Hi

I am looking for some advice please. I currently own a Panasonic SA-HT530 All in one surround system and I am looking to purchase either the Toshiba HD-EP30 or the Toshiba HD-EP35.

Are these HD DVD players compatible with this surround sound system for 5.1 sound as it does not have optical.

Also is the Panasonic SA-HT530 compatible with Sky + for 5.1 sound ?

TIA

no.
in this systems case,no optical means no 5.1 from any input.

Are there any all in one products currently or due to be released onto the marketplace that will be either HD-DVD or Blu Ray ?

As my existing Panasonic SA-HT530 system does not have an optical in - I seem to very limited in surround sound connectivity options i.e. SKY+ OR Sky HD or HD-DVD Blu Ray.

Any recommended all in one systems that are quite future proof ?
