Yes. This thing can turn a stereo source(2 channels) into an 8 channel source. You can actually have all speakers produce the exact same thing, or have a pseudo surround sound effect.

Hey Pugh, let me know if you have any of the compatibility issues I've had. You're using the Xbox Slim, and I'm thinking of upgrading to one especially if it works better with this reciever. Does your Xbox 360 turn off by itself everytime you switch to another input on your receiver?I'm using a Samsung LCD HDTV and if I'm the only one having these issues then maybe the TV is actually the culprit

Im having an issue with this. I contacted Sony and they told me to hook up my: Bluray &gt; HDMI &gt; TV Bluray &gt; Optical Cable &gt; Home Theater Home Theater &gt; HDMI &gt; TV When i play my dvds on my home theater i get the full surround sound, BUT when i play my blurays i dont. I get the same sound from my front right speakers and my right rear speakers (same thing for the left side). Does anyone have a solution? or having these same issues?

I hooked these speakers up to my xbox like stated above I used the hdmi cord and ran it to my tv then i also plugged in the regular tv cable to the xbox and just ran the red and yellow audio cords to the speakers. It sounds excellent!! It DOES give you surround sound, I have played this with many games but with Call of Duty World at War with Zombies and it sounds incredible! Just as good as my friends $800 surround sound set.

All speakers will play for both, only true surround sound when plugged in TV... and i don't know what they are talking about, this system is wonderful! if you have any questions about it keep posting them, and i'll answer them. I have the system myself and i love it!

no, just don't use the bitstream output from the ps3, use linear pcm and you'll get dts-hd and dolby truehd from the receiver, the ps3 will decode the audio just fine.

I also had the same dilema, hooking up my xbox and cable box to the reciever. I ran the HDMI from both to my tv, ran an optical out from tv to sony reciever and had awesome sound.. Does kind of suck that there are no HDMI inputs but I still made it work for me.

Works with any red/white rca audio source or a subwoofer out . If you use an amplifier that has additional rca audio out great. Since the xbone has only hdmi and fiber optic audio as sound out sources, you must rely on your amplifier to have the rca red/white or subwoofer audio out to use buttkicker.I bought a cheap converter on Amason that converts fiber optic audio to rca, and use hdmi for tv, works great!Search for "toslink to rca" on Amason. Depending on Xbone update happening this week 3/10/14 you may have to adjust the audio in settings on the Xbone to stero, only if you hear/feel no sound.

You can, but if I were you, I'd go ahead and mount them anyway. There may not be a lot of 7.1 out there yet, but it will come. Not long ago, there wasn't a lot of HD content out there, either. Now look at it all. While you are going through the trouble of mounting speakers and routing cable, may as well do them all, even if one pair won't get fully utilized just yet. FWIW, a true 7.1 setup in my room is also not possible... I have the couch pressed against the wall, preventing me from getting the rears truly behind the watching position. Instead, I have the rears as far back as I possibly can (slightly behind seating position) and the other surround pair slightly in front of those, but further away from the seating position. Something like this: [sub] [lt-front] [cnter] [rt-front] [left][couch] [right] [lt-rear] [rt-rear] ---wall-------------------------wall----- So, not ideal, but it gets the job done, and when 7.1 content becomes widely available, I won't have to go through the trouble of running more cable. Hope that helps. I'll watch this thread if you have any more questions.

Yes and no I wouldn't recommend them for a console to start with. It may be possible but It would require an adapter you may be worth buying turtle beach headphones. Also 7.1 would be waisted on a console because often the games don't use 7.1.

Hi Kyle B., whether you use HDMI or an optical port, your TV will output sound for all your devices hooked up to the TV. In my case, I have XBox360, PS3, and a computer connected to my HDTV. As long as your TV is turned on, the sound bar will work for all the devices hooked up to the TV, which means if you turn off your TV, the sound bar will be automatically turned off as well. There is a small difference between HDMI and an optical port in terms of the quality of sound. I tried both and decided that I prefer an optical port, but it's highly likely that you might have a different opinion. Anyway, the sound bar is pretty cool. I've been using it for months by now and completely satisfied so far. I highly recommend it to you. Hope this helps!

This worked for my xbox 360, but I honestly have no idea about the new generation consoles. Plus, I don't know how you will get sound. On my setup I have this cable for video and the rca cables in too for audio. Don't know what to tell you other than to try what I did or buy a monitor with HDMI and speakers.

I have my system connected the way you have listed (minus the wii) and the tv speakers don't work at all. Any suggestions?

As far as I heard yes and if anyone was wondering no it's not Xbox One compatible only works for the ps3 xbox 360 and PlayStation 4 audio only

The only thing that plays 7.1 is on a surround sound that has 7 speakers and a sub box. These are a great pair of headphones and I have mine hooked up to my TV with a fiber optic cable. Then it is Bluetooth from the box to my headphones. I have had mine for about three years now, and my wife loves that I have them. I also use them to talk on my smartphone sometimes. The only thing I suggest is some rechargeable batteries.

I don't know what type of adapter is used for xbox.. I use this adapter for Tv.. So I can use my 5.1 speakers on it.. My friend has a xbox one I guess and he is using it

According to the manual, you can hook up the .7 speakers to power your line one eut. I haven't done this yet. The problem might then be that you can play zone one and two together, or zone one along, but not zone two alone?
