My dad is 92 and cannot hear very well. I want this for him so that he can watch his regular movies and Blu Ray movies and maybe even listen to his CD's in different rooms of his house. This does not tell me if this is the item that would suit these...

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!

I am interested in knowing the same thing. My father wears hearing aids and still the tv is so loud you can't hear yourself think. I would like to know if I can sit in a room and watch the same program with him, have the tv at a normal level and have him be able to turn his headphones up so he can hear or does the tv itself have to be muted? No one mentions this information in the reviews.

the item you are referring to is ideal for calls and we can also listen music. However, it is not ideal to listen to movies.Thank you

I don't actually know but I think you need to just buy a turntable and amplifier and hook a CD player to your setup. I'm a granny too, but I think this is more state-of-the-art as it has an Ipod dock. I think you can find a better system for your needs.

I don't think so Keith. I bought it for my 90 year old father for his apartment. He hated it...it was SOOOOOOOOOOOO LOUD....and the flashing strobe too much for him....perhaps it may work if your warehouse isn't huge?

No. It's just a sound system. If you hook it up to a blu ray / DVD player that'd work

Honestly I wouldn't recommend this product. I tried it from a digital audio out to a sound bar and couldn't get it to work. Customer service is great but couldn't get device to work.

My father is 88 and used it in a nursing home for a while and now at home to watch movies. He enjoys it.

It doesn't play cd's and movie soundtrack cd's on the one I bought. I have it connected direct to my TV via HDMI cable. Course if it had a troubleshooting guide or users manual, that might help. Course I am over 55, so maybe a 5 year old could help. Plays movies ok.

My mother is 86 and about 80% deaf and blind in one eye. This device helps a little bit but only in very quiet situations, and, again, only a little bit. However, since the item is refundable, you might want to try it and return it if it does not work for her. Good luck.

I purchased one of these a couple of months ago and the sound is OK, nothing spectacular. You should be able to hear it though; so you may consider sending it back. Knowing that the sound volume isn't so great, I already had a small bluetooth speaker that I connected to this TV/DVD player and it soinds fantastic. I used a straight wire to hook up the external speaker because this player doesn't have bluetooth capabilities. You can purchase on of these speakers from Amazon at a very reasonable price, around $30. It is very small and will make a big difference in the sound performance.

I dont know, but I dont think so. The amplifier/receiver has very few inputs. They are of the old red/white/yellow analog type. What I have found is that this thing sounds real good when you have compatible media playing on it. I cant get it to work right from my TV or my Blue ray player, but if I play an old DVD thru the system itself, it sounds OK. Not very loud. I would look elsewhere, to be honest. Very limited compatibility, IMHO

Don't expect miracles, but I think it does improve the sound of movies, and my wife agrees. How much of an improvement depends on the quality of your existing TV speakers. I was impressed with the quality of YouTube music videos that we played as well. It's a waste of time watching movies that you can't properly hear, so I figured it was worth buying a high rated sound bar. It's a personal decision in the end.

I would think so. It is a bare bones player (no bells and whistles). Your old player probably has more ways to control the sound ( concert hall, jazz club, etc.) It has a remote, but no volume on the remote. I have had excellent results, trouble free. I've had it for a couple of years.

Wish I could help ,this was a gift for a 90 year old man .His problem it needed a exterior speaker to hear without hearing aids .he liked it because all was contained.No MP3 discs needed.

They take a stereo input, so if your blu ray player has a step output it will work. However, nor that the speakers are analogue and stereo. You will not get surround sound.

Not being an audiophile, I don't have a clue even what your question is. My husband and I both have hearing problems but we need different volumes to watch TV. This gizmo has four plug-ins, each with independent volume controls, so it works for us.
