Is the output at least Dolby 5.1?

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

as far as I can say yes, the sound does come out of all speakers at one time or another, works well

John,I am a gearhead and professional musician and Paladia is a big part of my life. I use this box on a 7.1, Pioneer receiver for surround sound in my living room and it is better than I could have imagined. I have monster optical cables hooked up from my Direct TV box to my receiver and it is amazing. The newest Direct TV boxes only have a digital audio out put so I bought this to use my existing optical setup and I am very happy with it!I hope this helps you.

7.1 and 5.1 have nothing to do with whether the audio is HD or not. In fact, the majority of films/blu-rays are still in 5.1 surround, 7.1 has yet to be widely adopted. So, this means that no, the High-Def audio formats are not downgraded for 5.1 sound.

Yes, you can do 5.1 as I currently do now. But the receiver can configure to run on 7.1 and even 7.2 speaker system.

Yes, but it will not be true 5.1 surround. It will say 5.1 Dolby digital on your receiver but if you have a game system(Xbox 360, PS3) with the same apps you will hear the difference in sound.

Not sure. I'm using optical through my surround sound system and its phenomenal.

There is one audio output on the projector- a 3.5mm headphone jack. This will work for stereo, but may not be the best for a full 5.1 system. I ended up getting an HDMI -&gt; HDMI / Optical audio extractor (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KBHX072/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_2?pf_rd_p=1944687782&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B005COKXCO&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=194PA6VV2MQ8HM2YAQRM) to accomplish your goal.

Dario, Sorry, but the answer is no. I just bought the BD35 and was VERY dissapointed to discover that the Dolby and DTS HD audio formats are not supported at the optical output. This is not at all clear until you look at the chart on page 8 of the BD35/BD55 manual. Dolby-EX and DTS-ES make it through, but Dolby-TrueHD, DTS-HD, and DTS-HD Master Audio do not.

Thanks for your question. Yes, the output does do Dolby Digital 5.1. This is a fantastic TV. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Sony dealer.

Hi George, this Sony KDL50W800B will only output 5.1 surround sound and not 7.1. This is the audio feature this TV set. -Ely

I am not sure, depending on what audio outs are on the back of the set, but I don't think so. What you need on the back of the set is 5 seperate pos and neg speaker channels out (front R & L, front center, rear R & L, plus a subwoofer RCA out). You can check, but I think your TV audio outs will need to be run through an amplifier that supports dolby 5.1 for best effects.

If you have a Surround receiver such as Yamaha that outputs simulated 5.1 to headphones yes but it depends on if your receiver supports surround soundstages to headphones.

I have mine hooked up to my 5.1 surround sound with the optical wire and it works good.

Hi! Yes. On the back there's a port that is labeled "Optical Digital Audio Output". Hope this helps!

Well its 7.1 surround sound but it works on 5 I suggest being able to support that at least

yes 5.1 with optical which only occurs from the device you have connected it to. So for example, if you connect the soundbar to your tv, then you get digital sound from any media that your tv plays. If you then play your xbox you will not get digital, but it does give a good 5.1 representation. So for example, I use my TV as a media player for video playback and get 5.1 sound that way. FYI. Costco have great deal for thanksgiving on this, with $80 off. If I was you, I would get from there, then if you hate it you can always easily return. plus, check out the firmware version. There is an update out there that fixes some of the sound related issues. Firmware update is very simple. http://store.vizio.com/documents/downloads/accessories/S4251W-B4/s4251wb4-firmware-update-guide.pdf

I can confirm that optical out is 5.1 surround.I have the optical out connected to my Denon receiver and watched an HD movie stremaing through the VUDU app on the LG tv. The streaming was a little slow at times, but I DID have 5.1 surround.
