Onkyo HT-S3200 (black)
Editors' rating: 3.5
The good: Affordable, powerful, great-sounding 5.1 surround system; can switch up to three HD sources and three audio-only sources.
The bad: No upscaling or conversion for analog video sources; HDMI is video-only; some remote annoyances; no onscreen display or set up; you need to supply the DVD or Blu-ray player.
The bottom line: While it lacks some of the features found in more expensive home theater systems, the Onkyo HT-S3200 delivers great sound and solid performance at a bargain price.
