For pre-digital video switching, this is the one to get.

I was looking for a receiver that would switch whatever kind of anaolg video (i.e. composite, S-video, or component) and output component video. My TV is analog and good, so I have no use for digital video in or out. This is one of the few that will do that switching, and luckily it is an excellent receiver. The sound is great, noticably better than the Sony that I initially bought. Some reviews say it's complicated to set up, but I had no more trouble with it than the Sony, and its manual was much better, actually. It also allows much greater control over its features than the Sony did, and its inputs and outputs are more versatile and better organized. The wireless USB is as easy as can be, and is a GREAT feature when you combine it with an online radio station like slacker. I haven't had any heat issue that some mention, and I've been playing many long hours of Christmas music on it since I got it. Another feature I appreciate is that it automatically remembers all of your audio settings for each input, so you don't get blasted and have to jump on the volume control whenever you switch from one to another. From the reviews and features, I was hoping for a lot when I bought this, and I like it even more than I thought I would. Unfortunately, I think it's discontinued now that digital video has become standard for new equipment, so if you want one, you better get it. But hopefully JVC will keep the same quality of engineering and design on their succeeding models.

Great Addition to my Home Theater

I had an older 5.1 receiver by Sony that was crapping out on me so instead of getting it repaired I decided to go with a modern receiver. What first attracted me to this was its price, after reading the specs I was hooked. The USB wireless worked flawlessly with my Vista Ultimate 64 bit PC only wish it was OS X compatible as well since my mac is much quieter when on. I plugged the transmitter in to the USB port, Vista installed the drivers automatically and I started up iTunes and I had sound instantly from my 7.1 Polk Audio speakers. The receiver also works with Video Lan (VLC)Windows Media Player and WinAmp 5.x software if you don't like iTunes.

The sound is phenomenal and thanks to independently adjustable channel outputs you can adjust the audio "sweet spot" in your room if you don't have an optimal speaker arrangement like my room. Further more each input memorizes its own settings so there is no need to adjust the receiver when switching between inputs. So if you like to watch movies on the couch you can adjust the sweet spot to be on the couch but if you like listening to music in bed you can adjust the sweet spot over to your bed and the receiver will store that information so you only have to change inputs.

To those that say that this receiver runs hot:
I have mine on an open shelf with about 2 inches of breathing room on each side and about 8 inches on top. It gets warm but I have felt much much worse. As long as you give this receiver some breathing room and don't enclose it in a cabinet you will NOT have heat issues.

Weird Smell?

Sounds good, but I bought a refurb unit and it smells really bad.
I have smelt this smell before in new receivers, but never this strong and never this bad.

I am worried the smell will not go away, maybe others can chime in and let me know if they had this smell when it was new?

This Reciever is Great!

This receiver fits every use I need, for home theater and just as a receiver. Has lots of power, which really makes my older tower speakers sound completely different! Added a JBL sub and will be adding some Bose 901's shortly to round out the system. My computer is too far away to use the the USB connectivity to stream music, but used my in-laws lap top closer to the receiver and it works great! Takes awhile to program the receiver, but once your dialed in it sounds great.

Good receiver. Get it if you need PC connectivity

I like this receiver very much. I am not an audio pro, so I will not talk about sound quality and so on. To me it sounds good and that is all there is. However, I am more on PC side of things and I got it to wirlessly connect to my laptop, so I can control the music in the house from any place. Wireless works great. The USB transmitter that plugs into a USB port intalls itself and configures OS to run sound through it. A true PnP device. I have connected it to Sony SS-f7000 speakers and the two work great together. The only thing I did not like was turning it up all the way. The sound was loud, but not unbearable and it got a hissing sound in the background, which may be caused by bad recording quality, speakers or th receiver. Listening on normal volume is a true pleasure.
