building your best home theater with quality components image

What music properties differ in both Home theatres?
Answer
I see you are posting a few questions on this, the answers you are getting are correct but perhaps not explaining it well enough. The difference between these two is irrelevant because they are both so useless as home theatre systems that any difference is reduced to insignificance. The sound quality on both will be horrendous for both music and movies.
Another issue with these or any all in one HTiB system is the lack of versatility. If you want to connect other sources, you will not be able to do this. Also, if the disc player or any single component in these systems fail you have to throw the entire system in the trash. No you can't keep the speakers and use them on something else because they will not be compatible with "real" audio equipment.
Here on Yahoo answers we get questions like this frequently and it allows us to help people like you avoid mistakes. We also frequently get questions by those having already made the mistake of buying a system like these. Unfortunately we can't help those people, we have to tell them to put the system in the trash and start over.
The only correct way to put together a home theater system is to buy individual components. This takes a little more work and it does cost more but you will get a better more versatile system in the end. It also enables you to build a system over time as budget allows. You can start with as little as three items, an AVR, a pair of main speakers, and a BluRay player. You can then add a subwoofer, center speakers and surround speakers.
Here is a starting point that keeps cost low, this is not going to be a great system but it will be far superior to the HTiB options you are considering...
AVR http://www.crutchfield.com/p_033AVRE200/Denon-AVR-E200.html
Main Speakers http://shop.emotiva.com/collections/speakers/products/xrm41
BluRay Player http://www.crutchfield.com/p_158BDP1100/Sony-BDP-S1100.html
Later add a subwoofer... http://www.crutchfield.com/p_107PSW108/Polk-Audio-PSW108.html
A center speaker... http://shop.emotiva.com/collections/speakers/products/xrc52
Surround speakers could be the same as the above main speakers.
If you can afford better don't buy the AVR suggested above, it's too low end. Move to a higher end Denon, Onkyo, or similar. Good AVR's are over $1000 but if you at least move into the $500 ~ $600 range it will be a significant improvement over the one suggested above. Also, consider a better subwoofer, the Polk suggested is not very good at all but we're trying to keep cost down here. For a very small system you need to spend more in the $300 ~ $400 range on a subwoofer.
Sorry for not directly answering your question, it just can't be directly answered. Both those options are simply so bad that there are no significant differences to discuss. I'm just glad you are one of the cases where we have the opportunity to break this to you before you waste your money. Most people start asking questions too late.

What cable types can DVI be converted to?
Doug E
I have seen DVI to HDMI, but I'm curious if you can convert DVI (like from a computer) to s-video, composite (RCA), or component. I have seen some component adapters but they are only for certain ATI video cards.
I'm curious because I want to build a Home Theater PC and the motherboard I like has DVI and HDMI, but I do not have a DVI or HDMI tv, only an HDTV with svideo, composite, and component. Thanks!
Answer
DVI can only be converted to HDMI and VGA, most motherboards that come with HDMI and DVI come with an adapter to convert to VGA, the only way to convert VGA is using a PC to TV adapter which is far from cheap (about 40-100 dollars) and the other problem is that these adapters do not produce HD quality video.
