HD PVR decoder
No home entertainment system is complete without a High Definition Personal Video Recorder and Decoder (HD PVR Decoder). The decoder does almost everything you would need a home entertainment system to do, apart from play DVDs, but it is quite easy to connect a dvd player, like the Toshiba SD-281 to get the full package. Why not try a DVD player with HDMI upscaling? the Pioneer DV-410-k and Toshiba SD-480/580 are perfect examples this exciting new technology.
It is fully compatible with all current Digital Satellite Television (DSTV) and offers much more in terms of viewing possibilities. A PVR has the ability to record on two TV channels while you are watching a third, meaning you never again need to miss your favourite shows. Its recording capabilities are impressive as it can store up to 50 hours of HD TV.
DVD Recorder
Though DVD Recorders are not as versatile as an HD PVR Decoder they are still incredibly useful for those who have extensive DVD collections or rent DVDs frequently. They also have the ability to record vast amounts of TV onto a hard drive for later viewing. What has been recorded can then be burned onto a DVD disc.
There are a variety of DVD recorders on the market, but it is recommended that you should choose either the LG RH399 or Samsung DVD-HR757. Both perform very much the same function but have different recording capacities. The LG RH278 holds up to 443 hours of recorded TV, while the Samsung DVD-HR757 can hold up to 500 hours of recorded viewing.
Both DVD recorders have ample recording space, but if they reach their maximum recording capacity, you have the luxury of burning to disc.
DVD player
A regular DVD player is perfect for the average DVD watcher. If you are seeking a more cost effective option, then a DVD player is an excellent option. It will provide the basic playing functions you require, while still providing an amazing home entertainment viewing experience.
Why not try a DVD player with HDMI upscaling? The Pioneer DV-410-k and Toshiba SD-480/580 are perfect examples this exciting new technology. Get the best picture quality out of your existing movie collection to re-watch all those old favourites and benefit from the enhanced new disks on the market.
It is recommended that you purchase a DVD player like the Pioneer DV-410V-K or Sony DVP-NS508B, both of which are great for your basic DVD viewing needs.
Multimedia Player
True media fundis should invest in a multimedia player that is capable of playing a large variety of different digital media formats, including all the standard types of video, audio and image files.
Multimedia players differ greatly in price, ranging from the relatively inexpensive Mecer MP2010 Multimedia Docking Player to the more expensive MVIX MX780HD Multimedia Player. The cost of the player largely dictates its quality and versatility. Though the MVIX multimedia player may set you back a bit more than a less sophisticated model, it is worth the extra cash.
TV
To cap off your home entertainment system, you need a TV through which to channel your new equipment. Choosing a television is largely dictated by your own taste. Different TVs appeal to different people for a variety of reasons. Some prefer an LCD TV, while others are keen to purchase a plasma TV.
While there are plenty of outstanding HD TVs to choose from, it is recommended that you choose either the Sony BRAVIA 32 LCD TV or the Samsung 32 FULL HD LCD TV 100Hz. Another option for a HD TV is the fantastic Panasonic 32" Viera HD LCD TV TX-32LE8X, it’s a real bargain and value for money with great features and specifications.
