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.

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.

Reviews

  • 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.

  • Philips MCD908

    The Philips MCD908 offers top-level features and build quality for a reasonable price -- unfortunately it doesn't quite have the performance to back it up.

  • Yamaha Digital Sound Projector YSP4000BSWi

    The Yamaha YSP4000BSWi has a great range of features and is still one of the best 5.1 simulators, but it may not represent the best value for money.

  • Philips SoundBar HTS8100

    The Philips SoundBar HTS8100 is good value for money, and able to deliver powerful movie soundtracks and excellent video quality via the HDMI output.

  • 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.

  • Philips DVDR3365

    The Philips DVDR3365 is a no-fuss entry-level DVR which prides itself on ease-of-use, excellent recording and playback compatibility.

  • Philips HTS5310S

    If you don't mind the lightweight bass performance, the HTS5310S will meet all your musical needs and beyond.
