JVC Americas to launch series of LCD televisions with docks for Apple's iPod
Posted: Monday, January 07, 2008
LAS VEGAS (AP) -- JVC Americas Corp. said Sunday that it will offer a new series of LCD televisions with built-in docks for Apple Inc.'s popular iPod media player.
The dock will allow consumers to play music and video from their iPods on JVC's P-Series TVs, JVC said in a press release. The iPod, which charges while it is in the dock, can be controlled with the TV remote.
During music playback, artist and song information is displayed on the television screen. Consumers also can view photos stored on their iPod on the TV screen and during television programming they can play music from the iPod.
JVC plans to debut 32-inch and 42-inch models in March. A 47-inch model is scheduled to launch in April, with a 52-inch model following in the summer.
Except for the 32-inch model, which offers 768p resolution, the P-Series TVs offer 1080p resolution -- the highest quality currently available.
The company did not disclose suggested retail prices.
JVC Americas is a subsidiary of Victor Company of Japan Ltd.
