Description:

The TH-M45 complete home theater features the world's smallest five-disc DVD changer to employ JVC's Direct Digital Progressive Scan technology. The system also features built-in Dolby Digital, DTS, and Dolby Pro Logic II 5.1-channel surround processing with a multichannel surround speaker setup to envelop you in luscious sound from movies and music. For thunderous sound at loud levels and clear, full-bodied sound at quiet levels, the TH-M45 pumps out 120 watts x 2 (left, right), 80 watts x 3 (center, left/right surrounds), and comes with a standalone 120-watt powered subwoofer.

The TH-M45's high-resolution component-video output delivers the best possible video reproduction to compatible high-definition and HD-ready televisions and monitors, and an optical digital-audio input accommodates stereo and multichannel audio feeds from digital satellite systems and DTV set-top boxes.

Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. The Direct Digital Progressive Scan feature is defeatable so you can use the component-video outputs with non-HD-ready compatible TVs. Composite- and S-video jacks facilitate hookup with most other sets in use today.

A four-mode digital acoustic processor (DAP) simulates different sonic environments, which you can adjust on a program-by-program basis. The onboard digital FM/AM tuner offers 45 station presets (30 FM and 15 AM), and the supplied full-function remote control also operates most brands of TV and VCR. Simplifying your installation and hookup is the system's single-cable data feed and color-coded speaker wires.

What's in the Box
DVD player/integrated surround amplifier, 5 satellite speakers, a powered subwoofer, a remote control, remote batteries, a user's manual, and all requisite cabling.
