Reviews

Polk Audio SurroundBar 360 DVD Theatre

The Polk Audio SurroundBar 360 DVD Theatre delivers excellent sound from a single speaker bar, with the lack of built-in Blu-ray being the only real sticking point.
Yamaha RX-V663

The Yamaha RX-V663 sounds great, but it's tough to recommend with its paltry HDMI connectivity, poor upconversion quality, and other design quirks.
Sony BDP-S550

The BDP-S550 is a fully loaded Blu-ray player with all the bells and whistles, including the latest Profile 2.0 advanced interactive feature support and HD audio.
Pioneer BDP-LX71

The Pioneer LX71 is a great Blu-ray player, despite a slow loading speed for interactive discs and the high price.
Sony BDP-S350

The combination of its small design, solid feature set, and excellent image quality make the Sony BDP-S350 a worthwhile standalone Blu-ray player — especially if you can find it for less than AU$400.
Samsung LA40A550

The Samsung LA40A550 LCD television is generally good, but has a few problems here and there. Considering it's a mid-range unit, that's to be expected.
Onkyo TX-SR606

The Onkyo TX-SR606 offers tons of functionality for the price, but subpar video processing and improved competition means it's less of a standout receiver than last year's version.
NEC PXT-32XD3

The NEC PXT-32XD3 is a quaint 32 inch plasma that boasts a great bunch of features, decent image quality and a rock bottom price.
