This holiday season may well see the mass adoption of Blu-ray in many homes. We have the PS3 at a new bargain price sporting its Blu-ray capability and we are seeing new stand-alone Blu-ray players pop up at much more affordable prices. It wasn’t so long ago that Blu-ray players were still well over $300. JVC has just announced a new Blu-ray player called the XV-BP11 that is available right now.
Victor JVC in Japan have pushed out a new home theater speaker system, and unlike most such such setups it doesn’t look like it will intrude too significantly on your living room. The Victor JVC AX-FT1/FT2 amplifier and SP-FT1/FT2 speakers are 31mm and 30.8mm deep, respectively, but the amp still manages to output four channels of 20W apiece.
Video cameras are very popular, especially small ones that are designed for use on the go and uploading directly to popular video sharing sites. JVC has unveiled a new camcorder called the PICSIO GC-FM1 that is designed for users looking for a simple camera that can shoot still shots and HD resolution video. The camera can shoot 8MP still shots in addition to 1080p video.
Camcorders are one of the devices that just about everyone has today. Parents use them to shoot miles of footage of their kids, mostly hoping to get something humiliating they can hold over their kids heads when they grow up. JVC has unveiled a new full HD camcorder for video fans called the GZ-HM400.
We already talked a bit about the massive 110-pound JVC pro projector with 4K resolution yesterday. If that projector was more than your budget and space could handle, JVC also has other projectors. JVC has debuted six more projectors at CEDIA that are somewhat more affordable.
CEDIA is still going strong, and with announcements like this one from JVC, we can see why. The DLA-RS4000 is a projector with some hefty specifications, which includes the heavy lifting necessary to move this thing around. Especially compared to JVC’s earlier offerings, this new projector is a beast. And believe us when we say, the price tag reflects that statement.
JVC have announced that the super-slim 32-inch LCD display they released in Japan back in August will hit the US in November. The tuner-free panel measures 6.4mm (1/4-inch) deep at its thinner point, and weighs 5.7kg (12.5lbs), and will launch as the JVC LT-32WX50 in US.
JVC have outed their latest range of D-ILA home theater projectors, with a full six models on offer spanning prices from $5,000 to $10,000. Three – the DLA-RS35, DLA-RS25 and DLA-RS15 – will be pushed via JVC’s professional products arm, while the remainder – the DLA-HD990, DLA-HD950 and DLA-HD550 – will go on sale via the consumer group. Most impressive about all the models, though, are their contrast ratios: even the entry HD550 manages 30,000:1, while the top-spec RS35 and HD990 manage 70,000:1.
JVC announced today a brand new addition to their Everio line-up. The new model is called the GZ-HM400 and it’s an HD camcorder with the 1080i widescreen and H.264 goodness of the GZ-X900 but an all new 10.2-megapixel sensor.

Headphones-a-plenty from JVC today, as the company announces two new sets of over-the-ear cans and two sets of multicolored in-ear headphones.

The M750 uses 1.57-inch drivers while the S650 uses slightly smaller 1.42-inch drivers; they'll be available in August for $79.95 and $69.95 respectively.
