Don't know of any off hand but if you get down to Smiths and have a look through the home cinema mags you may find some recommendations in your price range or try searching for home cinema websites for their reviews.

I think you would be lucky to get anything decent for under £200. Have a look around for the JVC TH-A5. This has just been discontinued and you may get it for somewhere near that. Also, take a look at http://www.avforums.com . The same question there might get results or you could try posting a wanted message on their buy/sell forum.

There is an LG DA 5620 on offer at Dixons /Currys for £199:99
it received a 5 star review in Home Entertainment mag.Tested against a Sony , JVC and one other ( can't recall which) came out top and seems to be OK. Was thought to be very good value at £400 now on sale at half price check Currys web site , was in stock yesterday

The Sony HTK-25 was on Unbeatable for under £200 a while ago, I don't know if it still is. In fact now I've remembered that I think I might just be tempted myself if it is still there as for that price it is an excellent piece of kit

[edit] Just had a look and it can be found here however I just realised you are probably looking for something with a DVD player as well but this is just a reciever/amp and speakers.

If you want it even cheaper than Unbeatable...

You can get it at HiFiBitz for 199.99 with free postage. And it's in stock (or at least it was on Friday) - unlike unbeatable who are quoting 14 working days delivery.

Yes the LG does indeed support Dolby Pro-logic 2 and of course has an inbuilt DVD player
