Sharp HT-DV50H 2.1-Channel AV System DVD cinema set

with the cheaper HT-DV40H. The speakers are finished in gloss black and perched on a circular stand - an extremely fashionable design that makes the perfect accompaniment to a plasma or LCD TV.

The main DVD receiver unit is equally stylish and beautifully built, sporting a fetching black/silver finish and a discreet disc slot instead of a tray. The large volume dial is surrounded by a bright blue light that's a little overbearing but at least it's easy to find in the dark. What's more, its narrow width makes it more compact than most systems.
