For pre-digital video switching, this is the one to get........2007-12-22
I was looking for a receiver that would switch whatever kind of anaolg video (i.e. composite, S-video, or component) and output component video. My TV is analog and good, so I have no use for digital video in or out. This is one of the few that will do that switching, and luckily it is an excellent receiver. The sound is great, noticably better than the Sony that I initially bought. Some reviews say it's complicated to set up, but I had no more trouble with it than the Sony, and its manual was much better, actually. It also allows much greater control over its features than the Sony did, and its inputs and outputs are more versatile and better organized. The wireless USB is as easy as can be, and is a GREAT feature when you combine it with an online radio station like slacker. I haven't had any heat issue that some mention, and I've been playing many long hours of Christmas music on it since I got it. Another feature I appreciate is that it automatically remembers all of your audio settings for each input, so you don't get blasted and have to jump on the volume control whenever you switch from one to another. From the reviews and features, I was hoping for a lot when I bought this, and I like it even more than I thought I would. Unfortunately, I think it's discontinued now that digital video has become standard for new equipment, so if you want one, you better get it. But hopefully JVC will keep the same quality of engineering and design on their succeeding models.
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 for the price.......2007-11-13
Let's face it. At this price range a receiver is a receiver is a receiver. It just depends on which brand you are familiar with. They all have the same inputs and outputs and watts per channel.
What they don't have is wireless transmitting of your mp3's on your laptop to the receiver. This is really, really cool. It works very nicely from up to 20 feet away. That's 80ish gigs of music available to your receiver without a DVD or CD player! You keep your music on an mp3 player? Connect it to your laptop/desktop and transmit it to the JVC receiver! You listen to streaming audio on Rhapsody/or other? Transmit it to your great sounding stereo! With today's mp3 rage, how can you not want this capability?
Setup requires really, really reading the owners manual to get your components and speakers playing nicely. (USB setup is a snap). But when complete, it's as good as any in this price range.
Hey JVC, If I could do all the setup on my laptop and download it to the receiver, I would be in heaven...to many damn buttons!...hint, hint!
Don, Harrisburg PA
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.
