Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Sleek, affordable, and attractive, the JVC TH-A30 enriches the home theater experience through its 5.1-channel surround and progressive-scan DVD player. The device offers decoding for Dolby Digital, DTS, and Pro Logic formats, which individually offer discrete, full-bodied surround sound through the included five satellite speakers and subwoofer. For superior video, the component uses its progressive-scan output to display a crisp image at 60 frames per second.

The system plays CD, DVD, CD-R/RW, video CD, SVCD, and MP3 formats, giving users a variety of listening options. Users will also enjoy the five-mode digital acoustic processor, which simulates the environmental acoustics at live concerts, along with the dynamic range compression, which lets you experience powerful sound even at low volume levels. The DVD player is equipped with many of the most popular features, including zoom, slow motion, resume, and a multi-angle function, which allows you to view a scene from several different angles when offered by the DVD (a still-rare option). Consumers who appreciate radio programming will be pleased with the included AM/FM tuner, which offers 15 AM and 15 FM presets.

The elements that really complete the system are the five satellite speakers, each of which features a single 3-3/16-inch full-range driver in a bass reflex enclosure, and the 110-watt subwoofer with its 7-7/8-inch woofer. The speakers are video shielded, so you can place them near a TV, and they also come equipped with mounting threads and holes along the back. To enhance compatibility, the TH-A30 includes composite-video, S-video, and component-video outputs, along with multiple stereo RCA input jacks. The system includes a multibrand remote control and carries a one-year warranty on parts and 90 days on labor.

What's in the Box
DVD player/receiver, five satellite speakers, subwoofer, speaker cables, composite-video cord, AM and FM antennas, remote control, two AAA batteries, user's manual.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sound that a College Student Can Afford, December 26, 2002

By 

Chris Sittner (Eugene, OR United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: JVC TH-A30 Progressive-Scan DVD Home Theater System (Electronics)

An amazing system, not only does it play DVDs with Progressive Scan but it also plays MP3s, VCDs, SVCDs, CDs, CD-Rs, and CD-RWs. Which is what any decent audio system should do. It can pick up radio signals. And the remote is rather easy to use.

The sound is great, hooking it up is a breeze. The player has a nice aesthetic to it as well. And the bass, you would not believe the beautiful bass this thing puts out. I am still awestruck by the beautiful sound such a system could put out. Sure, it's no where near the best, but for the price it's top of the line.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Home Theather but..., August 29, 2003

This review is from: JVC TH-A30 Progressive-Scan DVD Home Theater System (Electronics)

Well, this is my second Home Theather, first one was a Sony.OK first of all is a nice and very good looking equipment, speakers come with lot of wire. Now let explain my "but" word in review tittle. This JCV comes with "Stock" Sound (average and good) and I use the word Stock because amazing or not, JVC decide to avoid any control of bass and treble. I dont know why, but I dont care any excuses, this is very important for me, obviously each CD, MP3 or even DVD comes with diferent levels of bass and treble and the only control that you have with this Home theater is subw level and delay of speakers... Good equipment overall but...!

3.0 out of 5 stars Fan failed, December 27, 2003

By 

Jim Madole (Grand Rapids, Michigan United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: JVC TH-A30 Progressive-Scan DVD Home Theater System (Electronics)

Liked the sound and picture quality until the cooling fan failed after about a year. Now DVDs and some CDs freeze up after it gets too hot unless I keep a portable fan blowing on it during operation. Purchased it at Media Play which has since gone out of business. Having a []time finding a replacement fan. Also wish I would have invested a little more and purchased one with a multiple CD changer.
