Panasonic SC-BTT262 review
The Panasonic SC-BTT262 is a great 2.1-channel Blu-ray home-cinema kit. Given its compact size, its audio is surprisingly powerful, and the Blu-ray player is up to Panasonic's usual high standards. Read more

Onkyo HTX-22HDX review
The Onkyo HTX-22HDX home-cinema system is ideal for anyone who has a smaller house, but still wants to take advantage of 5.1 surround sound. We recommend you get the 5.1 package -- it's well worth the extra outlay. Read more

LG HLB545 review
The LG HLB545 is a fantastic machine that boasts Blu-ray playback, media streaming and a decent speaker package for around £450. It's not the cheapest, but it's a great system and we'd be happy to recommend it. Read more

Sony BDV-E370 review
The Sony BDV-E370 is not a bad piece of kit if you can get it for closer to £300 than £500. 3D is a great bonus and we did like most of the features of this home cinema system. Sound wasn't perfect but, for smaller rooms, it's pretty reasonable. Read more

The SC-BT330 is a versatile, 5.1-channel home-cinema kit that delivers excellent Blu-ray picture quality. Its audio isn't as good as its images but it offers a number of useful extra features, such as iPod video playback and access to the Viera Cast online platform Read more

Samsung HT-BD1252 review
The 5.1-channel HT-BD1252 Blu-ray home-cinema kit offers excellent value for money. Its tall speakers feel rather plasticky and their sound quality isn't the best we've ever heard, but the whole package looks slick and its video quality is excellent. The iPod dock is a welcome bonus too Read more

Samsung HW-C450 review
The HW-C450 soundbar is a good option for anyone who wants to replace their TV's shoddy built-in speakers, without investing in a full-blown surround-sound system. Its music performance is decent, but it really shines with movie soundtracks, delivering crisp dialogue and convincing explosions Read more

Pioneer HTP-SB300 review
If you're looking to give your telly an audio boost and you're short on space, the 3.1-channel HTP-SB300 soundbar could be the answer. Its audio isn't as immersive as that of a 5.1- or 7.1-channel system, but it packs an impressive sonic punch nonetheless, and it's a good-looking piece of kit too Read more

Panasonic SC-BTX70 review
The 2.1-channel Panasonic SC-BTX70 home-cinema system with built-in Blu-ray player is a curious-looking specimen, and its virtual 7.1-channel surround-sound processing isn't entirely convincing. But its picture quality is fantastic and its super-slim main component will suit those who like to mount their equipment on the wall Read more
