What is the difference between a DVD home theater system and a regular home theater system?

Difference between Home theater system and home theater component system?

  • Following information on sony wenbsite shows two different line of products 1. Home theater system 2. Home theater component system http://www.sony.co.in/productcategory/home-theatre-system I could not make out the difference between two even after reading the specification. can any one tell me the difference

  • Answer:

    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.

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.
