What is the difference between a DVD home theater system and a regular Home Theater System?
Question by Mr. Unknown: What is the difference between a DVD home theater system and a regular Home Theater System?
I just bought a DVD home theater system and haven’t set it up yet and was wondering if there’s any big difference, or is it just that one can play DVd’s and the other cant?

You have made the right assumption this unit you bought has a built in DVD player where as the other ones are simply a receiver and speaker set-up. Personally a lot of these systems are cheap and sound crappy
you would be better off taking it back tell them it isn’t what your looking for and get yourself a receiver and speaker system and seperate DVD player. I would recommend looking at the Onkyo all in one systems
7.1, 1200watt system, with a 290 watt powered subwoofer.

Fundamentally yes.
To expand though, the DVD home Theater systems are made to be turnkey systems for those that don’t expect a lot. They players tend to be rather basic players, and the surround a rather basic surround.
A real HT receiver has more inputs and surround options, and lets you choose what DVD player you get.

DVD Home Theater system is a DVD with amp built-in and another is a DVD with a seperate receiver ( some not included DVD player ). If you have lots of devices like cable box, DVD player, PS3 or X box, you need a regular Home Theater to connect audio cables to receiver.
