Total novice here...I am looking into purchasing an HITB system with a budget of $400. One thing I worry about is not having enough input/outputs since many reviews of budget HTIBs say they lack inputs/outputs. How many inputs/outputs will I need to connect with an HDTV, Blu-Ray DVD, and X Box? What are the best types of connections? |

In a pinch, the HDTV will have enough video inputs, and you would want enough inputs to accomodate the digital audio outputs of your stuff---Blu-ray, xbox, and cable box. As you say, most cheap HTiBs don't have that many.
A better situation would be to have a real audio/video receiver (AVR) so that it could act as the "hub" of your system. That's why I like the Onkyos. Check this out for $420.

And to think they charge $4000 for this.
