Xtreamer iXtreamer review
The Xtreamer iXtreamer isn't the most stylish media streamer we've ever seen, but the integrated iPod, iPhone and iPad dock is pretty cool. We also found the device easy to use, and had no major concerns about video quality. 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

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

Vivitek H1085 review
For a projector that only costs around £990, the Vivitek H1085 makes fewer compromises than you might expect. Its blacks are deep, its colours are bold, and its high-definition images are startlingly sharp. If you want a cheap projector in time for the World Cup, check it out Read more

Optoma MovieTime DV10 review
This 'home cinema in a box' solution -- a projector with built-in DVD player -- will suit movie fans who travel, as they can carry a complete cinema in one bag. On these terms, the MovieTime is a wholly successful experiment, and certainly helped by being excellent value for money Read more

Toshiba TDP-ET20 review
Toshiba's TDP-ET20 is an integrated DVD player and speaker system that you can literally point and play without using any other devices. Its unique close-projection technology can display super-size images in a room the size of a cupboard, but its space-saving concept is let down by poor sound and only acceptable image quality Read more

Denon S-101 review
Denon has a long tradition of high-end products and the S-101 isn't going to damage its stellar reputation. This 2.1 DVD system has speakers and features -- such as iPod integration -- that are good enough to merit the extra investment Read more

ZyXEL DMA-1000 review
If you want to stream the photos, music and videos stored on your PC to your TV you'll need a media streamer such as the ZyXEL DMA-1000. It handles a broad range of video and picture file formats, which it can output in high definition over HDMI 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

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
