Onkyo HT-SP908 Home-Theater-in-a-Box (HTIB)

Onkyo HT-SP908 Home Theater in a Box (Video Junkie, $1,000 and Under)

The movie buff in your family would certainly appreciate the new HT-SP908 Home Theater In a Box (HTIB) from Onkyo. Bonus points if said film fanatic also happens to have a soft spot for over-the-top tech. The feature list on the receiver alone makes this package a steal in the $750-$850 price range.

First of all, it's the first HTIB system to have state-of-the-art HDMI 1.3 connectors, which allow for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio playback (the latest and greatest versions of those sound processing standards). The built-in upscaling for all video sources makes sure regular DVDs, standard def TV shows, and home videos look HD-esque and top notch. It's also XM and Sirius satellite radio ready (you just need to get a subscription), and it has an integrated iPod dock. The included DVD player handles not only your standard DVDs and CDs, but also Windows Media, DivX, MPEG 4, and MP3 files. And let's not forget about the 7.1 90-watt-per-channel wall-mountable speakers.

This HTIB can handle just about anything you throw at it, just look at all those logos!

Essentially, it's a state-of-the-art home theater system for less than $1,000! Any one who wouldn't appreciate getting this for the holidays is obviously not playing with a full deck.

From Onkyo.
