Sony Home Cinema Speaker Upgrade Kit

Advantages: Excellent quality Brilliant sound good range of connections
Disadvantages: No in built DVD, audio not carried through the HDMI connector

...The Sony HTSF1000 Home Theatre upgrade kit was a purchase I made in June to round out my home cinema set up. The rest of my set up is as follows: • Sony Bravia KDL-S32A12U 32" HD ready TV - for more information please see my review of this set • Sony RDR-GX210 DVD Recorder • Sky HD box with integrated Sky+ • A nice glass stand from John Lewis! The whole system has been hooked up together since my Sky HD arrived in July, however I had been using the speaker system prior to that with my DVD recorder. It is important to not early on that this system does not include a DVD player or recorder, which many Home Theatre systems include. If however you already have a DVD player or recorder that you are happy with, then this system is an excellent option to consider. Specification The specification...

Review of Sony HT-SF 1000

Cinema from home!

Advantages: Best quality sound!
Disadvantages: room shakes (not good for the neighnours!)

...This is one of the best quality home cinema players you can get, Its made by Sony who have a brillant reputation, You also have a usb cable at the back so you can plug in your iPod so you have AMAZING sound, trust me it is! (you can also play photo slide shows on it!) The price is VERY good for the quality of the product, I would pay alot more if i knew how good it was when i shopping and saw it! Its is easy to install (even for someone who isnt used to setting up dvd players!) The sub woofer makes the room shake and feels like you are in the actual movie, but not a good idea if you have alot of neighbours around! I would give this 4.5/5...

Sony DAVSC5 Home Cinema System Review..

Advantages: Sound Quality, DVD Player..
Disadvantages: Wires..

...-------------------- Sony DAVSC5: -------------------- Ok this sound system is one of the best I have seen the quality of the sound is excellent. I know this because my mate has got one he is always watching DVD now. It dose really sound like your at the cinema the sound echo?s around the room, the only problem is if you turn it up to nearly top volume the sub starts to vibrate. But still who has it at full volume it would pod your ear drums lol. You can also have different sound settings like video game, dolby prologic, small hall, big hall, full bass, and a fully customizable setting for your own creations. There is absolutely no distortion no matter how loud you turn this system up a bit of vibration if full volume as I said earlier in this review. It would defiantly be like a proper cinema then don?t you think? Another...

HOME CINEMA ON A BUDGET? TRY THESE.

Advantages: Small,unobtrusive satellite speakers.
Disadvantages: Not as good as larger speakers.

...I brought my set of tannoys 15 months ago and, at the time,they cost £300.Now,with a little searching around,they can be obtained for under £200. What you get in the box is five satellite speakers(two front,two rear and a centre speaker) plus a seperate powered subwoofer. You also get wall mounted supports for the two front and two rear speakers and all the speaker cables(i changed the cables to 79 stand q.e.d. speaker cable to improve the sound). Setting up the system is relatively easy:you just need an electric drill for the the wall mounted stands and once fitted,you just connect the cables to your home cinema amp. Easy!! Once you have connected everything,it is time to try out the system. My first reaction and i am sure yours will be the same was one of complete disbelief!! The sound quality for such small speakers...

Review of Tannoy FX 5.1 Home Cinema Speaker System

home cinema for your viewing

Advantages: stylish, reliable, clear sound
Disadvantages: none

...I bought my cinema pack just under a year ago and it?s still in working order. It has a modern appearance so its still looks quite new. JVC?s Cinema Pack contains all you need to turn your living room into a fully fledged mini-audiotorium ? you just supply the screen, the form of a TV or projector. The DVD player, surround sound amplifier and speakers are all here. The DVD player and amplifier/control centre come as separate stackable units with the connectors necessary to join them and connect a TV. The DVD player is JVC?s XV-E1112 and is finished with a smart silver/grey front and well positioned buttons. It is capable of playing a wide range of formats including DVD, Svcd and VCD for video and MP3 music for audio. Both CD-R and CD-RW discs are also supported. The control centre deals with the surround sound amplifying...

Review of JVC QP-112AL Home Cinema Packages

A Great System from Sony

Advantages: Nice Classy Design, Great Graphics, and a Good Online
Disadvantages: Small Gamelist Thus Far and Some Games Suffer From Framerate and Graphical Pop-Up Issues

...of the greatest features i like is being able to access the regular internet. Sony just recently came out with Home, which is pretty much their family friendly version of the program Second Life. The only real problems i've experienced with this online is that it isn't as fast as Xbox Live and is also slow on downloads. The Playstation Network does suffer from a great deal of slowdown moments at times and you'll find that you're connection will jump up and down on some occasions but that's really about it. Downloading games or add-ons to your games is much slower then Xbox Live, which is a real pain when the files are extremely large. One of the biggest disadvantages that the PS3 has when compared to the 360 and Wii is the size of its game library. The PS3 thus far has the smallest gamelist out of all three systems but that isn't saying that the PS3...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3)

Sony is back with a bang!

Advantages: slick piece of hardware, great games, so much to do!
Disadvantages: not cheap!

...Having just recently won a competition to spend a night with the PS3 I figured it would be a smart idea to do a personal review of the console which everyone will be talking about (in the UK) in a few weeks to come. Please bear in mind that I have only had a chance to test this baby out for a few hours and so my review will not be as in-depth as you might expect. First Impressions The PS3 is indeed a slick looking machine, about the size of it's older brother (PS2) it seems as though finally Sony have caught on to the fact that the outer design of the console is as important to a gamer as the leather interior is to a 2006 Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Gone is that ugly block-like design and in comes a smooth surfaced console with curved edges just begging you to caress them. Much like it's predecessor, the PS3 can be placed...

Love cinema? Cineworld Unlimited Card

Advantages: Great value if you use it
Disadvantages: Can be cheaper to pay as you go

...'. The upshot of this was that seeing a film at a 'proper' cinema meant an hour's drive each way to either Braintree or Ipswich. So when I moved to Northamptonshire, the lure of not one but TWO multiplexes in spitting distance was too strong to resist. At that time, the UGC cinema was on my route home from the office and I found it very difficult to drive past and not drop in especially as I was in temporary 'digs' waiting for a house purchase to go through. The UGC became my second home. The first time I visited I discovered the Unlimited scheme. How it works *********** For just £10.99 a month (it was £9.99 when I joined nearly 2 years ago) you can go to the cinema as often as you want. It really is that simple. You can use your local cinema or any other Cineworld cinema, anywhere in the country - with the exception of the 4 West End...

Review of Cineworld Cinemas

A world of cinema... for £162

Advantages: Great facilities, great Unlimited deal
Disadvantages: Expensive

...I am fortunate to live right next to a large Shopping Centre, that not only contains many good stores but is itself surrounded by many other retailers, restaurants, cinemas, etc. My favourite attraction: the Cineworld multiplex. Cineworld is Britain's second largest multiplex cinema operator in the United Kingdom, with 74 cinemas and over 800 screens. It also has one cinema in Jersey and another in the Republic of Ireland. Its first cinema opened in 1996, and the company has since integrated the UGC cinema chain. I like the "ambiance" at my local Cineworld. There is another huge cinema complex down the road, and even though everything in it is more spacious (lobby, screen rooms, washrooms) and boasts a slicker, more sophisticated decor, it feels colder and less welcoming. Cineworld, on the other hand, has...

Games Console and Home Entertainment in one.

Advantages: Excellent Graphics, Ample Memory, Free online gaming, Blue - Ray excellent!!!
Disadvantages: Cost a bit(Worth every penny in my opinion)

...Introduction Well in this review i am going to tell you all you need to know about the playstation 3 based purely on my experience as i own one and also my personal opinions. The main reason i chose the playstation 3 is simple because of modern day technology is changing for example Blue - Ray has been introduced to the world and as it goes the playstation happened to have it already built in to the console that made my mind up even more to buy the playstation 3 ahead of rivals X box as the X box 360 doesn't support Blue - Ray. My experience in the past with playstaion has been excellent i have had all the games consoles they have made and have had no problems, what makes me even more convinced i made the right decision was the fact that i have been loyal all the way through and stuck by Sony and their creations. The Playstation 3...
