Andy, Manchester , “I love Philips”
Score 10.0/10+ Beautiful looking and fantastic sound and image quality. Sexy mechanism for opening the DVD and the lovely white lights on the display.
- Most of the inputs are on the subwoofer and it means that I have a lot of wires going backward and forward, maybe its just the way I am set up? It just makes it more difficult as the sub must be 1 metre from the TV.

Score 10.0/10+ Excellent upscaling 1080P HD picture and wonderful cinema sound with deep room shaking bass. Beautiful design with impressive DVD cover display when activated. Love the glass top on the sub woofer!
- Would have preferred to have additional on screen display options for volume, treble and bass settings.

Score 8.0/10+ Very good all in one, not a proper 5.1 but good substitute if you don't have the space
- the units are a bit chunky

Expert reviews for Philips HTS8140
TechRadar expert review
The Philips HTS8140 SoundBar is a seductive choice for anyone with a small apartment and an eye for style.It combines all of the speakers and electronics you need for a home cinema inside one package that can be mounted on the wall beneath your Ô¨Çatscreen TV ‚Äì an equally smart subwoofer takes care of bass and messy cabling. With a DVD player on board and virtual 5.1 surround sound, it's certainly the least conspicuous way of sneaking a home cinema into the front room.Sleek speakerThis Philips package could almost trade on its looks alone.I was impressed by its predecessor, the HTS81…

Manufacturer's Description
The Soundbar in a new dimension
Indulge in a 5.1 surround sound experience from an integrated one-piece system, in any sort of room. Also delivering superb sound and picture quality, this Ambisound-powered SoundBar fits elegantly under any flat TV.
FullSound™ to bring a CD listening experience to MP3
What is music without heart and soul? Philips’ innovative FullSound technology faithfully restores sonic details to compressed music, dramatically enriching and enhancing it, so you experience truly immersive music — without any distortion.
HDMI 1080p upscales to high definition for sharper pictures
HDMI 1080p upscaling delivers images that are crystal clear. Movies in standard definition can now be enjoyed in true high definition resolution – ensuring more details and more true-to-life pictures. Progressive Scan (represented by “p” in “1080p”) eliminates the line structure prevalent on TV screens, again ensuring relentlessly sharp images. To top it off, HDMI makes a direct digital connection that can carry uncompressed digital HD video as well as digital multi-channel audio, without conversions to analogue – delivering perfect picture and sound quality, completely free from noise.
