We like:
Universal compatibility; 1080p upscaling; ease of use; decent picture quality
We don't like:
Uninspired design and build quality; typically restricted surround performance from 2.1 speakers
CNET UK judgement:
JVC's NX-F3 is a space-saving system with some impressive features for the money, but it won't fool you into thinking you're listening to more speakers
