Does this product support SRS Trusurround XT? Secondly, is the output virtual surround sound? Thanks!

From the user manual: "1.1 Features 1. Convert DTS/AC3 source digital audio to analog 2.0 ch stereo audio output" -- The device does this quite well, although I did have to trim back the sampling rate of the optical output on my computer a bit to avoid some distortion. However it sounds like this is not what you are looking for. What you want would be probably be a true decoder, which means plenty of $$$$

I have not had any issues with the device; and, it sounds great with the speakers and sub-woofer I have connected to it. I live in an apartment so I don't get to use it to it's full potential often, but there have been a few times I cranked it up to see what it can really do, and it did not disappointed. Sure a large factor when it comes to the quality of sound has to do with the speakers that are attached, but music and movies come in crisp. All of my devices (except for Ethernet) are attached via HDMI. The HDMI pass-through works great with no loss in quality, even when the device is turned off. Having the ability to attached all of the devices to the reliever and then only have one HDMI running up to the TV makes it much easier to have a clean-looking cable setup running out of the TV. **NOTEs** 1) I'm not a fan of 3D at home, so I cannot tell you how well the HDMI pass-through would handle the increased data requirements of 3D. 2) I live in an apartment which is not set up well when it comes to using the 2nd zone option on the receiver, so I cannot speak to how well that function works.

Hi Tom,I've done everything you said and that I can think of and still no dice. So I'm done trying to figure it out. I used to get pretty good surround from the the TV programs that are broadcast HD 5.1 but it seems to be gone also. I have to say that the despite all this, it does sound pretty good if stereo is what I was going for. Thanks for all your help. I really appreciate it.Take care,Dennis

I'm sure it supports any system, just connect any right and left channels from your system to the sender unit, and connect the crrosponding speakers to the receiver unit, that's all, and the sound quality is almost perfect.

No it does not have virtual surround sound and it does not have HDMI or USB. It is more of a whole home audio receiver with 2 zones that are independent of each other. I connect my USB devices through a 3.5mm to RCA audio cable.

I've got an identical setup (but a blue ray instead of XBox) and it works. There should be a setting on your home theater system that would allow to transmit sound to rear speakers. I have a Sony 5.1 surround system and I have to press "Sound Field" several times until I find the correct setting... Hope this helps - you can email me at mplavnik@gsb.uchicago.edu for additional questions.

This has "sound virtualizer" which seems to be pretty much the same as Phillips' Increadible Surround. It only has on or off. No varying the level of Increadible Surround. There are also preset EQs as well as separate bass and treble controls. This thing sounds great on mids and highs. Lows are a bit rolled off but for the size it does ok. Has dual ports in the back so if you put it in a corner or near a wall you'll get more output. I was looking for a unit with "Increadible Surround" but settled on this one. If it had a seperate sub it would be perfect. Still better than most. Gets pretty loud if you want it to without a lot of distortion.

Dude, it works well but you should give the speaker a better receiver:Marantz SR5008 7.2-Channel 1080P and 4K Ultra HD Pass Through, Networking Home Theater Receiver with AirPlay (Discontinued by Manufacturer)Whats your front speaker?

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)

Nope, as long as you get the XTD version, it comes with an external sound card. I highly recommend this headset if you have the dough for it. It's super comfy and sounds insane.

B. Marshall, We hope the following will provide you with the information you are looking for. If not, please let us know. Output: We are presuming you mean Audio / Video output. The system supports up to 8 channel audio output. For video, the system ships with both a standard VGA (DB-15) port and an HDMI port. Input: The system ships with a standard, wired, USB keyboard and optical scroll mouse. Modem: The system ships with both wired and wireless networking capabilities, so if you are using a broadband modem connection should be easy. If you are looking for a traditional phone line modem, although the system does not ship with one, it does have an available PCI-e X1 slot, should you wish to install such a modem or other device. We hope the above has been helpful.

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 have JRiver Media Center and with latest drivers and compatible outputs, I was able to bitsteam 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio from a Zotac GPU. I believe it is the Intel CPU that decodes the DTS-HD MA signal. I must say that there is a significant improvement in the sound across all audio sources over the hardware that I had before.

Can confirm that it works, using it this way right now. I hadn't been using the monitor jack just assuming that it'd mean I couldn't hear system audio without going through external speakers and I didn't want that. I actually came looking for windscreen options (besides the old sock missing it's other half I've got now) and came across this question/answer so I opened up the playback device properties and set the USB microphone speakers as default. Works like a charm.

Mine Does support audio. I have an SDI from a Blackmagic ATEM into this device outputting HDMI to an Atomos Ninja Blade- Audio works great over HDMI

The xra 2 is a stereo Amplifier not a surround sound amp. I think you need a different Amp for your situation. Your Pre Amp may tell you in the instructions. But this unit is for high end stereo.D.S.
