Description
The shops are awash with 'home entertainment' products ...but what do they do, and what does it all mean? This book separates the hype from reality; investigates whether one device really can replace your stero system, video recorder, DVD player and games console; and considers both the integrated 'Media Centre' approach and some appealing alternatives. If you want to kit out your home with the ultimate in digital entertainment - without breaking the bank - this is the guide for you.
