Sorry for the large price range. I am doing some legwork for a friend and not sure how much she is willing to spend. I have some general questions:
1. Is it important that I get a receiver that has Dolby, DTS, THX, Dolby Prologic etc?
2. Am I better off getting brands like Sony, JVC, Onkyo etc or investing in a complete home theater system from Polk or Bose?
3. Can anyone recommend a DVD player that sounds decent for audio CDs as well? Price range $200-$600.
4. Her TV is an older Sony. How many and what jacks would she need on the TV to set all this up? Will she have to buy A/V switcher?
Thanks.
