If you're in the market for a shelf-sized DVD system/stereo receiver combination, the CS-V720S makes an excellent choice if you don't mind paying a bit more for a name. You could buy a fairly good surround system from the competition for the same price...

Stereo home-theater minisystem; can be upgraded to full 5.1-channel sound; plays CDs, SACDs, MP3/WMA CDs, DVDs, and DVD-As; compatible with Onkyos iPod dock; XM Satellite Radio ready; stereo two-way bookshelf speakers; virtual surround mode.
Lacks the muscle to provide full-scale home-theater thrills and chills; iPod and XM features require accessories sold separately.
Onkyos affordable, full-featured CS-V720 is a great do-it-all option for bedrooms and dens that are too small for full-size home-theater systems.
