I read most of the reviews posted here before my purchase and I learned a lot, so will focus on points not made before. I was also disappointed that there weren't more inputs, but solved the problem using an external input selector (4 channels) for seldom used inputs from obsolete media (audio cassettes, record turntable, CD jukebox, etc). I was even more disappointed that there is no switched AC outlet, but i am an engineer so designed and built a device that senses current and turns on an outlet to power the subwoofer amp, etc. Customer service is not the best. I submitted several questions through their website and they answered 1 of 4 adequately. Then a different person wrote that I need to talk to them in person. After a long wait, I got through and he could answer two more questions, but said he can tell me neither whether or not it should nor why my DVD player's HDMI works directly to the TV, but not through the JVC amp. I would need to take it to an authorized JVC shop to be checked out. Dreading disconnecting the rats nest of input and output cables, I worked around the problem using component video. I'll likely get blue-ray soon anyhow. It does not downconvert, so if you use a higher-level input like HDMI, nothing comes out of the conventional output jacks that you would expect to connect to a VCR or DVD recorder.
That's it for the negatives. It's performance has been superlative. It's low height was a major advantage because my cabinet only has 6.25"height. I added a small, quiet DC muffin fan to draw air from the left side and top towards the rear and it runs cool. The auto calibration works very well. The USB input does work from a Mac, though they said it's not supported. The wireless USB also works, but I have some interference issues with 2 airports in the same room. I am still optimizing the channel selections to minimize interference. You can select any of 13 channels using a button on the transmitter, but there is no way to tell which channel it is on. It works well with a logitech universal remote. The manual is OK once you learn it's structure and add a few tabs. Overall, I am very pleased and only the negatives mentioned in the first paragraph kept it from getting all 5 stars. |
