Crank it up! .......2007-09-24

HD TV + the JVC RXD302B = AMAZING! There is no other way to watch football! Plenty of outputs, plenty of wattage and it looks great!

SONIC DREAM.......2007-05-24

Great unit with excellent sound. Some people may find connecting other
components to it a bit tricky but by taking a bit of time, this will not
be a problem.

Good receiver but a little confusing.......2007-01-11

I am not into the home theater stuff but do like my stereo. This receiver sounds great and the wireless PC connection prevented me from having to look for a CD player that can play MP3's. For someone not familiar with home theater, connecting this can be confusing. To me it would have been helpful if the instructions had said which connections can be used for stereo components (e.g., I ended up with the CD changer connected via the TV audio input). The receiver does sound great though and has some nice (but also confusing) set-up items.

Mighty Mite Measures Up!.......2006-12-18

Phew -- of all things I needed over the busy holiday weekend -- my beloved old NAD "front" power amp lost a channel. I know that this means a two to three hundred dollar repair bill, so I decided it was time to pop for a modern, gulp, home theater receiver. Now you must understand -- I was an early adopter of a home theater setup way back when a/v receivers were regarded as devices incapable of producing superior sound. So I had a big NAD amp for the front two channels, a small NAD amp for the rear two, an NAD tuner for AM/FM, and a Sony Dolby Pro decoder to pull it all together. But fast forward to the present. The NAD dies, I had just laid out major coin for car repairs, and I wanted good sound but I didn't want to spend a fortune. I looked at the Panasonic digital receiver but discovered it didn't have a single pair of outputs for recording off radio, say. No good. Still I liked the idea of the "digital" amp -- as Jessica Simpleton says, "I totally don't know what that means, but I know I want it." These days digital amp means a small unit with low power requirements. Then I found out that JVC has the digital technology, in this extremely compact and attractive receiver. I read somewhat mixed reviews of the receiver online but decided to take a flyer, based on the i/o options, digital amp, looks, and price. Am I glad I did! What am amazing little receiver! The main gripes I read online about the JVC receivers concern their tendency to run hot -- yeah, the box gets warm, and you wouldn't want to park your beer or a dish of ice cream next to the vents on the left of the receiver, but it doesn't get any warmer than my old NADs did -- and its built-in fan is much quieter than the old outboard fan I installed to keep the NADs cool. I was somewhat put off by the high distortion spec at the rated power (0.9%), but apparently there's something about digital amps that causes high distortion specs the way the power is rated. Suffice it to say, this receiver puts out GREAT sound and GOBS of it in my medium-sized listening room. I haven't heard the slightest hint of distortion. And the pint-sized prodigy seems to be able to do it all day without shutting down. Really, I am a semi-pro musician with years of listening experience, and I think this JVC puts out spectacular sound. Great imaging, great bass, great everything. All coming from a little receiver about half the height of conventional units, with a sleek design that Bang & Olufsen would be proud of. (The picture doesn't do the unit justice; when you turn the receiver on, a blue band lights up above the display -- sexy!) What's more -- no house lights dim! That's because this machine uses just 150 watts, or less than half the power my old monster rig used -- speak about a win-win situation! Otherwise the amp has a nice delay so there are no ugly speaker pops when you turn the unit on. And the receiver keeps its memory settings if the unit is unplugged. One little feature JVC missed: the unit has a sleep timer so you can nod off to music, but there's no clock or alarm clock function. Phooey. Finally there are a number of features here I haven't tried, including the ability to play wireless signals from your computer. Next computer! Meanwhile I am enjoying this wonderful sound, and I just hope my neighbors will show patience and charity as I give this baby a workout. Well done, JVC!

I am updating this review after living with the receiver for a few weeks. I LOVE THIS RECEIVER!!! You may have seen Sony ads in which they say their flat-screen monitor is the first TV your wife will actually like. Well, guys, this JVC may be the first home theater receiver your wife will like. Can such a little box put out sound as good as conventional behemoth receivers costing twice as much and measuring twice the size? It sure can. I can't get over how good this little receiver's sound is. The bass is tight and full. The midrange is so detailed I'm hearing stuff I've never heard before. Transients are effortless, and percussive effects pack more punch and power (not to mention an armload of alliteration!) The imaging is so precise and stable I don't need a center channel speaker! I think the tuner performance is fine as well, comparing favorably with my beloved old NAD separate. My point is -- anybody considering a new receiver should insist on one that incorporates digital amplifier technology, like this JVC. You'll enjoy spectacular sound, your wife will love the compact design -- and you'll both appreciate saving money on electricity every month!

I'm back again two months after purchase. I just read a sniffy article on digital amps from some high-end reviewer claiming that poorly designed units can suffer from excessive harmonic distortion or introduce other unwelcome coloration into the signal. As it happens, I just had the chance to hear the CBS Orchestra live at the Letterman show, and I can certify that the sound of the band I hear at home at night is EXACTLY what I heard live at the show. This is a SUPERB sounding receiver, and if the quite tangible benefits of digital amplification appeal to you -- compact size, reduced power consumption -- I urge you to give this JVC a try. You will NOT be disappointed! (And NO, I don't work for JVC, nor was I even aware of digital amps before I was tasked with replacing my ancient home theater rig...)

I'm back again in April with a new laptop -- and a chance to try the USB Wireless feature on the receiver. It works like a champ! Just plug the little transmitter into a spare USB port. Two lights come on. Turn on the receiver and flip the "Learn ID" switch; then hold the ID button on the transmitter until the L and R indicators light up on the receiver. Then select "USB Wireless" as the source on the receiver, and voila -- glorious PC sound blasting out of your home theater setup. Ex-cellent!

Great Receiver, does run hot, but you'll love this unit.......2006-09-28

It does run hot, with only side vents, none on the top, but the smaller package is the likely culprit.

The wireless USB is great, saves me from using a 25ft Toslink from the PC.

Setup was fairly simple but I did run into issues with the mixing of digital inputs and Analog. I spent several hours trying to get it set up, then called JVC. Support was only open during regular business hours, but within 5 minutes had me up and running. The manual could use some greater detail, seems to be written from the standpoint of someone who is totally familar with the unit, not a first time user.

Having said all that I still recomend the unit if: you don't put it in an enclosed cabinet, and you need the wireless usb (or can use USB cable too!)

pure garbage.......2006-12-21

If you have ever had a surround receiver you will find this one disappointing. The surface temp of the receiver runs in excess of 120 degress. Weak sound to back speakers. Insane setup features. The owners manual gave me a headache. The decoder does a poor job of seperation!

AWESOME, but ugh.......2006-01-10

Great features, awesome sound, even with their "virtual surround back" feature when not having the back surround(s) installed.

Now my issues i had with it: If you know how to hook up a surround system, I suggest skipping the beginners crap found pages 1-18 or so. At 17 or 18 they have the set up procedures for the menus... read this. It took me an hour how to figure out how to get my dvd video input set to component, instead of composite or s-video, which is what it initially sets it as. The upconversion function is automatic, no need to pay mind to that. Next: heed any warnings for the wireless function. Mine was working for 5 minutes, then something I did screwed up the connection between the transmitter and the receiver. Just allow it to install its ops onto your PC, (not even a minute), and its great. Whenever its plugged in, the PC automatically switches audio out to the USB. MAC: just plug and play (of course... I love OSX!!), switch outputs though in the preferences the first time, and youre golden.

Overall I was pleased with it while the wireless worked. I ended up exchanging it as it was essentially defective, but rest assured, Ive found myself my home theater hub.

The other review mentioned heat issues. Yeah it got friggin hot, but a friend of mine just installed a couple of comp cooling fans in his ent. center, they work like a freakin charm. If youre afraid of overheating issues, $50-60 CompUSA for 2 fans and a power thing (not to mention hardware [screws], hole-saw, drill, and confidence not to screw up the back of the ent. center.

Great buy.

Ventilate.......2005-09-16

This is a great receiver...but watch out, it needs to be well ventilated. Mine blew up after 31 days in an admittedly poorly ventilated entertainment center. The main problem is that the exhaust vents on the receiver are on the sides and it is a pretty wide peice of equipment so there is not a lot of room to breath in your average enclosed entertainment center. I'm also still waiting for the thing to be repaired because apparently JVC has no parts and everything is on back-order (its been 31 days since I dropped it off for repair).

I have since installed 4 exhaust fans in my entertainment center to prevent any overheating from occuring in the future. I followed the instructions on a website that amazon seems to refuse to print here so search google for "receiver cooling fans" and it is the site titled "cooling fans"

Two things to note.

1) You probably want more than 2 fans if you have a tight squeeze in your entertainment center.

2) You need to purchase a power supply tester ($10) to power the power supply without plugging it into a motherboard.

You won't be disappointed with the power and ease of use from this receiver if you keep it in good repair. It has all of the settings I ever wanted. It converts S-video and composite video signals to component if you have a component cable running out to your TV. The USB wireless tool is really cool as well. I have my computer set up with itunes on the other side of the room and I can play all of my music on my surround system without any wires running between the two.

Overall, I was very pleased with this thing while it was working...the ventilation is probably a good idea with any high powered receiver.

Kenwood RFU-6100 Wireless System for Surround Speakers - This transmitter and receiver saves you from the hassle of running speaker cables to your surround sound speakers. Simply hook-up the transmitter to your audio receiver, then wire your rear speakers to the receiver. A much shorter cable run that doesn't have to cross an entire room! The signal is transmitted on 4 selectable RF transmission channels using the 900MHz frequency, rather than the more crowded 2.4 or 5.2GHz frequencies.

Amazon.com Product Description

Eliminate the biggest hassle of home theater: wiring surround sound speakers. The Kenwood RFU-6100 is a wireless solution that features a transmitter and receiver that operate using RF (radio frequency), which eliminates the speaker AC plugs found on conventional wireless speaker systems. With the RFU-6100, you can use higher-quality surround speakers than are typically found in conventional surround speaker systems.

The separate RF receiver unit has a built-in high-power digital amplifier for the surround speakers (up to 50 watts x 2 channels), which dramatically improves sound quality over conventional wireless systems, and it can be used up to 100 feet away from the transmitter. Active circuitry reduces noise interference, and 4 selectable RF transmission channels eliminate interference from other RF devices.

What's in the Box
Kenwood RFU-6100 wireless transmitter and receiver, 2 AC power adapters, 2 speaker wires.

Wireless back speakers.......2007-09-10

I am living in Norway and bought this product through Amazon and it arrived within a week.
It consists of two boxes, both which require AC 110 V. I set them up with 220/110 power converters and that worked nicely.

The small box, the transmiter, have very thin wires that is to be connected to the loudspeaker output of your amplifier. Theese very thin wires is the weakest point of this product. I would like to exchange them with proper speaker wires, but that is not possible without opening the transmitter.

The receiver has proper loudspeaker terminals, and here I can attach the cables I like.

The product works great. I can hear a faint hissing sound, and the power turns off and on again with a crack if the sound level of the source is to low, but the "wife acceptance" factor outsurpases that. She was very happy to loose the cables for our back speakers.

Great Substitute for Running Wires.......2007-03-10

This item is a great way to get your rear surround speakers sounding great without running wires from the front of the room. I have hardwood floors and there was no good way to hide the wires. This has performed really well. It is not as good as wires, but it is pretty darn close.

Works like a charm.......2007-01-10

I set this system up, and put on Saving Private Ryan, specifically the Omaha Beach sequence which is one of the best DVD surround mixes out there, and it performed admirably.

My only beef with the system is that the wires from the transmitter to your receiver are VERY short and not replaceable, so you have to position the transmitter no more than a foot from the source, making it hard to avoid interference from the surrounding machines.

Give me longer wires, and it'll be a 5 star review for the next generation.

No more wires across the living room floor!.......2006-10-27

Instead of running wires across your room a wireless transmitter sends the signal from your tv / dvd /receiver to the wireless receiver in the back of the room. You simply plug in the wireless receiver in the back of your room, plug it into the AC outlet, and run the speaker wires from the back receiver to you rear speakers.
The good: No more snaking wires under carpets , around coffee tables, along base boards. Very easy to setup and use and good sound. Mine is setup about 20' from the receiver and I haven't had any problems.
The bad: none i have found!

Does what is said it would.......2006-07-10

Installation was fairly easy. The receiver and transmitter are about 50' apart in my setup and it preforms flawlessly.

BE VERY CAREFUL before buying.......2005-12-15

Be careful. I've spent 4 hours in 'live chat' with their technical support to make this thing work. And it won't do what I need it to do. First, be careful -- it must be plugged directly into the wall socket(it won't work plugged into a power strip) and it needs a main USB port in the back of your computer unit (front, side, or alternate USB ports won't work -- less power to alternate USB ports they said). And the you have to download a 'PRO' version of the software hidden on their website in order to back-up your entire computer system. Be careful of folders within folders. Selecting individual files is very cumbersome and doesn't always capture the folders within folders. And, if you need to back-up another computer across a network -- this won't do it. According to Iomega tech support, Iomega doesn't have any product that backs up another computer over a network. Be careful. This is accurate -- but other printed things by Iomega don't pan out.

Flawless, attractive and a great value.......2005-09-21

It sits there quietly and does exactly what it's advertised to do and looks good to boot. What else could I ask for?

Pretty good so far.......2005-06-05

I have two iomega drives, one for more than a year and this one for a month or two now.
They both work fine.
The noise level is acceptable, since the drives are quiter than my laptop's fan itself.
However, be aware of what you are buying:
It is a DESKTOP external hard drive, so do not complain that it is too big to carry around, moreover including the power cord.
And more important: you are probably buying it for a backup purpose, so use it as such and do not keep your files ONLY in it.
