JVC TH-S3 320 Watts Progressive Scan DVD Home Theater System description
JVC's TH-S3 home theater system delivers top-of-the-line progressive-scan video and world-class sound from high-resolution DVD-Audio discs, which feature your favorite albums specially mixed to take advantage of discrete, multichannel surround sound. The 312-watt (total) system supports most popular optical disc formats, including DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, DVD-RW, DVD-R, CD, CD-R, CD-RW, SVCD, VCD, MP3 CD, JPEG image CD, and WMA/MPEG-4 CD. DVD-Audio offers super high-fidelity (192 kHz/24-bit) sound. DVD-Audio discs provide multichannel and stereo sound, incredible storage capacity, and unique bonus materials not available on regular audio CDs.

At the core of the system is a low-profile integrated single-disc DVD receiver. It offers the latest image-enhancing benefits, including a 10-bit/54 MHz video digital-to-analog converter (DAC) for detailed images. If, now or later, you're using a high-definition or HD_ready TV or monitor, you'll appreciate the system's Digital Direct Progressive Scan output, which delivers a seamless, flicker-free image closer to what you see in theaters than standard interlaced outputs can produce.

For audiophiles, onboard 192 kHz/24-bit audio DACs maximize the capabilities of DVD-Audio discs as well as more common PCM stereo and Dolby Digital/DTS audio tracks. Dolby Pro Logic II generates 5.1-channel sound from any stereo (2-channel) source, including your MP3 files.

All speakers are powered by 52 watts per channel. The subwoofer drives home your movies' low-frequency effects with its 6.2-inch woofer; system frequency response is rated at a nearly full-range 40 to 20,000 Hz.

With a redesigned drive mechanism and new algorithms for media identification and parameter optimization, JVC's Express Start feature will deliver the first scene of a movie onscreen in just under 4 seconds (with single-layer discs). JVC's laser pickup offers superior resistance to mistracking resulting from disc warpage and other damage. JVC has developed a new and even higher-performance pickup, officially named "Rolling Pickup," which follows wandering tracks and plays warped discs with impeccable precision.

Other features include analog audio inputs to accommodate a VCR, plus a digital-audio input for a digital satellite receiver. Three video outputs--component-video, S-video, and composite-video--guarantee compatibility with any currently available television or monitor. You also get a high-performance radio tuner with 15 AM and 30 FM station presets, a headphone output for private listening, a choice of 3 onscreen languages (English, French, or Spanish), Express Play start (to bypass DVD menus and get right to your movie), and a multi-brand TV/VCR remote control with a sliding lid.
