The Bottom Line The DAV-HDX500 delivers the best combination of features and value in Sony's Bravia home theater system line. With a five-disc changer, wireless rear speakers, and an integrated iPod dock, the Panasonic SC-PT760 offers a solid value for anyone looking for an affordable all-in-one home theater solution. Sony's HT-CT100 soundbar/subwoofer audio system is a phenomenal value that sounds great with movies and music. The sound quality of the Onkyo HT-S990THX is among the best you'll get from a home-theater-in-a-box system, but the lack of HDMI video is a disappointment. The Samsung HT-TZ512T's wireless rear speakers, five-disc changer, and impressive digital media support make it a solid choice for basic home theater duties.
