Strengths: great features
Weaknesses: small remote buttons, confusing instructions
Summary: This replaced a 10 y/o JVC reciever that finally had tuning problems. Although set up and programing is much more advance then the old reciever, the result are well worth it. Sound is excellant and options galore. highly recommended

Strengths: Lots of connections.
Weaknesses: Useless FM tuner. Subwoofer output intermittent in operation.
Summary: This has the worst FM tuner I've ever heard! Useless. The subwoofer output works when it feels like it (on and off unpredictably). Basically, it does not fulfill the function of "receiver." I'm returning mine ASAP.

Strengths: BEFORE THE SURROUND SOUND SYSTEM FAILED THIS RECEIVER SOUNDED NICE. LOTS OF AUDIO INPUTS WITH GOOD POWER.
Weaknesses: THE SURROUND SOUND INC.THE SUB FAILED DURING THE 3RD.TIME OF OPERATION. ONLY THE FRONT SPEAKERS IN THE ANALOG MODE CONTINUED TO WORK. DISTANCE FM RECEPT. & STRONG LOCAL FM SEPARATION WAS POOR.
Summary: THIS JVC PRODUCT WAS A LEMON. IT WAS TO REPLACE A 15 YR. OLD SONY STR-AV1070 RECEIVER THAT HAS GREAT FM RECEPTION AND PROLOGIC SOUND BUT NOW IS OUT DATE. THE JVC DID NOT HAVE A GRAPIC EQUALIZER DISPLAY WHICH THE SONY DOES. AFTER CONTACTING ECOST IT TOOK 3-DAYS TO GET A RA #. I SHIPPED THE UNIT BACK TO ECOST AT MY EXPENSE ($15 DOLLARS). I HAD TO REORDER FROM ECOST OR LOSE $41 DOLLARS RESTOCKING CHARGE. I ORDERED A ONKYO TX-SR700 WHICH A HAVE NOT RECEIVED AS YET. FROM MY EXPERIENCE I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT. IT MAY HAVE DESIGN DEFECT A LEAST SHOULD HAVE BEEN FACTORY TESTING AND QC BY JVC BEFORE SHIPPING.
