Onkyo HT-S7100 Theater System

$715.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
this system provides the "bang for the buck!" in addition to playing dvds and the tv cable system, it comes with a tuner, and room to connect a cd player and more.
from www.amazon.com
it did take me 4 hours to properly digest instructions and integrate a phd hdtv terrestrial receiver, sansui vcr/dvd player/writer, tivo, ps3, ipod and 50" panasonic hd tv.
from www.amazon.com
i never owned a home theater system prior to this, nor an lcd tv.
from www.amazon.com
figuring out how to put the receiver in "standby" mode so i could use the tv without turning on the tuner took a little reading and messing around, but i figured it out.
from www.amazon.com
for whatever reason the picture after being passed through my receiver looks better than it did when the hdmi was going straight from the cable box to my tv.

Onkyo HT-SP908 Theater System

$749.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i took a 1080p 42" lcd tv with a blu-ray disc player and placed a 1080i 55" lcd rear projection tv with the ht-sp908 system next to it.
from www.amazon.com
i run all my electronics though it and then only run a single hdmi cable to my lcd tv.
from www.amazon.com
it will require additional cables from the tv back to the reciever.
from www.amazon.com
as it turns out, once you plug the included dvd player and tv into the receiver via the included hdmi cable, insert a dvd, change the input to dvd on the receiver, and press play...nothing happens.
from www.amazon.com
the receiver cannot receive pure audio signal, such as music cd, through hdmi if it is connected to tv also via hdmi and tv is not powered on.

there's just one auxilliary input, and if you want cable tv to play through it that's what you need to use - leaving my phonograph and wireless mac airport setup left out.

(if you have an older tv, run it through another dvd or vcr/dvd combo if you have one..if you get stuck.) otherwise, sound effects from movies are very good.
from www.amazon.com
if i were to change anything about it i would make it a bit more powerful (great w/ movies like braveheart, though not as strong w/ tv) and i would make the speaker wires a bit longer.

from lt.dell.com
this is home theater in a box and as such, the receiver/player just meets the minimum number of outputs you would need to hook it up to a tv sacrificing additonal ports for other peripherals.

from www.bestbuy.com
sound from your cable box or tv comes from the tv, which makes it little inconvenient when switching between movies and tv, you have to switch inputs on both the tv and the sound bar.
from By NOOZ, reviews.homedepot.com
the sound system sits atop the mantle, below the tv in the family room.
