Question by achilles19282: Can a DVD Home theater system be connected to BlueRay player, Cable and Xbox later on?
I’m looking for a basic and cheaper home theater system that would do surround sound for DVD player, BlueRay player, Xbox, PS3 and my laptop. Any suggestions? Will these normal DVD home theater systems do that?
@The One: Thanks for the answer. So, I should buy a receiver with speakers and not a dvd home theater. But what about TV? Will TV (from normal antennas etc) connect to that receiver for surround sound?

Yes and No.
If you simply want to connect you laptop and Xbox, etc and have “regular” quality, most hometheatres with a RECEIVER support that. However, not all of them support HDMI for PS3 and Blu-ray. Therefore you have to make sure you get one of those that can. However, those do not come with a dvd player. They only come with a Blu-Ray drive OR they come as a receiver with speakers that you can connect to your own dvd or blu-ray. So you cannot get a DVD hometheatre, but you can get a standalone homethatre with a receiver. (Sony makes bunch of those that are Blu-ray compatible, check their website)
==EDIT==
Yes it would. But you are likely to not get a 5.1 surround sound. Only HD TV channels provide a 5.1 audio. For the rest you will get a stereo audio coming from your 5 speakers (or the front 2 if you set it that way).

For example: Sony HT-SF2300. This model may be a bit old now, but it is what you need in the price range you want it to be. Something like this should be good.

I bought it on balck friday for 0, it has a single dvd. I wanted to buy the one with 5 disc dvd because the bass was better but my dad didn’t want it. It has anynet and it’s wireless ready. I like the way it looks, what I don’t like is the subwoofer.

Yes a TV can connect to the receiver either with RCA jacks (red and white cables) or a digital audio output (optical output or coaxial output)
that is of course if your TV has these outputs
some good stand alone receivers are Onkyo, Yamaha, and Pioneer Elite (I own Yamaha) and some good speakers are Energy Take, Klipsch, Paradigm, and Polk (I’m interested in Energy Take or Klipsch, pending budget when I can upgrade lol)
