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.

What's the CHEAPEST way to send the 5.1 audio to my speakers?

I have a blu ray player with optical output. I have Logitech PC 5.1 Speakers with analog input. What's the cheapest way I can get the audio from the BD player to my speakers?

Answer
Connect the optical out to the TV and then RCA red and white out from the TV to the speakers...but it will only be in stereo..analog will not transmit 5.1 that must be done in digital with some kind of decoder.
