Yes arms and legs can be used separately, or together. The machine is very quiet and comfortable.

#1 - Yes, but only by not putting feet in the stir ups or not using the upper body cycle.#2 - Very, Very quite. We watch TV also.#3 - It is comfortable for us (5'11" and 5'0"). We are only using for the upper body cycle (we already had an exercise bike, and I don't like recumbent bikes).

1. The arms and legs will both turn together when either are used, but can be used separately if you keep your arms/legs out of the way. There is good clearance to do this, and I do use one or the other just as much as together. 2. Not loud at all (My huffing and puffing at first were louder than the unit! :-) 3. The seat is adjustable and I find it VERY comfortable, but I am 6'2", so not real sure about how well it might fit someone 4'10".

1. You can use them separately, however the one not in use still rotates. In my Physical Therapy I have to use the hands only and while I don't use the pedals they still spin. 2. The unit is not loud. You can watch TV - I usually listen to music with headphones. 3. I am 5'4" and my husband is 6' and we can both use the bike. Nice wide seat. The seat can be re-positioned. I really love the bike.

1. The arms and legs rotate together but you can certainly take your arms or legs off. I use it only for arms.2. Pretty quiet I think. I listen to TV when I'm on it.3. I'm 5'10" and I push the seat back a bit. Not sure about 4'10". The seat does not adjust up or down, only front to back. The arms won't be a problem but the legs may be a reach.

Hello. I have it in a similar sized room and on the merits of performance, no, it is appropriate and works well. The only gripe/issue I have overall is this center channel speaker is MUCH larger than I anticipated. You need to match it above a TV no smaller than 65"; It needs to be mounted above the TV or if your TV itself is mounted, ensure you have ample room beneath your TV. In general it isn't as eye-appealing as I would have imagined but in terms of performance, I have mine set with Yamaha 7.1 entertainment system and it is clean and crisp for a center channel! Hope that helps!

I have a 55" Sharp Aquos on it and it worked out far better than I could have hoped for. The instructions say no more than a 20" TV and up to 60 pounds. I am quite certain they say that for liability reasons. My 55" is 47 pounds and it is quite sturdy on this table. My only concern would be if you have small children, or toddlers. You would better off mounting your television to the wall for their safety. My brand new 55" Television has an odd base with no swivel. Worse my sound bar was not only blocking the infrared remote, but was also blocking the bottom few inches of the screen. This table solved all my problems.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I work nights and sleep most of the day. Mine sits outside about 15' away from the house and while inside watching tv, you can here it but not loud enough to need to turn up the tv. I have a PVC fence, so the sound does carry a bit more for others but not enough to interfere with their going ons. I kind of like hearing the little noise I get from it, so I also know which of my appliances is giving it a load when it ramps up.

I love mine. The volume is pretty good and quite clear--better than giant flatscreens with Clearvoice. There is a jack for headphones which I never use, but I sit pretty close to mine. I sit on chaise lounge & put DVD player on tabletop. The volume isn't very very loud so you may want to splurge and get the next level that is Internet ready & Bluetooth enabled so you can hook up to speakers by wireless. I don't think there's Bluetooth on this model. But I love mine!

The machine itself is quiet overall. I use it on the 2nd level of my home and the living room is directly below me so I use a mat underneath and it absorbs most of the noise. Ocassionally my kids say they hear it but don't when the TV is on loud enough. I'd suggest placing a treadmill mat underneath if you live in an older apartment. The machine has a small footprint so it can be used in a number of places but may need 2 people to move it around or get it upstairs so hopefully you have an elevator. Good Luck!

My roomate knows all of specs. It's a solid machine though. It's noisy at times, but keep it on low while you have guests and/or watching TV. Auto while out of the house/apartment.

The speakers are inevitably tiny. You could either get a surround sound that is optic fibre capable, or adjust your sound to "good enough". Let me give you a run down of how audio works on the tv. Treble is your high notes, bass is your low notes, and mids is more highs for this certain tv. There is an option for bass boost, you will want that. One of the things I'm glad i did(i live alone) is buy a wireless headset. Razer, or turtle beach makes a very...very nice set. They are 100$+ because its a 7.1 surround wrapped around your head. So if you watch tv alone, its worth getting. Other than that, with the adjustments i explained to you, have at it. If you need anymore assistance let me know! :)

Yup! I have mine inside our ~900 sq ft condo in the dining room that joins with the living room. It has a few speed settings and I typically have it on the lowest for the AC setting, and I can easily hear our tv (which is roughly 20-30 feet away). Plus the remote/digital display is portable so you can bring to the couch with you and turn it off or turn down the speed via the remote if too loud. it's not a super quiet AC unit but it definitely is not annoyingly loud, either.

The sound does not go extremely loud. You didn't do anything wrong installing it. I think that is the loudest that this model TV can go. I tried raising the sound with the cable system but that didn't do anything either. I think that it is at a comfortable setting but if you have a loud appliance you might have trouble hearing it over the noise. Quite happy with the tv.

Kathi, It has enough volume to fill a large living room. You could use it in a large gym if you sat 10 feet away. You can use any size TV screen you want, as long as it has an optical output to the YAS. Most new TVs have that output. I'm using it with a 40" flat screen. I had to take the feet off the YAS so it wouldn't hide the bottom of the screen. I chose to do that instead of putting the TV on a block of wood. If your TV screen is on a wall, you can mount the YAS below it on the wall also. Best Buy carries the YAS. You can go there and listen to it to see if it will work for you. I chose to buy it from amazon.com because it was free shipping and no tax. Ron Kathi, It has enough volume to fill a large living room. You could use it in a large gym if you sat 10 feet away.

The volume is excellent and you can make it too loud. I put it on my left side and my wife has normal hearing and sits to the right of me and likes it because the sound is not too loud. We keep the sound down on the tv.

We keep ours about 2 feet away from the TV and it does not bother us; I might notice it when it is at its highest setting, but it doesn't disturb me, and I'm a person who dislikes noise. It makes a wind like noise, somewhat like a fan, but somehow less bothersome. Perhaps I just hear the "air flow" noise, not motor noise. This unit has different settings -- you can pick from any one of three flow levels, or let the machine pick the setting based on current air quality. So, if you find the higher settings too loud for you, you can put it on a lower setting. Wish I had a decibel reader so I could be more specific, but, alas, I do not.

You can hear the air move around your feet when peddling... it's really that quiet. I keep mine in the dining room and watch TV from the other room. I make a deal with myself, no TV until I work out, so I put on my favorite show and an hour later I don't even realize I just worked up a sweat. I wouldn't trade this thing for any piece of equipment.

Just set mine up. I do have a home theater system, so it isn't an issue with me. But I am also not impressed with the sound from the tv. You certainly should be able to hear it over other noise, even though it could be louder.

Is quiet enough. I usually used it while I watch TV and there is no problem at all.
