TV playback of iPod video content is more convenient than ever with the JVC LCD TVs with a built-in iPod dock. Including three full HD 1080p sets, the LT-42P789 features JVC’s TeleDock, a flip-down iPod dock at the base of the set, providing a direct connection for playback through the TV.When an iPod is docked, a menu appears on the TV screen for selecting music, music shuffle or video playback. iPod can be controlled from the TV’s remote, which includes a circular keypad with a control scheme that mimics the iPod’s control wheel.
Photos can also be displayed as a slide show along with music. During music playback, song title and artist name are displayed on the TV screen. During video playback, low resolution files, such as Internet videos, can be displayed in a small screen mode. Higher resolution video can be shown in nine aspect modes at full screen. There’s also the option to play music files while the TV displays television programming. In addition, the iPod will charge while docked whether the TV’s power is on or off.Besides the iPod dock and playback features, JVC’s P-Series LCD TVs are full featured high definition displays with a cabinet design that conveys the sets’ focus on both audio and video performance.
Each features a universal remote with direct input access, a on-screen menu system, a side-mounted USB photo viewer, and ATSC / QAM tuning.Connections include three HDMI inputs, two component inputs, one S-video input, SPDIF input and an analog audio output for sending sound from an iPod or the TV through a home theater system.The sound package delivers 10 watts per channel to a pair of JVC’s exclusive oblique cone speakers. And JVC’s Omni Surround package with equalizer offers four listening modes – movie, music, news (for news or talk show programming) and mono (for simulated stereo from mono programming).

A 3D Y/C digital comb filter with cross color eliminator detects and reduces embedded dot and color interference from digital broadcast and component signals for crystal clear images. Natural progressive technology is an I/P scaling technology that smooths images.
Natural progressive works by ensuring total focus in areas that normally blur, such as where fast movement and where skewed lines exist, so images are always smooth. Natrual cinema (3:2 pull down) technology is an edge smoothing circuit that samples and compensates for the jagged edges commonly found in video that was converted from film. This filter is especially helpful with DVDs.

The TeleDock onscreen navigation interface provides only general playback and shuffle options for music and video; its menu structure does not mimic that of the iPod itself, and you can’t search for specific songs, artists, playlists, or videos. If you’d prefer to navigate content directly via the iPod, JVC does provide an option to do so; this direct method offers more complete access to your song and video libraries and allows you to view photo slideshows, but you have to physically walk over to the TV to navigate the menus.

There are two main HD resolutions in use today by HD broadcasters and other sources: 1080i and 720p. One is not necessarily better than the other; 1080i has more lines and pixels, but 720p is a progressive-scan format that should deliver a smoother image that stays sharper during motion. Another format is also becoming better known: 1080p, which combines the superior resolution of 1080i with the progressive-scan smoothness of 720p. True 1080p content is extremely scarce, however, and none of the major networks have announced 1080p broadcasts. The term 1080p today appears mostly in reference to the displays’ native resolution, not the source.
