Can this control the audio for surround system when in cable mode, or do you have to switch to DVD mode

There is an audio/aux mode. My only complaint about the remote is there is no "sleep" timer button. Works great great value

I run the cable/dvd player straight into the receiver and my receiver will output to the tv and can use the tv sound system as opposed to the receiver. If I want to use the receiver for better quality sound, I just turn it on...

Im not 100% sure that this system will allow you to use it with your T.V. Audio output , the system isnt mine its my fathers , However I just asked him if you can ise you T.V. Audio out and he said yes but he hasnt figured out exactly how to do it . There are R.C.A. Audio output's on the dvd counsel so there is a way . It will just take some Audio kmowledge to figure it out Sorry if this didnt help... but now that the question has been asked we ate gonne figure it out . feel free to ask again in a couple of days we should have it figured out by then.

I had the same issue. It's preset for surround sound. If you change the # of speakers in output you will get sound. It's in the manual. (You can also google the manual)

I've had the unit for several years with no problems. However, when you switch functions from TV/ Cable to DVD it automatically switches the audio source for you. But, when you switch back, you have to manually reset the Function to TV / Cable. Hope that's all your problem is.

I have installed this device on my led setup and there does not appear to be any remote control functions for audio. To the best of my knowledge this unit only controls brightness and color patterns. The physical inline unit would require some type of wired input for the audio signal.......which this unit does not have.

You have to manually set what surround setting you want, it does not automatically detect it. I think that's what you were asking and I hope it helps.

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.

Kevin is right. But as an option I ran the HDMI from DVD to receiver with HDMI pass through feature. Receiver extracted audio from HDMI and converter handles video. This way I got surround. I didn't use the stereo only audio out of the converter.

It works when it wants to even when setup properly. Running Win 8.1 you have to manually select the audio configuration of each device, and set this one as the default for audio input and output when you want to use it. However, it still doesn't always work or doesn't switch back to my amp when I want to use my surround sound afterwards.

probably not unless your surround sound system uses ethernet. Depending on your system, you may want an Optical cable, or HDMI

I have found this to be a problem only with certain movies. However for them, if I switch from Dolby 5+1 to Stereo on this switch, then the voices return but just not in surround mode. I will admit it is pretty annoying. I first noticed this problem with Night at the Museum on BD and thought it was a connection problem. Since then, I have had it with several others too. To work around it and get the surround sound on movies, I move the Coax or Optical cable from the switcher directly to the specific player that I am using and then it works fine. I am running the switch's HDMI out to my projector and the audio Coax/Optical output from the switcher to my home theater sound system. I have not verified if the audio is being correctly sent to the HDMI output for use on a TV with its own sound, but I assume it is.

TV Ears normally hooked to the cable box and the sound coming from the DVD isn't wired through that box. Actually sound can be heard even after the TV is turned off if the modem box is still on. Might try plugging the sound cords into the back of the DVD box in the audio out.

I'm can't answer that. I installed this because my older 5.1 surround sound system has only analog inputs - one for each speaker. Placing this between the dvd player (coaxial out) and the older 5.1 system did give me surround sound. However, it appears it is no longer working. Straight from China and built to last only so long.

If your surround sound system has an Optical or Coaxial Digital Sound input, the answer is yes . . . . .

Diable, not sure But there is an option , under VIERA Link Settings in the menu, that let's you select "Default speakers" you can select between TV or "THEATER"(external)

No. The coaxial output is only digital audio. All the video goes out the HDMI output. I have found that some video sources only send the 5.1 Dolby audio out the HDMI (or possibly the optical output) unless it is changed to 2 channel stereo. For example, I have a Blue Ray video and playing it on my Sony BD player, only the background audio that is not in the selected language goes out the Coax port. The language audio (i.e. all the talking) goes mute unless I change this switcher into 2 channel stereo mode. Then the audio comes out the coax. Without doing this, the only audio heard is the sound effects like shoes walking, engine noises, etc. with no talking. I don't like that. I lose the 5.1 Dolby Surround for these videos.
