Paul, South London , “26 year old professionals”

Score 9.0/10

+ The sound is crisp and fantastic for all dvd and digital television. but it also doubles up as a mind blowing audio player. I almost feel like i'm sitting on the front row of a concert or in the middle of Fabrics main room.

- manual difficult to read, but the set up was simple enough not to be a problem.

Expert reviews for Pioneer DCS-363

TechRadar expert review

Compact all-in-one systems obviously have their place. After all, the biggest hurdle to most households pursuing their home cinema dreams is the amount of space taken up by dedicated full-sized speaker systems. But there's also a problem with the majority of compact all-in-ones: they sound awful. This is really no more than you might expect, as basic scientific principles suggest that to get a 'big' sound from a speaker, that speaker needs to be big as well. But today those brainiacs at Pioneer appear to have ridden roughshod over science to deliver a truly compact all-in-one home…

Manufacturer's Description

Powerful DVD and music entertainment system

The DCS-363 is a 360W home cinema system that will play your entire DVD and music collection: it is multi-format.

Down-Firing SubIf you frequently download movies from the internet, the system can also playback DivX files. Alternatively, you can play your MP3, WMA or AAC (iTunes) files through the USB host; simply plug-in your USB memory stick or music player.

The DCS-363 has a down-firing subwoofer, which because of its design, delivers more powerful, deep sounds and bass reproduction,
without the distortion you sometimes hear at higher volumes.
