Editors' ratings (How we rate)	8.7 Spectacular	8.5 Spectacular	CNET Asia editor's take	8 Excellent
Review Summary	With six HDMI inputs, an intuitive graphical user interface and excellent audio and video quality, the Sony STR-DA5300ES raises the bar on what to expect from a high-end AV receiver.	The Samsung HT-BD8200 is a truly solid performer and is worth considering if it fits in with your current equipment stylistically. But it's not the best-specced machine in terms of connectivity.	More info	The LG DA-W5100 wireless home theatre system is a decent system that performs well with both audio and video.
