The Pioneer SE-A1000 headphones are great for watching movies or listening to music. They are lightweight and will not fatigue your ears.

And yes, we really did say 60in. For Pioneer has finally answered our prayers and blasted through its self-imposed 50in barrier for the first time on a domestic plasma TV. Seriously, if this monster can retain the same sort of image quality found on Pioneer's smaller screens, we're going to be very happy - if rather bankrupt - bunnies indeed.

We test Pioneer's flagship receiver, the VSX-84TXSi to see if this is a beast to be reckoned with. Is Pioneer's best, worth looking at?

You've got to admire Pioneer's stubbornness. For while every other traditional plasma supporter in town - even die-hards like Panasonic and Fujitsu - now produces LCD screens as well, Pioneer is sticking doggedly to its 100 per cent plasma guns. Only last week on a visit to Pioneer in Japan the powers that be reiterated the fact that they simply don't see LCD as a true home cinema option, and have no roadmap for introduce LCD somewhere down the line.

There are some major fault to be found with the DV-490V DVD player. The lack of an optical audio output and even an LED power indicator prove to us that Pioneer cut a lot of corners to get the DV-490V into the sub 100 dollar price bracket. Plus when you figure that you need to buy an HDMI cable separately, you are back up into the 200 dollar price range ? not where you want to be with this player. Video playback is fairly average, if not on the low side. We love the picture viewing and music capabilities of the DV-490V though. Overall this player would be better suited for the bedroom or family room rather than the home theater room; but that?s probably where Pioneer intended it to be used.

The Inno ($350) offers a band of attractive features including live on-the-go listening without an external antenna, a 10-minute memory buffer and a gig of storage that can be divvied up among XM tunes and your own music collection. Add the XM+Napster capability and you can later download songs to the PC that you?ve bookmarked on the device. For those new to satellite radio, this combination home, portable and car (with an optional kit) device makes a complete starter system.

Without question one of the finest TVs we've looked at to date in our pre-World Cup TV marathon has been Pioneer's PDP-436XDE 43in plasma. But even that slice of home cinema heaven had a couple of issues that might put some people off, namely its slightly high price and its use of a separate external box for tuner and AV connection duties. Cue Pioneer's PDP-436SXE: a new 43in plasma model that slashes £500 off the XDE price and shifts all the connections onto the screen itself, making it a more direct, fuss-free replacement for your current TV. But has this more affordable all-in-one approach forced Pioneer to sacrifice any of its trademark quality? Read on...

Once the shining light of TV technology, plasma's aura is starting to wane so far as an increasingly LCD-obsessed public is concerned. Clever spin-doctoring, savage price cutting and ever-bigger screen sizes from LCD makers have started to push plasma so far into the background that we're starting to think it needs to sign up Max Clifford if it's going to survive. Either that or the latest screens to carry the plasma flag, like Pioneer's PDP-436XDE, need to be so darned good that they win punters over with their sheer quality...

When subjected to Nero DVD Speed, the drive proved that it's capable of high-speed data transfers across the entire range of DVD formats, including DVD±RW media. It also placed a very minimal overhead on the processor when executing optical disc to hard disk drive transfers. Even so, it returned slow seek times in the Full Stroke Seek test and resultantly, the Pioneer drive fell short of acing Nero's DVD Speed benchmark.
