5.0 out of 5 stars Made Well, Works Well, Sounds Great!, June 17, 2006

This review is from: JVC RX-402B Home Theater Receiver (Black) (Electronics)
I just received the JVC 402B a couple days ago. I'll admit, I had to do some reading to figure out how to set it up properly. The unit is full with features and capability. You can customize everything, and it remembers what you did. I really like the HDMI features. Not only does it connect with my other HDMI components, it will also take any Composite, S-Video, or Component source you have and up-convert it to HDMI. So if you have other equipment (DVD players, VCRs, etc) that don't have HDMI interface, this receiver will up-convert it to HDMI so you can take it's HDMI output and plug it into that new flat screen TV you bought (that's what I did).

Though this receiver can do 7.1, I only have speakers for 5.1, but that doesn't matter. You tell the receiver what you have, and it works for that. As I said, you can control everything the way you want it. As far as heat, I purposely played the speakers loud that I had to leave that floor of the house. I left them go for an hour and came back. All I had was a slight warmth on the top of the unit. Nothing was hot. So unless your shorting your speaker out, I don't see where this unit gets hot.

Overall, I'm very happy with the unit and made the right choice getting it. It is very reasonably priced for everything you get, and made well too. I also like the low profile design instead of the tall units I'm use to seeing. You won't be disappointed with this receiver.

5.0 out of 5 stars HDMI switching works, December 8, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: JVC RX-402B Home Theater Receiver (Black) (Electronics)
I've had this unit working for a week now with no problems. Sound quality is good, with no noticable weaknesses.

I purchased the unit primarily for it's HDMI switching/upconversion. I have an HDMI cable going from this unit to my plasma TV. My cable box and DVD player use component into the JVC, and my VCR is composite. The picture looks beautiful in high-def or DVD. I have not tried HDMI from my cable box into the unit yet, and I have heard that there are HDCP issues with this sometime so be aware of that.

2.0 out of 5 stars This thing will heat your whole house and everything in it, March 2, 2006
This review is from: JVC RX-402B Home Theater Receiver (Black) (Electronics)
I bought the 402b because it has HDMI switching, lots of input options, and hightly rated sound output. I also bought it because I have had a JVC audio system for 15 years and love it.

The good part of the receiver is it's great specifications and HDMI support. The bad part is that it that the hardware is poorly executed. It is inexcusable to put out a product that becomes too hot to touch after half an hour of use at normal sound volumes. JVC apparently thinks it's some kind of crime to put cooling fans in receivers. As a result, you get a box that is cool to the touch in standby, and so hot that you literally can't touch the top after half an hour of use. I had to drill extra holes in the back of my entertainment center, and am now out looking for a PC fan that I can run along side it.

I would be surprised if I don't have a different receiver within the month.

If you live in Alaska, go for it. Otherwise, I'd shop around.
