Pardon my ignorance....whats the difference between the Sony HTSF1300 and DAVDZ860
I'm a buffoon when it comes to things like this....to me it looks like they do exactly the same things....is this correct or am I a grade A muppet?

The 1300 is a better option but you would need a DVD player to connect to

Why would this be better?
Would the 1300 upscale DVDs from a standalone DVD player?
Sorry for my stupidity....I'm new to all this!!

Re: Pardon my ignorance....whats the difference between the Sony HTSF1300 and DAVDZ86
Didnt want to start a new thread, so I'll ask here. If I purchase a SONY HTSF1300, would I be able to plug the speakers into a seperate amp instead of the one supplied?

You could but you would need an 'active' SUB, the one in the sony 1300 package is 'passive'
Better off buying just a speaker package to go with a separates amp

Re: Pardon my ignorance....whats the difference between the Sony HTSF1300 and DAVDZ86
Thanks for the reply.
I plan on buying a Sony 5300ES amp to plug all my stuff into. Do you know where I could buy the same speakers that are on the HTSF1300 seperately?
Thanks again.

I dont think you can buy them seperately, have a look here for speaker deals
