Pros: Front inputs, including a USB Port. Very good price.
Cons: none
The Bottom Line: I highly recommend this because, if you go ahead, and look around, at all the other A/V receivers in the $200-400 price range you’ll understand what I’m saying.

| cidd's Full Review: JVC RX-8010V 5.1 Channels Receiver |
This is one of the best A/V receivers for under $300. I think its miss price, because I found receivers that cost around $300-400, but are not better then the RX8010VBK. I can honestly say this too because, I spent around a total of 30+hours online and offline looking at various a/v receivers.
This is also my first A/V receiver. I decided to buy an A/V receiver, because the only audio system I was using was my computer. I simply wanted louder sound, with some kind of digital surround sound. So, I was just going to upgrade my speakers, and get a way better sound card. But after looking around I found the best and cheapest way to go, is just to get an A/V receiver and 5 speakers
.
I decided to get the RX-8010VBK, because of the features it has, and of course the price. The main feature that I like the most, and also got my attention, was the front USB port. Other features I like, and also makes this the best A/V receiver in its price range, are the front A/V inputs, 120 watts x2 in stereo mode, Banana Plugs speaker connections, Component, S-video, Digital inputs/outputs, on screen menu setup, the ability 2 have pairs of front speakers, and more. If you want a complete list of features go visit JVC website at www.jvc.com
Since this was for my first Audio/Video component these where the websites that helped me out the most, Best Buy’s website at www.bestbuy.com, and Consumer Review at http://consumerreview.com/
I have been using this receiver for over 2 months now. The sound, sounds great, on screen display makes it real easy, and fast to setup. USB audio works great with Windows 2000, everything works just fine. This receiver has pretty much everything but,THX. THX would just triple the price anyway so that works out. I can’t wait to try out the digital audio. I recently order a Toshiba SD2715, 5 disc, Mp3 DVD player online. Well, all in all I very happy what this receiver and I, had not, had one single problem yet.
One more thing that I would have like, and would have made my buying decision much easier, is if people took some time and type up some more reviews on this receiver. I found only like 4 reviews on this receiver. So I hope someone find this at least somewhat helpful.
My setup
Sony, SSM-MB300H (front speakers)
Sony, SS-CR170 3 piece Surround speakers
4 year old, Sony Stereo VCR SLV-775HF
8 year old, 20 inch Zenith Stereo TV (will upgrade to a JVC AV27230, 27 inch TV in a few weeks)
Home built, Duel Pentium 3 733 MHz computer.
