A great entry-level home theatre, Pioneer's HTZ151DVD is an excellent option for newcomers, delivering everything you need to get into home theatre at a very affordable price

The HT-CN650DVW is a well-priced home theatre system, which has a very musical sound and plenty of punch.

Ideal for smaller environments, the Sharp HT-M700H delivers impressive (and inexpensive) 5.1 audio, however the lack of digital video output and a sparse feature-set make it unsuitable for DVD playback
