Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

JVC's AV-36D302 delivers a superb video value built on quality hardware and a dark-tinted picture tube for minimizing glare during DVD playback--a use for which the set was designed.

Video Features
This television features a three-line digital comb filter, which enhances resolution by removing the blurred edges between colors and reducing dot crawl. With compatible DVD players and satellite receivers, this set's component-video output provides 800 lines of resolution to maximize picture quality.

Audio Features
The AV-36D302 features JVC's Hyper Surround effect, which simulates surround sound from the set's two 4-watt speakers. Multiple inputs accommodate everything from DVD player and VCR to camcorder and gaming console. Two composite-video inputs grace the front and rear panels (one input each), and a single component-video input is located at the rear. Three stereo analog audio inputs accompany the video inputs, and MTS stereo decoding is included.

Other Features
The set also offers V-Chip parental control, multifunction and sleep timers, trilingual onscreen menus, and an illuminated, multibrand remote control compatible with most DVD players, VCRs, satellite receivers, and cable boxes.

Product Description

The JVC D-Series models are among the best values around with a 36" screen. If your DVD player has a component video output, you can take advantage of the component video input on these TVs to maximize picture quality. The 3-line digital comb filter improves detail while cleaning up "dot crawl" on the edges of images. Along with great performance, JVC TVs offer outstanding reliability. In fact, JVC is one of the most reliable brands in the 31"-36" range!Providing your home theater with 25% more screen area than a 32" model, the 36" AV-36D302 includes a convenient illuminated multi brand remote that operates most DVD players, VCRs, DBS receivers and cable boxes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Completely Satisfied, September 21, 2001

By	James S. Crane (Portland OR USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this set after extensively researching and comparing it to non-1080i Sony, Hitachi, and Panasonic 36" tvs, regular and flat screen. I am completely satisfied with the picture, sound, and features. The skin tones and blacks are outstanding, and the sound convincing. In the stores watching the high-definition sample programming, I slightly preferred the flat screens, but felt that they just weren't worth the considerable extra cost. Now that I have this tv at home, I find that I do not miss whatever it was that I thought I saw in the flat screens. The Sony name was not worth the extra cost, and this set offered slightly better features than the Hitachi and Panasonic. I thought hard about an hdtv but decided to wait until all format and broadcast issues were resolved and the price dropped below four figures.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good choice!, January 4, 2003

By	Jamey Cleary (Williamsburg, VA United States) - See all my reviews

I really love this TV. I caught it on sale about a year ago, and I have been very satisfied with it's performance. The picture is clear, crisp, and defined. Everything I expect and have come to rely on with JVC televisions. I have had three other JVC's and they never failed. They just got upgraded.

VCR/DVD pictures are wonderful, and the BBE and Hyper Surround Sound are both really great to use when you don't have a home theater setup. The boys also prefer to use this to play their games on. That 36 inch screen really makes the games cool enough for even adults to enjoy. I recently added Digital cable, and the picture is even better than before.

The only con I have is that there are certain functions that can only be accessed by the remote. If you lose the remote (a common thing around here!) you lose the ability to switch the BBE or Hyper surround off.

I will eventually go to a HDTV format but I am going to wait until it gets a little more intergrated in broadcasting.
In the meantime, This is the perfect compliment to my home theater.

2.0 out of 5 stars Display isnt great!, February 17, 2002

By A Customer

After seeing the price, features and the review - this looked like a great deal. I walked into circuit city to watch this TV. It has a very poor display. I decided to pass on this TV.
