can I listen to music on a cd while watching tv? I have always been able to that on my previous home theatres.

YES. You can play a DVD or CD on the Samsung unit while watching TV, you just will NOT be able to get any sound from the TV broadcast while listening to the CD. No problem in what you are trying to do whatsoever with this Home Theater System. Hope this helps?

TV is not necessary for playing music CD's, DVD's or Blu-Ray sound disks. The sound will come from your speakers & not the TV, but you can also use the TV speakers if you like.

Yes, I think so. I play DVD's on tv and portable dvd player. I am not sure about cd's, for I have not tried burning cd's in this unit, and I'm not sure it even does cd's???

You need a stereo receiver. Amazon has a number of them for sale for under $200. I would go with a Yamaha or a Sherwood. If music sound is what you mainly want, I strongly suggest you integrate your receiver and speakers into your tv system - there are any number of ways to do that. That way you can hear your tv AND music through the speakers, by using your dvd/bluray to play your music. Also, if you upload your cd's into ITunes (make sure you edit your "preferences" to MP3), you can then burn mp3 cd's in data format to play in your dvd player. Those cd's will give you a great sound and over 10 hours of continuous music. Then you can ditch the Sony cd player, which will only play one audio cd at a time. You need a stereo receiver.

I assume you have a "smart" TV and are obtaining the content from the internet directly to the TV. If so, you have to select TV/CD as the source on the receiver. Also, you have to have either a digital sound return via HDMI from the TV back to the receiver or you have to use a digital optical cable. Which one you use depends on what the TV supports, really. I had to use the optical cable with my Samsung EH5300.

Absolutely you can, but they will not play in a regular CD player, only a machine that plays DVDs.

I didn't try a CD but I could not get it to play a DVD either which is why I bought it so I will be returning it.

Yes it plays CDs, I really like this tv, it has a really good picture. It was a great gift for my son.

If you want speakers, you can (prolly) just hook this to your television, but the sound quality wouldn't be as good. If you want this CD player to sound like it oughtta, you need a receiver. You also might need speaker wire and something to plug the speaker wire into the receiver with. Unless the receiver and/or speakers already have those things...

Hi AB, the sound trouble you are having may mot be a direct result of the set. It could a combination of the settings in the sound menu of the TV & the cable box.Adjust the sound on the TV while playing a music CD through it. Once you have the sound you like, switch to TV and play with the sound menu in the cable box.

Yes. Since you asked, I stuck in a music CD and it played it well. The tracks showed on the screen. I didn't know this myself until now.

Using optical from cable box, sounds like tv has a stereo signal cable box i have has no sound at all via HDMI i think the tv would pass it thru if it were available. oh optical is into philips 5.1 blu ray system always on to opti in or fm radio tuner.

Really? I have this unit, and I didn't even know it played music CDs. But I have to admit I use it mostly as a TV for watching the news while I'm in the kitchen. I have used the DVD function but have not tried the radio part of it and didn't even know if would play music CDs. That's good to know! One more thing I have discovered is that the remote has such tiny buttons, it's hard to hit the ones you want. But that's a minor complaint.

Yes. But you have more control over how you want to listen to the music with cd, meaning you can control the order of your music in cd better.

I understand that there is a firmware update that supposedly fixes this issue. Also, it is my understanding that TV must be hooked up to initially set up and play audio CDs and SACDs. As I'm only interested in audio playback, this is important to know. Can anyone confirm? Perhaps L.Go since you have the unit and have played the disks.

Yes. You can enter into 'CD' mode, mount a CD, select 'CD Player' and using the rotary encoder wheel highlight a track to start playing from that track. The CD will continue to play until the last track has played. Output is at the RCA line outs and headphone jack. The Master volume does not control the output to the line outs.
