I have owned this receiver for over a year and have been trying to isolate why it would turn off during movies during high volume scenes (the same scenes every time they are played). Basically the receiver is overloaded! JVC support is no help, they suggested that the speakers might be bad. I replaced my old speakers with 5 New Yamaha speakers all rated at 150W and a Yamaha powered subwoofer and replaced all the speaker wires. SAME PROBLEM! Searching the WEB I found a couple of other people who had the same problem with JVC receivers. I finally solved the problem by replacing the JVC receiver with a Yamaha RX-V361BL. All the movies now play at any volume perfectly. | 2 | Today | I love this sound!
First off, I bought this mainly for music listening, but I will be using it for movies also.
I always had personal a problem with digital receivers...they had clarity but lacked warmth and a powerful sound. Let me tell you, this has everything I like in a sound... digital clarity, no distortion, but yet it does not sacrifice warmth and presence- better described as a powerful sound.
To be straight forward, the sound quality for this is awsome!!!
My set up with this is my computer, using FLAC files because I am an audiophile, through usb. The price is amazing for what I got! This unit sounds better than a Sony ES receiver that I listened to at a store that cost over $1000.00.
I am so glad I bought this. Furthermore, I cant believe I got a such a good deal at the price it goes for. Take it from a picky person for audio, this unit gets the job done far beyond the call of duty.
Yay JVC!

Cons

I've had my RX-D201S continuously powered on for the last six months, and it still works. The unit does get very warm. The USB connection has worked great from day one, and that is why I bought this unit. A paid $168.00 (shipping included), and I thought it was a good price, since a good USB sound card will cost that much itself.
The only problem I've had is that a small amount of noise (clicks & pops) is generated over the USB connection. The noise only occurs when playing 44.1khz audio (most all CD & Mp3-not music video or movies) through USB. This could be a fault with the unit or my laptop. I'd like to ask JVC customer support about it, but JVC does not seem to offer customer support, as none of my emails were answered.
Bottom Line: You won't mistake this unit for one that costs $300+ | 3 | Today | Speaker wire connectors are cheap
I was looking at the entire series of JVC receivers, the 205, 211, 302, 411 and 702. I almost got a 211 but I noticed the speaker wire connectors on the back are the cheap push in clamps. Those tend to break off bits of
wire and cause short circuits. The 702 uses the good screw down connectors. The 402 uses half of each! I strongly suggest you go to [...], click on support, enter the model number and download the owners manual before buying. The description on Amazon only scratches the surface. Otherwise these look like good electronics although I would get a lower end model since they will all shortly be obsolete. | 3 | Today | I love digital amp receivers!
I originally bought the 401 but exchanged it for the 205 as the 401 was much too complicated for my purposes. I also found that the HDMIs on the 401 are for convience (fewer cables) and does not make any noticable improvements over component connects. When I up-grade to HD-DVD I can still run an HDMI into my LCD-HDTV with a digital audio out to the 205. The 205 does not have all the extra features of the 401 but it performs just as well. I use the 205 for surround in my bedroom driving 7 JBL sats and sub. It doesn't seem to have quite the power of my living room Panny XR55 (driving big athenas and sunfire sub) but it still does the job remarkably well. I do think it's more attractive than the panny, more compact and costs less. It gets warm but so did the 401. The remote is small but I had planned to buy a Harmony universal anyway so it was a non issue. | 4 | Today | Superb sound quality, excellent feature set
I am using the unit for audio applications, not home theater (which I may try later). The receiver drives my Klipsch speakers providing a sound that is very distinct and yet without sharp edges. All members of my critical-eared family love the sound. The direction connection via USB works wonderfully with my Digital Juke Box (MediaMonkey). This important feature is not available in most competitive products. In fact, I was so happy with this product that within two weeks I bought a second one for another room.
I like the surround sound generated through DSP for 2 channel stereo recordings. The product has a ton of features. It takes some time to read the manual but it is mostly clear. There are so many different environments in which this product may be used that setting it up properly will take more than 5 minutes. But the large number of setup options (a good thing) makes this unavoidable. The setup procedure is implemented fairly well.
The value one receives for this modestly priced product is incredible. JVC has done a great job. | 5 | Today | Excellent Value Receiver
I am very pleased with the performance at the pricepoint. The sound improvement for both movies and satellite on my TV is outstanding. I have not used either the game mode or the PC mode. The auto-select for digital processing is impressive as is the selection of environments.
The only annoyance is the remote control. It is much too small with many little tiny buttons. Even at that, it does NOT control my Direct-TV box so I STILL need a second remote to watch satellite TV.
I wish that it had HDMI but not another one hundred bucks worth. I would buy it again. | 4 | Today | Lot of features for the $$$
The JVC RX-D205 has a ton of features usually not found in a HT reciever in the <$200.00 range, such as:(3 digital audio inputs, USB connection, various surround options,etc,etc.).
Sounds great in my small living room on 5.1 setting.
As always, speakers are major factors, especially listening to music.
With all the features, it can be a bit tedious to set up intially, otherwise 5 stars ***I strongly advise reading the manual first*** | 4 | Today |
