For novices in the field or who simply want a good wireless surround sound system and are not too interested in complicated configurations, the HTP-4600 by Pioneer is ideal for them. It is simple, easy to put together and the speakers and terminals are color-coded to facilitate easy usage. The main speakers are slim and sleek while the surround speakers can be detached and made to face any angle. The sound quality of the system is very good, given its price and it is a hassle-free system for beginners.

Amongst many brands in the market, Philips, too, has jumped on to the bandwagon of surround sound Systems and offers a "home theater in a box" with its system LX3750W. With its elegant speaker, it certainly makes for an interesting-looking sound system and it is also easy to configure.

This particular wireless surround sound system offers impressive bass and treble, but the mids tend to become blurred.

However, even a DVD playerintegrated in the system and for most users the Philips LX3750W is good enough for their home.

Samsung has integrated the latest Bluetooth technology in its HT-DB390 model. It is a wireless 5.1 channel system and incorporates a 100 watt subwoofer.

A 5-disc DVD changer ensures that the movie marathon runs smoothly.

Sony is another of the many brands which offers a sophisticated wireless surround sound system. It uses digital infrared technology which allows sound to be transmitted to the two rear speakers with astounding clarity. The models from the DAV series from Sony look ultra-modern and sleek with silver colored, narrow prisms serving as speakers. DVD/CD players are included in many of their models from the DAV series.

The HTB-S610 from the Kenwood stable uses radio technology to send out 5.1 channel surround sound to its many speakers. The rear speakers can be placed 100 feet away from the receiver yet the transmission is impressive. With so many brands on the market the buyer is definitely spoilt for choice.
