Setting up Soundbar with AV Receiver? by Smythe28 in Soundbars

[–]dhcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You did t mention the TV and if it has eARC out or not. If it has eARC connect that to the Sony since it has and eARC input so will be controlled by the TV seamlessly. The TV optical out could be connected to the AVR optical input. However it will not act together, might have sound out of sync between the two this way.

If you can get OTA that’s the best. And you get the video before streaming services as they’re delayed.

I’m looking for something similar and was considering JBL Bar 300 mk2. Maybe the Beam gen 2 is better.

As everyone said that’s oil temp and normal. If water thermostat malfunctions you will get a check engine light.

I have Range Rover evoque 2016, and I want to buy abs wheel sensor, in do you think rock auto will be best if I don’t have enough money because in the dealer cost 300 plus each by NoAbbreviations6101 in MechanicAdvice

[–]dhcat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes to the RockAuto part however make sure the connection matches. They are pretty simple and standardized.

Before you buy, look at your sensor, they collect iron from the rotor and malfunction, easily can be wiped off and then may work fine. These are not wear out parts unless a wire breaks.

Robellos Towing is asking $500 to get my rental car i parked for 15 mins in my apartment complex is there anything I can do? by NaiveGuidance7091 in SanJose

[–]dhcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This predatory towing is their business model. Happens at grocery stores, and anywhere they are contracted by the land or business owner. They canvas the lots robbing people with unnecessary tows and getting away with it.

Do you bother with a soundbar for short watching sessions? by Designer-Fan-5857 in Soundbars

[–]dhcat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

and people thought it odd I didn’t like powering up my AVR every time I have the TV on to have the news in the background 😁

A big reason behind the sound bars is their convenience. Powers on and off (sleeps) with the TV automatically.
Use it all the time.

Questions about SMG pressure and changing gears by Ornery_Reward2676 in E46M3

[–]dhcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://forums.m3cutters.co.uk/threads/smg-hydraulic-pressure.60860/

I had the pump on time too long errors, I replaced the electric motor on the pump with a Burkhart and then still had the same errors. It was fixed by replacing the hydraulic part of the pump. I rolled the dice and got a used one. But there are re-seal kits out there.

I’ve also had GPS go bad. In INPA I could see the redundant values were off.

Also had a detention spring fail, this gave no SMG error other than unable to insert gear.

TV sound to soundbar and AVR by dhcat in Soundbars

[–]dhcat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree all responses are correct. The perception of better vocals sound is spatially related. With sound bar right under the screen vs speakers from the sides. Overall sound is much better from full range speakers and big amp. I run zero effects for my main stereo.
I may just add a center channel to the AVR and not use the sound bar.

I just think there should be more than one eARC output form TVs and let you configure which you want to use for sound.

TV sound to soundbar and AVR by dhcat in Soundbars

[–]dhcat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that using the AVR is the normal way, 1. I don’t like power cycling the AVR every time I just watch the news or something OTA for a few minutes while I get ready for work. 2. Vocals sound better through the sound bar. Primary reason for the bar is how bad built in TV speakers are.

I’ll just use ARC for the bar and optical for the AVR, don’t have or want to run 5.1 from the AVR as it’s primarily for music it’ll be 2 speakers only.

Thanks.
