Review: The center channel sound from this machine is plainly bad. And just try to get support!
It's off the market by now, but don't bother spending the money.

Summary: Excellent entry-level surround sound home system
Review: This is a fantastic, entry level home theater system. I bought it for my parents last holiday (2000) with the JVC 5 disc CD changer, and when I connected the two with the little remote cable they provided, I was able to control both devices easily with one remote, and that was really neat. The manual is clear and easy to understand and read. The volume control is not "motorized" so when you adjust the volume from the remote, you can't see it move on the device itself. But this system is based on volume by number, not volume by position, so "30" for example, is just a relative position on the knob, not an fixed position. It's a large, heavy, stable unit, and the sound, which is what this is supposed to be all about, is great. Solid bass frequencies, included a bass expander, which proved too much for my parents' speaker system so we left it off. This device is very simple in appearance, use, and features, as mentioned its an entry level device and I give it 4 stars based on its position as an entry level system. A great price for the features, sound, and compatibility with other JVC products.

Summary: almost perfect
Review: This is almost an ideal receiver. I have 2 problems with it. First, there are not enough video inputs. I had to plug my PS2 in through my VCR since the only video in are VCR and DVD. That knocks off one star. The other star goes because my display window slowly stopped working. At first I could tap it and the display would work again, but finally it just quit, and this happened in less than a year. I'm sure it's a fluke - everyone gets a bad egg once in a while.

Summary: Excellent value in a mid-grade receiver
Review: This JVC A/V receiver delivers most of what it advertises and, for most home theater users, that is more than enough. The case is a bit bulky, but very sturdy. Front controls are easy to follow, and the remote is very user friendly.The receiver is generous in the number of inputs allotted, so that a user can connect VCR/DVD/CD/Television/Tape smoothly, quickly and with little or no confusion. The 6000VBK also gives the user a choice of digital or analog input. All of the connections are both logically and conveniently placed, making set-up a relatively painfree process. Up to six speakers can be connected, four front and two rear, plus a sub-woofer. At 100 watts per channel, that's enough power to knock the walls down with anything approaching a decent speaker. I run my system with 15-inch woofers, and the base response is so powerful that a sub-woofer in unnecessary. There are two minor weaknesses in the 6000, and they are just that, minor. First, the instructions stress that trying to connect a graphic equalizer in-line with any other component will cause distortion in the sound, particular on the low end or at high volume. The receiver features bass-boost and adjustable bass and treble levels, in effect providing an internal low-end equalizer, so this becomes a non-issue. Second, although the JVC 6000VBK claims to automatically switch the required video feed signals on the attached television/monitor, I have been unable to make that feature function properly. However, since this is easily accomplished at the television itself, it has no adverse effect on the performance of the receiver or any attached components. Overall, this receiver is an exceptional value, delivering top-end performance at a budget price. Highly recommended.

Summary: Unbelievable value
Review: This receiver is an amazing deal for the price... I purchased it for my new apartment in MD. My family owns a high-end receiver, and the JVC is much better in my opinion... it is really easy to use and interface, and serves an entire home audio/video theatre... The sound it produces with the digital connections is unbelievable, and if you can hook up multiple speakers to enjoy the amazing surround sound, it is well worth it... I have 2 floorstanding 350 WATT KLHs as well as 2 100 WATT Aiwas and a KLH sub... the power this system can produce with its 5 100 watt channels is amazing, and i never knew that my aiwa speakers(which I use as rear surround speakers) could ever sound this good. BUY THIS PRODUCT
