The Bottom Line:
The JVC RX-888VBK is an excellent receiver is great foundation for almost any home theater system.
Why did I buy this product?
I bought this product because I am a fan of JVC?s commitment to quality and service after the sale. My goal when I began building my first entertainment system 6 months ago was to have the best system possible for $4,000-5,000. After listening to countless Sony and JVC models I decided to go with the JVC RX-888-VBK because it was a great heavyweight performer and was packed with loads of s-video inputs and digital audio inputs. Another key JVC feature I have enjoyed is the Compu-Link system that sets the receiver modes automatically when you insert a DVD into a JVC DVD player or a tape into a JVC videocassette recorder.
My experience using this product.
Setup of the receiver via the on screen menus is a godsend. My favorite thing is watching a DTS DVD, the 6 channel audio is second to none.
What do I love about this product?
Onsceen Menus
Lots of S-video inputs and digital audio
High-power
What do I hate?
The speaker terminals are too close together but how often do you mess with them anyway? I found it helpful to solder the wires a little before inserting them so I could avoid messing with frayed wires. I wish there was an internal bridge for converting composite video to s-video but as it stands they are on different circuits. VCR 2 doesn?t have s-video inputs. The FM antenna has a bizarre connector. DVD must be turned up higher than I like but almost every reciever I tried had this problem.
