For the people like me, from the middle class HTIB is the best solution. This year I bought a ONKYO HT-S580 refurbhished from US at 180$ (8100 Rs approx.) , I\'m very much satisfied with the output of 600 Watt (not PMPO). points to be remember b4 selecting a HTIB.
* For 5.1 channel output and surround, connection between the DVD player and Home theater reciever should be of Optical or Co-axial connection,so choose DVD player which support these ouputs. * Cables should be a good quality, or else may not enjoy perfect Bass. * Check the size of the room for installation, bigger the better.
I did a analysis on the outputs from various DVD\'s and CD\'s from various parts of the world. The output from pirated CD\'s (imported from Srilanka, Pakistan and local stuff) will result in inferior sound quality and some times didn\'t even feel the surround effect. The original ones played very good and enjoyed the most.
