Audio Systems

Advantages: Stylish, space-saving design and 1080p video upscaling
Disadvantages: expensive price

Philips HTS 8100 is very stylish. Physical design is very impressive and attracts most buyers. The best thing about it that distinguishes HTS 8100 from other home theater systems is that you don't have to spread wires all around. Therefore it dose not make a lot of mess. You can find some Home Theater System in the market which have wireless rear speakers. But in this system saves you room plus every thing is in one system even the dvd player is ...
...(1080p). There is downgrade to it that it dosent have alot of audio inputs. It is good for movies but not so great with music, So you have to comparize with some things when you are saving space and trying to put most in a small product. But it fills your most needs and is something new in the market. The look is what attracts everyone to HTS1800. ... Read review

Advantages: Small system at a reasonable price.
Disadvantages: Difficult to record separate tracks

...got a decent outfit. The Sony CMT-SPZ90 gives you options that are rather clever, in that you can play all formats of CD, including MP3 and what I intended doing was recording my favourite songs over to tape for the car, as well as having an additional system for the bedroom. It's neat and compact and doesn't take up much space at all and only needs 50 cms of space, as opposed to my older system. I quite like the fact that the speakers can be sat ...
...of wear. I think Sony got their act right in this system for the lower end of the market. They offer more than some, though what they could have added as an improvement would have been a slot for a USB connection, which other players have. This may have made the recording less fiddly and I could have recorded direct from an MP3 player. The instruction booklet was complex and could have done with being a bit more user friendly. The guarantee of ... Read review

Advantages: All your music stored on a hard disk drive. DAB radio. iPod dock
Disadvantages: Won't transfer files to iPod. User manual very poor.

...a music server to other Sony audio receivers/slaves in other rooms that allows each room to have the same or different music playing. Terrific! IPod docking station included. Fantastic! The HDD software will link wirelessly to the Gracenote database via the internet (if you have wireless broadband) and will populate your library with missing track data etc. Superb! The basic unit is £500 and the receiver's around £250 but all can be found for less ...
...Good value! However Sony is fighting a war with Apple for domination of the portable music player market, so beware their products that appear to be iPod compatible. The Sony GigaJuke is one of the casualties of that war. The iPod docking station will recharge your iPod and even play tunes from it, but, and its a big but, it will not transfer files from the HDD to the iPod, whether you use the iPod docking station or either of the 2 USB outlets provided. ...
