Which inputs control which speakers? Meaning, where does the sound come out for center channel in Dolby or whatever kind of encoding?

The speaker has its own center channel, as well as left/right front and left/right back. With a 5 or 7 channel receiver, you will be making 5 connections to your receiver corresponding to the hookups on the speaker.

They are labeled on the back of the soundbar. Center, Left front, Right Front, Left rear, and right rear

this actually has 5 sets of speaker ins so you would just connect all 5 to a 5.1 receiver.

If you are watching HD, the audio would be 5.1 surround sound. If you are just distributing the front left and right channels, that's all that would be in those channels-- background music, sound effects...etc. The main voices would be in your center channel. You would need to switch your amp to not be surround sound when distributing, but rather just be stereo (l&r). Or, try changing to the SD channel broadcast. Those are usually not in surround sound.

That is a great question. I thought the same thing. Until I went to the theater and read some more information about quality sound. The next time you go to the movies, zero in on the sound and you will notice that all the sound comes from the center speaker, with the other front and rear speakers complimenting the center speaker. That is why I love this center speaker so much. It has been a year now and the sound I think is even better now that it is broken in. I hope my response was helpful.

the source should be 7.1 i guess. else we can play a simulation of 7ch stereo. pl check if your DVD/BD is written as 7.1 ch? If its 7.1 ch recording and you are not getting 7.1 then check Speaker distribution. if everything is fixed per its position. Can use odyssey auto adjuster. finally, do you use anyother system which takes care of distribution of spound to speakers? ( like bose acoustimass?) check that too if it i s7.1 too. thanks

Regular speaker cable inputs.This is great speaker you need to buy this. I am using it with a denon receiver.

Agreed with all of the previous responses. You want to simply control the input from one channel [A] of your amplifier, and that goes to your four sets of speakers, identified as 1-4 to the right of the input. Frankly, not clear why they are showing "Output" connections below the Input connections. I am sure someone knows, but, for me they are just irrelevant.

I may be wrong, but it seems to me that the audio output is not controlled by the volume setting on the TV. I use the volume on the external receiver/amplifier. I have big speakers, so I set the sound on the TV to Mute and just use the big sound. I should add, I do this for Movies, I do not watch regular TV. It is pretty awesome for movies. I have 4 12" and 4 10" woofers, then mids, tweeters, and horns. So it is quite engulfing. Car races and airplanes have the sound going across the room. Makes one feel like they are in the middle of it. On another note, another person has color setting up on the comments, and I went in and set mine to these values, and wow, what a beautiful picture.

The description indicates Dolby Digital. I have only used it for a 2 channel stereo application.

you can go into the Audio and check speaker volume, I turned down the front 2 speakers and the center channel and turned up the rear volume; also when you play dvd or blu ray make sure you have set for 5.1 channel. Not all are set this way automatically. hope that is of some help

You could use any of the inputs. However, I would use the Optical or HDMI input first; because they would give you the best quality sound with a current sound bar. I would use the analog, stereo input as your last option.

Not sure what you mean by True Dolby. In my set up my Yamaha receiver only supports 2 Toslink inputs and I needed to support 3 devices. Currently have my Xbox One, PS4 and 360 converging at this point and outputting to my receiver through a single line. My receiver recognizes all devices as having 5.1 surround. Recognizes DTS and Dolby through the switch.

No, I'm not aware of any speaker system that does that. That is more of a function of the original mix. It does play, very accurately, what the original mix is. What you might be experiencing is a tv station broadcasting in 5.1 surround sound mix and your current system isn't set up properly for that. I had the same experience before I got this system. Weird background noises would be louder than the dialog. Especially watching football games. Since I have got this system, I haven't had that problem, so possibly Yes!

70xseven, The "voice" tracks for most movies is usually found in the center channel. You can adjust the volume for each speaker independently, so if you want more voices, turn up the center channel (or turn down the other channels), and you'll be able to get the mix you're looking for. Center channel is usually assigned to voices. Left and Right front speakers are usually reserved for sound effects and music. Left and Right rear speakers are not always used (at least as much as the front R/L speakers), and are for surround effects. Does that help? --Mr. S

Make sure your input src is clean. If you pass through the tv it may not work, get audio straight from the sat box or whatever and make sure that outputs dolby 5.1.
