I too have one and rarely use it. My reason is I have the tiniest bit of vision and if I use huge print I can see the item's title. If one had no other choice, the unit is okay, but if you have an iPhone, you have several options which work very well.

Re: Sound bars
Hi Tom, Most certainly, a sound bar will help a whole lot.I have a 40 inch television and added a 37 inch sound bar. They offer enough internal enclosure to give it some of that rich depth the old set had. Remember to get as wide of a sound bar as your particular installation can allow for great stereo separation. Its a cheap alternative, and I only paid about $ 65 for the sound bar. It was very pleasing when it was set up and I've never regretted the purchase.

Re: Sound bars
The one I went with was on eBay. Its called ILive, and was a company I never heard of before. It has three equalizer presetts, bass and trebble controls mode for the bluetooth volume and mute on the little credit card sized remote. As I said, I'm by no means an audiophile, but for me it does the job. I learned its available through walmart and you might check their website to see if the size you want is available in your store.

Re: Soundbars
Hi Howard, Older televisions typically had enough speaker enclosure and did not require something like a sound bar. The newer flat screen models are the ones we speak of, and most if not all have multiple modes of input and output, making it a simple matter of plugging in a stereo cable or HDMI cable and making the connection.

Using a Soundbar would mean very little set-up on my part to enjoy the experience of Surround-Sound in a movie or from Channels on my Set Top Box etc, no need to set-up individual speakers as I did in the lounge and so on. It should be noted that - whatever system you used with your Television these days - would improve the sound quality of your TV, the speakers in those TV sets now are even worse than 2 tins, 1 on each end of a piece of string. There are several reasons for the bad audio quality, the most obvious being that Television sets these days are getting to the point of being as thick as a piece of cardboard thus good sound would really be defying the laws of physics.

If a soundbar at $150 improves the sound quality from your TV then I guess it is worthit. each person must decide what they can afford and act accordingly. If you have your hi-fi in your living room where you have the TV then feeding the TV through the Hi-fi will greatly improve the sound quality. I think it should be noted here that Soundbars are designed to give a particular cinematic sound and in my opinion if it is for listening to music seriously then a good hi-fi is the better option. If though it is to use with your TV or DVD then a soundbar is a good investment. If you are going to spend a lot of money then you would be wise to audition the soundbar first by visiting a reputable dealer.

Re: Sony voice recorder
Hi, I use some older Sony voice recorders, and almost all the time the erase button is on the upper right of the unit. You press on it once and it plays a part of the message if long, or perhaps the whole message if short. Press that button a second time and wham, its deleted. Those Sony DCB recorders are relatively inexpensive and great. They use to have buttons to change to 4 different folders, but since the screen menus, I just stick to one folder. The best thing about them is if you have the menus set correctly they will append a message, so if you're making a grocery list, you can do it all in one file as you think about additional items you want to add to an already saved list.

Re: Is the NCH audio software accessible?
I've used Express Burn for several years, and I find it totally accessible. There is one area near the bottom that keeps track of how much space is on the disk, and how much of that space you've marked files for burning. This is only accessible via the Jaws cursor, or a simple script can be written. Best of all, the program is free for the first two weeks or 15 days, so you get to try it prior to buying it. - Original Message - From: dan Kerstetter dh...@comcast.net To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Thursday, December 26, 2013 11:32 AM Subject: RE: Is the NCH audio software accessible?

Hi list, Merry Christmas. Would anyone here know about the accessibility of the software from NCH? Specifically, I want to look into their Express Burn CD burning software, if it works on Windows 7 64 bit machines. If anyone's had experience using this, would you please give me some pointers for getting the best use from it? Windows Media Player seems a bit tricky for setting up a playlist to burn to a CD; I use System Access for a screen reader but something's wrong with the Media Library in that it won't let me burn something to CD; Support can't help much in this case. I have tried Digital Jukebox from Marvelsoft; in that case yes, I can make the playlist and then go to the Project menu and tell the program to burn the tracks to CD; a blank CD is in the drive, but when I hit the okay button after I'm given the total playing time for the tracks to burn the CD, the speech just goes silent and a message pops up that the dj.exe has stopped working and should be closed; I haven't heard back from their tech support yet, maybe tomorrow after Christmas. Meanwhile I'm wanting to find out more about Express Burn by NCH Software to find out if it's accessible with screen readers before I plunk down money for it. Thanks in advance for any info you can give me on this; also if anyone has experience with Digital Jukebox by Marvelsoft I'm interested in learning about experiences people had using it. thanks again and Merry Christmas.

Re: re for soundforge users
Hi Curtis, I'm pretty sure I'm following your directions clearly. Both disconnected and disabled recording devices are checked. when I go into recording devices applet. I have enough vision to see that none of the three devices available are selected, but its two microphone inputs and a line in device. No other devices ever show. Does this mean there is no sound mixer available in my sound drivers?

Right click, or press shift-f10 or the applications key, and enable both show disabled devices and disconnected devices. Press enter on both of those, even if you have to go out and come back in making sure nothing is highlighted first when you make your second enabling choice. Then, look, again, under recording devices. You will see a disabled device called stereo mix,. The first page of the properties for the device, dialog box will give you the ability to enable the device. To get to that dialog, hit alt-p while it is highlighted. -- Curtis Delzer. HS.

Re: for soundforge users
The stereo Mix ability that was so easy to use in Windows XP, disappeared with Windows 7. I wish there was a way also to trigger this sound ability so that everything on the computer can be recorded. I imagine it was removed to prevent folks from recording digital copies of copyrighted materials. I searched google, and all I could find was things that said to check for sound card driver updates. When that is done, I get your driver is up to date. Anyone have any ideas?
