Does this model have then 5.1 Dolby surround sound?

No, usually something as important as surround sound would be put in the description. I believe only 1 afterglow headset has surround sound, and it's settled at like, $240 or something

It does have 7.1 surround sound. For listening music I would get headphones without a microphone. This headset is more tuned for gaming it seems.

Yes. From the technical details: Built In Decoder: Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Digital, DTS decoder

I am not sure, depending on what audio outs are on the back of the set, but I don't think so. What you need on the back of the set is 5 seperate pos and neg speaker channels out (front R & L, front center, rear R & L, plus a subwoofer RCA out). You can check, but I think your TV audio outs will need to be run through an amplifier that supports dolby 5.1 for best effects.

yes 5.1 with optical which only occurs from the device you have connected it to. So for example, if you connect the soundbar to your tv, then you get digital sound from any media that your tv plays. If you then play your xbox you will not get digital, but it does give a good 5.1 representation. So for example, I use my TV as a media player for video playback and get 5.1 sound that way. FYI. Costco have great deal for thanksgiving on this, with $80 off. If I was you, I would get from there, then if you hate it you can always easily return. plus, check out the firmware version. There is an update out there that fixes some of the sound related issues. Firmware update is very simple. http://store.vizio.com/documents/downloads/accessories/S4251W-B4/s4251wb4-firmware-update-guide.pdf

Yes, you can do 5.1 as I currently do now. But the receiver can configure to run on 7.1 and even 7.2 speaker system.

No. This unit only has two output channels, left and right (stereo). '5.1' requires six channels, front: left & right, center, rear: left & right and subwoofer channel.

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.

Yes, but you will need two additional satellite speakers to get 7.1 surround. This system is 5.1.

Hi there, if you have your tv and movies also attached via digital or optical audio, you will get 5.1 surround on your system if it is broadcast in 5.1. If you want equal sound from all speakers, as 7.1 and 5.1 are quite discrete and are only truly noticeable when movement or something like a loud explosion occurs, then cycle through the audio options of the receiver until you find the mode that gives the sound you are looking for. I usually set my receiver to DVD direct and it will send sound as recorded on the DVD. If you want other modes, look in the manual under the different audio modes and pick the one you like best. I hope that helps a bit and doesn't add to the confusion. True HD, I believe is only sent over HDMI that carries both video and audio. I may be wrong, and digital or audio will do this also. I have had the pleasure of DTS experience through 7.1 and it is incredible. Haven't played with True HD yet. you may want to check out AVS forums for more understanding of HT.

Joseph, Most soundbars will support only stereo. But to answer the question more directly, audio from Apps (like Netflix) and signals from the digital tuner will be sent in 5.1. Other HDMI connection audio sources will go to stereo (which again, is good for audio bars anyway, since they often support 2.1). Thanks for your interest in Samsung products, and if you have more questions, please reach out. --Mr. S

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.

Strictly speaking, no, I don't think so... 5.1 requires 5 separate channels + sub... This will give clarity and some space to sound, but not a 5.1 surround effect.

Thanks for your question. Yes, the output does do Dolby Digital 5.1. This is a fantastic TV. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Sony dealer.

Andrew,Unless you have about $500 burning a hole in your pocket, I wouldn't be in a hurry to spend the money on a new receiver. The vast majority of the High Def audio soundtracks are 5.1 surround. Go to the store and look at the discs yourself. True HD and DT 5.1 proliferate. LPCM 7.1 is pretty scarce. So what happens when you input 5.1 soundtracks through your 7.1 setup. Certainly, the rear speakers are offering nothing that the surround speakers aren't delivering, unless you're switching to a non HD audio fomat, such as Pro Logic 2x.
