Hi there,
I've been reading up on soundbars on this website for a while and I've come across a concept that I just need clearing up. I've read a few times that you will be unable to experience surround sound via the soundbar if the TV doesn't output surround sound.
I've checked up my model and it doesn't output surround. So I would just like to know if I will not be able to experience surround sound with any soundbar with my TV set? And if so can someone please recommend me any models that do output surround sound, I'm looking for something in the 40" region and I don't require any SMART or 3D functionality. So long as it is full HD and has a high refresh rate.
Also does the stereo output of a TV hamper surround capabilities, when using a genuine 5.1 system? I have a home cinema set in the living room but I doubt the TV can output anything other than stereo.
