Ok then, so I'm a lucky boy....
On my last birthday my wife decided that she wanted to treat me to a home cinema system so off we went to our local Richer Sounds store (they are VERY cheap and VERY helpful - recommended everyone pays them a visit!) with cash in hand an wangled a deal.
I got this MarantzA/VReceiver , A Yamaha surround sound speaker package and a Panasonic DVD recorder for the princly sum of £350 - a bit of a discount from the £900 RRP!

Advantages: Excellent video and stills quality, Large 3.2-inch panoramic screen, Sufficient manual controls Disadvantages: No wind filter, No HDI cable supplied
too much for you, the HDR-SR11 offers a 60GB drive and the rest of it is the same as the SR12
Good Points

85/100 ...
Fantastic sound Quality, affordable (without losing manufacturer quality), Very easy to use, can handle several speakers without the need for adding
None. My parents have bought the system, and have a technological knowledge of zero, therefore they find the use of the remote control a little confus (*)
