Default Re: Need Help: Flat Screen Audio Setup

Hey guys, I got really lucky with this! I got the Samsung 5500 Sound Bar when I went to BestBuy and picked up a display and looked at the back of it, and then asked a few questions...(then bought it from Amazon.com for two dollars cheaper, free two-day shipping that actually ended up coming a day early!)
For my BluRay, I have the HDMI going into the HDMI-IN on the sound bar, and another HDMI cable plugged into the OUT port on the sound bar which goes to the TV so that the speaker gets the sound before the TV does and cancels the TV's speakers! Alternately, I bought an optical cable just in case that did not work. I also bought an RCA to 8" aux cable adapter so I could plug my Wii audio into the aux port on the sound bar. And having Bluetooth connection with my phone's music collection is just icing on the cake! The kids love it because I love it so much. First movie we watched with the new sound...How the Grinch Stole Christmas, which also arrived today.
