JVC NX-BD3 Blu-ray player

JVC launches NX-BD3 Blu-ray player with 2.1 speaker system

JVC is claiming a world first with the introduction of its DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) enabled Blu-ray home cinema in a box system, which will be available from September for £799 ($1180 USD).

The NX-BD3 2.1 system – part of the company’s Sophisti range – is DLNA 1.5 certified, enabling it to play back digital media files from a PC either via a wired or wireless home network. It can stream Full HD video files, as well as standard-definition MPEG videos, JPEG still pictures and MP3/WMA music.

You also get the benefit of K2, a sound-processing mode which JVC claims will upscale MP3s to CD quality and bump CDs up to DVD Audio levels. BD3 can also play DivX from DVDs.
