The JVC NX-F3 has an impressive list of features. Its 1080p upscaling option produces clean images, free of digital artefacts, and black levels are well defined and detailed. It's incredibly simple to install and its menu system is easy to use. Good connectivity is another plus point Read more

Philips HTS6515 review
Using Ambisound on the HTS6515 was Philips' way of creating an illusion of surround sound from just two speaker units. Well we've tested this piece and we can confirm that the depth of sound we got exceeded our expectations. In terms of picture quality, we'd go so far as to say it's some of the most impressive upscaling we've seen from an all-in-one unit like this Read more

LG HT33S review
The HT33S is a very likeable 2.1-channel home-cinema system. It's rather scratch- and fingerprint-prone, and music isn't its forte, but it handles DVDs with considerable skill, making film soundtracks a pleasure to listen to and offering impressive picture quality Read more

LG HT762TZ review
The LG HT762TZ is a good starting point for people who want surround sound but aren't interested in building a complicated separates system themselves. It's a 5.1 surround sound speaker system with an upscaling DVD thrown in the mix, and is great for home cinema newbies 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

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

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
