Need some help on All in one System

[admin_exported]

Hi,

Im new to the forum but have been reading a lot of the posts and found them very informative but needed to ask a few questions.

I have just built my own media center with a 32" HDTV with this sound card:-

I would like a AIO system which i can also hook up to my PC to watch the films on there and to listen to the music. (Currently have a free view box but will be getting either sky standard or sky+ in the new year).

I'm currently looking at these four systems. Are these suitable to both hook up and get the best quality both visiually and sound wise?

Samsung HT-TX35R - DVD 5.1 Home Cinema System - With HDMI

Sony HTSS1100

Have you thought about changing your PC see this one

And only £630, I'm a Mac man but even I feel tempted just for the features.

On another note, the HTSS1100 looks like the best bet until they release the HT-SS2000 although that may break the bank.

ive only just built my HTPC and infact i have that LG Drive.

i have narrowed it down to these two AIO's

Your problem would be connecting the system you pick with your Sky box. If you pick Sky + it has an optical out but I don't think that the Sony packages you mention do. In that case, value wise, I would go for the Panasonic (assuming that has optical). However, if you have standard Sky, you won't get digital surround sound when watching Sky. Well that's my thoughts anyway.

Ive decided on the JVC TH-D50.....i would of liked the D60 but i cannot find it for sale anywhere in the UK.

Here are the connections of the D50 (the UK version includes scart x1)

Here is the Sky + box ive ordered

Heres my sound card

Heres the connections of my TV

I presume this will all hook up fine?

I don't know about the sound card but the optical digital on the JVC (bottom right) will connect to the Sky box (number 8) to give you digital surround 5.1 from Sky.
