Product name	Pioneer HTZ181DVD home theater system	Denon AVR-1910 A/V receiver	Samsung HT-BD8200 home theater system	LG DA-W5100 wireless home theater system
Editors' ratings (How we rate)	CNET Asia editor's take	7.3 Very good	8.5 Spectacular	8 Excellent
Review Summary	More info	The Denon AVR-1910 is a fully featured midrange A/V receiver with standout upconverted video quality, although it's held back by some subpar design issues and average sound quality.	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.
