Set-up question - Blu-ray Forum

connect42 · 02-16-2009, 04:09 AM

I hope I am asking this in the right section, if not, somebody important please move my post. This forum has helped me out with all of my questions while getting my set-up completed. Now I am moving to my Grandparents set-up.

The have a 61 inch Samsung DLP (HL-R6168W). I am getting them a Blu-ray player in the next day or so. They have HD cable through Knology.
I am looking for a speaker set-up that will help them hear the dialogue a little better. They aren't really looking for a killer surround system, they just want to hear "Jack Bauer better when he talks". That is exactly what she said.
Is there a speaker or sound bar that will connect to the TV that will just give them extra sound when playing both cable and Blu-ray/DVD?

Thanks,

Brian

If you looking for a soundbar...http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/d...d=HT-X810T/XAA

do you have any speakers so far???

connect42 · 02-16-2009, 04:23 AM

No, they don't have any speakers. I'm in charge of that. I really don't want to overwhelm them. I love the link you provided, but that is probably more than they need or want.

well if that soundbar would be to much, they only thing they would be hearing the audio through is the TV speakers. The soundbar is the only thing I can think of besides going all out with a 5.1 system.

Yea, you are right ... I am going to take them to HHGregg tomorrow to let them look around with me. Thanks.

pacificvibes · 02-16-2009, 04:32 AM

No problem, I hope you find what you are looking for. Be sure to look around for the best price before you buy

connect42 · 02-16-2009, 04:35 AM

Yep, the best price in town is usually HHGregg. If the prices don't look good I will buy online. I am hoping there are speaker connections on the back of the TV. I didn't check that out when I was over there earlier. If there are, I may be able just get them a good speaker that will add to the TV speakers for TV and Blu use.

hey - if you are still around, would this be what I am looking for? Would they need a receiver for this or are these component plug-able?
