Is it surround sound when listening to music or watching TV? Or does the surround sound effect just work with DVDs?

Its an OK system I bought it as a gift for my parents because their speakers where out on their TV set. That being said it works for them but I will just warn that it is not a new high tech system, the wires are not what I would consider speaker grade and short, And if you have a new TV it may or may not have the right wires for you. For my personal TV I bought a Visio sound bar with subwoofer for about $200 2 years ago and still love it today!

You can play sound from all speakers at any time, but will only be true surround sound if the device your playing from is capable.

between the Theater Solutions TS511 5.1 surround sound, VS the Acousitc Audio AA5104 Acoustic Audio AA5104 600 Watt 5.1 Home Theater Surround Sound Speaker System which one is better?

It depends on where the sound comes from. If from the DVD it will work fine. It is everything you would hope for.

The sound bar is a completely independent speaker system controlled by a seperate remote. When connected to your tv using the supplied optical cord your surround sound will still function normally as wiill the built in tv speakers

I have not hear the difference with surround on and off yet. It sound pretty well with movies, I connected the bar to my PS3 and stream Netflix movies and is really good. I used to have a full home theater system and this is a good replacement.

I have not had an issue with sound with the unit. I guess it depends on what you are trying to achieve for sound. I think the unit is a bit slow for response is my biggest concern. Otherwise I just use it to play L&H; classic films. Because it was much cheaper to buy the region 2 library disc set than it was for ntsc by about 200.00.

Since no one else has answered this, I'll give it a shot. I'm not really sure, but I don't think you would get sound if you hook up a DVD player or a cable box to this monitor, even if you are using an HDMI cable. Also, I don't know if there would be any way to adjust the screen size and resolution to get the best picture out of the monitor. There may be workarounds for both, but I've never tried it.

If you hook your computer up to your TV and the surround sound is hooked up to your TV then surround sound will work.

Depending on your Home Theater system, you will probably need to connect a digital coxial cable or a fiber optic cable from your cable box to your dvd/receiver. When you select the aux input on the dvd/receiver, you will get surround sound from your system from your cable box.

Mine works fine with the Samsung TV, I am unable to get sound from the DVD player through the TV when watching movies. I am hooking up the optical cable to see it that resolves the issue

The audio is OK. This is a kitchen TV and therefore, I mostly watch news or talk shows, no action or music where sound would count. I have a great surround sound in my main living area, and that is where I will watch a movie or regular show. I did have to make some adjustments to the sound, I think the default settings made it sound tinny. But like I said the sound is OK, maybe a B- rating.

I can't speak to "high pitch"; when I have a DVD playing, the sound is just not great overall, has to be turned way up. Adjusting the settings to "movie" doesn't help a whole lot. A case of getting what you pay for, I guess; external speakers might help?

I forgot I posted this. We noticed that it is significantly less loud when playing a dvd vs a blu ray. Trying to decide if we should return it and get a different one or not. So if anyone has this please let me know is you BR player loud?

This unit has numerous 5.1 surround options especially DolbyTrueHD and DTS. Of course your DVD player must also have DolbyTrueHD and DTS capability. Excellent choice.

The sound system runs through the TV, so any peripherals will have surround sound. Just make sure you have enough HDMI ports

I may be wrong, but it seems to me that the audio output is not controlled by the volume setting on the TV. I use the volume on the external receiver/amplifier. I have big speakers, so I set the sound on the TV to Mute and just use the big sound. I should add, I do this for Movies, I do not watch regular TV. It is pretty awesome for movies. I have 4 12" and 4 10" woofers, then mids, tweeters, and horns. So it is quite engulfing. Car races and airplanes have the sound going across the room. Makes one feel like they are in the middle of it. On another note, another person has color setting up on the comments, and I went in and set mine to these values, and wow, what a beautiful picture.
