Can this system be used as a surround sound for TV and blueray? If so, how is it connected?

Yes you can make it happen. It's a great little system for it's intended purpose. I use it with my HD computer. For a main surround system, get something better suited for that purpose.

I do believe so but the cords to the speakers are kinda short to teach a long ways

I don't see why it would not work. I think the speakers sound great although it is not surround. Use the RCA jacks to plug into the TV

If your TV, DVD, Blue Ray has a mini-plug audio outlet, I suppose it would be possible using the speaker's "aux in". However my experience with this tower is that the built-in TV speaker has better sound.

Yes, I do understand the concept. What I am saying is that, typically, older generation HDTVs will NOT be capable of splitting the HDMI audio through to the receiver. Instead, the receiver will be producing simulated surround sound. Yes, you will hear audio from all speakers, but no, it will not be true surround.

I hooked up a blueray dvd player and surround speakers to my receive and they work perfectly. there are 4 hdmi connections to connect your blueray/dvd player, a game player, sat/cable, and video. there is another hdmi that connects the sony to your tv.

I used an audio receiver with capable surround sound. Connected tv with digital audio cable. Bought a powered sub-woofer. Great sound. So happy with price vs performance.

I connected it directly to the tv. My my bluray player ran through my tv as well and therefore the bluray sound went to the surround system.

I used wired Samsung speakers that were part of my previous surround sound system because that's what I had available. I checked the manual and I believe that you can only use wired speakers for the additional surround speakers. The unit does not have Bluetooth capability. Hope this helps

Yes ---- This is NOT recommended as it would upset the built in arrangement. For best results use it as received. You will be surprised at the surround sound you will gwet. GOOD LUCK

Yes buy a receiver with multiple HDMI inputs. That way you can connect all your accessories (cable box, blu-ray player, game consoles, etc) directly to the receiver, which will be connected to the surround speakers.

You actually could, on most modern tv's there is an optical connection on the back. I actually do that with my headset, then you can use it for tv and movies if you please. If your tv dosen't then you could use a male to male red and white sound cable. You connect one end to your tv's sound out spot and into the back of the transmitter, but it wouldn't be surround sound. if you are to do that than you are spending extra money on a surround sound headset when you couldn't that features, but the headset might be able to simulate surround sounds; I don't know.

Dear Linda, as far as I know this cannot be connected as part of a surround sound set up, you or someone else may have. From what I've read you cannot connect this model to a sub woofer.The connection is done through the tv . If you should have a home surround sound and your two front speakers and the center are no longer working . You would be much better off with finding 2 front speakers and a center again. I don't think this bar can substitute for your needs. I am not by any means a tech guru. I do know some stuff by educating myself with the comment of others on consumer sites. I hope this helps by Bernard Dear Linda, as far as I know this cannot be connected as part of a surround sound set up, you or someone else may have.

It's hooked up via HDMI cable to a LCD flatscreen TV. We haven't been able to get the sound from regular TV programming to come through the surround sound speakers though. DVD/blueray/CD sound is okay through the surround sound.

I don't yet own this surround unit, but I think you have to purchase a separate HDMI cable. I purchased the wrong Panasonic Blue Ray player and found it didn't have the HDMI connection, so I returned it.

I suppose you could do that but I have a surround sound system and they are an excellent complement to it. Nice sound and I am very happy with them.

Your "cd system" may have multiple outputs. U can use a different output and go directly to the surround sound. Or you can get a splitter for the output off this block. Either way as long as you have the same connection type it should be simple.

Probably not. This is a bare wire system and is intended to be connected to a receiver's speaker outputs. It does not have any intermediate connection logic or processor unit. Speakers only. I paired mine with an onkyo 7.2 surround receiver on amazon for $249.99. You can then connect with HDMI or component cables from your TV to the receiver.
