Can my home theater system play footage by Panasonic or Sony camcorders?

I have a Philips home cinema system which, according to the catalogue, can play Mpeg2/Divx files. It plays well those Avi/wmv files, but I have never tried the mpeg2s.

Now I want to buy a HDD/Flash media camcorder, either by Sony or Panasonic. I understand that you could copy the footage to a USB stick, just like any other multimedia file.

If this is true, then could you pls let me know whether a home cinema system can play those files directly?

Thank you.

1. Is there a usb port on the system? If not, then the files would have to be burned to dvd, and then played in the dvd player.
