Product Description:

Simplify and consolidate. If complicated hookups get you down and your home electronics are starting to take up too much space, JVC's RX-DV31SL combination DVD player and audio/video surround receiver might just be music to your ears... and eyes. The unit offers broad format compatibility--from standard DVDs to MP3 music and JPEG image CDs to high-resolution music from DVD-Audio titles--as well as high power, delivering a full 100 watts per channel to your existing stereo and/or surround-sound speaker system. Most movies are stored on DVD at the rate of 24 frames per second. JVC's Digital Direct Progressive-Scan feature uses 3:2 pulldown detection to convert film-based DVDs into double density--60 frames per second--progressive-scan images for display on a high-definition or HD-ready television. The result is natural, smooth images with less noise and higher resolution. A single, ultra-high-performance chip featuring Adaptive Geometrical Chroma Mapping performs AV decoding for the system. On the audio side, you get Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround passthrough and decoding, as well as Dolby Pro Logic II processing, which creates 5.1-channel signals from any stereo source. JVC includes a Digital Acoustics Processor (DAP) with 4 preset sound fields to digitally recreate the acoustics of specific concert venues, which you can use to enhance music or video programs of your selection. Using quick speaker setup, just tell the receiver the number of speakers you're using and your room size, and the receiver will route your audio to the appropriate speaker and delay the output as needed to ensure time-aligned audio at your listening position. DVD-Audio offers super high-fidelity (192 kHz/24-bit) sound. DVD-Audio music discs provide multichannel and stereo sound, incredible storage capacity, and unique bonus materials not available on regular audio CDs. The receiver's Audio Position feature lets you set the subwoofer level for both 5.1- and 2-channel playback so you can enjoy one setting for a DVD's ".1" LFE (low-frequency effects) signal and another when you simply wish to extend the low-frequency response of your stereo listening system, as for enhanced music playback.

Comment: nice integrated receiver Rating:
It is too early to make detailed comments but seems to be working fine. It seems hot to touch after a while (but aren't all receivers like this)? Their mp3 supports 32 chars but no ID3 tag display. picture quality looks good on my analog TV. I like the fact that they give both optical and coaxial digital inputs for your game console, satellite etc (most integrated units have none or just the optical input). The sound quality is good through my Athena speakers, but I could attribute it to the quality of speakers. The speaker holes are too small for the 16 gauge cable I bought. I somehaow managed to cram it in. It provides 5 channel stereo for your music collection, (I guess an upgrade from their previous integrated model). Plays home made DVDs effortlessly. nice package for only $270.
