I would be more worried about the bad home theater system then the blu-ray player. Both the SS and the SF 2000 are only pass through hdmi. They do not pass the audio signal to the speakers you still need an optical cable for the sound and this prevents you from using the lossless sound avialable on the blu-rays. I would go with a onkyo 605 which is fast dropping in price because of the 606 and get a a speaker package for about 300 dollars. This will put you in the same price range as the sony HTIB systems you are looking at but provide a muh richer experiance.
