Advantages: Massive Sound, DVD Surround, Good Quality Construction

Wow. This is kinda stretching my memory slightly, as I have had this sound system for a few years now, but I never realised it was MHC-RV800 D. I always thought is was 8000 (eight thousand)! Strange things we do find out. Aaanyway. I bought this system a few years ago as a sound system and CD player rather than a home cinema system, and so I know far more about its sound that its picture qualities, although I have played a few films on it. I purchased ...
...same day. The system comes in two boxes, one with the main control unit and the surround speakers in, and the other with the Left / Right front speakers and the subwoofer. Let me tell you, the box with the main control bit in is HEAVY. So take care on your way home with it, or while loading or unloading it from the car. Also in the box is a remote control, and three or four instruction manuals, each containing the instructions in a different trio ... Read review

Advantages: Excellent System, more features than you will ever need.
Disadvantages: No microphone sockets.

...comes with a pair of Panasonic batteries ready to install. The buttons are a good size but perhaps grouped a little to close together. The layout is logical and most of the features of the system can be access via the remote controls. The system can be as easy or as complicated to use as you make it. It can be a simple case of switching it on and inserting a DVD, to a complex matter to selecting seating positions and playing around the dubbing settings ...
...from the sold bass thumping to the high pitch tweeters. The surround is brilliant, on more than one occasion I have turned around expecting to see some one standing behind me. In terms of sound out put the main two speakers at the front can punt out 600watts between them. The surround speakers are rated at 75w each. The graphic equaliser has several pre-sets and a can be configured to a number of manual ones. However I would recommend using the presets. ... Read review

...movie experience. I have the Samsung HT-Q20 home cinema system in my house, and whilst it's certainly not the best system available on the market, I find it does a pretty good job for the price. The Samsung HT-Q20 is almost a complete home entertainment system, since not only does it offer a dvd player with 5.1 surround sound, but it also has a built in radio tuner, plays audio CD's and has a USB slot for MP3 player compatability. These features ...
...the time. I bought the Samsung HT-Q20 nearly 2 years ago now, for around £160 at the time, which felt like money well spent, and whilst the system has been very good in the main, it's certainly by no means faultless. The system looks great, as you would expect from a Samsung product, and comes in a sleek, matte black design with a metallic silver lining throughout the range of items. The home cinema system consists of a DVD player, 5 speakers, a ... Read review

...to entertainment! The HT-TZ215 from Samsung has 800 W of power and includes a DVD player compatible with DivX, a passive subwoofer and 5 speakers to blast out the sound. The five speakers even have a column design for optimum sound output. Its HDMI connection with 1080p upscaling plunge you into the High definition experience, so you'll never watch films in the same way again. Meanwhile, the USB port allows you to hook up other video and storage ...
...Wireless Ready function. With the optional SWA-400 connection kit, only the rear speakers need to be connected, giving you the freedom to place the other speakers where you want for the best quality sound. Bring the cinema home with the HT-TZ215! But enough technical stuff, its a brilliant system for the family and partys! recommended buy! ... Read review

...and found this one. Saw LG HT353SD in Sainsbury's for just £79.99 and was not sure. I checked all the other prices online and details on manufacturer's website. Same day decided to go for it and bought it next day. I have it over one week now and am totally satisfied. It does exactly everything what should and does it great. This home theatre system is very nice looking and nicely designed. Stylish I would say as each speakers surface reflects. Cables ...
...power of 75W (3 Ohms). LG HT353SD is compatible with DTS, Dolby Digital, VSM, DTS ES, natural EQ, auto HQ, Dolby Prologic, DSP mode and 2Ch Stereo (By-Pass) sound effects. To adjust each speaker settings you need to go to on screen menu by pressing enter and choosing sound option. In there you can adjust all properties like distance from speaker to source or signal strength (according to your own preferences) plus/minus 6Db. On the same menu you ... Read review
