Question by Craig Rosenoch: Is there a home theater system in the vicinity of like 0 that will allow a TV, and PS3 hookup?
I have a TV, and a PS3, and was wondering if there was a home theater system that didn’t cost like 0 for normal 5.1 Surround.
I actually would like to specify, I much prefer HDMI over anything else, so try to focus on that as the primary need.

I live in UK and am looking to buy a 5.1 home theater system. My budget is max. £2000. I would like the best sound and system within this price range. I’ve not yet decided on the TV & DVD/Blu-ray player, so would like to buy a system which is compatible with all leading brands.

Question by Crizpy: With the RCA home theater system, would it be possible to add extra things to it like a videogame console?
I just got an RCA home theater system, I was wondering if it was okay to put my XBOX 360 audio wires in the back of the home theater system so I could play the 360 with surround sound?

Model # of the RCA would help, but the answer most likely is yes, read your RCA manual about how to hook-up auxiliary devices like a video game system.

This comes directly from the link you provided:
“The HT-BD1250 is “wireless rear speaker ready,” meaning that you need to purchase the additional SWA-4000 accessory to enable wireless rear speaker functionality. Like virtually all wireless speaker systems, you still need to run speaker wires from the SWA-4000 to your rear speakers, but at least you won’t have to run speaker wires from the front of your home theater to the back. (We did not have the SWA-4000 on hand, so we were not able to test this functionality.) ”
So no it’s not wireless. If it is it will say so. It’s a selling point…

Question by Johndabr: I would like to put together a home theater system, but …?
I would like to put together a home theater system, but in a modular style, in other words not purchasing “A” system, but piece by piece. In theory this should be easy, but I would also like to keep a wireless rear/side speaker set up. Any suggestions on how I might be able to do that and keep the wattage for the rear/side speakers and sub-woofer to a nice level? It is OK for me to wire the front three speakers, but the sub-woofer and the satellite speakers I would like to be wireless, or as wireless as I can get them; I understand I will have to connect the speaker/sub-woofer to a power source and receiving device. I would also like to make it upgradable if possible, in other words make a base 5.1 system and after I recover from that investment, purchase another speaker/signal receiver system to make it a 6.1 and then up to a 7.1 as I can.
Now I can find wireless speaker systems, but the ones that I have found have all come in two’s with a sub-woofer and that posses several problems. First is the extra cost for sub-woofers that I do not want and they do not appear to be able to be set up with a home theater system to take the different channels of a 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1 receiver. Plus the watts that most of them put out are just a joke, unless you get into the thousands and if I had that much I would not be here asking these questions, I would hire someone to do it for me lol.
Now ideally I would like to purchase one receiver, one transmitter (that would transmit the; up to, 5 remote signals{really 4.1, the sub-woofer is in that}) and two signal-receivers that I could have the option to purchase speakers for at that time if I could afford them or use speakers that I already have until I could afford good one,… if that is impossible I would like to be able to purchase just the two speaker/signal-receiver with a sub-woofer signal-reciever setup with the ability to expand as I could afford more speaker/signal-receiver setups.
Next best idea would be to be able to purchase one receiver and one transmitter for each speaker or sub woofer/signal-receiver setup that I needed at the time and be able to upgrade it as I went along.
Is that possible at all, while still keeping the watts to a nice level? I would like at least a 1000 system, more if I can get it, and of course if it is, how?

Hello John!
It appears you are nearly as detail oriented as I am… I hope this means you will read everything I have to write!
First… “Wireless” is a misnomer in speaker parlance. You have 1 of 2 options for “wireless” speakers… Totally wireless, meaning you need to have a set of charged batteries at ALL times to ensure your surround speakers are capable of supporting the rest of the system on an average of every 8 hrs. EVERY DAY!(aka, E X P E N S I V E ! ! !) ORrrrrrrr….. You have your “wireless” surround speakers plugged into the wall…. (aka NOT very wireless!) If you can justify the cost of daily replacement of batteries, or you can see yourself free of the “not really wireless” argument, then I need speak no further… however, if you are a discerning listener of audio products… (aka You like music!) then none of these options will be acceptable! Why? Because wireless also means encode/broadcast/receive/decode delays which can put the wireless speakers out of phase with your wired speakers. What does that mean? Well, in Gladiator for instance, the first scene with the trebuchet’s and flaming artillery, the first volley of flaming arrows will sound spectacular as they launch, but as they fly through the air, requiring the rear speakers to keep pace with the fronts to allow a sense that the arrows are passing through space in your listening environment, the rears would actually be far enough behind the fronts that it might sound as if the archers had launched 2 volleys (which isn’t the case) because the front speakers sent a signal first.. the rear speakers waited patiently for their signal, and by the time they received it, the front speakers had already moved on to the next thing…. That is just ONE example of HUNDREDS I could offer as to why “wireless” speakers are NOT worth the money wasted on them!
The money you would waste on a “adequate” wireless speaker system would be MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH M U C H better spent on a lower end WIRED speaker system from a brand know in the industry for their fidelity and quality of construction (dozens come to mind but Klipsch, Boston Acoustic, Vienna Acoustic, Definitive Technology, and MANY others!!!) will serve you FAR better!
Notice I have NEVER ONCE mentioned bose (notice I DON’T capitalize their brand… it’s for good reason, TRUST ME!) because they DO NOT make a quality speaker, and their wireless technology (which is no doubt what got you on this discussion in the first place!) is shoddy at best, and attrocious at worst, is beyond the scope of this discussion!
In short, spend LESS money, get a BETTER system, and FAR BETTER sound by investing in a quality 5-6-7.1 WIRED surround system, and spend the additional money on having someone hide/route the wires for you in an inconspicuous way! It TRULY is for the best that
1) you DO NOT invest in a wireless speaker system, and….
2) you DO NOT invest in a hybrid audio system with both wired AND wireless speakers!!!!!!
It may not be the answer you seek, but if you value your audio listening experience, you would do best to heed my advice as it is born of MUCH experience!
