Default rate these two 5.1 systems.
Please help me out here....

Okay. My Monitor has audio Coaxial out. It does not have Optical output. But... my PS3 does. If I go with the samsung (bottom option), I will only get 5.1 from my PS3, games, Blurays and DVD's.

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...ndingMethod=rr

RCA 1000 Watts.
5.1
HAS Digital Coaxial
HAS Digital Optical

THIS Samsung, is also 1000 watts
5.1
Doesn't have Digital Coaxial - Can't take audio out from TV
HAS Optical - Can connect to PS3
And yeah it plays DVD's but I can't fit the HDMI connector into my TV. I just want this as a receiver. Not a DVD player for now anyway.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16882676096

The RCA does exactly what I want it to do, but everyone says RCA is a trash brand... Is this thing gonna sound like crap?

PS. I got the Samsung for a mere $150 on a black friday sale. I am not willing to buy converters to go from optical to digital unless someone can show me one for $5.00.

If you do go with the one from walmart, I can supply you with a 20 dollar off coupon I got from pay pal if you want to buy it online!

For the price, I'd go for the wally world one. That's a pretty sweet deal IMO.
