I have researched very carefully to find you the most economically and best rated Blu ray home theater. I actually found a few. Here is the first one. I recommend this advanced surround sound processing section is powered by two 32 bit floating point DSP chips, and features the highest resolution surround decoding, including Dolby True HD, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-HD Master Audio, along with a full suite of additional surround decoding functions. The powerful seven channel amplifier section features 115 watts of power per channel, and provides the choice of driving a 5.1 channel system in the main room, with another stereo speaker pair in another room with independent source selection. The advanced video section features four v1.3a HDMI inputs, along with four additional wideband component video inputs, with Faroudja DCDi video processing and up-conversion that allows a single component or HDMI cable run to the HDTV. The AVR-2809CI is one of the first to feature Audyssey Dynamic Volume, which automatically eliminates irritating jumps in volume between TV shows and commercials, as well as Audyssey Dynamic EQ to ensure rich bass and smooth tonal balance, even at low volume levels. For optimum audio fidelity, the Audyssey MultEQ in-room acoustic correction system measures the overall room response at up to eight measurement points and tailors the sound for the most natural tonal balance everywhere in the listening space.

The second one I recommend because it plays high definition disc: 720p/1080i/1080p signals available through HDMI output; 720p/1080i signals available through HDMI or component video), 720p/1080i/1080p video up conversion for DVD (up converted video available through HDMI output only),bit stream audio output via HDMI for Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD, and DTS-HD Master Audio, rigid construction with dual-layered top shields and triple-layered bottom shields, newly designed disc mechanism protects against magnetic influences, dust, and external vibration . Enjoy!

The Sony BDP-S350 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player is a good choice because it has Dolby TrueHD decoding built-in Dolby TrueHD /DTS-HD bitstream out over HDMI (V1.3) and has Bravia Sync for Easy Connectivity. You could also try the Samsung BD-P1500 1080p Blu-ray Player with full HD 1080p Output for Blu-Ray Discs and selectable DVD Upconversion to 1080p along with an ethernet connection lets you easily check for the latest firmware upgrades online. Another one is the Sony BDP-S550 1080p Blu-ray Player with Dolby True HD/DTS-HD decoder built-in with 7.1ch out and a quick start up mode.
