Onkyo HT-S4100

Onkyo's HT-S4100 home theatre system aims to be one of the most versatile and best-sounding products in its price bracket. Slightly less powerful than other prominent Onkyo offerings, the HT-S4100 still puts out 750 watts (RMS) through its 5.1 surround speaker arrangement.

The receiver includes select key features found in similar products, but foregoes many others for the sake of affordability and simplicity - Onkyo's CinemaFILTER technology balances the overall tone of any input device's sountrack, and works alongside dts and Dolby-supported modes for listening to media. The HT-S4100 does not support HDMI, instead supporting High Definition audio with 5.1 multi-channel inputs for use with Blu Ray players. Also included is an iPod dock for easy home listening.
