      Philips HTS8100

      Review summary: Philips' HTS8100 Ambisound surround sound home cinema fits unobtrusively beneath a 37in or 42in TV screen. The neatly designed 'sound bar' can be wall mounted using the supplied fixing plate

      Pros: Easy installation, Feature rich, Image quality

      Cons: Treble and bass levels are overly brash, Abrasive sonics

      Verdict: The first 'sound bar' with a DVD player delivers effective surround action, but longer listening can be hard going

      Philips HTS8100 SoundBar

      By Ben Russell

      Pros: Innovative ambisound technology simulates 5.1 surround sound without the need for rear speakers, DVD upscaling to 1080p, Great design

      Cons: Some distortion, Relatively weak bass, DVD playback was marred by image noise, Limited input options

      Verdict: The Philips HTS8100 is a great option for those without the space for a full 5.1 surround sound setup, but its relatively average performance in other areas prevents it from being an outstanding product.
