JVC's latest HTIB, the TH-L1, is HD ready


Since the whole world is going HD crazy, it only makes sense for typical home theater gear to follow suit. JVC's latest home theater in a box (HTIB), the TH-L1, will definitely make it easier for those who just bought an HDTV, then realize it's hard to enjoy 5.1 audio without a surround sound system. What sets the TH-L1 apart from your typical HTIB is that it has both component and HDMI switching (1080p capable, but not HDMI 1.3) as well as an iPod interface. The system also includes five speakers, a subwoofer, DTS and Dolby Digital decoding, and an array of inputs on the front and back, all for $299. Simply add an HDTV and Hi-Def disc player and enjoy.
