Amazon.com Product Description
Simplify and consolidate. If complicated hookups get you down and your home electronics are starting to take up too much space, JVC's RX-DV31SL combination DVD player and audio/video surround receiver might just be music to your ears... and eyes. The unit offers broad format compatibility--from standard DVDs to MP3 music and JPEG image CDs to high-resolution music from DVD-Audio titles--as well as high power, delivering a full 100 watts per channel to your existing stereo and/or surround-sound speaker system.

Most movies are stored on DVD at the rate of 24 frames per second. JVC's Digital Direct Progressive-Scan feature uses 3:2 pulldown detection to convert film-based DVDs into double density--60 frames per second--progressive-scan images for display on a high-definition or HD-ready television. The result is natural, smooth images with less noise and higher resolution. A single, ultra-high-performance chip featuring Adaptive Geometrical Chroma Mapping performs AV decoding for the system.

On the audio side, you get Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround passthrough and decoding, as well as Dolby Pro Logic II processing, which creates 5.1-channel signals from any stereo source. JVC includes a Digital Acoustics Processor (DAP) with 4 preset sound fields to digitally recreate the acoustics of specific concert venues, which you can use to enhance music or video programs of your selection.

Using quick speaker setup, just tell the receiver the number of speakers you're using and your room size, and the receiver will route your audio to the appropriate speaker and delay the output as needed to ensure time-aligned audio at your listening position.

DVD-Audio offers super high-fidelity (192 kHz/24-bit) sound. DVD-Audio music discs provide multichannel and stereo sound, incredible storage capacity, and unique bonus materials not available on regular audio CDs.

The receiver's Audio Position feature lets you set the subwoofer level for both 5.1- and 2-channel playback so you can enjoy one setting for a DVD's ".1" LFE (low-frequency effects) signal and another when you simply wish to extend the low-frequency response of your stereo listening system, as for enhanced music playback.

5 out of 5 stars JVC and Orb Speakers.......2006-01-29

Just to add to Hershon2004's review, with the Orb speakers, this is the best-sounding system I've ever owned. I have the Classic One Stereo Speakers (two satellite speakers and a subwoofer). Probably the best system under $1000.

5 out of 5 stars If you have Orb Audio Speakers This isBetter than SomeDenons.......2005-02-21

If you have Orb Audio Mod 1 Speakers & their Super Eight Sub, this JVC DVD Receiver, that Orb recommends, will give you the best sound you've ever heard for playing CD's, DVD's, DVD-A & TV sound and is so far superior to the most expensive receiver brands such as some Denons (2105 in my personal opinion), Rotell, Yamaha, etc., its not funny. This is one case where you really are getting something for relatively next to nothing. Let me state emphatically that I don't work for Orb or JVC & if you don't have Orb speakers, I recommend you check out their web site, www.orbaudio.com as I can't vouch for how this receiver will sound with other speakers. This is an unsolicited endorsement from one extremely satisfied customer. When I first got this incredible JVC DVD Receiver I was absolutely astonished how great the sound was with my Orb speakers (if you don't have Orbs I can't guarantee they'll sound this good with other speakers)& to be honest I got greedy as I went to other audio forums and everyone was telling me that this JVC system technically sucks & what did I expect for the $200 to $450 for it, and I'd get far superior sound spending alot more moneyu money on a Denon, Rotell or Yamaha Receiver (which would also entail buying an additional progressive scan DVD player that plays DVD-A). Well I checked out these systems using the same Beatles Rubber Soul CD in a bunch of high end stores and this JVC system sounded better than all of these receivers some of which cost over $2,000! I even went so far as buying and then returning a Denon 2805 receiver, and a Marantz and Onkyo CD player. None of these sounded close to as good as the sound quality of this JVC unit with my Orb's. The bottom line is the designers/owners of Orb Audio know what they're talking about in recommending this system be used with their Orb's. Its also relatively easy to set up but if this is your first receiver, I'd recommend you have a friend set it up or pay someone from a stereo store to set it up.
The remote control is excellent and as I said this system rocks with Orb Audio Speakers. Postscript: I have since bought a Denon 3801 receiver which lists for $1200 but I bought used in excellent condition for $450 with shipping and the sound on the Denon is incredible, so if you have extra money by that!

4 out of 5 stars Great so far........2005-01-07

I have had it for more than 6mths, so far no problems. It plays everything i throw at it...dvds, cds, cdr, vcd, svcd, dvdr+-..only thing it has problems with is dvd-rw(rewritables). Other than that it plays all, including all my dvd backups. I've never found heat to be a problem on this unit even after extended play. The tons of connection choices is a plus and has almost all the stuff in it...except some of the more obscure Dolby capabilities and thx. Another reason i got this unit was because it had a competent dvd player built in. I did not want to get another player and take up more space on my shelf. The receiver functions, though not extremely high end, does have most of what you need to build a decent and competent home theater. Some things I consider important that this has is DTS, DOLBY, and progressive scan. Pictures look great on my plasma with component outputs.

I got it for $159 so it was a good buy for me.

4 out of 5 stars nice integrated receiver.......2004-04-16

It is too early to make detailed comments but seems to be working fine. It seems hot to touch after a while (but aren't all receivers like this)? Their mp3 supports 32 chars but no ID3 tag display. picture quality looks good on my analog TV. I like the fact that they give both optical and coaxial digital inputs for your game console, satellite etc (most integrated units have none or just the optical input). The sound quality is good through my Athena speakers, but I could attribute it to the quality of speakers. The speaker holes are too small for the 16 gauge cable I bought. I somehaow managed to cram it in. It provides 5 channel stereo for your music collection, (I guess an upgrade from their previous integrated model). Plays home made DVDs effortlessly. nice package for only $270.
