Their claim was that they had to continuously order parts again and again, but nothing ever worked.When I try to contact JVC to get relief, I wait on hold for a very long time and don't get the satisfaction I need.This JVC experience has completely soured me to any JVC product. I took it to my local JVC Authorized repair center, but after 4 months, they were still unable to get the unit working. Purchased in May '05. Worked for one day, then simply stopped working. I'm just one technology "geek", but I would never recommend JVC to anyone (at least anyone I like).
This JVC receiver delivers great performance for not much cash,full rich sound and snappy styling.Proper set-up is important with this unit ,take your time and read the manual carefully,you'll be rewarded.
It would have been much nicer to have binding posts or banana jacks. The NEO6 processing sounds great with older stereo recordings. All in all with what I paid for this receiver ($169 on sale at Amazon) I cannot complain.
The only complaint I would have about this receiver would be the spring terminals for the speaker wires. I have since reccomended this receiver to several folks at work. I bought this receiver on the advice of some audiophile discussion groups.
The unit looks great, only runs slightly warm and is easy to use. This receiver is highly sought after in these groups. I am extremely happy with the surround and two channel sound right out of the box.
My old RCA makes the speakers sound great in this scenario, but it's just a big, black, ugly receiver. I simply need a slim receiver that can produce decent full-range stereo sound on one pair of full-range 100w 8ohm speakers. This was supposed to replace my old 50-watt RCA brand theatre receiver and simply drive two Infiniti 100-watt 8ohm wall-mounted speakers - and no subwoofer. Hook back up my old RCA and walla. In fact, no matter what EQ or bass-boost settings were tried (and it wasn't easy to navigate), bass frequencies became almost non-existent out of my speakers. I am not going to buy a subwoofer to accomodate your products design flaws." Besides, my old RCA sounds great without one, and I don't want some subwoofer hogging up floor space in dining-room. This JVC slim receiver refuses to sound right, either.
great sound returns to my speakers. The knob does nothing. JVC offers no explanation for the missing bass frequencies. "No thanks, JVC. Of course, they lazily suggest a subwoofer. It's very annoying. Hello,Avoid the JVC RXF10S for music listening (stereo-sound) purposes.
You have to go and find the remote, and point it close to the receiver, and press up-up-up or down-down-down on the remote repeatedly. I thought this JVC would look nicer.This JVC is small and somewhat interesting looking, but it makes common tasks very difficult to accomplish, like adjusting bass/treble or switching radio stations. For example: You would think if you press "tuner" and then simply turn the adjacent knob, you could easily adjust the radio station frequency, but NO. This JVC isn't it.
My downstairs system is a highly customized high end audio system. I use it for an upstairs bedroom system. Soon, I will move it downstairs and compare it to my modified amp and preamp. You can go to AudioCircles.com, which is an audiophile site, and see thousands of comments on the RX-F10. As a matter of fact it beats most separates. Summarizing, I don't that that you find a better bargain. Most agree that this unit, after a long breakin, beats most multi-thousand dollar receivers. In addition, you can spend thousands and it likely not be as good as the RX-F10, which is outstanding, even when driving complicated loads like a Magnepan, Apogee or an electrostatic.
