Panasonic SC-PT870

The Panasonic SC-PT870 is a good system, offering decent-quality surround sound and very good picture performance.

Sharp ANPR1500H

The Sharp ANPR1500H will hold up your TV, but DVD playback and music replay are just not good enough for us to recommend it.

Reviews

  • Yamaha YSP-3000

    If you can look past its limited video capabilities, the Yamaha YSP-3000 is an otherwise recommendable single-speaker solution for home theater buyers who don't want a traditional 5.1 channel surround system.

  • Samsung HT-X715

    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 with flabby sounding bass.

  • Samsung HT-X810

    The Samsung HT-X810 is a breeze to set-up and looks great sitting underneath your TV, and while picture quality is great, the sound slightly disappoints.

  • Onkyo LS-V501

    The Onkyo LS-V501 is a 2.1 home theatre in a box which will upscale your DVDs to 1080i and supports a plethora of audio and video formats.

  • Samsung HT-TX500T

    The Samsung HT-TX500T delivers sound and image quality as expected from a mid-range home theatre package.

  • Yamaha YSP-1100

    Although it's expensive, we really liked the Yamaha YSP-1100's excellent sound, which makes movies much more involving.

  • Sony RHTG800

    The Sony RHTG800 is an unusual take on the HTIB, but it looks good and works well. However, the sound quality isn't the best and the price is high.

  • Sony SAVS300H 6.1/7.1 speakers

    For the price, these Sony speakers look great and sound OK, but the same money can get you a better set, or even a whole system.

  • Best 'home theatre in a box' systems

    You've finally taken the plunge and invested in a large screen TV, but found out pretty much straight away that the sound is thin and not deserving of the term "home theatre". So where to next?
