JVC RXD301S 110-Watts per channel Audio / Video Control Receiver with Wireless PC Connectivity Reviews
Now the majority of my music comes from my Itunes library wirelessly from my Mac PowerBook G4 (laptop). The Wireless feature is the best thing that has ever happened to me and my relationship with music. I use it with my Panasonic DVD/CD player, Panasonic TV and VCR, Denon record player and I have a port for my Ipod Nano. I stumbled upon the JVC Receiver here on Amazon and realized after a lot of research that it was the receiver for me. It's been great and I love this thing.
Everything was slowly going out on it and the final straw was when the left channel went. I did a lot of research to find an affordable, powerful and stylish replacement. I would recommend this product and I have. One thing is that I new I would not have any problems with the venting that it requires to keep the heat problem under control. I bought this receiver to replace a large MGA receiver that was given to me many years ago.
This is a great receiver to hookup to PCs. You can have wired and wireless connectivity USB there by allowing to hook up two PCs to this receiver.
You keep your music on an mp3 player. That's 80ish gigs of music available to your receiver without a DVD or CD player. Let's face it. It works very nicely from up to 20 feet away. 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. With today's mp3 rage, how can you not want this capability.
This is really, really cool. Transmit it to your great sounding stereo. At this price range a receiver is a receiver is a receiver. What they don't have is wireless transmitting of your mp3's on your laptop to the receiver. You listen to streaming audio on Rhapsody/or other.
Setup requires really, really reading the owners manual to get your components and speakers playing nicely. But when complete, it's as good as any in this price range. Don, Harrisburg PA. Connect it to your laptop/desktop and transmit it to the JVC receiver.
(USB setup is a snap). They all have the same inputs and outputs and watts per channel. It just depends on which brand you are familiar with.
Weak sound to back speakers. Insane setup features. The decoder does a poor job of seperation. The owners manual gave me a headache. 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.
Just allow it to install its ops onto your PC, (not even a minute), and its great. I ended up exchanging it as it was essentially defective, but rest assured, Ive found myself my home theater hub. Overall I was pleased with it while the wireless worked. Next: heed any warnings for the wireless function. Great buy. Yeah it got friggin hot, but a friend of mine just installed a couple of comp cooling fans in his ent.
MAC: just plug and play (of course. The upconversion function is automatic, no need to pay mind to that. center, they work like a freakin charm. Mine was working for 5 minutes, then something I did screwed up the connection between the transmitter and the receiver. I love OSX.)., switch outputs though in the preferences the first time, and youre golden.
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. Great features, awesome sound, even with their "virtual surround back" feature when not having the back surround(s) installed. center. read this.
Whenever its plugged in, the PC automatically switches audio out to the USB. 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. 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. The other review mentioned heat issues.
