    If you can look past its high price--and some annoying shortcomings--the JVC DD-3 Sophisti offers elegant styling and pretty good sound for its size. Read more

    • Expensive; no video inputs; sounds better on DVDs than music; terrible remote; network streaming is Ethernet only, not Wi-Fi; USB port of limited use.

    JVC's DD-3 has all the features for a new way of accessing digital files but cinema sound performance doesn't compare to more conventional systems. Read more

    • Compact and stylish design, accessing digital files, easy to use, decent picture quality
    • Average sound quality, compromised speakers

    I recently bought the JVC DD-3 Media Network System in an estate auction. It was brand new in the unopened box. We have wanted a home theater system for years and boy did this thing fill the bill. Plus, in reading instructions I saw that the the control unit will communicate with my home network. Didn't really sound like a big deal until I installed the software and ran it. Read more

    Maybe I'm new to home theatre systems, but there doesn't seem to be much here for the $800 list price. My assessment is it's about $200 worth. A great stereo system and DVD player would do more for less money. It is network capable, but I'm don't consider that enough to justify the price. Read more

    • The sound is pretty good.
    • Two analog audio inputs, one on the front which is useless if you don't want to see wires running into the unit.
