What are the best home theater system for a 1080p HDTV and blu-ray DVD player?

blu ray player for best results image

T J

I recently purchased a HDTV with 1080p and a blu-ray DVD player (PS3), and wonder what are home theater systems that would provide better outcomes at a reasonable cost (<$500). Do I need to buy a system or a receiver and separate speakers with capacity of 7.1 channel and HDMI 1.3 output?. Any recommendations on particular brand name and model?

Thanks ahead of time for your help!

Answer
The above answer will give you amazing sound, but that solution takes a lot of time and money. If you want a "quick fix" that yields entirely decent results, consider the Onkyo lineup of HT systems. It won't match up to the piece-by-piece assembly outlined by Robert P, but it will be a once-and-done expenditure that delivers admirable results. As long as you get a receiver with analog 5.1 or 7.1 inputs, HDMI 1.3 will not be as important. Especially if you do not buy a high-end system like the one described above, you would not really reap the benefits of having a 1.3 receiver.

Can I hook up a blu-ray player to an analog tv?

I have an old old (1995) 52 inch big screen that still has great picture quality and do not want to buy a new TV yet. Can I hook up a blu-ray player to it? Is there like a converter for the HDMI cable to analog? Or do Blu-Ray players comes with Standard Definition outputs?

Answer
Yes, you can connect your blu ray disc player to the old analog tv. You should have a component video input on your tv and either a coax cable or rca red and white jack for the audio connection. Use this cable for the best result on video and audio. If you have a surround sound connect the coax cable to the surround sound system for surround sound. Hope this will help you out.
