Have a look at this post here. I suggest you stay away from Sony completely for HTIB systems. They use strange connections and as David already sad if one piece of equipment fails you will have to replace all of it. It also gives you no flexibility to upgrade anything down the road including the speakers.

How large is the room your going to use this system in? Do you have a budget?

Are you located in Canada or the US? For a small room The Onkyo 5100 is a fantastic system. You would still need a DVD player but they are inexpensive. US price, Canadian price
