Can I use this system to provide audio from the Samsung TV WITHOUT playing a DVD?...

If you are using another system, like say a video gaming console, you will not get true surround sound. The audio will only play from the front 4 speakers for any other device that is not directly coming from the dvd player system.

Ya it has 5 different functions. So you can listen to music, watch tv, play DVD and blue ray, and hook up to internet for Netflix, Hulu, and youtube.

Go Hawks' answer makes sense to me but Samsung support has told me at least twice that there is no way to get audio out. That doesn't make sense to me and I am going to try Go Hawks' suggestion with a HD receiver. Any suggestions on a good economical one to get?

Hey, Darren this is a stand alone unit so you will be able to play it without having it hooked up to a t.v. If you look at the speakers specifications you will notice that it has multiple ways of playing media. You can connect any device to it that has a 3.5mm headphone jack. You can also load up and use an SD card with mp3s since it has a slot for it as well. If you don't have an SD card you can do the same with a USB stick drive because it supports that too. If all those options are not enough you can also play your music via Bluetooth. You're set these speakers got you covered.

You can connect it directly. It may not be the correct signal strength from the DVD and you probably won't be able to change the volume with a remote but it will work.

The unit does not have audio outputs.. You will have to connect an additional audio source from the device being used for the projector. If a laptop is being used, you need to hook up a pair of speakers to that using the 3.5 mm audio output from the laptop. (a decent quality computer speaker system should work fine) .. If a DVD player is being used, you will need an additional audio amplifier with speakers to be connected from the DVD player itself, (usually RCA type connections).

What did you use to burn the DVD's to the system? Do you still have the 5.1 audio doing this?

I don't know the specifics of your setup but it does have audio out from DVD player. I have the audio out from the tview hooked up to the audio in of my pioneer head unit. I play the sound through the factory speakers.

Yes you can. It has additional inputs (RCA Type) for a DVD/TV components. I use it on my Toshiba As a sound bar. The I-Pod Touch on top is also a nice touch.

sure you can, but the audio out of the TV is limited to the built in speakers or a mini headphone jack. I have had problems with a hum in the background when I plug the mini jack out into my stereo auzillary in. I just run the sound out of my laptop now to the stereo. That works perfectly! :)

Yes you can only if you connect the satellite speakers directly through a AV receiver. Else, there'll be a performance issue.

No. However the device supports another Samsung Wireless system. You will have to buy the wireless system separately. Once installed the wireless system on the device the rear speakers can be used without running wires from the main device.

Yes. If you go into your settings...go to sound and select your output as the TV not your computer. It will play audio through your computer until you do this

Yes you have 2 options. If your TV got a audio output then use that to connect this speakers. If your TV don't have audio output then you need use their AV option (You cannot HDMI)

Hey, thanks for asking the question...I had been remiss in trying sound using MS Media to put a slide show on my Samsung. The pictures I tried came out just as they did on my PC. So just tried playing an MP3 using the HDMI connection to the Samsung TV and on to a Vizio sound bar, works great. Just remember they no longer show up on your PC with the connection.

joe, There are two most common options - you can use either a digital optical audio out (if your receiver supports that), or the 3.5mm analog output that will either go to a 3.5mm input, or can be used with a 3.5mm-to-RCA cable, which will support most receivers that have an AUX or TV input. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

No, it is for connecting a monitor to the Samsung laptop. Sound would come from the laptop's speakers. I don't use the one I have any more. If you need one I'll sell you mine.

It passes the audio to the speakers, not the TV, so you don't need any optical connections to the TV.Also, it won't decode any of the HD audio codecs from your BluRay or HD-DVD player, but it will accept the signal and pass it to the speakers. If your component doesn't have the option to convert the HDMI HD audio, then this receiver will down sample to Dolby Digital/DTS and pump it to the speakers,
