New Surround Sound System

[Guest]

I currently have a Hitachi rear projection Tv...about a year old

I want to hook up a Surround Sound system to it, so I can get my TV sound through it

I also have a cable box from my cable company and a ps3 to hook up

When looking for a System, what are the key features that I NEED to have?

Do I have to buy a system that has 2 HDMI inputs and 1 HDMI outputs? or can I get one with just a HDMI output?

I really confused on what to get, i dont want to spend a arm and a leg for one....i just want one that will sound good and work with what i have?

Thanks for any help!

Are you looking for a complete sound system or just a reciever? How big the room you are going to be using the system?

Numbers always good to know. It's hard to recomend something when no numbers to work on.

The logetech Z5500 speakers are very capable spekers with DTS decoder and builtin Amplifier for good price. If that isn't what you have in mind then what's your budge?

Check these systems:

My room is going to be 20x13........I want a complete system...i have about $400 to spend....give or take a bit

Since I will have a ps3 hooked to it...along with my cable box/maybe a blue-ray player....do i need 2 HDMI inputs?? Or is there a way around it...

I want surround sound for sure when watching TV and playing PS3.....if the system has a built in DVD player...then that will work...

So i guess im mostly wanting to know a good system for my price...and the one with the right specs...because alot of them that I have been looking at only have a HDMI output....or 1 input and 1 output?

Thanks

This site post that the Onkyo HT SR800 have 2 HDMI input and 1 HDMI out. So if uncertain, check the Onkyo HT-S5100 link below.
