The Bottom Line:
This product is an excellent buy. It has great features and is compact in size. Sound and video reproduction is great.
For a while I needed good Home Theater receiver; one that had good features and one that would not put a dent in my wallet. I already owned a Technics Pro Logic receiver which I used mainly for FM and CD playing.
When I saw the JVC RX-F10 advertised, I knew this was the one for me. However, I could find no reviews on the product so I had to rely on my gut feeling and the advertised features. I have had the F10 for a month and I am satisfied with its performance. I use the F10 with my DVD player, DVD recorder and VCR. The F10 is a 6.1 receiver even though I have it connected to a Pyle PDHT 5.1SL speaker set plus a sub.
The quality of sound reproduction is excellent with this set-up. The front main speakers give great sound while the dialogue through the center speaker is crisp and clear. The slightest background chatter or noise is distinct on the left and right surrounds. Presently, I don't have a surround back (center rear) connected but the F10 has a feature called Virtual Surround Back which compensates for this.
In terms of input and output terminals, the RX-F10 is well provided for. There are inputs for DVR/DVD player, VCR, DBS and TV. There are also three digital audio inputs (1 coax and 2 optical). These can be assigned to any of the equipment connected to the set. I have Toshiba D-R2 and a Panasonic DVD-F85 connected to the opticals and a digital cable box connected to the coax. Unfortunately, you cannot assign them names such as DVD1 and DVD2 since the names are fixed. One thing to note carefully here is that once you have connected your equipment digitally, you must ensure that the F10 understands this. You must press on the remote a button marked "Analog/Digital Input". The selection alternates between "Analog" and "Digital Auto". Select Digital Auto. Unless you do this, the F10 will assume that an analog equipment is connected and it will only reproduce left and right signals.
A pleasant feature of the F10 is its ability to select a number of useful surround modes even though the incoming signal is only 2-channel. On the front panel press "Surround" and use the Jog Dial to choose a surround mode. I have that PLII and Neo:6 are fine modes. There is also a "All Channel" when playing CDs that distributes the sound to all the connected speakers. For those who have several JVC products connected, the AV Compulink allows you to control all the components through the F10 via its remote. The remote is listed to be able to control other manufacturers' products. So far I have only been able to control a Zenith cable box.
