Amazon.com Review
Arrayed with a robust 100 watts per five channels, Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround decoding, 5.1-channel direct analog inputs, and S-Video switching, JVC's RX-7000VBK is more than ready to serve as director of your home theater. And that's just the beginning. An onscreen display guides you through all aspects of setup and fine tuning; electronic tone controls and six DSP (digital signal processing) modes let you customize the sound to suit your room and taste; the tuner sports 45 FM/AM presets, and there's even a phono stage for vinyl lovers.
The RX-7000VBK's front panel is cleanly arranged and easy to navigate. We especially like the two jog-shuttle controls: one is for source selection while the other serves multiple duties like tweaking the levels and delay settings for each speaker, setting the crossover point between your subwoofer and main speakers, and customizing the DSP modes.
The remote control is free of clutter and is preprogrammed to operate a wide range of gear from other manufacturers--something multibrand users are sure to appreciate.
And kudos to JVC for providing three digital inputs (including coaxial for the DVD player) as well as S-Video switching for all audio-video sources. Although 5.1- channel direct inputs are available (if your DVD player has a built-in surround processor), few of us are likely to use these today, but they're nice to have on hand for cutting-edge surround formats like DVD-audio.
Notably missing are binding posts for all speaker terminals (you get cheesy push connectors for center and rear channels) as well as front-panel AV inputs--a must-have for frequent camcorder users; higher-end receivers offer these.
However, the RX- 7000VBK's sound should satisfy all but the most serious of audiophiles. The midrange is open and detailed, with excellent vocal delivery. The high frequencies are extended, yet slightly elevated, which should only be a problem if you have overly bright-sounding speakers. The bottom end is quick and detailed--though the weight of its punch is more bantam than heavyweight (most subwoofers can pick up any slack here--again, performance will depend on your speakers and other equipment).
The above-mentioned criticisms aside, JVC's RX- 7000VBK has fine sound, excellent features, and enough connectivity for most of us. It must count among the best in its price range. --Wayne Garcia
Pros:
Cons:
JVC's RX-7000VBK has a multitude of video switching capabilities, with three video inputs (including S-video) and four audio inputs that are gold plated for optimum conductivity. In addition, one coaxial and two optical digital audio inputs are assignable for direct-broadcast satellite, CD, minidisc, and DVD as needed.
Electronic bass and treble controls let you customize the sound to your liking, and JVC's Digital Acoustics Processor offers five preset sound fields for generating surround sound from two-channel sources.
The JVC RX-7000VBK features two jog dials for easy operation and enough audio-video inputs and outputs to hook up a video game system, a second VCR, or a camcorder. S-video hookups are included for DVD and video game use. The unit's digitally synthesized AM/FM tuner offers memory for 30 FM and 15 AM stations.
Text Compu Link displays CD Text or programmed title information on the receiver's fluorescent display and multicolor OSD (onscreen TV display). Users can select and categorize titles via the OSD and remote and can see title information even when CD changers are placed out of sight.
AV Compu Link provides simple one-touch operation between your JVC audio and video components. For example, pop a prerecorded VHS tape into the VCR and it will automatically power up your receiver and your TV and then turn them each to the proper inputs.
JVC offers a two-year warranty on parts and labor.
