The Qinlianf surge protector you talk about in this video, Audioholics recommended it a few years ago. It's WAY cheaper on Amazon. $10 to $15 rather than $35. Comes in white or black. I have 2 myself. But yeah, Walmart is a rip off on this product. I'd put an Amazon link in the description of this video. Love this video series by the way. 👍
FYI turning off HDMI-CEC on my Samsung S90C ALSO turns off the eARC/ARC function. So with CEC off no audio goes to the connected audio device thru the HDMI eARC/ARC cable.
About the AVR upgrades, the Oberon 7 is very particular about placement and toe-in (check NRD's review and conversations with Dali). Also, with Audyssey use pillows to hold up the mic, I used a mic stand and it produced vastly different results.
Fun episode! What were those little black things you plug in the wall that have usba and usbc plugs as well as electric connections? Look really handy! What is the brand and name of them?

The struggle is real! I’m looking to scrap my old paradigm cinema series 5.1 being pushed by a 7 year old Yamaha RX-A750. Do I go the sound bar/Sony Quad route? Or new bookshelves with a $1,500’sh dollar receiver 😮💨. And yes, my room isn’t conducive with couch against the wall lol
I have a similar problem with some old pieces of equipment (my Sony minidisc deck for one) where they just randomly turn themselves on. To work around the issue I installed inexpensive smart plugs on these so the power is literally cut when I'm not using the device. Perhaps this could be a solution for the individual experiencing the issue with the soundbar. It would be one extra step to turn it on, but wouldn't necessitate giving up all the CEC features.
Dolby Prologic II is superior to Dolby Surround and it's a tragedy that it's nowhere to be found any longer, but hey, at least Dolby doesn't have to pay Jim Fosgate any royalties!
