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 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

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

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

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

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-X710T review

The Samsung HT-X710T is a solid home theatre-in-a-box that focuses on DVD playback while offering excellent sound. It has a 2.1-channel system -- meaning two speakers, one subwoofer and a 'head unit' amplifier and disc player. If you don't mind the offbeat styling and the dearth of video inputs, this is a worthwhile choice 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

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

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
