Price is hard to beat; HDMI and iPod connections; attractive looking; easy to setup

JVC TH-L1

 

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

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...

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.

Small size, HDMI inputs to pass high quality video

No HDMI Sound...

 

dkunkel6 hit it right on the nose with the lack of sound that cannot be used from the HDMI cables. It was very disappointing. On the bright side, the unit is small, compact, and actually sounds better than the cnet review. The only thing I would add is...

Small, Easy to use, Sounds really good

No HDMI sound available, Missing 3rd digital optical input
