JVC THL1 5.1 Channel Home Theater Surround Media System

46 comments - Post a comment

The good: Tiny bookshelf-size home theater in a box; numerous connectivity options including two HDMI inputs that support up to 1080p; USB port for digital media; iPod audio and video playback; attractive price point.

The bad: No built-in DVD player; small speakers and relatively low wattage limit power and sound quality; supports only three concurrent AV sources; no HDMI up-conversion for analog video sources; USB mode requires you to select the type of media before you play it; new iPods will only be able to play audio through the unit.

The bottom line: While the sound isn't overpowering, the wealth of connectivity options and features bundled into the JVC TH-L1 home theater in a box makes it well worth the inexpensive price tag.

The good: Stylish iPod speaker system; stereo, two-way speakers; cute remote; charges connected iPod; line-in support lets you use non-iPod music players as well.

The bad: Not in the same league as Klipsch's mighty iPod speaker set, the iFi.

The bottom line: Klipsch's new iGroove iPod speaker trumps the competition's tweeterless models.

Sharp SD-SP10The good: The Sharp SD-SP10 is the most affordable single-speaker surround/subwoofer system, but it's sonically competitive with more expensive competitors. It employs Dolby Virtual Speaker Technology and Audistry surround processing, offers excellent connectivity and supereasy setup, and it delivers a space-saving design.

The bad: The surround-sound effects disappear for listeners seated off to the sides.

The bottom line: Sharp's SD-SP10 budget-priced virtual-surround speaker/subwoofer combo is sonically competitive with far more expensive single-speaker systems.
