I got it RM2800.

I bought a old (but new) Pioneer 5.1 DTS model at a retail outlet for 150 USD. Now, there were two reasons why I wanted this model -- 1. The price 2. It has frontal surround sound (bounces off the wall so I don't have to bother with wiring) 3. It has a DIGITAL INPUT.

This is so important because all the new pioneer models no longer have a digital input because they are trying to cut costs.

All Sifus,

Im looking for a 5.1 ch surround system. Currently, my Samsung LCD is connected to my PS3 via HDMI and to my normal DVD via the normal connectors that came with it.

Im currently looking at the HITBs - Sony DAV-DZ555k, Pioneer PIO-HTZ555 or the Pioneer PEE-HTP2700. Alternate will be the Logitech 5500 (which means I will still use my old DVD player). Budget <RM1.8k.

I know i should connect my PS3 to the HTIBs / Logitech via optical input. Tapi kalau ada HDMI in pun boleh kan ie:

LCD TV -> PS3 (HDMI) -> HTIBs / Logitech?

My grouse like most of u is that the newer HTIBs don't have optical input.

Having the PS3 is a blast, but getting the best value for money 5.1 ch surround system is quite pening lah for me. Pls advise.

Thanks.
