Can you plug in a surround sound, blue ray player and cable box and watch a blue ray movie with surround sound at the same time?

I don't think so. It sends only one of your input connections to the output.

That'll work. What I did since I have multiple things connected to my tv (gaming system, satellite, blue ray player), I have all these things connected to my tv via HDMI cable with the tv connected to the soundbar via optical cable; I get to utilize the soundbar for all my connections this way.

not really. it would be hard to find the jacks in the back to hook it up,and it would not give you the sound you want for surround sound.

I use the optical connection from my TV. So two other inputs are available, RCA type right and left and a minijack. So if your bluray can adapt to either of these two inputs, the answer is yes.

You can, but, You'll get stereo with RCA cables (2 channels), not 5.1 surround

You can but you will half to unwire all the other wire because since this product is a easy hook up you will half to hot wire some if those but I wouldn't recommend this blue Ray DVD player I don't like it and it didn't come with everything and 2 of my speakers did not work so I hocked all the speakers to my other surround sound

Yes, 1 HDMI & 1 optical, I looked. Internet content like Netflix & Sony rentals will play in Surround Sound, if the program was recorded in surround sound. It still plays otherwise, but you don't hear the speaker effects and not as loud.

Yes you can, however I have not used this feature, it's too cumbersome. I have mine attached to my main TV which is a LG Smart TV which already has streaming and is much easier to use. If I were doing it today I would buy a sound bar, and maybe a sub, CD's, DVD' and Blue Ray's are on the way out. My non smart TV I use a ROKU box, much easier to use.

yes you can. It has a pass thru features that enable you to do it. I can watch cable tv, dvd and ps3 even the receiver is turn off.

HDMI has both video and audio - if your TV has HDMI input and the Blue Ray has HDMI out - then you shouldn't need this box. Just conect the HDMI cable.

You can use RCA jacks to hook up to a tv, cd, aux. Even though its not surround sound, movies sound good though it!

All speakers will play for both, only true surround sound when plugged in TV... and i don't know what they are talking about, this system is wonderful! if you have any questions about it keep posting them, and i'll answer them. I have the system myself and i love it!

Does your cable box have an optical out? If so you might be able to use that as your output to the sound bar.

Yes you can play the A and B speakers at the same time. I play mine that way. You won't get the "surround sound" because it's a two channel stereo system. I have two speakers in the corner and the tv in the middle and two speakers in the other corner with the couch in the middle. Sounds good to me without all those wires needed for the surround system. Plus I'm not a fan of the sub-woofer systems. I have one for my computer but if I really want to hear good sound I will run the computer through the Marantz and ((((((B O O M)))))), music and movies are excellent!!!...

Um, yeah that's a good question. I'm not saying u can't do it bit Not aware of a way to make the device work w/o going through my surround sound either. Honestly, even though I bought the device, sadly I came across the same thing and ended up not using it. However, you might be able to run optical out of th cable box and try that way. I'm really sorry I'm not much help but understand the frustrations

I am also using HDMI but you can also. Use ROC jacks for sound from your DVD or blue ray to put sound straight to your surround sound system and then turn off the sound on the progecter

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
