JVC is getting hip to the digital media age as it brings streaming audio to 5 new products

In a recent press release JVC announced the company will hop on the digital media bandwagon by offering a line of audio and video set top hardware which will support connectivity to PCs to stream music to the home theater.

JVC will be launching five models of audio/video receivers that feature 7.1-channel surround sound and will also have USB audio inputs built in to them. We are assuming this will be a single-directional USB port. Two of these models will have wireless USB connections built in which are said to operate at around or up to 100 feet away from a wireless access point.

Additionally, HDMI will also be built in to two of these models, the RX-D702B and the RX-D411S/412B (silver/black). These models will have 2 HDMI inputs and 1 HDMI output to a compatible HDTV. Two other models will not feature the HDMI inputs/outputs, but they will have component output with the ability to up-convert composite and S-Video sources.

To add to the digital connectivity JVC has included compatibility with XM Satellite Radio equipment.  JVC's press release claims:

The new JVC RX-D411S/412B and RX-D211S/212B receivers are XM Satellite Radio-ready and so have the ability to access XM Satellite Radio through XM Connect and Play, an optional tuner that connects through a single cable – no power cord or audio cables are required. All XM Satellite Radio functions are operated through the receiver’s remote and information is shown on the receiver’s display.

The included remote also has a few buttons to control Sirius Satellite Radio tuners offered by JVC as an added bonus to give consumers the option between the two satellite radio providers.

The entire line will also feature JVC's Hybrid Feedback digital amplifier which has a small package but is said to pack quite a punch to assure the output of sound with little to no loss of quality. This technology helps shrink down the size of the receiver to a lower profile.

Further details on the 5 new models along with pricing for each is included in the press release but make sure you do a quick search online for lower prices before hitting your local brick and mortar electronics retailer.

Slow news day?

Not that this isn't somewhat useful to someone out there, but why is this news exactly? Receivers have had those functions for quite some time. Just wondering if things are slow. :)

This seems like a lot of free publicity for JVC for no apparent reason. I guess their check cleared?

XM Satellite Radio?

The last I heard, XM Satellite Radio being sued by the RIAA for what could amount to tens of billions of dollars for allowing people to save a digital copy of tracks they broadcast. A bit like AllofMP3.com (who the RIAA are also slightly upset about but can't directly attack as they aren't based in the good ole US and A) except that you can't ask for a specific track from XM Radio.

If the RIAA win their case, XM could be shutdown.

Intersting but unlikely. The XM products that do the recording never even shipped, so even if XM lost it's not a disatorous loss. I'm more of a Sirius guy anyway.

SIrius has a recording portable player out now. And you can get that XM recording device on their website now too. Sirius is better, more coverage. Channels are about equal. I bet they'll merge.

I don't think Sirius and XM will merge. More likely, they will merge with DirecTV or Dish Network. Both Sirius and XM are working on video-on-demand services and 5.1 audio, so it would make sense for them to pair up with one of the satellite TV companies.
