Over here in the US, JVC fans have had to watch with lustful eyes at all the JVC Blu-ray products in the rest of the world, but no more. Today JVC has announced both a stand-alone Blu-ray player and a 3.1 home theater in a box. The XV-PB1 Blu-ray player will be available in March for $299 and as you'd expect, it will support BD Live content as well as playback AVCHD videos you create on your HD camcorder. We assume the new TH-SB100 is a US variation of the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/27/jvcs-nx-bd3-system-enters-the-blu-ray-htib-arena/">NX-BD3 previously available in Europe</a> which is of course a BD Live player, but we're sad to say there's no mention of any support for DTS-HD or Dolby TrueHD. Nevertheless it will be available in April for $699.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.jvc.com/press/index.jsp?item=697&pageID=1">Read</a> - JVC XV-PB1<br /><a href="http://www.jvc.com/press/index.jsp?item=678&pageID=1">Read</a> - JVC TH-SB100<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/ces/" rel="tag">CES</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/hdtv/" rel="tag">HDTV</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/homeentertainment/" rel="tag">Home Entertainment</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/jvc-finally-brings-its-blu-ray-products-to-america/">JVC finally brings its Blu-ray products to America</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Wed, 07 Jan 2009 11:55:00 EST.
