NX-BD3 Blu-ray home theater system

JVC’s newest addition to its Sophisti line-up is the NX-BD3 Blu-ray home theater system, which is the company’s first Blu-ray system and the first dedicated Blu-ray player in the industry to feature Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) compatibility via a wireless adapter update.

Supported audio formats will include Dolby Digital, DTS and Dolby Pro-Logic II. Continue Reading…
