What is a good DVD home theater system?

Question

I was looking to replace an RCA home theater system that has recently gone bad, and I'm kinda stumped on what/where to buy. What I'm looking for in a system is:

-Has to be a complete home theater system (DVD player, etc.)
-I want to be able to plug in my PS2 and soon to have PS3 (Not at same time)
-TV connectivity - I have DISH Network and it's fed through coax cable, so I definately want to watch TV with surround sound (Most important!)
-I want something that can last a good 5 years or so (reliable)
-Space available is a dresser, about 18"-20" wide
-The TV I currently own has only a single input, which is a coax connector (Plan to upgrade to some sort of Plasma/LCD TV in the future, but might not be until next year..so must work with the current TV)
-Speakers must be wall mountable (Except subwoofer and center)
-Wireless subwoofer would be a huge plus!
-Price range is $350 and less
-Prefer black/silver colored system

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank

This is what I found based on your criteria. This is one of the few all-in-one systems that have more than one digital audio input. This will allow you to connect your PS2/PS3 and your Dish network to your surround sound system using digital audio (which is what you'll want).

Most of these systems do not have coaxial output anymore. What you'll need to get is this:

I am a professional in the field of audio/video and can tell you that I have had a Sony all-in-one and loved it before I upgraded it to a
component system.

Hope this helped!

You will struggle to find a HTiB that has both a digital audio input and a coax output to connect to your old TV. Get an RF modulator to add on to your HTiB (available at Best Buy, Radio Shack, etc for $10 to $20) and you will have lots more choices.

In That price range try a home theater in a box by Sony, Panasonic or onkyo they are good for the money plus you'll have plenty of input and the speakers are not big so they could go on the wall

Answer 4

350.00 or less you'll need to look for a HTIB setup...in electronics you pretty much get what you pay for. I'd save a few more bucks (since you still have a setup) and shop around - any of the chain stores or even eBay will give you what you need. I am not aware of any wireless subwoofers, if there are they would be out of your price range.
