A Home Theater Under Rs 1 Lakh
By: Siddharth Bhatia   |   Oct 22, 2007

Sound System
Onkyo HT SR600
Rs 24,990 (festive sale offer) / Rs 30,000 (retail)

This system is quite new in the market, and it’s from a stable of high-quality steeds. Onkyo is after all no new name in the world of home theater. The HT SR600 is a package containing an AV receiver and five speakers, with a matching sub.

Silver and gray make up the exterior of the components, which look quite neat and trim. The speaker grilles are black, and sizewise they fall under the category of wooden satellites. The receiver model is R 340, while the speaker system is HTP 350. The set is compatible in terms of looks and sound.

The system offers pumping sound, with very good bass and overall timing. All the T-rex roars and driveby scenes that might have felt orphaned in our previous budget feature are present here in their full flamboyance.

The set is easy to set up and use, though adapting to the remote takes time as it has lots of buttons. The receiver is comprehensive and responsive to most issues. Do check out the specs.

Philips is more than enough. I spent 3 months doing research on which 32" LCD I should go for. Sonly and samsung are expensive and good. But we use TV mostly for cable TV/Sky TV or playing DVD's. We are not going to get many HD or blue ray movie CD's in market. Still I say that the HD quality is excellent in philips even though Sony or Samsung look a bit better. But when it comes to daily use to cable tv channels, this is a good one!
My advice: Sony, Samsung etc, dealers run only HD format as demo. Ask the dealer to show how just an ordinary cable TV output looks like in all the model. All look the same. Then why spend more money? Thats why I went for philips.

Sids,

I love the way you packed everything into 1 lac figure. I, for one, would have gone for better sound and got a big, bulky, and less expensive CRT TV instead - and put some of that "saved" money in better speakers.

Nice work. Keep it up.

instead of philips screen we can opt for sony v series 32 inch secondly you should also mention the availability of the products such as denon and onkyo. from where we can buy and get it serviced it should be one of the parameters for recommendations as we do not buy home theatres every 6 months.

Is a Yamaha YHT 185 as good as this
Onkyo? It is available at a festival discount and I was wondering if I could buy it.
