Can the Amazon Prime movies and Netflix get Dolby surround 5.1 if connected to a Dolby 5.1 receiver?

I don't know, but I feel I need some additional sound system since much of the voice, etc., is washed out. Any suggestions?

If you have a Surround receiver such as Yamaha that outputs simulated 5.1 to headphones yes but it depends on if your receiver supports surround soundstages to headphones.

Your cable box will only provide up to 5.1 dolby digital output depending on the type of connection (either optical or HDMI), if you are using an analog L-R connection you will only get stereo. Depending on the age of your blu-ray player it may or may not pass DTS-HD Master Audio over HDMI. You will need to read the owners manual of your blu-ray player to see if it will pass DTS HD, if so you will need to set the audio settings in the player to send it to the receiver to decode. If your blu-ray player will not pass DTS-HD over HDMI but will decode DTS-HD Master Audio internally you can set the player to output PCM via HDMI, in that case it will only show up on the display of the receiver as PCM but will in fact be DTS HD.

Hi there,You can definitely play Netflix without upgrade. Haven't tried the Amazon Prime video though. To upgrade it, you will have to download the new firmware at the Tronsmart official website (http://www.tronsmart.com/download - you can find instruction on how to do that here as well).Hope that helps.

There is a thread on avsforum that has all the info. Just search for this TV set. I believe it said that the built-in apps generate 5.1, but it will not pass-through 5.1 from say a bluray player or chromecast

I have mine hooked up to my 5.1 surround sound with the optical wire and it works good.

Not sure what you mean by True Dolby. In my set up my Yamaha receiver only supports 2 Toslink inputs and I needed to support 3 devices. Currently have my Xbox One, PS4 and 360 converging at this point and outputting to my receiver through a single line. My receiver recognizes all devices as having 5.1 surround. Recognizes DTS and Dolby through the switch.

I am not sure, depending on what audio outs are on the back of the set, but I don't think so. What you need on the back of the set is 5 seperate pos and neg speaker channels out (front R & L, front center, rear R & L, plus a subwoofer RCA out). You can check, but I think your TV audio outs will need to be run through an amplifier that supports dolby 5.1 for best effects.

Hey there. This system does not decode Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-HD, or Dolby TrueHD from your HDMI cable, true. However, in order to make a great system that was affordable, they included the 7.1 analog-audio inputs for future HD players that have onboard decoding. If you really want true 7.1 from your HD movie with this system, check out the Panasonic DMP-BD55. And as always, if you wait a little longer, the price on these players will drop to something more palatable.

No. It will stream Netflix but not Amazon Prime movies. That's why it is so cheap. I called LG and inquired about it. They said they have not created a new download to make it work with Amazon Prime and that it "was not a priority at this time". So in other words, they will never create the download to make it work with Amazon Prime even though it advertises that it does work with it. I use it on a spare bedroom TV because the Blu Ray and Netflix work great, but still disappointed that I am not getting full use out of it. It only cost me $32.99 so I'm not too upset either. Panasonic has awesome Blu Ray players, but you are going to pay a little more. Good luck to you.

I've never noticed any significant volume variation between Amazon Prime and any other channels, including Netflix and other all-movie channels.

You can read my review, I have two systems, a 5.1 sony surround and I just added this sound bar last night to get better sound from netflix. The reason for this is that my dvr box is hooked up to the surround sound system via an optical digital cable. Very pleased!

I truly hate when people provide uninformative, useless answers to questions. YES, it will let you watch Amazon Prime movies, including the free movies and TV shows available from the Amazon Prime subscription: I know, I use it. The built-in Primetime app integrates Netflix and Amazon (and Google Play videos and Redbox and your cable/satellite TV) into one app that is really a pretty nice way to see everything you have available through one app.

It will decode Dolby Digital 5.1 and down-mix it to 2.1. It will not decode DTS.

No, but DTS-HD has a DTS core that will play fine on your DTS receiver. However if your receiver does not support DTS at all you won't be able hear anything unless the bluray or dvd has a different audio track or your player will down-convert for you. All Dolby True-HD blurays I have, also have a Dolby Digital track as well.

I use my Yumi set with my Apple TV and there's no problem when I watch movies encoded in Dolby 5.1. I use optical out from my Apple TV.
