Sony BDV-E370 review
The Sony BDV-E370 is not a bad piece of kit if you can get it for closer to £300 than £500. 3D is a great bonus and we did like most of the features of this home cinema system. Sound wasn't perfect but, for smaller rooms, it's pretty reasonable. Read more

Samsung HT-D6750W review
Samsung has loaded up its HT-D6750W home-cinema kit with everything bar the kitchen sink. If you want a 3D Blu-ray player, Web connectivity and a sound system that hasn't been beaten with the ugly stick, you should definitely take a closer look. Read more

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

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

Philips HTS6510 review
As well as being more affordable, a 2.1 home cinema system can save you space and the frustration of setting up separates. With vibrant pictures and SonoWave sound technology, the HTS6510 from Philips is a first-class ambassador for cinema-in-a-box systems in its price bracket Read more

If you can afford it, the LX01BD Blu-ray player with surround-sound speaker system will prove well worth your cash. Disc load times are excruciatingly slow but it's a beautiful and cleverly designed package that offers fantastic picture and sound quality, with great audio-codec support Read more

Pioneer DCS-360 review
Compared to other systems available for around £300, Pioneer's DCS-360 is an outstanding example. You get a more generous speaker package featuring floor-standing speakers and it's one of the few budget systems that can claim HDMI connectivity, which allows you to play near high-definition quality 720p or 1080i pictures Read more

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
