JVC introduced new home entertainment systems that offer a high-performance home theater experience, enhanced connectivity and compatibility with a wide range of digital formats.

The three new systems, the TH-G30, TH-G40 and TH-G50, are 1000-watt, 5.1-channel systems comprised of a progressive scan DVD receiver, five speakers and a subwoofer. The new systems also include a high-quality HDMI output with 1080p video up-conversion for connectivity with the latest HD televisions to enhance picture quality and sound. In addition, two of the three new systems offer iPod® connectivity.

Addressing a common complaint among consumers trying to integrate a home theater system into a room, JVC’s new top model, the TH-G50, features wireless rear speakers, simplifying set-up and eliminating the need to run wires across the room. Both the TH-G50 and TH-G40 offer Made for iPod compliance, with a provided docking station that allows the user to control play, pause and skip functions and routes video from an iPod (5G models only) through the system and to a connected display. What’s more, the iPod charges while connected.

All three systems are designed to complement the latest generation of sleekly styled flat panel TVs. The glossy black low-profile receiver has illuminated function keys, while the speakers are likewise slim designs. As for playback options, JVC’s home entertainment systems easily accommodate both the old and the new, combining DVD/CD and FM playback with the ability to handle digital audio and video files from a wide variety of sources.

A new JVC home theater system announced today offers simple set-up, high performance and connectivity options that allow it to accommodate the full range of digital home entertainment devices, all wrapped in an elegant, hi-fi component-style design.

JVC’s new TH-F3 home theater system is a four-piece, 4.1-channel system featuring a DVD receiver with HDMI output with 1080p up-conversion, USB Host, an iPod® docking station and DivX playback. To deliver on its simplicity promise, the TH-F3 features JVC’s front surround technology combined with a new speaker design, eliminating the need for rear speakers and the placement problems they often create. Further simplifying setup, there are only three speaker wires to connect. The new system is designed to complement the latest generation of flat panel TVs, with a sleek, black-on-black main unit and small, cylindrical, wall-mountable main speakers.

At the heart of JVC’s new TH-F3 home theater system is a compact DVD receiver with a two-tone flat/glossy black cabinet and a large, prominent aluminum volume knob. Features include USB Host, allowing easy connection and playback of music, movie and picture files from external USB mass storage devices, including flash audio players, card readers, USB memory drives and digital still cameras. Supported file formats include MP3, WMA, JPEG, MPEG-4 ASF and DivX Ultra, the latest version of the popular video compression technology. Files of every supported format can be played back through a device connected via USB Host or from a CD/DVD. An included iPod dock allows easy playback of music files and offers iPod control and charging.

As for connections, the system offers HDMI CEC (consumer electronics control), allowing products to communicate with one another, component output, composite output, optical audio input, and an analog audio input.

Central to the TH-F3’s performance is the speaker system. The 4.1-channel system employs five amplifiers in the main unit – main left, main right, surround left, surround right, and subwoofer. The two main speakers each contain two separate drivers – the bottom driver handles the main channel, while the top driver handles the surround information. The speakers use a newly-developed diaphragm that provides a broader soundfield than a conventional diaphragm. To reduce resonance, the cabinet is made from high-density material with wood reinforcement. This speaker technology combines with JVC’s Front Surround circuitry to deliver a compelling surround sound experience without the need for rear speakers. In addition, new JVC Clear Voice Function circuitry enhances the dialog to ensure that it’s clearly heard. Also included is a 6.5-inch subwoofer.

The TH-F3 breaks new ground in speaker set-up simplicity. There are just three wires to connect, and connecting them is a five-step process compared to the six wires and 24 steps required when connecting a conventional home-theater-in-a-box speaker system. Cables are hard-wired to each speaker, eliminating connections on that end, while a plug on the other end simplifies connection to the main unit.
