There are rather a lot of people out there whose primary interest is music, but who still like the idea of being able to play DVDs, too. Typically, these customers already own a good stereo system, which means that buying a replacement Japanese 5.1 Home Cinema system would actually represent a downgrade in sound quality, as well as filling the room up with speakers. Keeping the old separates for music and buying a Home Cinema system on top, isn't particularly appealing either, because it would add even more clutter to the lounge.

It's a difficult dilemma - but now we have the answer!

Arcam's Solo Movie 2.1 represents the perfect all-in-one solution, boasting audiophile performance on music, 1080i HDMI output on DVD and DAB radio to boot. What's more, all this performance does not come at the expense of connectivity, because the 2.1 will accept 2 additional HDMI inputs (e.g. Sky and PS3) then output all three sources to your TV via one HDMI lead at 1080i. What is particularly gratifying about the Movie 2.1, is that whether you're playing your favourite CD track or the latest blockbuster movie, the sound quality is all you would expect from one of the industry's most respected manufacturers. Arcam Solo Movie 5.1 is even better, but if you definitely don't want five speakers in your room, then the Solo Movie 2.1 is far and away the best there is.
