Page 1 of Packard Bell Theatre System ???

Hi all,
This is my first visit to this Forum, so I`m sorry if these topics have been discussed B4.

1/ I bought a Packard Bell Theatre System for my TV viewing.
Is there anyone out there that has the same kit for the same purpose please ? as you know, the Owners Booklet dosn`t cover a great deal, & I think that I`m missing some basic info.

2/ I`m considering buying a DVD Recorder but am not clear of what these things will record/decode/playback ! I watch mainly terrestrial TV & VCR, with a bit of Freeview & a few DVDs.
If I record from TV (rf) source (Terrestrial or Freeview), can I play back in 5.1 using the P.B system as above ?

3/ If the P.B system isn't man enough,,,, what is another, entry level kit that I ought to consider ?

Thanks all
Furkin

You should have asked before buying matey.

Depends on your budget and size of viewing room on what would be suitable for you.

Buying a dvd recorder is a matter of personal choice but, after saying that, a lot of people rate the Panasonic E55 and E85. Again it depends on your budget.

As for playing back in 5.1. How many programmes are broadcast in 5.1? Is your freeview box capable of decoding 5.1? I think you`ll find that it is not an issue worth worrying about at the moment. ;)
