I want to buy an guitar but i don’t want to spend money on an amp.Can you tell me if i can connect the electric guitar to a home theater system or i need a amp?
You could, but you would also need some kind of guitar pre-amp.
You’d have to connect the guitar through some kind of small pre-amp and connect the output to the home theatre!
The pre amp is needed to amplify the very weak signals from the guitar output, and also to allow you to change the sound of the guitar a bit if you wanted.

I’m looking for a basic and cheaper home theater system that would do surround sound for DVD player, BlueRay player, Xbox, PS3 and my laptop. Any suggestions? Will these normal DVD home theater systems do that?
@The One: Thanks for the answer. So, I should buy a receiver with speakers and not a dvd home theater. But what about TV? Will TV (from normal antennas etc) connect to that receiver for surround sound?
Yes and No.
If you simply want to connect you laptop and Xbox, etc and have "regular" quality, most hometheatres with a RECEIVER support that. However, not all of them support HDMI for PS3 and Blu-ray. Therefore you have to make sure you get one of those that can. However, those do not come with a dvd player. They only come with a Blu-Ray drive OR they come as a receiver with speakers that you can connect to your own dvd or blu-ray. So you cannot get a DVD hometheatre, but you can get a standalone homethatre with a receiver. (Sony makes bunch of those that are Blu-ray compatible, check their website)
==EDIT==
Yes it would. But you are likely to not get a 5.1 surround sound. Only HD TV channels provide a 5.1 audio. For the rest you will get a stereo audio coming from your 5 speakers (or the front 2 if you set it that way).

For example: Sony HT-SF2300. This model may be a bit old now, but it is what you need in the price range you want it to be. Something like this should be good.

I currently have a samsung (HCN653W) TV and am looking for a home theater system to hook up to it. I am looking for a system that is around $500. This should include the receiver and speakers. I only want it to be Dolby 5.1 and want to be able to hook up a dvd player, my tv, and possibly a blu-ray player for the future. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
I also do not want wireless speakers. I only hear bad comments about wireless.
Ugh! That thing is huge! I had to really dig for a pic of it & find it’s specs. Anyway, at best it’s highest resolution is 1080i. It’s actually outdated by a couple of years. My recommendation is the link below. It gives you everything you asked for including Blu-ray. It should work well w/ your TV. It’s twice of what you wanted in your budget, but in this day & age these toys are getting more expensive. $500 would not have given you anything decent in terms of quality. Shop around a bit & see if you can’t find that system at a better price. I do recommend you buy from these folks b/c they back up everything they sell 100%. I order from them all the time. Even if I find an item at a better price elsewhere. Their customer service & shipping speed is hard to beat. G’luck!
I’m interested in upgrading to a very good home theater and I know a lot of what too look for in Receivers but what exactly is a Amplifier for in your home theater system?? And how do you hook one up?
Every AV receiver has multiple amplifiers inside. An amplifier simply takes the low voltage signal coming out of a source (like a CD player, or a cable box) and turns it into a different higher voltage that makes speakers do what they need to do, and that is "move air" to make sound.
So if you get a good AV receiver, you won’t need any separate amplifiers. Unless you want to go all audiophile with your bad self. Some people buy a good AV receiver and never use the internal amplifiers, they only use the receivers as pre-amplifiers (as a surround sound decoder) and send every channel out of the pre-amp side to separate outboard dedicated amplifiers. They think this sounds better.
They are doofy. They are no longer enjoying the movie and are all caught up in "how it sounds." Great. As in, "Hey, that’s great there… hope you’re having a good time."
Meanwhile, you, the smarter of the two, has found an AV receiver that fits your budget and is already having a great time enjoying the movies and music, while the other dude is still tweaking around with his amplifiers.

I have a home theater (with DVD player) and a cable recorder box connected to my HDTV. The home theater is on HDMI-1 and the cable box is connected to Component-2 (video and audio). How do I use my home theater speakers to play the audio when I’m watching cable TV through component-2? What additional wiring connections do I need to make? My cable recorder box also has a HMDI connection capability.
Your cable box should have a optical or coax digital audio output. You should have an audio cable to go from your cable box to your surround sound receiver. Most likely you will need to change source type on your audio receiver to detect your cable audio feed.
