5.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this (here), July 13, 2002

By all accounts this receiver from JVC is awesome. It's made using the same components as the more expensive RX-DP10VBK but without the extra channels...

I plan to buy this receiver but Amazon.com's pricing is outrageous ...

5.0 out of 5 stars Still a home theater best buy., December 26, 2005

I bought this receiver about 5 years ago now, maybe more, not too long after it hit the market. It was then, and still is now, one of the only THX Select certfied receivers for a sub thousand dollar price tag, and its generally hanging around the $700 area, probably less by now, making it an extremely viable option for anyone who is interested in THX fidelity without the usually much higher price.

It has all the customization options you could hop for, allowing you to tweak each individual speaker's output just in case you didn't match them properly, allowing you to compensate for distance, volume, and even adjust individual EQs for each speaker. It's got a boatload of DTS presets, and is capable of making just about any source sound like it was meant to be heard in THX 7.1 surround sound.

There are only a few downfalls it suffers from, the first being the fact that it only has an internal amplifier for 5 channels, meaning you'll need to pick up a seperate amp if you want to use it with a full THX surround sound setup, which could mean you've now spent more money then a comparable model from another company. (Although when i bought it, buying a cheap amp and this receiver still beat the pants off the next cheapest model, which was considerably more expensive for the same funcionality.)

The second downside of this receiver is that nowadays, some of the inputs and outputs its using for video and sound are getting pushed out of home theater use. More and more products are starting to use HDMI, DVI, and optical mediums, rather then the component, S-Video, and composite inputs and outputs this receiver is really made to work with. (I beleive it has one or two optical connections, but if you have, or are looking to use, a bunch of newer other components like upscaling DVD players and HD tuner and TV, this receiver might be a tad obsolete.)

This was a great receiver five years ago, and in my opinion, its still a great one today - althout in the near future it may become obsolete.

I purchased this receiver in 2001 and have been enjoying it since then. Home Theater did a review of it in January 2003 and gave it a very good review. The only, minor, thing I didn't like was that it didn't have any additional outlets. I wanted to plug in an additional amp through a switched outlet to take advantage of the 7.1 option. Other than that this is a very versitile receiver.
