All I can tell you is what I have done for our living room. I got the Panny 42" ED 7UY and a Onkyo 6.1 HTIB. I just recently purchased the Sony 775 DVD player and I use dish network standard sat.
The DVD player I Use Component straight through to the Panny and optical audio to my receiver.
I use S-video for my Dish while it's not the best anymore would be a waste since it's standard sat anways.
I plan on getting an Xbox soon and will hook it up into the VGA port on the plasma. To this you need to get the component cables for the ps2 or xbox and then buy some female connectors which are really cheap. Then all you need is a vga to component cable and your in business without having to buy another input insert for your plasma and I don't think the 37" has an extra slot anyways.
In all I would say i spent about $3400 on the TV,DVD player and HTIB and cables. I ran Monster cables for speakers.
But the dvd/HTIB was only $800 estimated so you should have more than enough to get yourself a pretty sweet setup. While mines not the cream of the crop it's more than satisfied me for now.
Well that's until I can get a house with a basement and really go nuts. It never ends
