Default would there be any compatibility issues if i went ahead and bought these two

thinking about getting this 3d tv http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-LE40...0574086&sr=8-2
it will be my first hd and it gets decent reviews as a normal tv as well as a 3d t.v i want a 3d blu-ray home cinema to go with it but the samsungs all seem to be tallboy speakers which i dont want so i saw this ,seems a good price for 3d blu ray home cinema

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-BDVE370...0574430&sr=1-2

so would there be any compatibility issues seen as its new technology ,or if i just bought the samsung dvd player http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-BD-C6900-Channel-Blu-ray-Player/dp/B003KZK7RS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1280574720&sr =1-1
what would be the cheapest way to turn that into 5.1 home cinema

thanx for looking

As you are thinking of spending serious money here, you will probably be better off looking at the Samsung TV and the Samsung Blu-ray Player to match.

Then source a decent AV Receiver and a 5.1 Speaker package. These extra items will not be cheap, but they will be far superior to an all-in-one package, like the Sony and will give you the options of adding other components to your system, via additional HDMI Inputs.

I would say tou need to budget a minimum of £600-££700 for an entry level AV Receiver and 5.1 Speakers.

As I think you are in the US, I can't recommend websites etc., but wait for Van to pop by and I'm sure he will have some recommendtions.

OK, have a look at Superefi and Peter Tyson and see what you like the look of.
Then post back and I'm sure Van or I can help you further
Onkyo make good AV Receivers and you get a lot for your money.
Sometimes you will find special deals for an AV Receiver and 5.1 Speakers, if bought together.
