My hi-fi doesn't work anymore, so I need a new one.

Speakers aren't really a concern with a new one as I already have a decent set of these. But it'd be nice just to be able to hook them up as extra ones. I'm not bothered about cassette playback either as I've lost most of my cassettes.

Okay - It has to have these features:

*DVD player
*5.1 Dolby Surround
*Analog audio input (So I can connect my TV or PC up to it, this is a dead must have)
*Be a nice small size (I don't want a huge hi-fi at if all possible)

These are the features I'd like it to have, but aren't too bothered if it doesn’t have them:

*DAB digital radio
*Sub Woofer

Cheers.
 
Thanks for the suggestion. The unit is a little pricey for my likings though (Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place?).

I've found this here from looking at all the usual high street suspects:

Google GOODMANS HEC142 Hi-Fi Surround Sound

What's nice is it has a DVD recorder with it as well. The input panels I want are at the front though, which would look a bit messy- I guess I could put up with that if I can't find anything else.

Don't buy that pap. Oh that is a competitor. If you're asking about Hi-Fi, that Goodmans isn't it.
What about one of the NAD L73 AV amplifiers/DVD players?

Yeah, I've been reading around. I figure that'd be a silly idea to buy something like that.

From what I've gathered reading around the internet (I'm a complete novice at this, apart from a few bits), it's best to get a good amplifer and then connect everything upto that.
 
No point getting a rubbish amplifier get something good that's a upgrade over your old amplifier. If you've got different speakers you'll need the customization of proper av seperates (bass managment)
 
I've just got a Sony Hi-fi at the moment (dvd player with 5 disc changer - That's the bit that's not working anymore). So the speakers are all the same with that, they're pretty decent speakers. I want to spend around 250-300 at most on an amp. I'd like to have around 5+ inputs for it and it to output dolby 5.1- But I guess if I'm going to be buying a decent one it'll output 5.1 anyway.
 
If you don't mind second hand, Marantz are generally a good buy. I got a SR7300 for £200 last year and for that price it's amazing! Although it may be a bit on the large size for you.

Okay, I'm going to go for the Denon AVR1906 (AV Receiver).

It's a nice price for what I'm willing to pay, it also means I can get a nice DVD recorder to go along with it (I think it's the best way for me to play music and movies as well as record TV). After a while I'll get one of those cool new DAB radios to plug in with it.
 
That AV amplifier lacks a built in DVD player/recorder. Probably just as well. I wouldn't bother with DAB as generally terrible sound quality, just stick to good analogue FM stations.

Cant go wrong with the 1906, had mine setup for the past 2 months, sounds excellent, takes some setting up to start with to get everything how you like it, but once its done its done.
