Lot's 'o' features but poor sound.......2004-03-19
No go. After unpacking and sorting out which features I needed to initialize first, I got it plugged in, connected and fired up an audio CD on my trusty Sony carousel player and piped the sound through a pair of reliable Ambient bookcase speakers ...
After two minutes I shut it off, rechecked the connections and tried again. Same results: the audio was playing fine but the sound itself was harsh, brittle and not at all the listening experience I expected -- a far cry from the warm, smooth sound of the lower-power 40watt Sherwood. The JVC's FM tuner seemed incapable of holding a station, another disappointment as the Sherwood handled this task just fine in the same location.
Subsequent tests didn't improve matters, and the incredibly complex and hard-to-read remote (when will the ADA weigh in on the design of remote control handsets?) made opertating the receiver an exercise in frustration.
Sorry, JVC. I sent it back.
Great Bang for the Buck.......2004-01-20

High end receiver at a low end price..........2004-01-20
I first used the receiver with a pair of old Bose 301 speakers. I can honestly say that I have never heard the Bose 301 speakers sound better! There was clearly more definition and overall response than with my old Sony receiver.
Finally, I connected the receiver to my Cerwin Vega AVS-5.1 speaker set (reviewed separately). I set the front, center and surround speakers to "small" on the receiver and then I was completely amazed by the sound. There is absolutely no audible distortion. The unit sounds really fantastic with the best DVDs - like "Pirates of the Caribbean". In my opinion, even better than the sound in a movie theater.
Although low on features, this is a great sounding unit which and I am extremely pleased with it. It looks, feels and - most importantly - sounds like a professional unit. I highly recommend the JVC RX-6030V or the higher-end units in the series (the RX-7030V and RX-8030V).
