Onkyo HT-S907 - Review @ CNET
Posted on February 13th, 2007 by ReviewZine.com
CNET has posted its review of the Onkyo HT-S907, a Home-Theater-In-A-Box system with DTS 96/24, DTS Neo:6, THX Cinema, DTS decoder, DTS-ES decoder, DTS-ES Matrix 6.1, DTS-ES Discrete 6.1, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, Dolby Digital Surround EX decoders, 1 x Subwoofer - External - Wired, 2 x Right/left channel speaker - External - Wired, 1 x Center channel speaker - External - Wired, 4 x Right/left rear channel speaker - External - Wired speaker system and a 7.1 channel Surround system class.
“The good: Home theater in a box with component-grade 7.1-channel A/V receiver with analog video upconversion to component video and switching for two HDMI sources; full-size six-disc DVD changer with 480p, 720p, or 1080i output over HDMI; wall-mountable two-way/three-driver satellite speakers and powered 10-inch subwoofer; advanced auto-speaker-calibration system; XM Satellite Radio capability with Neural Surround. The bad: The HDMI options fall short of optimal: the receiver doesn’t convert analog video to HDMI, and its onscreen menus aren’t viewable over the HDMI output. The bottom line: Onkyo’s HT-S907 delivers an extraordinary combination of excellent features and impressive sound quality at a very competitive price. (8.3/10)”

Philips BDP9000 Blu-ray Player - Review @ CNET
Posted on December 21st, 2006 by ReviewZine.com
CNET has published a review of the Philips BDP9000 Blu-ray Player where they rate the player 6.3/10 and write;
“For the most part the BDP9000 was very good–the first pattern demonstrated it successfully passed the full resolution of DVDs without a problem, and this was backed up by another test with marble stairs and a bridge that looked very detailed for DVD…The bottom line: The Philips BDP9000 has some great design touches and excellent Blu-ray image quality, but its high price, less-comprehensive audio capabilities and the comparative affordability of the PlayStation 3 suggest that you should probably hold off. “

Vizio GV46L HDTV Reviewed by CNET
Posted on October 21st, 2006 by ReviewZine.com
Vizio GV46L HDTV has been reviewed by CNET where they rate this 46-inch LCD TV 5.9/10 (Average) and write;
The good: Inexpensive for a 46-inch LCD TV; plenty of connectivity with two HDMI and one PC input; solid video processing with standard-def sources; removable speaker.
The bad: Inaccurate color temperature; reproduces relatively light color of black; no color-temperature presets; subpar off-angle viewing performance.
The bottom line: The 46-inch Vizio GV46L HDTV costs less than the big-screen LCD competition, but its picture quality isn’t up to par with the company’s other bargain efforts.

Cambridge SoundWorks Newton HD 6.1 Reviewed by CNET
Posted on October 21st, 2006 by ReviewZine.com
Cambridge SoundWorks Newton HD 6.1 has been reviewed by CNET where they rate this High-end home theater package 8.5/10 (very good) and write;
The good: High-end home theater surround speaker package; includes uniquely styled satellite speakers that offer versatile mounting options while retaining a solid heavyweight cast-aluminum build; stylish steel-paneled 300-watt subwoofer is only 8.5 inches deep but manages to include six 6.5-inch woofers; innovative engineering completely eliminates cabinet vibrations, which may reduce floor-borne transmission to the room below the subwoofer.
The bad: This combination of power, style, and performance doesn’t come cheap. And we were disappointed that the speakers used spring-clip connectors rather than binding posts.
The bottom line: Cambridge’s Newton HD 5.1 Home Theater speaker system features flat-screen-friendly design, advanced engineering, a unique subwoofer design, and spectacular sound quality–judged on a dollar-for-dollar basis, there’s nothing that can touch it.

Yamaha YHT-670 Reviewed by CNET
Posted on October 21st, 2006 by ReviewZine.com
Yamaha YHT-670 has been reviewed by CNET where they rate this home theater in a box 7/10 (very good) and write;
The good: Home theater in a box including component-grade A/V receiver with generous connectivity options, full-size DVD changer, wall-mountable minisatellite speakers and powered 8-inch subwoofer; XM Satellite Radio capability with HD Surround; optional iPod dock.
The bad: Curiously, you get only five satellites with this 6.1-channel A/V receiver, and the system lacks automatic setup (speaker calibration) and HDMI output. You also may need to use separate remotes–one for the receiver, one for the DVD player.
The bottom line: The compact speakers of Yamaha’s YHT-670 home-theater-in-a-box not only mimic the sound of HTIBs with tower speakers, the sound can be upgraded down the road with better speakers.
