What's Hot

Innovative ambisound technology simulates 5.1 surround sound without the need for rear speakers, DVD upscaling to 1080p, Great design

What's Not

Some distortion, Relatively weak bass, DVD playback was marred by image noise, Limited input options

The Final Word

The Philips HTS8100 is a great option for those without the space for a full 5.1 surround sound setup, but its relatively average performance in other areas prevents it from being an outstanding product.
