Does it stream Netflix in Dolby 5.1 Surround?

Yes, it does netflix, pandora and a whole bunch of other apps that come on the surround sound. I love this setup. Def worth buying.

yeah, it does, but not all movies are in dolby 5.1, it sounds pretty good in my opinion till this day

It does but it isn't hi-def, if you want to run Netflix get a Roku streaming stick. Hi-definition, only $50 and runs much quicker than this piece of junk.

I have no idea. I use it for movies I rent from Amazon and Netflix. If I use it for directv I get double audio, so I dont use it for that.

You cannot have Netflix on any audio receiver which is what this is. The sound from the TV is the only thing that comes into it so you can listen to it through your speakers. I researched all receivers and none have this feature. The main reason is no receiver has a video processing section in it, it's all audio. What I did is to buy a cheap Bluray player which does have Netflix, Hulu, Amazon's Prime and dozens of other on-line movies to watch. I prefer Amazon's Prime, which for an annual subscription provides the same type of movies, but 1,000% better video and audio quality. BTW, you also must have an internet connection to see any of these services, including Netflix plugged into your Bluray player.

My sound bar, the Vizio 5.1 wireless system indicates that 5.1 dolby digital when connected via optical to the tv's optical out. It only does this when the source on the TV is 5.1 in OTA programming or using the in TV smart applications. Its does not provide 5.1 passthrough with my HDMI cable to my set top box or my PS3. Those had to be hooked up directly to the soundbar to get 5.1 sound. However if you have a soundbar that will upmix 2 ch PCM it will pass that signal through HDMI and try its best to make it "surround"

No it does not, it is audio only. Similarly this will not natively stream NetflixThe 2800 streams video but has no airplay so no luck there either.

It does not currently. A firmware fix could be done, I suppose, but supposedly Panasonic has only said that future models will support Netflix.

Yes but it degrades the picture. I returned it. My Panasonic TV gets Netflix direct but NO subtitles. Panny admitted it and gave me have off this thing but running netflix thru that ruined the picture.

No Netflix only works with Microsoft and Apple OSs due to the installation of Silverlight to watch Netflix Movies

No it can't stream Netflix by itself, however you can use a roku, apple tv, etc to do that.

Yes, it will bitstream DolbyDigital 5.1 and DTS to Amp over Optical. That's all I use it for (all audio over Optical).

Yes, it supports Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, and DTS Neo:6 to expand stereo sources to 5.1 or 7.1 surround output. You can select from Dolby PLIIx Movie, Dolby PLIIx Music, Dolby PLIIx Game, DTS Neo:6 Cinema, or DTS Neo:6 Music as the listening mode. If you don't have surround back speakers, the receiver automatically selects Dolby Pro Logic II for 5.1 surround when selecting a Dolby Pro Logic IIX listening mode.

The mixamp that comes with the headset provides Dolby digital 5.1. I have these and an Xbox one and can attest to this

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!

It will, it's just a garbage setup though. At Walmart I bought a Samsung 3d blu ray player/receiver with 5.1 surround for $250. 10x better and I just kept the speakers near tv instead of wires everywhere

Yes and it will also play 5.1 surround sound for movies and shows that have 5.1 audio

It does Netflix and vudu but I cannot stress this enough-- it is a piece of CRAP. Mine just died last week after getting progressively worse and refusing to stream Netflix at all. It simply turned itself off and refused to turn back on again. I have a Sony now and I'm much happier with it.
