Hi. I'm a newbie to all of this...just bought our first HDTV, a Panasonic 42PX60U and will be getting our cable box upgraded to HD next week. I'm looking for a HTIB system to enhance our viewing experience, but am confused as to which we should buy. I mistakenly went out today and picked up a Panasonic SC-HT940, which now after doing research I will likely return due to lack of inputs.
I really don't think we need a 7.1 system, I'm sure 5 speakers would be enough. I also want a dvd player and would love something that's XM ready. I've looked at the Onkyo systems at CC and unfortunately the sales person there wasn't the most knowledgeable. We would be watching DVDs, HD from the cable box, and perhaps down the road want to add a game system. I also would like the option of plugging in my Ipod Video through my DLO dock, for both listening and video. What systems are out there that you'd recommend? I'm looking to spend $500-$600 for all of it, including DVD player. Also, would a separate DVD player be recommended rather than the all-in-one systems that include the DVD?
Thanks in advance!
