Just as the Blu-ray format was starting to become more popular, back in the second half of 2009, the economic crisis brought its large axe onto most people’s lives (and bank accounts), forcing them to get “trenched down” and postpone most major purchases. For this reason, the market for Blu-ray players is still up for grabs, with more and more manufacturers coming up with low-price players (under $200 and even under $100, in some rare cases), the latest name on this list being JVC, which has just unveiled its entry-level XV-BP11 Blu-ray player.

The device from JVC supports pretty much any type of disc format out there (Blu-ray or otherwise), including BD-Rom, BD-R/RE, DVD-Video, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, Audio CD, CD-R/RW, while the list of playable formats includes AVCHD, WMV, JPEG, MP3, WMA, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital plus, Dolby True HD, DTS, DTS HD Master Audio/Essential.
“Convenience”-related features include the quick loading system, cinema zoom (x16), parental lock and the very slim design (indeed, the XV-BP11 has a very svelte profile, one of the thinnest we’ve seen lately). Moreover, it comes equipped with HDMI V1.3, composite, coaxial and USB interfaces.
The one (extremely important) element that’s missing from the list of connectivity options is an Ethernet interface. And if you’re wondering just why the engineers from JVC “forgot” to provide the player with networking capabilities, the answer is a simple one: this thing’s only Blu-ray Profile 1.1 compatible, which means that the gadget won’t be able to take advantage of any of the extra features provided by the more advanced Profile 2.0.
