I have to turn it up to 50-55 to listen to a movie at moderate volume, and 60-65 still really isn't that loud. This occurs at event moderate listening levels.Now my DVD player only has a coaxial connection for its digital output, so I can't say what difference if any would be afforded by an optical connection.Īs many other have said here, it does seem that you have to crank the volume up much higher than you would think you should to accheive adequate volume. Die Hard,on the other exibits so much center channel hiss that it is difficult to watch. Star Trek:First Contact for example sound fantastic with only a small amount of audible center channel hiss at the listening position. It is true that some of this Hiss is attributable to the source material. My only real complaint in DD playback is sometimes the center channel hiss is sufficiently audible to be annoying. Fortunately, I would have to say that the DD performance of this receiver is its strong suit. My primary reason for buying a new receiver was for home theater, dolby digital playback with my Toshiba 2008 DVD player. The DSP chip in this unit is still popular with recording engineers restoring old reverbs so popular with Capitol and Columbia recordings from the dawn of stereo.

This unit has pushed everything from Infinity 12" 3-way towers, Carvin 822s and PM5s, Teac surround speakers, Yamaha NS10s.īeing that this review is 9 years after the most recent ones, I think that the RX-888v BK has withstood the test of time. The slew and damping rates are strong and consistent with quality American-made AB amps. That can be bad for thin wires and crappy speakers. Unlike many systems nowadays, these amplifiers put out close-to-genuine RMS ratings, not just pie-in-the-sky peaks. I have put the Monoprice on all sorts of test equipment and I can honestly say that their stuff performs just as well as Monster Cable like product vs. My lightpipe/opticals are all Philips (got a great deal on them). I use MONOPRICE speaker cables, 12AWG OFC (the skinning effect being considered, I use this for everything), Monoprice OFC RCA and coax lines. The only negative is the long, drawn out menu selection process. I keep the connectors clean with 90% isopropyl alcohol, I vacuum the unit and keep air circulation open (using NSF wire shelving its entire life). This unit is now used to amplify lightpipe (optical digital), coaxal digital, PCM (sourced from digital players along with an external sound box for my computer (both Emu and Digidesign).
#Jvc rx 206 digital synthesizer receiver how to
I worked for a pro-audio company and bought this when the theft of my TOL Sony had occurred.Īlmost every negative comment in the dozens I read referred to units bought used (usually on Ebay, thus being packed and shipped by amateurs) or reviewers that didn't convey that they know how to route wires, etc. I've had this 12 years - This unit has NEVER failed me.
