Orlando, Fl, April 13, 1997...TV Guide Plus+, a free on-screen 'program' which gives viewers an interactive television guide built right into a TV, is still a premium feature on JVC's new generation of top-of-the-line "90 Series" big screen stereo color televisions.

The three new "90 Series" televisions, each a prime home theater component, consist of the AV-36890 36-inch stereo color television; the AV-32890 32-inch stereo color television; and the AV-27890 27-inch stereo color television. The AV-36890 also represents a new screen dimension for this state-of-the-art unit, jumping up from last year's 35-inch similar model.

With TV Guide Plus+, viewers can find out what is on every channel, and what each show is all about with no monthly user fees. Moreover, the viewer can scan full TV listing up to 48 hours in advance and even "sort" by categories such as movies, sports, children's and specials up to 8 days in advance.

The technology also automatically controls most VCRs for easy point-and-shoot recording.

Other outstanding features found throughout the "90 Series" include 2-Tuner PIP (Picture within Picture); Illuminated Super Command Universal Remote Control; Super Command OSD (On Screen Display) with 15 Color Icon-based Menus; Hyper Scan; and Hyper Surround. When you touch any button on the remote all the buttons light up. Hyper Scan is the fastest channel changer in the industry allowing users to zoom up and down through channels at the rate of 5 channels per second. Hyper Surround produces a deep, 3-dimensional surround-like soundfield using only the TV's built-in speakers.
