can a 5.1 surround sound system be hooked up to this
if not what would be needed to do that???
Yes, a surround sound can be connected to this television.
Many Home Theater systems and even separate receivers will separate and play audio from the TV, or other devices.
If you purchased a Home Theater system that included speakers, you'd typically play a Blu-Ray or DVD through that, and then connect it to the television. You can also connect other devices like a satellite box or cable box to get surround sound also.
Check with your local Best Buy Geek Squad Agent or salesperson for more information on getting a Home Theater system that will connect to your television.
