David,

While I am not familiar with the Sharp unit, I can't help but imagine it is like the majority of bookshelf systems on the market. With such systems you are really limited in terms of expansion, overall quality is not the best - and when one section fails you toss the whole thing into the dumpster.

When on a tight budget, I recommend living with Dolby Pro Logic (where bargains are out there) or an entry level AC-3 receiver and a basic home theater speaker package to get your going. Then upgrade speakers as you can. Remember your DVD player will play CDs after all (so that would be a duplication) and if you listen to analog cassettes, decks are availible cheap to tide you over as that format fades away.

: Has anyone tried the Sharp CD-C492 mini system which includes a Dolby Digital processor? I'm thinking of getting one due to lack of space and cost factors, but am concerned about sound quality and ability to add my DVD, hi-fi VCR, PlayStation, and DSS to it. Let me know your opinions on it and also the best place to buy one, an internet site called Tek Gallery sells it for $499. Thanks!
