JVC features new 5.1 HTiB range

Top model includes wireless rear speakers, iPod® connection and 1080p up-conversion through HDMI.

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.
