JVC THD60 Home Theater System

This system is designed to complement the latest generation of sleekly styled rear projection and flat panel TVs. The black low-profile receiver has illuminated touch panel controls, while the speakers are likewise slim designs. As for playback options, JVC's HD Home Cineplex systems easily accommodate both the old and the new, combining DVD/CD and AM/FM playback with the ability to handle digital audio and video files from a wide variety of sources.

For iPod fans, the TH-D60 offers Made for iPod compliance, with a provided dock that allows the system to control play, pause and skip functions and routes video from an iPod though the system and to a connected display. What's more, the iPod charges while connected.

This system also offers 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, DivX and MPEG-4 ASF. For playing back video files, JVC's HD Home Cineplex systems are DivX Ultra certified, so they can play back DivX Ultra files, the latest version of the popular video compression technology. DivX files can be played back through a device connected via USB Host or from a DVD.
