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

Samsung HT-XQ100 review
This affordable, self-contained home cinema system isn't just a pretty face: it gives you DVD playback with full 5.1-channel surround sound, not to mention bags of features. It upscales your standard DVDs to high-definition quality through the HDMI output, and with the 3D sound this is a great budget option for enhancing your movies 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

Sony DAV-DZ830 review
The Sony DAV-DZ830 is a stylish home-cinema system with a full 5.1 speaker arrangement and integrated DVD player. Rear speakers are wireless, which gives the set a clean appearance and setup is automatic. Uspcaled pictures from DVDs offer good black levels and balanced, natural colours 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

JVC DD-3 Sophisti review
A stylish home-cinema unit that employs virtual-surround sound, the JVC DD-3 Sophisti forgoes the need for rear speakers -- and the wires that go with them. With an upscaling HDMI DVD player, this is ideal for anyone looking for an unobtrusive way to boost their movie audio 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

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

Denon DHT-FS5 review
The DHT-FS5 single-speaker surround-sound system is tastefully designed and unusually compact. Music-playing duties are not its forte, but sound quality when watching films or TV is good. Overall, this sound bar is a decent improvement on any TV's built-in speakers Read more
