This receiver is a hidden gem. I have not seen this receiver written up. The street price is now $1,000 or less. I think the features are self-explanatory. What I really want to discuss is the sound quality and build quality of this unit. I have owned it since February 2002. I use it as an a/v preamp. The digital upsampling is very high quality. The upsampling adds in everyway. The treble is more smooth, the midrange is very open, the bass is more solid, the soundstage expands, instruments are more localized,etc. I leave the upsampling on with everything I run through it - redbook CDs, SACDs and DVD movies. JVC puts out the excellent XRCDs and developed the K2 digital interface which got some positive reviews a few years back. Whatever the reason, JVC did upsampling right in this reciever. I could recommend it simply on the quality of upsampling. They also shielded the receiver well. Sound emerges from a dead silent background. I have had no hum or popping problems. Switching is dead silent. I don't use the receiver's amps except for the surround channels so I can't say much about them. The surrounds don't sound excessively bright, tubby or "wrong" in anyway.

Bottom Line: Excellent a/v preamp and upsampler.

Product Weakness:	Only one coaxial digital input.
Product Strengths:	Upsampling is excellent, Very quiet a/v preamp.

  Yes, This unit sounds good and does just about everything. However, it is one of the most difficult pieces I have ever owned. On screen display stinks, the remote is a guessing game, the remote, although a learning one, only learns a handful of commands for each component, other learning remotes can't learn its signals (pronto neo!), the speaker jacks are spaced too far apart for dual bannanas, speaker terminals are loose fitting with most bannanas, the second Zone can only properly be controlled by the main remote (not even my niles intellipads) which means you have to buy another for the second Zone and finally, the auto on feature is great unless you have 2 sources on or else it won't let you choose (it's even worse if you leave a source on all of the time like my satellite for whole house audio). Want one cheap, call me 412-260-7329

    I wouldn't use this receiver to run a wholehouse audio system either.
