| Review summary | The Samsung HT-X715 is very easy to set up and it does make your movies look and sound good. We just didn't care for the music sound quality, which was fine in the mid and high end but sounded flabby at low frequency Read full review |
We've tested several stand-alone video players, but the Mvisto trounces them all. Its support for a huge range of video codecs is reason enough to lust after the device. Not content to stop there, Mvisto have designed an on-screen navigation system that puts most media centres to shame Read full review |
While some home cinema systems are Jacks of all trades, Pioneer's LX01 attempts to master everything from watching and listening to recordings -– but unrivalled features and high-end performance come at an inflated price Read full review |
Onkyo's TX-SR605 simply has a better future-proof specification on paper and sounds better in practice than any other rival AV receiver in its class -- an absolute winner Read full review |

£300 buys you a very competent upscaling DVD player, with 2.1 speaker system that can produce a crisp, clear and very likeable sound

The LX71 is a great Blu-ray player, despite a slow loading speed for interactive discs and the high price

The design is pleasant, performance is good, features are impressive and the price is right
