Is it easy to hear dialogue? My HDTV speakers make it annoying to listen to dialogue clearly.

I am using this system in a room where the tv is only 6 ft from me so the sound is quite good. It sounds better than my TV's speakers
516556
Yes. That's one of the reasons I added speakers to this TV in the first place.

I would couldn't get the speakers to work so l gave them to my sister & they didn't work for her either. I would not bye them.

It did help on mine the only thing that's kinda irritating is there is no remote and it sounds best if my tv volume is on mute and i just use the speakers but I need to get up to change volume

The subwoofer has the volume and bass adjustment knob. You can use a one wire speaker in put or the rca type cable it comes with one in the box. I went and bought a 2wire rca speaker cable at fredmeyer for this.

I use them on my computer, and they work great. Listening to music, the sounds and volume are great.

Yes, how ever you either have to hook them into your DVD player or and external mic plug on the back of your tv.There is no remote so you have to adjust sound by the knob on the back of the speaker.

Hi Donna. Are you looking for improved volume or clarity? You can probably tinker with the sound options on the menu screen. Otherwise, you may want to get what Phil and Rodney suggested - a dedicated sound system.

On the Samsung tv go to menu then preferences / accessibility and disable DV this turns off the annoying narrator

How does the speaker sound? If you watch Hulu or Netflix, etc... are you able to listen at a reasonable level without the speaker distorting or do you need to use headphones or plugin external speakers?

I bought specifically for TV use, dialog is crystal clear, absolutely no distortion. Dialog is clearer than audio thru stereo or Sharp flat screen TV.Highly recommend for use w/ TV. I use in bed so as not to disturb my wife......Good Luck

Almost forgot, I don't have my TV here, but is there any automatic sound adjust in the setup menu you can turn off?

When I say they are loud, they are loud. I can't even put them up to 50 without dealing with roommates or other people next door having to tell me to turn it down. I haven't had that happen unless on my game or watching TV. That's just me on the audio quality. I still need to mess with it to see if there's a way, if I wanted to, to change the audio to concert hall or some other kind of audio format option.

it depends on whether you're playing music or voice. i find speech is only clear close up, and acrosss the room it's only certain voices i fully understand. with music it's fine.

there should be a mute button if not lower the volume on your TV to 0 and Bluetooth should be very audible

I have similar problems hearing dialog (high frequency sound loss). When my wife and I would watch movies, many, many times I would have to ask the wife "what did he say?". I had a bose 5.1 surround system, and tried adjusting sound (treble etc.) on the tv to help but it was no help. I was researching sound bars for the main purpose of helping me understand, and came across the 555. It has been remarkable. When I received, I tried each mode, and was getting a little worried that although it was better, I was still having a little trouble with dialog. Then, I engaged the DE and there was a huge difference for me. I have gone from many times not knowing what the heck is going on in a movie, to hardly EVER missing a word. No two people will have the exact same hearing level, so you will get differing opinions. That said, it has the 30 day return policy, and I have to recommend trying it.

Definitely! I find dialog hard to define sometimes from the TV speaker. Putting on the headphones makes the speech much easier to understand. Keep in mind the HDR120 is just the headphones. If you want the complete package (i.e. headphones + transmitter/charger) you have to order the model RS120.

When watching regular TV the speakers are great. When watching a DVD, I have to turn the volume way up. I have not tried to add speakers

I bought the Sharp for my son. The sound was weaker, but according to him, that is the price we pay for the thinner TVs. I also bought a Samsung Smart TV for my house. Both have the same problem. He solved the problem on his with a sound bar. I just turn mine up high. I will probably add speakers to mine eventually.

Whad' ya say? Seriously, I don't think so. It's been a while since I sent it back (because it clicked a lot). If you have a relatively new TV (past 5-6 years), you may be able to plug in a headset, which should seem louder for you.

I also had problems with the digital audio connection. I was never able to get any sound out of that output. I read in other forums that only TV audio will come out from that connection and it won't work to pass through audio from other sources (hdmi). Ultimately, I had to connect my devices' audio directly to my home theatre system. This work-around was not ideal, but got the job done. Just a little more hassle to change a/v sources since I have to change both the TV and the home theatre receiver.

I agree with Kanagaraj. What I do is have the console set up as normal. The speakers are connected to the tv audio output. Turn the tv volume down and just use the speaker volume. It's what I do when I watch movies on my PS3 and it sounds great. Hope this helps!

Hi Andre.That was a number of months ago - did they ever "update" the TV, and did that solve the "lip sync" issue? I seem to be very sensitive to lip sync issues- I notice them all the time - if any channel is off by a fraction of a second, it really annoys me.
