| rjayne's Full Review: JVC RX-8030V 6.1 Channels Receiver |
I've had my receiver for several months and Im very happy. I ended up with a new projection TV, DVD Player, Satellite System and receiver all at once so the break-in for all this equipment was a little overwhelming. I honestly struggled a bit with the set-up. I think JVC could do a little better in the manual to make it easier for the layman to understand. The speaker set-up is relatively easy but there are just too many options and they all become confusing after looking at it too long. Can a device have too many features??
I was very pleased with my purchase. I made it online, being one of my first major electronic purchases online and I could not be happier. Thanks to epinions for the help on this end! I ended up paying $80 less than any local electronics retailer that had it in stock (including Circuit City) and this included shipping which was $20.
Im not one of those electronic geeks that can go into all the specifics about what is and is not great on this receiver. I did my side-by-side comparisons with several models in the price range I was looking in and settled on the JVC for overall features and value. Once I got the hook-ups figured out and played my first DVD (Lord of the Rings Two Towers) I can only say, AWESOME! My son sat next to me on the couch and said, Dad, this is just like being at the movies. As Austin Powers would say,
.Yeah Baby!
I used my receiver in combination with a Bose Surround Sound speaker system and the results are great. My only complaint is the remote control. I dont think you can make a remote with more or smaller buttons!
