The JVC TH-L1 home theater speaker system contains five satellite speakers, a subwoofer and a control unit.
If you have $299, you can trade it for the privilege of keeping the aforementioned items in your home until it or you die.
Here’s what else you get:
360 watts
Two 1080p-capable HDMI ports
Two component inputs
Two digital audio inputs
Two composite inputs
Two S-video ports
Pro Logic II, Dolby Digital, and DTS encoding
An iPod dock with track control, video output, and charging
Front-mounted USB port with support for MP3, WMA, WAV, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, and MPEG-4, and JPEG
That’s a spicy meatball for just under three Franklins. Were you to meet a girl in a bar and get up the nerve to approach her, you could invite her over to either listen to music, watch high-definition television and/or movies, watch downloadable iTunes content, take turns playing Turok complete with loud sounds and flashy graphics or maybe just have a quiet night at home flipping through whatever sounds, photos and movies you had on your killer Swiss Army flash drive.
At a first glance this system looks pretty good and got my attention. However I’m afraid the audio output isn’t good enough to consider buying this product. I’m guessing the main point JVC is trying to make with this product is the HD compatibility, but if the audio doesn’t come close the video I’m not going to spend the money. You can get similar systems from Samsung, who I really like, for the same price and a lot more power. However you won’t be getting the HD connections. Pick and choose, but if you really want the HD visuals you might want to pay a little extra to get some sound with it. Just my opinion.
