JVC RX-D201S Audio/Video Control Receiver (Silver)

JVC RX-D201S Audio/Video Control Receiver (Silver)

Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Surround sound speakers don't amount to much without a quality receiver, and this JVC 7.1-channel model plays the role perfectly. Equipped with a full complement of surround decoders--including Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX, DTS, DTS-ES, DTS Neo:6, DTS 96/24, Dolby Pro Logic II, and Dolby Pro Logic IIx--the receiver breathes life into home theater audio, delivering spectacularly crisp, explosive sound for both movies and music. The decoded formats are complemented by JVC's digital acoustics processor, which creates dynamic audio soundstages that mimic the acoustics of the most popular live venues. Among the multichannel DAP selections are Theater 1 and Theater 2, Hall 1 and Hall 2, Dance Club, Live Club, and Pavilion.

Internally, the receiver is equipped with a hybrid feedback digital amplifier and a DSP digital equalizer. The amp runs at 700 watts of total power (100 watts x 7 in surround mode, 100 watts x 2 in stereo mode), which should satisfy all but the largest environments. To create an even wider sound field, the receiver offers a virtual surround back function that simulates the effect of a back surround speaker even if you don't own one.

Busy listeners will also appreciate the RX-D201S's AV Compu Link function, which facilitates simple one-touch coordination between your JVC audio and video components. Simply pop a DVD into your JVC DVD player, and the RX-D201S automatically activates the receiver and TV while switching them to the proper modes. People who live in large households will delight in the 3-D Headphone feature, which creates an out-of-the-box surround effect through any pair of ordinary stereo headphones (not included). The receiver even lets you stream audio directly from your computer through its USB-PC link.

Components attach to the unit through its comprehensive series of inputs and outputs, including its two digital audio inputs (one optical and one coaxial), four analog audio inputs, and two audio outputs. The RX-D201S also acts as an audio/video switcher, with two component video inputs and one output, three S-video inputs and three outputs, and three composite inputs and three outputs.

Product Description:
How can those phat beats originate from such a skinny receiver. 7.1 channels means 100 watts come from each channel for 700 total watts, which means the party begins when you press the power button. Connect the receiver to your PC via the USB - PC link for a true-to-life multimedia experience. Expand your horizons (and your home stereo system) with your other components from the composite, component and S-video outputs and inputs on the back panel. Who rocks. You do.

Total waste of money. .......2006-10-24

My 2nd one of these in 1 year fried itself again. I got it as a gift, and have no receipt. JVC will not honor the warranty because "I probably stole it and messed it up, and now want it fixed". Avoid this and JVC.

Glad there is a 2-year warranty on this model..........2006-08-04

Becasue I expect to use it. Like the other users here, I had the same experience. Works great, but then there is a short spate of erratic behavior and then total failure.

I bought one, returned it after a fortnight. The second one a few months and then it, too, failed. It took weeks for a local service center to obtain the necessary parts. And when they finally got them, the unit failed almost immediately.

I finally shipped it off to the factory service center but the cost of shipping alone would discourage anyone.

The sad thing is that when it worked it worked great. I enjoyed it. And I had great use for many years of another JVC receiver. I only hope that JVC does right by their warranty with this sad product.

Oo-ooh that smell!.......2006-05-21

I really wanted to like this receiver. I bought it specifically for its ability to receive a USB signal from my Mac to play music from iTunes. And in that regard it did just fine. My Mac recognized the receiver without any problems, and it was a delight to play my Apple Lossless files via the receiver.

Ultimately, though, I was forced to return it (twice). You know that acrid, burning smell that new receivers often give off when first played? Well, the smell from this receiver was about 20 times worse than usual. It gave everyone in my house headaches. After a couple of weeks I returned it and got a new one, thinking that it must have been just a problem with that individual unit (after all, they can't all smell that bad or no one would keep them, right?). Same thing with the new unit. I put it out on my front porch and let it run continuously for 3 weeks, hoping the smell would "burn off". The smell got a little bit better, but was still unbearable. When I returned the second unit the guy at the store said a lot of units of this model were returned for the same reason.

If you want to play songs from your computer via a receiver and can tolerate noxious fumes, this is the receiver for you. Otherwise, stay away, or invest in a good gas mask!

usb doesn't work.......2006-03-09

My receiver works great except for usb. It's impossible to get help from jvc. I have tried for 3 month. Emails and telly. No answers to email and plenty of music waiting on phone. This is my last jvc purchase.

Worked good ..... for 6 months.......2006-03-02

This reciver sounded great. JVC promotes the fact this receiver has a USB port, they don't tell you that you need to unplug it everytime you switch to another mode (FM...), because the connection stops working. Despite that I like the way it sounded, but I wish I hadn't bought this disposable receiver.
