In late 2007,
JVC
Home Theater
announced the release of a new home theater system with a feature
unique in the industry.
While many home theater receivers have ports
for MP3 players, iPods, and even USB drives, the new JVC Sophisti DD-3
has an Ethernet connection.
This Ethernet port allows the system to be
hooked into your home’s computer network, or to a single
computer. You can connect it to a wired or wireless router.
An Ethernet-connected home theater system is
an exciting feature. Using your television, you can access your
complete digital music collection, so there is no need to hook a stereo
system into the receiver.
In addition, you can pull up digital photos
and other picture files, creating an on-screen photo album or
scrapbook. What a great way to look through the family photos together.
Slide shows and digital home movies are easily viewed as well, when
it’s just a matter of hooking up to your home computer.
Of course, the Sophisti DD-3 also has a USB
port, allowing users to connect their USB drives, digital cameras, and
digital camcorders directly into the system. Music can be played back
through the system’s speakers, and photos and videos are
viewed right on your television screen.
Use the two features in
tandem…run music from your computer in the background while
you’re looking through photos that are stored on your camera
or a flash drive.
This new JVC home theater system has the
same features as most other home theaters, including a DVD player and
receiver, and a subwoofer. The system power is 220 watts. The
system’s surround sound is created with specialized front
speakers.
Using their patented Direct Drive
technology, all listeners
enjoy a wide soundfield with the illusion of having speakers placed
directly behind them. The main left and right speakers are attractive
and meant for table-top placement.
The Sophisti DD-3, JVC home
theater’s exciting new system, offers a feature that no one
else has offered before in home theater. The ability to hook a home
theater up to the home’s computer network creates endless
possibilities for visual and audio entertainment.
