Denon AVR-1910

The Denon AVR-1910 is a fully featured mid-range AV receiver with standout upconverted video quality, although it's held back by some subpar design issues and average sound quality.
Pioneer BDP-120

The Pioneer BDP-120 Blu-ray player boasts fine video and audio capabilities, but its frustrating operational quirks make this player an also-ran.
Yamaha RX-V665

Yamaha's RX-V665 includes more features than its predecessor, but it doesn't sound as good, has poor video upconversion quality, and doesn't let you assign digital-audio inputs.
Sony BDP-S5000ES

The Sony BDP-S5000ES is a premium Blu-ray player, which features impressive build quality and audio performance, but if video is what you crave there are cheaper options.
Onkyo TX-SR607

If you can overlook its poor analog video conversion, the Onkyo TX-SR607 offers up a ton of HDMI connectivity and excellent sound quality for a mid-range AV receiver.
LG HB954WA

Elegant and compact, the LG HB954WA Blu-ray home cinema system looks to have the features and performance credentials to help it compete with price.
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.
Pioneer BDP-51FD

In many ways, the new Pioneer BDP-51FD is more of a no-frills performance-centric home theater kit than most of its peers in the market.
