Product name	Pioneer VSX-LX52 A/V receiver	Samsung HT-BD8200 home theater system	LG DA-W5100 wireless home theater system	Sony PlayStation 3 Slim
Editors' ratings (How we rate)	CNET Asia editor's take	8.5 Spectacular	8 Excellent	8.7 Spectacular
Review Summary	More info	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.	The LG DA-W5100 wireless home theatre system is a decent system that performs well with both audio and video.	With a smaller design, more energy-efficient operation, lower price tag, and built-in Blu-ray and multimedia capabilities, the PS3 Slim delivers a compelling package for an affordable price.
