Surround Sound Systems

In its SC-BT200, Panasonic has produced a system capable of delivering fantastic images and incredible sound

The Samsung HT-BD1220 Blu-ray system impressed us initially, but newer rivals have edged ahead of it

Sony has produced a home cinema speaker system that gives genuine surround sound to the speaker-phobic

We can pick holes in the performance but they're only small, so focus on the price and functionality of this home cinema system

We'd hope it would deliver more, but at this price (and given how the market has moved on) it's not rounded enough for us

A neat system but sonically it doesn’t knit together especially well

This well-built system offers style and substance, delivering fine pictures and detailed, solid sounds in a smart package

Quality home cinema convenience for really not very much money at all

For most users most of the time, and especially in light of its value, this is a winner

As long as you're not expecting 'proper' surround sound, this is an impressive do-it-all movie player
