Score 10.0/10

+ easy to set up, good clear sound; plenty of power for such a small unit and speakers. Get an optical connector to get your TV and other sound through the system as well. Good sound from CDs and music

- Surround sound efect is passable but not true as per cinema sound. An iPod dock would make this even better although can connect via cable.

Tim , Barry , “Sound matters.”

Score 9.0/10

+ Simple to set up. Excellent surround sound for only 3 speakers. If you or more likely your wife don't want cables running to the speakers at the other end of the living room - this is the system for you!

Expert reviews for Sony DAV-F200

TechRadar expert review

Sony's 2.1-channel solution looks effortlessly classy behind its cool glass fascia. The secret of its slim size lies with the massive S-Master sub that takes care of all the amplification and cabling, leaving just a sleek DVD player and dinky speakers on show.Superior user-friendlinessThe upright design saves table space and provides easy access to the slot-loading DVD player on one side and USB Host port on the other.
