JVC Takes Top Prizes in Two EISA Divisions (19/8/2004)

Victor Company of Japan, Ltd. (TSE: 6792; "JVC") received top honors in two divisions in the 2004-2005 European Imaging and Sound Association (EISA) awards. EISA has been one of the most prestigious product awards in the electronics industry. The audio compact system and the television were named best of the year in their categories. EISA is an organization for the editors of Europe's leading video, audio, photo, home theater, and mobile electronics magazines. It was formed in 1982 and currently has a membership of nearly fifty magazines in eighteen European countries. Each year it selects the best video, audio, photo, home theater, and mobile products for recognition. Its "European Awards" are both prestigious and authoritative, a mark of excellence for consumers and industry people in Europe and the world at large.

JVC has been honored by EISA for nine consecutive years.

Below are details on the products receiving awards and the reasons for their selection.

"European Audio Compact System of the Year 2004-2005" EX-A1 When nature meets technology: JVC offers the world's first loudspeaker to use a solid wood cone. The small, beautifully crafted speakercabinets are also of wood, and the result is a clear and natural sound, with outstanding bass performance. Matching electronics include a DVD-player and AM/FM tuner, along with JVC's newly-developed hybrid feedback digital amplifier, pumping out a generous 2 x 30 watts. Naturally, the EX-A1 can play audio CDs, and importantly it's also compatible with hi-res DVD Audio discs. Good news for home cinema enthusiasts: the Composite, S-Video or RGB video output can be connected to any video display.

"European Television of the Year 2004-2005" HV-36P38SUE The JVC HV-36P38 is the first consumer TV that is able to display high definition video signals with a full resolution of 1920x1080 pixels through a dedicated Component input-five times the density of standard TV and DVD Video images. But even with standard definition content, thanks to the award-winning DIST processing technology, all the images displayed by the JVC are up-scaled to high definition resolution without flickering. In the near future, within the next year, the amount of high definition programs in Europe will be significant, and the owners of this product will be at an advantage.
