What surround system?

[hopper1]

I've just bought a Panasonic TH42PZ81B, but I don't know what surround to get!

I don't game, so it will be used for occasional movies only.

Do I need to get a 5.1, or will a simple 2.1 (Sony DAV F-200) do the job?

This is our first foray into big TV's etc, and I really don't have a clue.

I don't mind spending the money, but I don't want to waste it!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Think carefully before you do anything as if you only only going to use for movies occasionally you probaably wont really need 5.1 surround . If your TVs new then wait a month and see how many movies you watch before deciding.

5.1 Surround sound is absolutely brilliant, but it's not worth spending loads of money on if you dont need it.

I cant advice on the Sony as I know nothing about it.

Just noticed your TVs got freesat so see how much HD you watch as well as some of this is in surround and may influence your choice.
