Panasonic SC-PT470 v Sony DAV-DZ280 Home Cinema Systems

If you're looking for an all in one home cinema system that can act as a hub for your home audio and well as home cinema, you are currently spoilt for choice. Two systems from the biggest names in home electronics both offer systems with similar specification but with sublte differences.

The Sony DAV-DZ280 is a sleek modern looking system which includes iPod connectivity so it can really act as the hub of your system. The five speakers are all finished in gloss black and the actual DVD/amplfier unit is one of the best looking we've seen from Sony so far. At around £200 it is a very good value system too, and makes a fine purchase.

Although not quite as futurustic in design the Panasonic SC-PT470 Home Cinema System does have a sleeker and slightly more conservative look and a similar specification to the Sony. What the Panasonic does have though is a rather neat slide out drawer that acts as the iPod dock so like the Sony, the SC-PT470 can act as the hub of your home audio system.

Both systems are available for around £200 at online stores, and whichever one you choose will make your home movie watching much more enjoyable.
