52" Class 1920 x 1080 Flat Panel LCD with TeleDock iPod Docking Station

TV playback of iPod video content is more convenient than ever with the announcement of the JVC LCD TVs with a built-in iPod dock. This model features JVC's TeleDock, a flip-down iPod dock at the base of the set, providing a direct connection for playback through the TV. When an iPod is docked, a menu appears on the TV screen for selecting music, music shuffle or video playback. iPod can be controlled from the TV's remote, which includes a circular keypad with a control scheme that mimics the iPod's control wheel. Photos can also be displayed as a slide show along with music. During music playback, song title and artist name are displayed on the TV screen. During video playback, low resolution files, such as internet videos, can be displayed in a small screen mode. Higher resolution video can be shown in nine aspect modes at full screen. There's also the option to play music files while the TV displays television programming. In addition, the iPod will charge while docked whether the TV's power is on or off. Besides the iPod dock and playback features, JVC's P-Series LCD TVs are full featured high definition displays with a cabinet design that conveys the sets' focus on both audio and video performance. Each features a universal remote with direct input access, a on-screen menu system, a side-mounted USB photo viewer, and ATSC/QAM tuning. Connections include three HDMI inputs, two component inputs, one S-video input, SPDIF input and an analog audio output for sending sound from an iPod or the TV through a home theater system. The sound package delivers 10 watts per channel to a pair of JVC's exclusive oblique cone speakers. And JVC's Omni Surround package with equalizer offers four listening modes – movie, music, news (for news or talk show programming) and mono (for simulated stereo from mono programming).

13 Selectable Aspect Modes

Broadcasts vary and so do people’s preferences as to how their shows look best on the screen. Some individuals don’t mind black bars, others find them annoying. JVC gives viewers the power to refill the screen eight different ways:

Cinema Zoom mode

zooms in on an HD 16:9 image eliminating the surrounding “picture frame”.

Panorama Zoom mode

stretches an HD 4:3 image from the edges to fill the 16:9 screen and eliminates side bars.

Full mode HD

makes no adjustment to the incoming signal. 16:9 broadcasts will fill the screen perfectly with no distortion (in HD).

Slim mode

detects signal modes that are broadcast as 16:9 but are actually 4:3 and corrects them to display properly (in HD).

Cinema mode

zooms in on a 4:3 image, fitting it to the entire 16:9 viewing area (in SD).

Panorama mode

stretches a normal 4:3 aspect to fill the 16:9 viewing area (in SD).

Full mode

stretches the image from the center to fill the screen (in SD).

Regular mode

makes no adjustment to the incoming signal. 4:3 broadcasts will have side bars. (in SD).
