- Photo gallery:Panasonic SC-BT300Panasonic released one of the first Blu-ray home-theater-in-a-box HTIB systems in 2008, the SC-BT100, but we didn't bother to review it.

- The big upgrade in home-in-a-box systems for 2009 is a built-in Blu-ray player. But those models start at $500. If you don't want to spend that much--and you're not ready for Blu-ray--there are still plenty of home theater systems with "just" DVD. Sony has three such models, each of which...

- Samsung HT-AS730
- These days, a home-theater-in-a-box system comes in one of three basic designs: an all-in-one package that includes a built-in DVD or Blu-ray player; a "soundbar" system that consolidates everything into a single speaker bar that can be mounted under a flat-panel TV; or a component system that basically boxes...

The TZ512 also offers a few additional audio inputs as well as compatibility with various digital file formats. The HT-X710T, reviewed here, keeps most of...

- Samsung HT-TZ512T
- In terms of value, it's hard to beat a home-theater-in-a-box HTIB system. While these systems have long bundled the home theater basics--DVD player, amplifier, and surround-sound speakers--into one package, manufacturers have continually upped the ante in recent years with more and more features. Samsung's HT-TZ512T is an excellent case in...

- Samsung HT-X810T
- If the primary appeal of soundbar speakers is based on their significant reduction of wires and clutter--as compared with 5.1-channel home theater-in-a-box systems--then Samsung's new HT-X810T soundbar should be a winner. While it's not the first single-speaker system with a built-in DVD player or a wireless subwoofer--that'd be the Philips...
