Thanks for the suggestions Frank. Along with the Sony STR50ES receiver and the 7700 DVD player I purchased the 32" Wega TV, a Sony CX555ES CD player, Polk 7700 speakers, and a Phillip Pronto. It is unbelievable that with all this Sony equipment not one of their remotes controls all of the functions. The Polk speakers sound awesome with the receiver. This is one great system but most of the credit and thanks goes to the people on audioreview.com and remotecentral.com for helping me select the right equipment. I've literally spent hundreds of hours reading the pros and cons of all sorts of equipment and knew the negatives as well as the positives before buying. You've also saved me hundreds of dollars by pointing me to the right places to shop. Now, if I can just convince my wife that all this money I spent was REALLY for her Christmas present. Thanks again.
