CNET Editors' review - Philips SoundBar HTS8100

Very good

7.8

out of 10

CNET Editor's rating: 7.8 out of 10
Reviewed by Matthew Moskovciak
Review date: 7/23/07
Release date: 6/1/07

The good: Stylish, minimalist design; built-in DVD player concealed behind motorized door; very good video quality on DVDs; four total audio inputs; iPod dock included.

The bad: No video inputs; sounds better with movies than with music.

The bottom line: The exceedingly stylish Philips HTS8100 SoundBar packs the home theater experience--including a DVD player--into one slim package plus a sub.
