JVC XV-BP11 Blu-ray Player Priced Under $200

JVC has release its new "popularly-priced" Blu-ray player.

JVC has announced (quite briefly, actually) its latest Blu-ray player today—the new JVC XV-BP11. This Blu-ray player offers playback of high definition Blu-ray discs, plus playback of the AVCHD format—the high definition format widely used for HD camcorders—and it is retailing for $199.95. The ultra-thin XV-BP11 is also equipped with HDMI 1.3 video composite, a USB socket and is compatible with a number of audio formats.

JVC describes its new Profile 1.1 Blu-ray player as a “truly versatile high definition player,” and attributes the convenience of the device to features like the “cinema zoom (x16), parental lock, and its slim design.”
