Reviews

  • Kogan Blu-ray Player BD 2.0

    The renewed Kogan Blu-ray player is a bargain, with many of the niceties of much more expensive players but you can't expect video precision for the price.

  • 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.

  • Oppo BDP-83 Blu-ray Player

    With a mind-blowing feature set and superlative performance, the Oppo BDP-83 Blu-ray player could very well be the last disc spinner you'll ever need.

  • Sony BDP-S560

    The Sony BDP-S560 Blu-ray player features a Wi-Fi adapter and BD-Live support, but doesn't appear to be able to match competitors for features.

  • Sony BDP-S360

    The Sony BDP-S360 handles all the Blu-ray basics with ease, but lacks the streaming internet content found on competing models.

  • Sony Muteki HTDDW7500

    If you fancy an imposing home theatre system that can also deliver the goods, the Sony Muteki HTDDW7500 gives you a lot of sound for little money.

  • 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.

  • Samsung BD-P3600

    The Samsung BD-P3600 is a huge leap ahead for stand-alone Blu-ray players, with blazing-fast operational speed, tons of features and excellent image quality.
