Then pick the one with the best features, controls that you like, BUT not stuff you'll never use. At this $$ range it's pretty much all the same in terms of sound quality.Although my advice is to save your money & build the system piece by piece with the best individual components you can. Look for used stuff. Yes, dolby digital is great, but you can appreciate dolby pro logic for a good long while as you research what gets you hot & bothered enough to get your hard earned cash. In the end you will be far happier. Instant gratification is seldom satisfying.
I agree with Marcus - good sound advice (just realised the inadvertently good pun here).
I figure there is too much hype re Dolby Digital. Done by the book that centre speaker precludes the room for good audio listening (as does most equipment designed for it). I'm very happy with pro logic for movies, turn it down or off for intensive musical listening - Nirvana!!!
Enjoy.
