Home theater for both TV & PC

I am looking out for a home theatre in the sub-20k range for my TV. Can I use it to listen to my 5 channel AV media in the HT system? IS it possible that I use the HTS for both PC & TV & what should I look for?

A vendor has prescribed me the Sony DAV DZ390. It sounded ok. But will it really play my 5.1 media in 5.1 style, each speaker giving individual sounds? What should I do to integrate both TV & PC in the speaker set.

Any suggestions as to how to go about? I 'm actually a 0 in electronics/electricals

Help me out here, guyz.

Try looking @ logitec or altec lancing home theater systems...'

If u can increased ur budget 5k more then there is onkyo and yamaha systems which rocks...'

Onkyo HT-S3200

i heard the onkyo 3200 but was not that impressed as much as the 5205. maybe because of the rooms setting & the 3200's passive subwoofer.
philips & sony too have got some configs in the sub-20k range... namely philips hts 3371 & sony DAV DZ390. i like philips all-round playability.. plays almost everything. sony DAV DZ390k is said to be the best in the sub-20k. What about these models?

Help me decide, guyz? Is it really worth to go for a Onkyo HTS3200 @ 5k plus without a DVD/Bluray player than a Sony DAV DZ390k?

In that case, why not buy Onkyo's amplifier and philips/sony speakers?

ppl help me decide if it's really worth to go for a Onkyo HTS3200 @ 25k & without a DVD/Bluray player than a Sony DAV DZ390k @ 19.5k? ppl who heard both please advice.

@koolbluez, it's ears that need to do the talking. Take a demo of both with couple of videos and decide which one your ears like

tried it, but the rooms they used for both changed. i was able to hear some sounds better in the Sony set. but all vouch for onkyo!
I wanted to connect with my PC too. Onkyo has a better system to give me max utility... for sony with pc it's just 5.1 sound, no dolby etc.. for onkyo with pc better suport to dobly/dts...
also i can justify that i can connect any player to onkyo... but sony has inbuild amp.. so i've to stay on it if i want amplifier too (cant upgrade/change player without compromising on amp)
I want another ear to share the onkyo/sony experience.

Check the next model S5200:

If you want an idea of where Onkyo’s home theater packages are heading, the HT-S5200 is well worth checking out.Like previous Onkyo 7.1-channel receiver/speaker packages, the HT-S5200 delivers reassuringly hefty amounts of power and all-round performance. And in line with other recent offerings, it’s also perfectly suited for high-definition entertainment in the home: 1080p video takes center stage from sources such as Blu-ray Disc, DVD, HD broadcasting, and gaming. The emphasis is still on Onkyo’s audio prowess, so the HT-S5200 is equipped with three groundbreaking Audyssey technologies that will give you the edge in terms of surround sound.It also features some exciting innovations from Onkyo: a dedicated port that connects the iPod via the Dock for the iPod and DSP modes specifically designed for gaming.

checked it yesterday... cant cough up 10k more now

only option Onkyo HTS3200 @ 25k or Sony DAV DZ390k @ 19.5k
Have to tell if onkyo model is worth the 5k more...

hmm. when you are getting a massive amp with wide array of connectivity options, yes. it is worth the extra 5k.
