I just bought a Samsung LN46A550 HDTV and need to select the appropriate hardware to make a good home theater system without later realizing I made some big mistakes. I don't have alot of space and so, have both my video and component audio stuff together in one spot. I use a Logitech Harmony to switch from TV to Movies to Music. I need to keep things that way.
I currently have a 5 channel home theater set-up with a Pioneer Elite receiver with Surround Sound and Am/Fm tuner and Pioneer Elite DVD, CD, SACD, DVD-Audio player. In addition, I have a '70 Kenwood KD 30-55 turntable in the system. I also have a cable box and a TiVo DVR. None of my stuff is HDTV compatible. I need good components, at the lowest price required to obtain them, to have HD TV, a 5-speaker set-up, a HD DVR/cable box, either a Blu-Ray-DVD-CD (and maybe SACD, DVD-Audio) player or use my Pioneer Elite all-disc player and a separate Blu-Ray player, and finally, keep my turntable. I like TiVo alot and understand that their HD models can actually replace my cable box. Maybe that's would be a good choice for DVR?
Anyway, what do you all recommend in order to do what I would like to do?
