| Review summary | If you can look past its high price -- and some annoying shortcomings -- the JVC DD-3 Sophisti offers elegant styling and pretty good sound for its size Read full review |
Samsung's BD-P1000 is the first Blu-ray player to arrive in the UK. High-definition image quality scales new heights using the 1080p format, but new technology always comes with an inflated price tag Read full review |
Pioneer's DV-989 is a top-of-the-range DVD player featuring cutting-edge technology and connectivity. The price will rule it out for many but, as a partner for a compatible high-end system, very few players offer the same performance with both movies and music Read full review |
After spending just a few minutes using the Pioneer LX01BD, we totally fell in love with it. There's plenty of power here for filling an average-sized room with sound, the picture quality is stunning and the audio system can understand almost every codec thrown at it. We think the styling is brilliant too -- this system will fit in with virtually any set-up. It's also simple to get up and running. If you've got the money, this system delivers the goods Read full review |

Doesn't come cheap, but its excellent picture and sound quality make it worth the hefty investment
