In addition to the TV, I have a blue ray, will this sound bar play cd's and dvd'a along with tv

If the TV plays the sound from the DVD's and the CD's then it should. TV must have an audio out either RCA or Optical.

Yes, unless you plug the CD output directly to the speakers. They have a volume control, but I've never used it since my TV has variable output.

Hello B.E. Murphy,This surround sound bar plays through your television's audio output so anything you play on your TV will be heard in the surround sound including blu-ray players and gaming consoles. Thanks for your interest!

As for the DVD player it works very well, as does the CD player. If you are working with more speakers it should sound great.

Yes it plays music CD's and with the sound button on the remote you will get various options for sound quality.

You need a stereo receiver. Amazon has a number of them for sale for under $200. I would go with a Yamaha or a Sherwood. If music sound is what you mainly want, I strongly suggest you integrate your receiver and speakers into your tv system - there are any number of ways to do that. That way you can hear your tv AND music through the speakers, by using your dvd/bluray to play your music. Also, if you upload your cd's into ITunes (make sure you edit your "preferences" to MP3), you can then burn mp3 cd's in data format to play in your dvd player. Those cd's will give you a great sound and over 10 hours of continuous music. Then you can ditch the Sony cd player, which will only play one audio cd at a time. You need a stereo receiver.

Probably. It is an amp......what goes in will get boosted at the outputs. A lot depends on the soundbar amps gain level at the inputs you described. The odds are in your favor. Try both the CD and the TV inputs. I bet they will have different gain levels.

Would this soundbar work with pandora and or Netflix hooked up to a Sony DVD and a 65" Mitsubishi projection TV.

There is an optical output in the TV , the optical input from sound bar should be connected to the optical output of the TV. I am not sure if this will work with other TV. I think if there is an optical output, it may work.

Yes, you can connect a DVD or CD player directly to this soundbar without having to go through your television.

If I understand the question you will have multiple devices hooked up to your TV via HDMI and you will use an optical audio cable to connect to the sound bar to play sound from the TV. Yes, the sound will play fine. I have the same set-up for mine. You just need to make sure the "function" is switched to "optical" on the sound bar to have it work.

it plays both, TV is very good. DVD player is not that great. the quality of blue ray player is bad. Excellent TV.

Yes it does. It plays CD's and DVD's. I've had mine for 4 to 5 months now and it's great!

If the cable box and DVD player have Optical Audio outputs, then yes you can. I have 2 game consoles with that output that connect with this splitter and then run to the soundbar. You need to make sure that both devices aren't sending a signal at the same time though. Otherwise your sound will come out distorted and garbled. You can tell this by connecting an optical audio cable to the devices and looking for a red light in the end of the cable.

Probably not. The speaker only reproduces what the TV is doing. You could try your audio settings on the TV to see if a different setting works with the newer DVDs.

As long as your receiver has a digital optical out if not I'm sure your receiver has auxillary outs in which case the sound bar also has av in on it ( the red and white plugs)

YES. You can play a DVD or CD on the Samsung unit while watching TV, you just will NOT be able to get any sound from the TV broadcast while listening to the CD. No problem in what you are trying to do whatsoever with this Home Theater System. Hope this helps?

Yes it should. You'd run HDMI from your cable or satellite box to your TV. Then you'd use the optical cable from either your TV or cable/satellite box to your sound bar.

It should as with any other... your TV needs to have either RCA out puts (red, yellow, white) or an optical out put (square looking plug) and those should output anything thats on the TV to the surround system. The HDMI hook up is for watching DVD's in the drive from the surround sound system, and thats why the sounds is from the DVD's only.
