Panasonic SC-HT800V to Blu-Ray?
I have a Panasonic SC-HT800V home theater system which includes the 5-speaker surround sound. I am wondering if Panasonic currently has a Blu-Ray player with receiver such that it is comparable to the DVD/VCR combo currently included in the set so I can utilize the same speaker set up and sub-woofer - it has a specialized plug from the sub-woofer into the receiver. I am unable to find any information on Panasonic's website, so I am open to ideas. Thank you.
The price was right: free! It was from my father-in-law who didn't want it. I do tend to keep different components separate on my own, but I appreciate the feedback, and I wasn't going to turn down the free offer (it's been good to me so far - just looking to upgrade).
agb90spruce: I see. So by that solution, essentially I would be using my current set-up for audio while using my HDMI for video? I do understand that is less than ideal, but I have used a similar fix-around for a gaming system... I don't know why I didn't think to do it with a Blu-Ray player. Thanks!

The manual for the SC-HT800V shows the unit has dual RCA (stereo) audio in jacks (and a composite video in). Therefore you should be able to connect a Blu-ray player (you DON'T need a player/receiver combo) to the Panasonic HT using a dual RCA patch cable (red/white RCA). This a) assumes a Blu-ray player with analog RCA stereo outputs jacks and that b) you only want stereo sound (or matrix pseudo surround generated byt he HT system (proLogic setting). At best this will be less than great, but you will be able to get some use from the Panasonic HT. BTW you would connect the Blu-ray player video direct to an HDT via HDMI or component (triple RCA cable).

No. That is one of the reasons that AV professionals warn against buying HTiB's.
