A few years ago, We used to have an annoying contributor to DIYnot using the title Joe 90. He was totally unconstructive, annoying and Unhelpful. He was ruining a fantastic web facility. It would not be you using another title by any chance?. You have missed a very basic fact, the Sound Bar was...

Lucid is being helpful and constructive in his communications as opposed to dismissive and opinionated.

Hi Lucid, Thank you so much for your help and advice. I was relieved to read your valued opinion of LG User Manuals. I was beginning to think that age was catching up on me regarding the understanding of what is supposed to be usable operating instruction. I have downloaded LG latest version of...

I dont really want to send it back, it's rather like 'the gift horse in the mouth' issue. The sound is noticeably better with the cheap Sound Bar but I can't help thinking that it could be better with a bit of knowledgeable tweaking. The problem is my very limited knowledge of what to Tweak. The...

Hi Lucid. Just found on Page 24 of the manual reference to the switching On and Off of the SIMPLINK function. I have checked the HDMI-CEC setting and SImplink is switched ON

Hi Lucid, Thanks so much for your comprehensive reply. I might add, I am in deepwater here, if I explain, my degree was in Electrical Power Engineering - Rotating Machines, in the late 1960's, when Michael Faraday was a lad, so Communication 50 years on has developed to be unrecognisable to an...

Hi RG, Yeah, I looked at that Wikipedia link a while ago, it is very informative. It gets a bit deep at times but very educational. Thanks for your suggestions. Not a great improvement from my other TV either. I think I need to lower my expectations and accept the obvious, 'You Get What You Pay...

You are spot on with respect to relying on reviews, and my experience of Curry's in store advice is that they know less than I do in most technical stuff and I know next to nothing about things such as Sound Bars, my experience being limited to being able to spell 'Sound Bar' and that is even a...

Yeah, I could try that, I have an older Samsung TV, not sure what capability it has for HDMI input and Sound bar attachment. Ill have a look at that as a trial. Just been messing around with the Sound bar on the LG TV. The sound bar is definitely outputting the sound, and not the TV speaker. The...

I am sure the sound is coming from the Sound bar, As I said in my posting, if I turn the sound bar off using the Sound Bar controller then the sound turns off, I also can put my ear to the sound bar and the sound is emitted from the Bar. I also said in my posting, I am set up with the HDMI-ARC...

Sage and Breville are the same company and as such same machines. Armed with this I bought a Breville Mini Barista (from Curry's) which is similar to the Sage mini Barista but Breville £169 Sage £350 and they are basically the same machine from the same manufacturer. I am delighted with the...

I Have a Sharp HT-SBW182 Sound bar. I have fully set it up and all seems to work but the performance does not match what people are reporting. I have it connected to an LG 55" OLED TV which is only 1 year old. The Sound Bar is connected to the TV via the HDMI-ARC. The sound Bar is operating but...

Bought a New Mountfield 827H Sit on Lawn Mower. All worked on demonstration at delivery. Used for about 10 minuted, Stopped to empty Grass Collector, Restarted OK a couple of times, then refused to start with only the Solenoid pulling when trying to restart. Indicated the Battery was low on...

Re Driver Fred postings:- Sorry, I did not answer one of your questions regarding USB2 or USB3 and I think maybe that is the issue. My iMac is USB2, The SSD drive is stated as Product Interface USB 3.1 type-c (Gen 1) and the lead I am using is that supplied with the SSD so presumably a USB 3.1...

Tried Formatting to ExFat, no difference, I have no idea what apfs is or how to format to that, Thanks for your help.

I Will follow ALL of that up, Thanks so much for your help. I have also tried formatting the SSD to ExFat as suggested by Koolpc, and no difference. At the moment I suspect the SSD is the issue. Thanks again Fred

Hi Foxhole. Have a look at my reply to Diver Fred and see if you can make any sense of my Unknowledgeable Ramblings.

Hi Diver Fred, I use the term PC as a generic term for Personal Computer. I am very aware of the different Apple and Microsoft systems. I have reformatted the SSD several times with Mac OS Extended(journaled) and Mac OS Extended(Case Sensitive,Journaled) with the same inexplicable result. If you...

Decided to just manually transfer my Pictures folder to this SSD. It is downloading (I think) but at a ridiculously slow rate, 2.5GB taking about 20 minutes. I can download to a USB memory stick in a fraction of this time. So, as 'old duffer' has identified my accepted ignorance of PC...

Thanks old duffer, You are spot on with regards to my comprehension of how PC's work or are structured, I have 'used' Windows and iOS for word processing etc and internet access, my experience with computer is not at the PC level and how they function, but in Process Control and Distributed...
