How to Setup a DVD Player Surround Sound System



theatre setup in home

The DVD player surround sound system is a combination of a DVD player, audio receiver and a set of speakers. You can choose to have the speaker system wired or wireless depending on your needs.

First, understand that surround sound from DVD players cannot be received through the player. It must be sent to the receiver for processing. Most DVD players do not have the decoders needed to do this, so you will need to connect a digital audio cable from the DVD player's output jack to the input jack on your AV receiver.

You have two options to connect the digital audio out of your DVD player's DVD player to your AV receiver. An optical or RCA digital audio cable is available. The RCA coaxial cables are stronger and more resistant to RF interference. However, music publishers prefer the optical because it offers better audio quality.

Dolby Digital5.1 or DTS Surround Sound with DVD Videos

DolbyDigital5.1 or DTS formats will be offered for most new DVD movies. This surround sound will only be possible with an audio/video receiver equipped with a DolbyDigital 5.1 or DTS decoder, and at least six loudspeakers. One for each of the 6 channels being decoded by the DVD player.


Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS is the most common and best sounding surround sound available, but there are many different bit depth/sampling rate/channel combinations that can be used on a single disc. The frequency of a 5.1 track's surround speaker channel is 48kHz/20-bit.

Some TV shows and movies can also be available as streaming content via the internet. Amazon and Netflix offer Dolby Digital Plus sound.

The DD-Plus stream can be decoded using certain devices, such as audio/video receivers or the ROKU3. For the audio signal to be transmitted, an HDMI cable will be needed to connect your device to your TV.

Both companies are excellent for audio quality. Bose comes out on top when it is about sound quality.

Bose headphones have a premium look and feel. Samsung headphones on the other side have a plastic shell and aren’t very attractive.

Both brands offer outstanding products. You can choose the one that best suits your style.

How To

How much should I budget for a great sound system?

There are three key factors to consider when choosing a speaker system in your home entertainment room. First, decide how much money to invest. The second is where are you going to place the speakers. The third is what type of music are you listening to?

The most common mistake people make when purchasing audio equipment is thinking that bigger equals better. In reality, it doesn't matter much how large the speaker cabinet may be. It is only its ability to accurately reproduce low frequencies. You'll need a larger cabinet if classical music is your main focus. This is because the bass notes are more powerful. The cabinet should be smaller if you listen to more rock, pop, or hip-hop music.

Another common misconception is the belief that speakers with higher prices are of better quality. While higher prices usually indicate better materials and engineering, this isn't necessarily true. Many low-quality products have inferior components like poor drivers which can lead to distortion and lower volumes. This could result in an unpleasant experience.

It is also important to not worry about the amplifier that drives the speakers. Some amplifiers can be used for hi-fi, while others can be used for stereo. Even amplifiers designed specifically for car stereos exist.

For placement reasons, speakers should not be placed directly beneath your TV screen. This will not only block your TV screen's view but will also decrease the volume. You should instead position them high above the television set near the ceiling. You will be able to hear the maximum volume without straining your ears.

Finally, you should consider your musical tastes and choose the best speaker for you. Bookshelf speakers might be the best choice if classical music is your main focus. These speakers are typically equipped with a long throw, or woofer, so the sound travels farther. These speakers are too large and bulky to be practical in small spaces.
