Can I use the speakers without the dvd player say with my ps3?

It varies on how the wiring for the PS3 is. The Coby DVD player does not carry jacks for speakers. It is a very different wiring method that is hard to explain.

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.

Make sure you go to the input setup in the menu and choose the video input associated with the input "DVD" etc and choose component not HDMI

These are powered speakers which means they already have an amp in them. So you would go directly from your DVD player to the speakers. These are also used as home studio monitors as well. Thank you

You can, but in order to use sound system with the tv only, you will need a receiver.

I guess you do. My understanding is that the device can decode either PCM or DTS signals. If your PS3 delivers this type of signal in the optical port, then you are good to go. Just, expect a little delay from the device, which is not really evident, untill yo set the TV speakers and the device at the same time. Sound becomes with a little echoed, but its minimal. If you just want to turn off the TV speakers and use headphones only, it will work like a breeze!

No. It's just a sound system. If you hook it up to a blu ray / DVD player that'd work

I test it without the TV on. I'd say no. The DVD player apparently doesn't have any speakers. Sound comes through the TV speakers. But with the TV on it plays CD very nice.

There's nothing left but speakers if you don't use the blu-ray.. you need the player to hook up all the speakers and get the desired effect.

No, you can not. You should connect your source (e.g. DVD/BluRay player) directly to your home theater receiver in orther to drive your speakers.If you connect an HDMI source directly to the projector, it will decode stereo audio only and play it only on small internal speakers.

No. Speakers on the TV work just fine. But you can set up external speakers if you want to do so. I bought the package off Amazon with the Ocosmo TV (with DVD player inside) and the Ocosmo soundbar. The TV speakers are OK, but the soundbar works great when I want to watch a DVD. For the price Amazon charged for the TV (w/DVD) and the soundbar, I have been very happy. No problems at all with anything!

Yes you have to hook up your speakers separately. You can hook it up to the projector.

Just use the RCA cables that came with the ps3, and set the audio feature under "settings" to RCA. Your ps3 will still display with hdmi cable and then output audio with RCA. Also if you're using RCA to output audio, be sure to buy one of these with this specific speaker system Logitech 5.1 Game Console Adapter Convert Rca Plugs To A Single 1/8 (Discontinued by Manufacturer)This adapter will give your ps3 5.1 channel surround sound without having to use the lame matrix mode.

I don't think you have to. Set the tuner to DVD/Blue Ray and you should have sound. You do need external speakers connected.

These speakers are not self-powered. Thus you need to have the DVD player go through an amplifier or receiver before going to the Bose 161's via speaker level output.

no , mater of fact all the speakers are hard wired. Don't waste your money it's a piece of sh.. . The DVD player stops all of a sadden and when you start again plays from the beginning. Doesn't have much power ether, I think it's only has 20W total power. I even didn't mount the speakers, I'm gonna get rid of it. Hope this will help you

You need a receiver/home theater to hook speakers to for true surround sound. DVD is optional and would run thru your receiver/home theater system.
