Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

JVC's 5.1-channel RX-6020VBK provides an affordable path to exciting stereo and home-theater audio. CDs and DVDs will sound fabulous with the receiver's 100 watts per channel power (across all five main channels). The unit also features Dolby Pro Logic II processing (which derives 5.1-channel sound from any stereo source) and 5.1-channel analog inputs (which accommodate high-resolution sources like SACD and DVD-Audio). It's a full-featured tuner, too, providing 30 FM and 15 AM station presets.

The RX-6020VBK delivers clarity, low distortion, and wide dynamic range through its discrete output devices (JVC's alternative to inexpensive ICs). In addition to standard Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround decoding, the RX-6020VBK also offers JVC's Digital Acoustics Processing (DAP) with five preset sound fields that digitally recreate the ambient effects of different venues right in a living room.

For connections, the receiver has two composite-video inputs and outputs, multiple analog audio inputs, and two assignable digital-audio inputs (one optical, one coaxial). A line-level subwoofer output passes the LFE signal on to an independently powered subwoofer. Routing DVD player's and VCR's audio and video signals to the receiver before sending them on to your TV simplifies AV source switching, since you can do it all with the receiver's remote rather than having to switch inputs on a receiver and television.

Other conveniences include a supplied unified AV remote control and JVC's enhanced COMPU LINK Control System, which greatly simplifies operation when the receiver is used in concert with other JVC equipment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible and Affordable!, April 3, 2003

This review is from: JVC RX-6020VBK Dolby Digital/DTS Surround Receiver (Black) (Electronics)

I purchased this receiver to complement my recent purchase of a JVC XV-FA900BK 7-disc DVD player, an older model 200-CD player, a 6-CD player, a VCR and a WEBTV browser. At the time I bought these 2 new JVC items, the reviews for the 7-disc DVD player were 2 stars out of 5, based on only 6 reviews (a bad choice if you believe reviews), and 5 stars out of 5 (based on only 1 review) for the receiver (again, not something on which to base a purchase). I opted, however, to base my choice on my past experience with the JVC brand, rather than on the small number of reviews which made up these ratings. The consistency of quality of JVC products has proven itself to me on at least 5 separate occasions in the past, so I followed my instincts. This proved to be the right decision. The capabilities and versatility of both the 7-disc DVD player and this receiver, especially considering the price tags, is nothing less than astounding! The receiver can be fine tuned, through it's multitude of internal adjustments, to perform and sound fantastic, in any size or shape of room and any furnishings (excluding, of course, a large auditorium). These internal adjustments cover an entire array of up to 5 separate speaker stations-- or as few as 2-- and also are adjustable with respect to speaker size and distance of separation as well as tonality and crossover. WOW! For the price, I'm certain I've not heard a better audio/video receiver-- not one! Enough said. Both units get the top rating from me!!!
