I've been debating between the sony DAV-FX80 and the Panasonic SCHT930. The Sony looks much better, but lacks in the bass department. The panasonic seems to have better sound quality, a better loading system for the dvd player, and is cheaper. However, I'm not sure about digital input for 5.1 HD surround broadcasts.
the panasonic has no digital inputs... iirc the sony has 1 coax and 1 opt input
