What is it: Virtual surround sound system with DVD player
What we think: Inconspicuous and easy to use, but it's not proper surround sound

We like:
Stylish, space-saving design; fuss-free set up; 1080p video upscaling; versatile connectivity; impressive image quality
We don't like:
Expensively priced; subwoofer means it isn't totally discreet; compromised sound quality
CNET.co.uk judgement:
The Philips SoundBar HTS8100 is an excellent solution for style-conscious buyers with limited time and space to set up a true surround system, but you'll have to accept a few sonic compromises
