I think his requirement is more inclined towards having a remote control which is fair because getting up in the middle of a movie and adjusting volume is very irritating and usually, one faces this scenario very often. You should probably go ahead with M3500 but do take a demo and satisfy yourself before buying as I have never experienced M3500. Also, I must admit that the remote which comes with DA5000 pro is very responsive (unlike stupid tata sky+ remote).

Btw, Do you have any suggestions or workaround to make 5.1 actually work the way they are meant to?
Am enclosing a pic of ports and jacks.

On seeing the pics, your TV has digital/optical out..

So if your speakers have in-built decoder(i.e, if it has optical I/P) like this,

U'll be able to get the 5.1 surround... Hope this helps..

Or u need a digital decoder to convert the digital signals to analog...

Ok, here are the connections in my TV. So, I can also make use of the 5.1 properties of the Digital/Optical Output and HDMI connections too?

Now I'm wondering if I will ever be able to find a speaker set that has these connectivity options for my budget. Someone advices me to get an 'Assembled Amplifier' from the local bazaar to connect any 5.1 speaker system to the TV and enjoy surround-sound. This is getting more complicated by the day!

Thank you MegaMind for the input and sorry for responding late as I was totally into diwali shopping/celebrations. Now, the thing is, the speakers I have doesn't have optical input (5.1 Multimedia Home Theater Speaker - DA5000 Pro | Edifier). All it supports is
1.) PC Input (2 RCA Left,Right)
2.) Analog Input (2 RCA Left,Right)
3.) 5.1 Channel Input (6 RCA.. LeftFront, Right Front, Left Rear, Right Rear, Center and Subwoofer)

Q1. If I buy a digital decoder, will the output get better or at least equivalent to as if connected to 5.1 channel PC sound card?
Q2. Do you know of some online shop where I can find a good digital decoder
Q3. If I buy a Dvd/bluray player (with 5.1 output) and attach it to the tv, will I get audio even if I play media through some other source like HDD/USB/PC/DTH

I am really confused at this moment and want this to work so that I can move on to other problems. A little help would be much appreciated.

1. Digital Decoders are way better than PC sound cards.
2. I wouldn't advise getting it online.
3. Dvd/bluray player (with 5.1 output) to 5.1 speakers = True 5.1 surround..

Can u elaborate what exactly are you trying to do? i'e, connecting 5.1 speakers to ?

I want this 5.1 system to work with TV as its default audio output source, so whatever I play, the sound should come out of this 5.1 system.

Is it possible with 5.1 enabled dvd/bluray player?

From what I understand... Dvd/bluray > Digital Decoder > PC Sound Card
Correct?

You can get True 5.1 when speakers are connected to 5.1 o/p of DVD/Bluray player. But when u connect 5.1 speakers with TV, u wont get True 5.1 but there will be o/p through all the speakers n sub.

Digital Decoder > PC Sound Card

My question is, If I connect this 5.1 system only with Dvd/Bluray Player and always keep it that way, will I get output from them even if I play content from Tata Sky, HDD/USB (connected to TV), more briefly, will this 5.1 act as a default sound output for TV when connected to Dvd/Bluray?

If your DVD player has a passthrough feature then yes it'll work. But I haven't come across any as yet.
