In the news:
00:40:02 – News: Apple TV 4K 4th Gen
It’s new. It’s barely any different. It’s much more expensive: https://tinyurl.
QUESTIONS:
00:47:30 – Dazz: Apple TV 4K Discussion
Some troubleshooting of HDMI-CEC, and figuring out if it’s worth running out to buy either a 3rd Gen or a 4th Gen model.
00:59:45 – Infinite Gary: Extras, Atmos & Sub
If a disc has Bonus Features but Kaleidescape doesn’t, does that sway our purchase? Atmos isn’t just about overhead sounds, is it? Will an SVS SB-1000 Pro satisfy him as a replacement for his Rythmik F12-400?
01:12:07 – Michael: Wired USB-C In-Ears
He wants in-line controls, Hi-Res Audio support, and a wired USB-C connection, all at a low price in Canada.

01:24:05 – John: Is Atmos Height Virtualization Automatic?
