Home cinema systems: Compare features & prices

Our Best Buy home cinema systems boast great sound quality, and are easy to set up and use. They are all 5.1 systems (that is, systems with five speakers and a sub-woofer) and feature a decent DVD player with a built-in receiver plus six speakers and all the necessary cables. Some lower-scoring models were found to have poor surround-sound performance, and weren't very user-friendly either.
