DivX announced that JVC's first Blu-ray home theater system has received DivX certification. The JVC system is called the NX-BD3 and is the first entry into Blu-ray for JVC. The system allows for playback over wired and wireless home networks.

The certification will allow users to view DivX content on CDs or DVDs on the JVC system. DivX says that the products bearing its certified logo have been rigorously tested to ensure high-quality.

"The demand for DivX video playback in living room consumer electronics encouraged us to consider it as a checklist feature for our next generation home theater system," said Hiroshi Nishiumi, Deputy General Manager of Engineering Department, Audio/Video Systems Division, Victor Company of Japan, Limited. "The NX-BD3 provides our customers with a premium entertainment experience and we believe that working with DivX has considerably enhanced this, differentiating us from our competitors."
