Difference between Home theater system and home theater component system?

answers1: Home Theatre Shack
answers2: 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. <br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
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.
answers3: An HTIB is basically a DVD player with speakers, in that
most often it only plays digital surround only from the DVD, and only
analog matrix/Dolby PL surround from its only stereo RCA in. The
speakers are matched to and made specifically for the DVD system,
including subwoofer amplification. A proper component system you buy
your choice of components separately. The receiver has all sorts of
analog and digital inputs, better ones with HDMI and A/V switching.
The receiver amplifies for the surround channels, but you use a
subwoofer that has its own amplifier built in. You choose your own
speakers, wires, and DVD/Blu-Ray player individually from the
receiver.
answers4: 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.
