JVC RX-F10 AV-receiver

JVC RX-F10 is not a new model, but still popular. The receiver's body has the same expressive profile and finish as XV-NP10 player has. The remote control with an abundance of buttons (another 50 are hidden under the lid) is not easy to learn, but it has advanced capabilities. On the rear panel there are six pairs of terminals for the speakers, three SCART connectors and three digital connectors, a pair of stereo line inputs and additional RCA for connecting a multi-channel source. There are also an output for the AV component and connections for component and S-Video.

Surround mode, designed in Dolby Pro Logic II and DTS Neo: 6, is provided for stereo sources. In addition to these, the JVC RX-F10 has nine native DSP modes, a surround sound function for stereo phones and a virtual surround sound environment. What did I forget to mention? Well, TV-Direct mode, which does not disconnect its switch when the receiver is turned off. And you can ... clap your hands so the device deigns to adjust the sound fields. I'm not kidding. After clap RX-F10 will determine the distance of the speakers and automatically set the sound processing parameters.

Among the settings there are a choice of the cutoff frequency of the subwoofer and a five-band equalizer - with this correction it is possible to precisely match the bass and achieve linear sound even from the most capricious loudspeakers. JVC RX-F10 is also not deprived of power: the six-channel digital amplifier pleases with dynamic sound without any signs of compression and overload. Another sound disappointed: inside the RX-F10 there are relays that click (turn off the sound path) for any reason - and when changing decoding modes, and even when switching to a new track of the disc.
