Hello.
I've been thinking of buying a flatscreen tv as well as the home theater system required.

I've been thinking of going with the Samsung LN40A530 for the tv.
I'm currently undecided on the home theater system.

So, the receiver will need an HDMI output for the TV.

Since i'd like to plug a ps3 as well as my pc in the system, so i can play/use my pc.
PS3 requires HDMI if my memory is right, and my pc has either svideo or hdmi.
Thus, i'd require 2 HDMI input (or 1 hdmi and 1 svideo). Am I correct?

This leads to my second point: recommendation.
I want a home theater system with 5.1 surround sound with 1 output and at least 2 input for my pc and ps3.

Since i'm in a small appartment, I don't need loud speakers. Less than 1000w is more than acceptable in my case. I'd also need to be able to control the bass and treble (as some sound system doesn't seem to offer that option.)

What would you recommend?

Thanks for your time and help

Max

Welcome to the forum.  There's a section on TV's that can answer your TV question(s).  There's a section on Receivers for those questions.

In my opinion, you don't want a receiver that allows you to control bass and treble.  You want a receiver with an automatic calibration system that will set your tone controls (or in my case a 3 band EQ) based on your speakers and room acoustics.
