5.1? Does anyone know if these support 5.1 for watching movies with a receiver?

The definition of 5.1 is five satellite speakers and 1 subwoofer. If you will take note these headphones have 2 sides. It does not support Dolby Digital 5.1. HOWEVER, you can use a sound card or amplifier to combine the 5.1 sound to headphones. These cans sound superb when used with music of all genre. If you want them to watch movies, I suggest you look elsewhere. These have a very detailed sound, but movies usually call for very high points and very low rumbling bass.

If you have a Surround receiver such as Yamaha that outputs simulated 5.1 to headphones yes but it depends on if your receiver supports surround soundstages to headphones.

Huntington Thomas Daly, The output will support 5.1 with only the digital TV tuner. For 5.1 audio, you'll want to connect a digital optical audio cable to the source box (Cable/Satellite box, game console, etc) and run that directly to the audio bar. Many audio bars (at least the bar+sub combo) support 2.1, and that would be supported with all devices from the TV. Your DTV tuner will be converted from 5.1 to stereo in that case. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

Thanks, I ordered the cables but now I'm not sure how to hook it up to my 6.1 Sony receiver. All the rear jack labels match but I have one conflict:The Sony DVD has 2 surround back but my receiver has one. I am currently using the receiver to mix the extra info to the rear (5.1) as I don't have any physical back speakers. If I set the DVD player to 5.1 & omit the cable, will I lose any info? I know it sounds confusing but I just want to make sure the player will send the info to the available speakers.

There is a thread on avsforum that has all the info. Just search for this TV set. I believe it said that the built-in apps generate 5.1, but it will not pass-through 5.1 from say a bluray player or chromecast

My sound bar, the Vizio 5.1 wireless system indicates that 5.1 dolby digital when connected via optical to the tv's optical out. It only does this when the source on the TV is 5.1 in OTA programming or using the in TV smart applications. Its does not provide 5.1 passthrough with my HDMI cable to my set top box or my PS3. Those had to be hooked up directly to the soundbar to get 5.1 sound. However if you have a soundbar that will upmix 2 ch PCM it will pass that signal through HDMI and try its best to make it "surround"

I think I have the answer. See this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_surround and take note of the "reflected speaker" patent. That said, I get these today, I do have a 5.1 surround sound system .. and I will know how well they virtualize the surround sound. :)

I have mine hooked up to my 5.1 surround sound with the optical wire and it works good.

I use my two as rear left and right channels for my 5.1 system. They work great. Mine are not wireless (nor bluetooth) unless that was a recent modification.

first check if your speakers have an input digital for the cable because the sound card have an output digital (the digital cable comes with it) if not then you need the Digital to Analog Audio Decoder Converter - Transfer the DTS/AC-3 Digital Signal and Stereo(R/L) Audio Signal into 5.1 Analog Output, i had the same problem with this device my 5.1 speakers got the digital dolby surround sound, also i needed to configure on the system (program) the 5.1 channels (speakers) also the digital sound and i choose the dolby system. good luck

Yes...Very frustrating..I can get sound with Stereo, but not 5.1...Really makes the HD feeds useless...

You can use this player with your 5.1 receiver. You need to go into the player's audio setup menu and set the surround back channel to "None." The player will then only output to the 5.1 analogs (just leave the surround back analog connectors unused). This is what am doing.

I have the Polk 6750s, a PS3 and an Onkyo 606. The receiver and PS3 are 7.1 capable, but I just don't think 7.1 is necessary. I mean, with 5.1 you have two in front and two in back, so you're getting surround. And there's also the concern about the running the additional cables. Perhaps in a room much larger than mine it would be worth it, but since there just aren't that many movies that take advantage of 7.1 (even though many games do), I personally don't plan on making the upgrade any time soon. I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it though.I love the Polk 6750 system. Great size/sound ratio, not to mention the killer price. But I saw them somewhere else (hint: egg) for $179.99.

We use a Roku box to stream content from netflix, amazon, etc. Works a charm. We also rigged a small, cheap (but very clean) amp and some good passive speakers ... No need for 5.1, so we're very happy with the stereo sound.

There is one audio output on the projector- a 3.5mm headphone jack. This will work for stereo, but may not be the best for a full 5.1 system.I ended up getting an HDMI -> HDMI / Optical audio extractor (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KBHX072/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_2?pf_rd_p=1944687782&pf;_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf;_rd_t=201&pf;_rd_i=B005COKXCO&pf;_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf;_rd_r=194PA6VV2MQ8HM2YAQRM) to accomplish your goal.

Optical can not accept a 5.1 signal. It will downscale it to 2 channels. Your receiver will then split the signal to simulate 5.1 sound. You will need a HDMI cable in to get 5.1. Get an HDMI cable and hook it up like this PS3--&gt;Receiver--&gt;Television Look for a reciever that can pass a 1080p signal.

Turning surround 5.1 to stereo work great. I run my TV audio to my stereo receiver as an option for movies or sports anyway so I didn't notice any difference
