Germany Connecting my old boxed speakers

I hope this goes here. I also hope nobody here minds questions asked this way. If I'm wrong on those counts I apologise.

I currently have a 2-ish year old €200 DVD player + 5.1 passive speaker setup (Philips HTS3154, cheap all-in solution) connected to a pretty neat HD projector. I want to go Bluray, but I would like to do it as cheaply as possible, meaning I would like to keep the projector (of course) and, more importantly, the speakers too. I know they are pretty low-end, but they do it for me. Also rewiring the room is a pain I would like to avoid.

So here's my question: What's the cheapest way to replace just my DVD player and still connect my old passive (passive sub too!) 5.1 speakers? I have seen pretty cheap Bluray players with full analog chinch outputs. Will those do or isn't there any amplification with them? Do I have no choice but to buy an additional amplifier too? And what are the figures I have to pay for an amplifier that will go with my six speakers or alternatively a suitable Bluray player + amp combo? Do you know if Philips offers anything for my problem? I'd like to stick with Philips because of their excellent MPEG-4/.avi support.

Again, if this is the wrong place to ask this, I'm sorry. I don't want to waste anybody's time.
