| The Bottom Line | The sound quality of the Onkyo HT-S990THX is among the best you'll get from a home-theater-in-a-box system, but the lack of HDMI video is a disappointment. | The DAV-HDX500 delivers the best combination of features and value in Sony's Bravia home theater system line. | With a five-disc changer, wireless rear speakers, and an integrated iPod dock, the Panasonic SC-PT760 offers a solid value for anyone looking for an affordable all-in-one home theater solution. | Sony's HT-CT100 soundbar/subwoofer audio system is a phenomenal value that sounds great with movies and music. | The Onkyo TX-SR606 offers tons of functionality for the price, but subpar video processing and improved competition means it's less of a standout receiver than last year's version. | Basic specs |
