Regions are global areas defined by the BluRay consortium. In order the allow the introduction of movies in different countries on different dates, most Bluray movies have a region code embedded in them. Bluray players will only play movies authored for the region in which they are sold. There are movies on the market, however, that are region-free, and can be played on any Bluray player anywhere in the world.
Put the bluray into PLAY then go into the AUDIO MENU and change through the choices. When you select the correct one the sound should come on.
Seems pretty far away for a bluray-release
A home theater system can be as simple or complex as one would like. They generally minimally contain a large TV, BluRay player and surround sound.
Any DVD player that is capable of playing HD material will have a logo on it to announce that it is HD capable. Look for either a BluRay logo or HDDVD logo. Even better, take a look at the manual.
HDMI is a common standard so connecting a Bluray player to any HDMI input is likely to work. Computer monitors vary little from their television counterparts but there are one or two reasons why it might not work. First, computer monitors may not be configured to handle broadcast HD signals. The timing and resolution are not standard computer formats so it is worth checking that the monitor can handle 720p 50Hz / 60Hz and 1080i 50Hz / 60Hz. Almost all should handle these format with ease but do the checking anyway. Second, a copy protection system called HDCP is used on most domestic HD equipment and it encodes signals on HDMI connectors. If the monitor does not support HDCP, there is a good chance that some or all of the output from the Bluray player will not be displayed. Once again, a check of the manual should show if the monitor is HDCP compliant.

people who have bluray players
Beacaus bluray is newer and they think everybody has a bluray player... eventually it will come on dvd.
Yes, the Toshiba C55T does play the bluray.
Yes all bluray drives will play cds.
Could be nothing more than the Bluray DVD's that you're watching aren't encoded in 5.1 surround.
No. You need a BluRay player that specifically says it can read 3-D disks
Yes, so long as they are the same type of disks, for example; bluray would work with bluray.
A region 1 DVD is intended to be used in North America. Any BluRay player purchased in North America should play the disc. Bluray players from other regions such as Europe will be expecting to play discs marked with a different region code so are unlikely to pay a region 1 DVD.
No, it will not play Bluray discs, but it is upscaling, so you can watch your regular DVDs at HD quality.
yes
It's already out
