Onkyo TX-NR5007 review

The 9.2-channel TX-NR5007 is our favourite AV receiver so far. It's immensely powerful, so it's ideally suited to people with a dedicated -- and large -- home-cinema room. If you have a smaller room, it will still prove wonderful, but you won't be able to turn the volume up high without demolishing your walls Read more

LG HB354BS review

The HB354BS Blu-ray player with a 2.1-channel surround-sound system is an incredibly handy all-in-one system. iPod fans are particularly well placed to enjoy the system's impressive sonic performance, thanks to the built-in dock, and picture quality isn't bad either. It's ideal for people just starting to get Blu-ray fever 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 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

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

Samsung HT-TXQ120R review

If you have a 1080p screen, a 5.1 surround-sound speaker system such as the Samsung HT-TXQ120R will help you get the most out of movies. While its quirky stand-mounted DVD player isn't for everyone, the system produces enjoyable sound quality 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

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

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
