Following are EISA comments on the products and reasons for their selection.

EUROPEAN GREEN TV 2008-2009

JVC LT-42DS9They say small can be beautiful, but in the case of JVC's exquisite LT-42DS9, slim is the most
attractive of all.
This LCD TV demonstrates outstandingly low energy consumption in both daylight and darksurroundings, utilises only a moderate quantity of materials, and complies fully with European RoHS
regulations to minimise hazardous materials use.
And while this set performs superlatively in daily use, easy disassembly means it will also excel atthe end of its life.
Finally, a standard sea container can hold at least 50 more boxes of the LT-42DS9 than any of its
direct competitors for this year’s EISA Green Award, because its slim design is such an efficient use ofspace.

EUROPEAN VIDEO PROJECTOR 2008-2009

JVC DLA-HD100

In its latest incarnation, JVC’s D-ILA projection technology again sets new standards in home theatre
imagery.
An astonishing picture contrast sets the DLA-HD100 apart from its competition, but its broad andneutral reproduction of colours, transparent video DSP and flawless handling of 1080p/24 signals are
no less impressive.
For truly high-end applications, the anamorphic stretch function allows the HD100 to be used with an
optional anamorphic lens, delivering a cinema-like picture quality in domestic home theatre
environments.

EUROPEAN FAMILY CAMCORDER 2008-2009

JVC GZ-MG330

This stylish HDD-camcorder is available in various body colours at a reasonable price, and is an
ideal choice for all-round family use.
It’s very easy to operate, not only for advanced users but also even for kids. True ‘one touch’functionality comes courtesy of an innovative blue illuminated touch-sensor control and a ‘quick start’
feature.

their footage by pressing just a couple of buttons.
As an additional bonus there’s the option to shoot good quality stills and movies and save them onto
a microSD memory card.

EUROPEAN IN-CAR HEAD UNIT 2008-2009

JVC KD-AVX44

A simple wave of the hand activates one of the most capable and versatile in-car head units evermade.
El Chameleon Zero technology blacks out all controls on the face of the KD-AVX44 when they are
not in use. However, when a movement nearby is perceived, the Smart Motion Sensor controls light up
on the jet-black face panel, to provide intuitively clear and easy control.
The KD-AVX44 is a top class audio source. It’s compatible with both DVD and CD, and multiple
digital audio file formats burned onto CD or DVD or uploaded from USB storage (including WAV, MP3,WMA and AAC).
Built-in Bluetooth means the KD-AVX44 also functions as a hands-free device and receives
streaming audio from Bluetooth media players.
Finally, the KD-AVX44 will also operate as a fully functional DVD player with DivX compatibility,
built-in 5.1 decoder and its own 3.5-inch screen. All at the wave of a hand!
