Christiane Cattano: a dvd home entertainment system is one where the dvd player is built into the receiver. i recommend against this. now the home entertainment component(or core) system requires a dvd player to be hooked into it. i do recommend this. just because if the dvd player breaks you are out a couple hundred bucks to replace. where if just the dvd breaks on a component system, you only have to replace your player instead of your whole system.
Keneth Mailhot: An HTIB is basically a DVD player with speakers, in that most often it only plays digital surround only from the DVD, and only analog matrix/Dolby PL surround from its only stereo RCA in. The speakers are matched to and made specifically for the DVD system, including subwoofer amplification. A proper component system you buy your choice of components separately. The receiver has all sorts of analog and digital inputs, better ones with HDMI and A/V switching. The r! eceiver amplifies for the surround channels, but you use a subwoofer that has its own amplifier built in. You choose your own speakers, wires, and DVD/Blu-Ray player individually from the receiver....Show more
Jackelyn Archut: First of all you can't trust Sony for specs. They rate some of their amps at 10%THD. A good amp is rated at 0.05%THD.Aside from that a component system has separate components not everything crammed into one box. A component system will have at the least a DVD player, a receiver, a five speaker system, and a sub-woofer. Not to mention a display. A HTIB (home theater in a box) has everything crammed into one unit creating cooling problems and usually using cheaper parts. Component systems sound far better than HTIBs.Also while Sony makes some pretty good displays they make lousy audio equipment. Hope this helps. You might want to visit some AV forums like AVS forum or Home Theater Shack and learn a bit more about AV equipment....Show more
