Do movies with 7.1 audio sound good on it? Do blu-ray movies in general sound good on it?

The surround modes are fully customizable for whatever source is inputted. There are four surround modes to suit your taste depending on source and room acoustics.

Well, it obviously doesn't have any idea whether a particular movie is BluRay or not. If the audio, whether DVD, BluRay or Satellite/Cable, is good, then yes it sounds excellent. It doesn't understand 7.1 audio. It wouldn't make sense for it to, since it is a single soundbar. So, you're not going to hear sounds 'behind' you, as with standalone speakers. I am quite please with the overall audio quality and the simulated DTS soundfield is quite impressive. Also, the bass from this is really amazing considering there is not subwoofer.

I've learned not to mess with it. I would just stick with standard because it still looks great, then I use "game mode" for games which automatically moves it to standard, and does some other things to enhance processing and sound. I haven't played around with the modes since, but I may go back and do the Pixar settings test they have on their Blu-Ray movies to modify standard a bit for more contrast...

It has good sound quality, put you do not get an entire screen viewing. I have tried everything, Blue Ray is only in a captioned or shown as a cinema view. I would not recommend this unit.

Sound quality is actually pretty good. I watch movies on mine all the time, and I would recommend this product.

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.

You want to use a in-house speaker system for sound. The sound is just ok, a little tinty and on the high side for the TV itself. I run everything through a Sony STR-DN1040. There is and advantage to my setup, the STR-DN1040 does upscale to 2160 at 30HZ (4K) which this TV can display. . So any blu-ray I run that was recorded at 24hz will upscale to that 4K.I get a great picture. True 4k is supposed to be 2160 a 60HZ, but I have not seen any issues with mine.

Does anybody have any insight for how this performs with documentaries? I read one really insistent review that bashes the LG BD370 performance with 1080i, but I'd like to hear if anybody has practical experience. Most of my Blu Ray discs are BBC documentaries, so if it looks horrid, I'd like to know. How does it compare to standard dvds? Thanks!

I watch movies with them all the time. They are very loud if that's what youre looking for. They will fill the room with sound and you wont be disappointed, but it will never pack the low end boom you would get from a 7-channel, and of course this isnt surround sound.

The volume is great. Can be too loud when it's on the back of your headrest. I don't think you will have a problems hearing your movies.

They are not true "surround sound" headphones. That's just marketing jargon. What they do have is very good stereo imaging. Very clean sounding with tons of clear (not muddy or boomy) bass. So yes, they would be good for movies, just don't expect a 5.1 effect.

Dear Peter,Thanks for your inquiry. Since there are no 4K or UHD discs available, the Blu-ray player itself does not upscale. There are however, many audio receivers that do upscaling and perhaps that is what you are asking. Hope that makes things clearer for you.Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo

The only thing that plays 7.1 is on a surround sound that has 7 speakers and a sub box. These are a great pair of headphones and I have mine hooked up to my TV with a fiber optic cable. Then it is Bluetooth from the box to my headphones. I have had mine for about three years now, and my wife loves that I have them. I also use them to talk on my smartphone sometimes. The only thing I suggest is some rechargeable batteries.

My request is similar. Not a lot of videos, mostly music composes my collection. Does a classic have good sound quality?

Bits are bits. The picture quality is going to be identical, as is the sound. My advice is to disable all of the picture & sound enhancement features as they tend to make things look worse; the best way to view and hear a movie is how the director, producer, sound mixer, and rest of the film crew intended it.

Thanks for the info. That was exactly the type of information I was looking for. I don't think the audio will make a difference to me. I'm very new to the HD community and by the time I get around to surround sound, something else will be out there. I read your review of the 570; very good review, nice and detailed. (I was thinking that if I decided on the 570, I might just add a few more dollars and get a PS3. It's the only bluray player I've actually used.) I was glad to read that you liked the upconversion. I've got too many DVDs and want to make sure my bluray player will do a good job on those. Again, thanks. Thanks for the info. That was exactly the type of information I was looking for.

Really a matter of personal preference. If audio is a big consideration for you when watching movies and shows, you might want to give it some thought. I've been content with the sound from the tv personally, particularly at this price point, but with our neighbor's bedroom being positioned above our living room, we're not really pushing it all that much.

Doesnt have 7.1, but it has good sound quality. I'm not an audiophile, but it sounds good to me.
