Yamaha RX-V471 review

The Yamaha RX-V471 is a well-appointed, highly musical AV receiver that punches above its budget price tag. It's well built, sounds great, and even throws in USB playback. After a couple of years out of sync, Yamaha is back in the groove. Read more

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

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

Panasonic SC-BT330 review

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

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

Sony HTP-BD3IS review

We chortled as we prised the HTP-BD3IS from its box, titillated by the ridiculously tiny speakers of this 5.1-channel, Blu-ray home-cinema system. But the smirks were soon wiped off our faces by its physics-defying audio and outstanding picture quality. The HTP-BD3IS succeeds in offering both style and substance Read more

Samsung HT-BD1250R review

The 5.1-channel HT-BD1250R is an excellent option for those seeking a low-cost home-cinema system with a built-in Blu-ray player. Its audio performance is admirable for the price, and its picture quality is even better, while a number of appealing extras, such as an iPod dock, only sweeten the deal Read more

Samsung HT-BD8200 review

One of the most compact Blu-ray player and speaker systems we've encountered, the HT-BD8200 is an excellent choice for those beginning to dip their toes into the home-cinema water. Although it could do with more inputs for other equipment, its sound and picture quality are great Read more

Panasonic SC-PT870 review

It doesn't look like anyone at Panasonic HQ had much fun designing the SC-PT870 but it's a good 5.1-channel home-cinema system nevertheless. Music played via the USB socket isn't much cop, but the system performs admirably otherwise, delivering particularly impressive sound with movies Read more
