If you want surround sound and a big screen, but aren’t yet ready to make the move to widescreen, then the AV-29SX4 ought to be on your shortlist. It’s a budget set that comes with a Dolby Pro-Logic decoder and a full set of speakers including a pair of external surround models for you to hook up. If you can't find space for the rear speakers it also includes JVC’s 3D-Phonic ‘surround from just the speakers in the set’ system. Other facilities include a widescreen mode, an eco mode (which automatically gauges the light in your room and adjusts the set’s contrast level accordingly) and a host of picture and sound tweaks.
