Most of us buy home theater system with criteria more the speakers better will be the output, if one has a DVD player & connects 5.1 ch system to but the DVD (like most of the indian movie DVDs) you play does not comes with audio encoding of 5.1 ch than does the 5.1 ch system worth?
Does 5.1 CH Home theater system worth buying?

There are 2 types of output anolog and digital
There 2 types of digital output - Coaxial and Optical
The anlog output requires the DVD Player to have inbuilt decoder to seperate the volume of each channel so as you said that you have seen
some players which have output for front speakers , rear , center , etc.
that is a anolog output.
Its not so that only Indian DVD Players have Anolog Output.
Its better to have one as not all go and purchase a 5.1 Speakers Set.
And its always good to have a Set of 5.1 Speakers that 2 Channel
[Stereo] Speakers just playa movie on 5.1 with all those beautilful
effects of sound they make you feel as if you were in that place ,
such a feeling cant be acheived with Stereo Speakers.
Well hope so that you have got ur answer

Well now 5.1 is required for those audienece who are fasinated with the actual concept of surround sound.....some of em who buy a home theater just for the sake of it arent aware of the fact that what surround sound actually is!! and just tend to expect it as another medium of blastin sound.....further more the 5.1 effect is obtained only if the Specific discs purachsed are encoded on the 5.1 based sound....like the original DTS 5.1 encoded DVD's and dun expect a 5.1 sound outta those stupid VCD's.....if ya have a Home theater then the joy of its use comes only on original stuff with DTS capabilities....8)
Also good 5.1 home theater systems have a grt deal of criteria like the bass reflection and power......the RMS ratings....the effective surround sound production....Effective Amp....satellite speakers...etc 8)
Also my recommendations for the ultimate in Home theater exp would be to Buy a Onkyo Model.....Trust me they rock and rock harddddd

go for 2.1 .. ull be better off
rather buy decent 2.1 speakers than messed up 5.1
there was a topic before on someone searching for 5.1 within 2k
the concept is ridiculous even if u manage to get one in that price
all substandard pieces !
even better .. get really good headphones
and no i aint kidding

I have used both and would go for the digital fiber optic AC3 system. It costs 4 times as much as the analogue ones. Only a few DVD players have the 5:1 analogue outs. Also remember, just because they are 5:1 or 7:1 etc does not really mean they are AC3 digital sounds. There is a huge difference. The best example would be the scene in Matrix where neo jumps out of the helicopter to catch Morpheus. With the AC3 you hear the blades and rain splattering on the glass of the chopper while in the other you hear the blades only. All this converting stereo to 5:1 etc are basically gimmicks. I mean why would anyone spend huge amounts of money to record 5:1 sounds when they can just do it in stereo and split it? 5:1 sounds also do not store the entire range of audio IE if mono is 100K file, stereo would be 200K, surround sound would be around 300K, AC3 5:1 would be 400K and DTS would be 600K. Just because something is LOUD does not make it a good sound system.
You have Dolby Optical Stereo, Dolby Digital, DTS, and SDDS so you can hear subtle differences. For most people they don't have the equipment or setup to matter. But when you do, it makes watching movies a fun experience.

Yep cheap 5.1 are really bad , they are not for people seeking quality . If u want a 5.1 ch sound in the "they also ran" category then buy them , If u have a good ear then u need to do some research . I have 2 home theater setups , 1 is a Sony one which i got for 26k and the other round 50k (with all the cables optical/coax) .
