Orlando, FL, April 13,1997... JVC is offering three new CD-portable component systems with eye-popping features at affordable pricing -- models PC-X104, PC-X102 and the PC-X101. Consumers will be hard pressed to find comparable units which match this much value, new sophisticated design and state-of-the-art sound.

All the units feature COMPU PLAY, "feather-touch" full-logic cassettes, digital tuner Active Hyper Bass Pro, and 1-bit DAC.

COMPU PLAY allows consumers to touch a source button (CD, tape or tuner) and have the power come on by itself with all other startup steps occurring automatically. Full logic provides for a simple touch of a button which softly executes each mode switching on the cassette deck, providing speedy and operational response. Active Hyper Bass Pro minimizes muffling of mid-range frequencies while reproducing dynamic low frequency sound. 1-bit D/A converters, of course, eliminate zero crossing distortion so the CD player reproduces even low-level signals clearly and naturally with improved linearity.

The top-of-the-line PC-X104 also features a sexy Back-illuminated LCD display for functions operation and readout, while also offering full-function remote control. That unit also features 2-way speakers: 4-inch (10cm)+ 13/16-inch (2cm).
