JVC LT-32P679 includes three full HD 1080p sets and 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, an 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 GREAT BUY......!!!
I needed a TV for my basement, and when I saw this one on sale at Sears--complete with iPod dock--I was sold. This is the first TV of its kind that I've seen, and I was thrilled to find that my 30GB iPod could be docked and charged while I viewed movies directly from it. This TV has great audio and video quality....you won't be disappointed! However...I discovered soon after Christmas the reason for the price cut. The TV remote CANNOT completely control the iPod Touch. Although you can certainly play music and video from the Touch through the TV, the nature of the touch will not allow you to control the functions using the TV remote control. Again...those Apple folks are a step ahead of all of supporting supporting technology. In any event, this TV is still a GREAT value!
