Which Kit for My Projector?

[garyhun]

Have just purchased a Sharp Z200 Projector for my Home Cinema. I am now needing a 5.1 speaker system with DVD/AMP. The room is all pre-cabled.

I am willing to spend upto £400.

What do you suggest?

Thanks....Gary

Sony DAV700, can be got for £400 or so. It has optical, and coax in, and is a cracking DVD Player, andalso rear wireless speakers.

thanks ash

as a total newbie what are the optical and coax in's used for??? If this is dum and I should look this up elsewhere just tell me

Its so you can connect say DVD Players, Xbox360, Xbox, PS2, PS3 etc to it to get 5.1 sound.
If you plan to use the above, its worth getting. Also if you plan to buy a HD DVD or Blu Ray Player, it will be useful so you can get 5.1 sound from them.

Many thanks. I will only have this sytem for about 12 months tops and it will stay in the house when I sell - I will spend more in the next property - so I guess the DAV500 will be adequate for now.

no get the yamaha av57 and a good dvd player/recorder - much better sound if space allows!
