I don't know how well it performs but $115 is **** cheap for a reciever.

no fiber op. audio input. no hdmi. Just stereo left and right and video composite. rgb. Ehhh. But for that price you can always flip it over.

Meh.

That thing's tiny for seven channels of amplification...I doubt the parts quality is that high for any of it.

x2 Woot preys on impulsive buyers. Like me.

I somehow doubt it can supply 110 watts per channel for seven channels. Maybe if you're only playing one channel at a time.

But if you are on a really tight budget and need a 7.1 receiver it is a good price and would probably work. These days even cheap receivers don't sound too bad. Spending more money on better speakers would probably be a smarter investment if your budget is tight, just don't expect too much usable power from the JVC.

Could be a chip amp, but I seriously doubt it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
