Toshiba Regza SV670

Controls, Menu & RemoteAudio & Video Ports
There are two locations for the ports on the SV670; the front and the back. Because of the pre-production nature of the model we looked at, we can't give a list of rear ports, as the ports were not installed. Toshiba did tell us that there will be three HDMI ports, for a total of 4. On the side panel there are, from the top, a USB port, a HDMI port, an SD Card slot and a composite video and analog video input.

Media & Other Connectivity
The SV670 bucks the trend for skipping memory card slots that we've seen on other devices by including an SD Card slot, which supports photos, video and music playback. The USB port also supports hard drives or other devices, and DiVX video can also be played back. Toshiba has announced plans to expand this further by adding DNLA support, which would mean that DLNA compatible devices (such as many PCs and media servers) could send media to the display over a wired or wireless network. They are also planning to build widget support and a Windows Media Center Extender into some of their displays, so they can play back live TV, video and music from Media Center PCs. However, the current lineup and the SV670 don't support these features; these devices won't be launched until later in the year.
Placement
The side ports are reasonably well located; it is easy to reach around the side of the device to plug in a video cable , memory card or USB device. We'll have to wait to find out about the rear ports.
Audio
Toshiba is touting a new feature called Dolby Volume on the SV670, where the display monitors the audio level and adjusts the output volume to a comfortable level, boosting the volume during quiet parts and limiting it during the louder parts. Again because we were looking at a prototype version of the display, we were not able to test this feature, and Toshiba did not want to reveal the details of the speakers built into the SV670.
