Will this offer 5.1 to a set of headphones http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000...

Strictly speaking, no, I don't think so... 5.1 requires 5 separate channels + sub... This will give clarity and some space to sound, but not a 5.1 surround effect.

I just looked at the audio specs for your Samsung and didn't see any mention of 5.1 you don't want this plug, it is mono, your Samsung uses a stereo jack. You can buy a stereo cord with RCA outputs then let your receiver simulate 5.1.

Yes it can. Just be aware, with what is included in package is not enough to have a 5.1 sound when connected to a PC.

I believe you should be able to since the missing speakers between the 5.1 and the 7.1 are used for mid room surround, however with the whole system in I'm not sure if you'll be able to have just stereo sound coming from the remaining port. Its possible you'll end up with those speakers only playing the sound that would come through the two mid speakers in a 7.1 system.

I would guess it depends on the type of receiver. My 5.1, which I recently replaced with a Sony 7.2, has a dedicated subwoofer port.

Yes it can be setup as a 5.1, in fact when using the powered zone 2 feature the unit will not allow use on 2 of the "7.1" speakers thus making it run like a 5.1 system on the main speakers. That is how I have my current setup. I use the 5.1 speaker outputs in my living room for the home theater and use powered zone 2 to stream music to my 2 outdoor speakers on my patio. For more info see the manual on Onkyo's website us.onkyo.com.

No. Buy the 7.1 channel version and you will be able to have 5.1 in one room, and a two speaker system in another... but not with this model.

It depends. The 5.1 is a bit of a strange deal, but it definitely did what I wanted it to do, and that was provide 5.1 audio from HDMI to Optical into my old 5.1 receiver that only had Optical in and no HDMI. The trick is that it doesn't do Linear PCM or any uncompressed 5.1 sound. However, compressed audio like Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1 work perfectly. Depending on the Sonos's settings, you should be able to get 5.1 through to it using this switch

Yes, if your receiver has spdif it'll be in 5.1 also. Make sure the PS is set to Dolby Digital/DTS and not PCM greater than 2 channels.

Yes it will help you hook up to your receiver, but I am doubtful that the 5.1 will come through as true 5.1. Is worth a try without upgrading your receiver.

Yes. As long as you have a 3.5 mm headphone jack. If not they sell adapters from 2.5 to 3.5

Just glancing through the brief description of the product, you'll know this is a basic receiver for stereo music listening; it's meant for people who want the latest quality without paying for Home Audio features they'll never use. You should really get a 5.1 receiver at the very least if you plan on using it for movies or anything, so that you can build up your system into a surround format.P.S: I apologize if I wrongly assumed you are interested primarily in home theater audio.

Much will depend upon the sound system / speakers / etc. your using. We use it through our 5.1 system at home and it sounds fine.

No. I am using a 5.1 setup with this receiver and it combines the 2 back channels of the 7.1 with the rear channels to create a 5.1 setup with no lose of audio other than the spatial dynamics of a 7.1 setup.

Not necessarily. A decent MOBO will have the channels to make it work but I use a Asus Xonar DGX with mine. Unless you are an audiophile any 5.1 sound card will be fine.

Sure. These headphones cater to 5.1 games and movies more because of the multi-speaker setup. (three speakers in each can) It may make your music sound different compared to stereo headphones, but unless your the pickiest of audiophiles, that probably won't matter.

yea thats the 5.0 and that is the same as i do have it.remember you must have a subwoofer to get the top quality sound expected.at least klipsh number 10, 350w or 450w.
