In the 1960s, JVC established the Nivico (Nippon Victor Corporation) brand for Delmonico's line of console televisions and stereos.

In 1970, JVC marketed the [[Videosphere]], a portable [[cathode-ray tube]] (CRT) television inside a space-helmet-shaped casing with an [[alarm clock]] at the base. It was a commercial success.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Sterjova|first=Milica|date=May 2017|title=The 1970s JVC Videosphere: An iconic example of 'space age' design|url=https://www.wallswithstories.com/uncategorized/the-1970s-jvc-videosphere-an-iconic-example-of-space-age-design.html|url-status=dead|access-date=2021-06-21|archive-date=2021-06-24|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210624204149/https://www.wallswithstories.com/uncategorized/the-1970s-jvc-videosphere-an-iconic-example-of-space-age-design.html}}</ref>

In 1971, JVC introduced the first discrete system for four channel [[quadraphonic sound]] on vinyl records - [[quadraphonic sound#CD-4 (Compact Discrete 4) / Quadradisc|CD-4]] (Compatible Discrete Four Channel) or [[Quadradisc]], as it was called by the [[RCA|Radio Corporation of America]] (RCA) in the United States.{{citation needed|date=September 2012}}

In 1973, the JVC Cutting Center opened (in the USA) to provide mastering for CD-4 discs. The Mark II 1/2 speed system was used until mid-1975 when it was replaced with the Mark III 1/2 speed system. In 1978, Mobile Fidelity began using the JVC Cutting Center to 1/2 speed master Stereo/Mono discs.

In 1975, JVC introduced the first combined portable battery-operated radio with inbuilt TV, as the model 3050. The TV was a {{convert|3|in|cm|adj=on}} black-and-white CRT. One year later, JVC expanded the model to add a cassette recorder, as the 3060, creating the world's first [[boombox]] with radio, [[cassette player|cassette]] and TV.{{citation needed|date=May 2012}}

In 1976, the first VCR to use VHS was the [[JVC HR-3300|Victor HR-3300]], and was introduced by the president of JVC at the [[Hotel Okura Tokyo|Okura Hotel]] in [[Tokyo]] on September 9, 1976.<ref name="nipponsei">{{cite web |url=http://www.nipponsei.jp/n-hajimete/n-hajimete009.html |title=Always Helpful!
