Advantages: DVD recorder, HDD , Jukebox & surround sound all in one
Disadvantages: cant watch Digital TV if recording Terrestial unless extra scart added

...all the time so the pioneer with its built in digital Jukebox seemed like all our dreams had come at once. Setting up was not easy but once we had sorted out the basics from the 155 page manual it was OK. The choice of recording to HDD or to disc was great .. you can also record what you have from HDD to disc if you really like the film or program you have recorded.. BUT you cant record from the digital Jukebox to disc so if creating CD's is your ...

Advantages: Recording DVD Function
Disadvantages: Does not write on DVD-RW

...Finally I came across the Panasonic SC-HT25R. The crispness and quality of the sound was so above the rest that I almost decided on what to buy on the spot. However, there were some other units that I had to check out first. THE DECISION It was clear in my mind which unit I wanted to buy. Apart from the sound quality, this set has the functionality of a DVD Recorder. SATISFACTION Having used this equipment for around 3 weeks, I am pleased that ...
...decide again, I would choose the same unit. THE UNIT The SC-HT25R is a 'separates' Home Theatre system. This means that the Tuner is separate from other equipment.

Advantages: Great Value for a Brand Name
Disadvantages: No infra-red speakers

This is a great entry level home cinema system for less than £150. I bought this about 12 months ago from Richer Sounds during one of their sales. It's very easy to install as all the wires are colour coded so even a novice will understand what to do. The instructions are pretty self-explanatory so within 30 minutes you should have it ready to go. The only down-side with non infra-red systems like this is the fact there's lots of wires. You've basically ...
...to the DVD player. As you can imagine the amount of wire behind your TV will build up. The picture quality is pretty good and the sound is more than enough to fill a standard size living room. Other benefits include the built-in FM/AM radio but it's not DAB. You can also play CDs in this system which makes it a great alternative to your Hi-Fi. The remote control allows you to adjust a range of options including sound and picture quality. For those ... Read review
