So the other day I was playing with the setting on my TV and realized you can turn the integrated speakers off and go exclusively through receiver/stereo/speakers. DO y'all do this or do you leave the TV speakers on...???

Thanks!

With 5.1 you have to have them off! You have a center right?


I listen with the tv speakers for normal stuff and then use the system for movies (and mute the tv)

Sure do!

Thanks...this explains alot...

me = idiot

since only the video from my dvd player goes into the TV I have never bothered to mute my TV during playback since they are not outputing sound anyway.

Ditto. The audio from my DVD and LD players go directly to the Receiver

I muted the "fixed" or integrated speakers on my tv, set it to variable output and popped LOTR in my XBOX. It was like I had a WHOLE NEW system!

Thanks Guys!

I turn my TV volume down when watching movies....

I turned mine off the day I received my TV. But then again I always have my receiver on when I watch TV. I want to feel the effect of the Burger King comm.

My TV's own sound has been off since I got my 5.1 system.

TVs have speakers?

I turned my TV's speakers off when I got my system, don't even use it to watch TV. The one thing I like is that even with the TV speakers off and just the 5.1 system going I can still adjust the volume through the TV (this doesn't work for DVD's though )
