and my retailer for options/support, still waiting for an answer.
I'm at my wits' end, does anyone have anything else I could try?
Edit: To clarify, I only use my Maxwells for PC. I really dislike that it switched to my phone if I got a notification or a call when gaming, so stopped using it for mobile very quickly.

2024.05.18 21:10 More-Equivalent-4710 Mac mini m1 stopped receiving keyboard inputs, how to factory reset?

Suddenly my keyboard inputs stopped working, so intuitively i restarted my mac in the hopes of being able to fix it. Which it did not, then i changed the USB port thinking that would fix it ( a fixing one that was being used by my mouse ). That also didnt fix it, checked my keyboard on another computer and that wasn’t the issue, tried another keyboard ( bluetooth ). Does not work. When i switch to caps, it shows it in the password bar. But typing is no good.
How do i fix this without being able to use my keyboard - eg unlocking the mac and manually resetting it?

2024.05.18 15:10 Opal-Lotus-123 SONOS Connect and/or Port … such a flexible device!

Over time I have commented in several Posts about the many uses the Connect/Port has so I thought I’d finally create a Post (if only to distract us from current affairs) listing how I make good use of them.
1. I have (4) powered subwoofers (non-sonos) in different rooms of the house. Analogue output from the Connect to the analogue input of the subwoofer. I will name this Connect say “Sub Loft” and just group it with the ERA 100’s in this room. This allowed me to choose whatever brand/type of subwoofer I wanted for a particular application. I do have (3) Sonos subwoofers as well that are better suited for my Arc & Beam.
  1. Port is connected to my main 2-channel audio system for streaming music. I ripped my CD Collection to lossless FLAC files and they are on my NAS. For me, this was the reason I bought my very first Connect S1 so many years ago and what brought me into the Sonos environment to begin with, no need to spin a CD. I have loads of music I could never find on any streaming service. Not to mention CD sound quality vs lower bit streaming services.
  2. I have 2 pairs of really nice Powered Speakers, analogue output from Connect to analogue input on the back of the speakers.
  3. Connect to Bluetooth long distance transmitter using the Optical connection. This little fella named “Headphones” gets used a lot. I turn the TV on, group add the Headphones to the TV Soundbar (ARC) and I'm in business. The Bluetooth transmitter reserves 2 different headphones so most of the time it's an instant connection. I will re-pair (which is fairly quick on my unit) when I use different headphones. I like the versatility this set up gives me because I wouldn't want to use expensive headphones for working around the house, yard, garage etc .... and of course use the nice ones for TV viewing or just laying around listening to music.
The Connect/Port is another great way to integrate a Turntable into the Sonos System. You will need a phono preamp if your table does not have one built in.
Personally, I think the Port is over priced and if more affordable a lot more could be sold for all the various applications it’s capable of.
My Connects are S2 (later versions) so if you’re thinking of trying anything I’ve listed be aware the original Connect units are S1 only. Note the replacement Port does not have an optical output, why is a mystery to me.
Well I hope that gives everyone some new ideas ….

2024.05.18 05:10 Spaced-Station Hdmi multi port thing stopped working with both of my docks months ago and both steamdecks. Any idea why?

I have an hdmi input output device connected to my PC monitor allowing for up to four devices to be connected for image out to the hdmi port on my monitor and my PC uses the DP 1.4 port
I have two steamdecks and two docks
Since launch and until 2023 I used one deck with a jsaux dock no frills or a different brand dock with a nvme ssd slot. Never had a single issue I would just press the button on the remote or on the hdmi switcher itself to where the deck hdmi was inputting and game away without using my power hungry room heating pc.
I haven't contacted steam support yet but anyway and also I'm tired as heck but at some point, one of the updates stopped the docks from working with hdmi switcher.
They work fine on a TV receiver with multiple inputs
My steamdecks run fine outputting video to my monitor on the usb c video/65w power out port.
All my other devices work fine on the hdmi switcher, cables aren't at fault, docks aren't faulty.
One of the updates borked something needed for the switcher.
Again, I can still use the dock if I disconnect the switcher and plug it in directly and I can use USB c video like a dock without USB ports nor an ssd slot.
So before I contact steam support - any ideas what I should add to help valve determine what happened?
For context in your responses, while very tired and goofy sounding as a result. I build my own pcs and some for friends and also have dual booted Linux since 2009. I'll understand more technical responses after a good night's rest.
Again I'm looking for either a solution or a good way to get more info on the problem before contacting steam without much to say.
If it matters, the hdmi switcher doesn't do audio and has optional micro usb power support which I've found always works better.
I use this switcher daily. I'm configuring a raspberry pi 4 with Ubuntu on it right now and toggling between inputs to a ps4 game download.
A high quality multi input device like a Yamaha receiver still works fine with either dock or deck. Whatever update caused this to stop working did not impact higher end gear.
It's nbd as usb c w Bluetooth audio and a Xbox or Playstation controller work fine but that ssd dock really let's me use the deck in desktop mode when I want a zippy Linux experience without my hot air generating, power eating OC pc.
Any tips on what to say short and sweet to steam support more specifically or ideally a solution here would be great.
I can feel my bed calling. Gnight all 😴
Ty in advance

2024.05.18 04:11 ZaVi1714 My Windows 11 computer is completely unable to recognize my Xbox controller (2023)

For a few weeks now, I have found myself unable to use my Xbox controller on my Windows 11 PC due to the system being completely unable to recognize the controller after a Firmware update that failed on its own. The controller has already been taken for warranty maintenance to Microsoft services and returned to me, even so, my PC does not recognize the controller either in the Microsoft Accessories App or in the Device Manager, where it only appears as "Controller" and it does not have any functional driver assigned, nor can I update the driver to use the Xbox Peripherals driver.
Furthermore, the controller is also completely useless under a Bluetooth connection, in which, although the controller is capable of connecting and being recognized as a Wireless Xbox Controller, no button is recognized other than the Y button, which has the function of the button. Otherwise, neither button works on this connection, nor is it recognized by the Xbox Accessories app.
I can rule out that the problem is the control since I already tried with another control of the same model, having the same null result, as well as connecting both controls to my laptop that has Windows 10 installed, in which there is no recognition problem or functioning.
I have tried ALL the solutions that Microsoft and other users have provided in these questions to the community, whether changing cable, port, Bluetooth connection, uninstalling the device driver for both USB and Bluetooth connections, restarting the PC, removing the batteries to connect it with the cable and wait a few moments, update the firmware (which caused all this problem to begin with), update Windows 11, optional updates, reinstall the Xbox Accessories app, etc.

2024.05.18 00:53 Significant_Bear_676 USB not working

I’ve been having issues with my 2015 Acura TLX USB port and playing music with it. When I plug in the cord, it starts charging and my control center shows that the audio is connecting to something via wired connection, but no sound will come out of my phone and it pops up “No Data” on the screen. I know it’s not the cord, because it works for my Dad’s phone just fine. My iPhone is fully up to date and i’ve searched the settings and found nothing that could help solve the problem. I’ve scoured the internet to try and find solutions but haven’t really found any. I would just use bluetooth, but I had to take the Bluetooth module out due to it draining my car battery while my car was off. And i would like to be able to charge my phone and listen to music at the same time, so i’d like to stray away from the aux cord not just because of that reason, but also because the usb is more accessible with the steering wheel. I figured coming here I would probably at least get some sort of answer, so here I am. Thank you for your help.

2024.05.18 00:13 Difficult-Ad5623 How would one go about connecting a speaker to an Xbox externally?

I have a monitor with one HDMI port and no speakers and I’m just wondering how I could finally get sound coming out of my Xbox after six years of playing. I’ve gotten to a point where I don’t play with my friends now and play more single player games which you don’t need a headset for. Could I connect it via Bluetooth or do I have to wire it?

2024.05.17 19:44 TheQuantumiser ND1 Bluetooth errors after USB connection

I've been connecting my android phone to the stock (pre-Android Auto) head unit via Bluetooth for the last 6-8 months without issue.
Turned the car on and connected Bluetooth earlier, then plugged my phone into one of the USB ports to charge as well.
On doing that the Bluetooth disconnected and won't reconnect. I just get an Unable to Connect Device Unknown Error when I try. Get a very similar Unable to Remove [devicename] when I try to unpair it too.
Bluetooth has been turned off and on on both devices, and both have been restarted multiple times.
Anyone had this before and know how to fix it? USB was connected as Charge Only so don't understand why it caused issues with Bluetooth!
EDIT: left it for 20-30 minutes and was then able to unpair and re-pair successfully, then connect to Bluetooth while charging (slowly) no idea what went wrong there!
