All in all, a core component that lets you take control of your A/V sound needs. That what makes home theater yours. You deserve enjoyment to the max. 2-Channel DAP - Mono Film/Theater1/Theater2/Hall1/Hall2/Dance Club/Live Club/Pavilion XM Satellite Radio Ready, SIRIUS Input and SIRIUS Control on Remote (requires subscription to Sirius or SM Satellite Radio) Multi-Brand AV Compatible Remote Control Video Signal Up-Conversion (Composite to S-Video/S-Video to Component) Hybrid Feedback Digital Amplifier 3D-PHONIC Virtual Surround mode 3D Headphone mode Quick Speaker Setup DSP Digital Equalizer JVC AV COMPU LINK Center-Channel Alignment Midnight Mode Dynamic Bass Boost Unit Dimensions - 17.19 W x 3.63 H x 14.19 D / Weight - 14.8 lbs.
Amazon.com Product Description Surround speakers don't amount to much without a quality receiver, and this JVC 7.1-channel model plays the role perfectly. Equipped with a full complement of surround decoders, including Dolby Digital EX, DTS (ES, Neo:6, and 96/24), and Dolby Pro Logic (II and IIx)--the receiver breathes life into home theater audio, delivering spectacularly crisp, explosive sound for both movies and music. The decoded formats are complemented by JVC's digital audio processor (DAP), which creates dynamic audio soundstages that mimic the acoustics of the most popular live venues. Among the multichannel and two-channel DAP selections are Theater, Hall, Dance Club, Live Club, and Pavilion.
Internally, the receiver is equipped with a hybrid feedback digital amplifier (version III) and a DSP digital equalizer. The amp runs at 770 watts of total power (110 watts x 7 in surround mode, 110 watts x 2 in stereo mode), which should satisfy all but the largest listening environments. To create an even wider sound field, the receiver offers a virtual surround back function that simulates the effect of a rear surround speaker even if you don't own one. And if you're not quite ready to upgrade to full surround but want to keep your options open, you can employ the receiver's 3D Phonic virtual surround function, which simulates the dynamic realism of full surround sound through your system's pair of stereo speakers.
Busy listeners will appreciate the RX-D212B's AV Compu Link function, which facilitates simple one-touch coordination between your JVC audio and video components. Simply pop a DVD into your JVC DVD player and the RX-D212B automatically activates the receiver and TV while switching them to the proper modes. Meanwhile, people who live in large households will delight in the 3-D Headphone feature, which creates an out-of-the-box surround effect through any ordinary pair of stereo headphones (not included). The receiver even lets you stream audio directly from your computer using its USB PC link, which works with both PCs and Macs.
In addition to including a digital AM/FM tuner, the RX-D212B also accommodates both XM and Sirius satellite radio. The XM option is a bit more pocketbook-friendly, as all you need is a separately sold antenna and subscription and you're ready to go. Once you subscribe to XM, you can view all the XM channel and artist information on the RX-D212B's built-in display. By contrast, you'll need a Sirius tuner and subscription to enjoy the full array of Sirius channels, but the RX-D212B eases the transition by including a Sirius input that interacts with the unit's remote control. The Sirius input also makes it easy to scan for channels or access station information.
Components connect to the unit through its comprehensive series of inputs and outputs, including two digital audio inputs (one optical, one coaxial), four analog audio inputs, and two analog audio outputs. The RX-D212B also acts as an audio/video switcher, with up-conversion from composite to S-video or S-video to component signals. The A/V jacks include two component video inputs and one output, three S-video inputs and three outputs, and three composite inputs and three outputs.
The RX-D212B measures 17.19 by 3.62 by 14.19 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a two-year warranty on parts and labor.

Want great music at your computer? Get this box.January 19, 2007 16 out of 18 found this review helpful
Here's why you should buy this receiver. Do you sit at your computer a lot and long for good music? I did. First, I got what I thought was a good sound card and amplified computer speakers... but the sound was so inferior to the stereo in my living room I could not believe it. So I got this guy and it is THE perfect solution. Here's why. Obviously having music piped directly out of your computer via USB into a high quality receiver is key. I plugged the USB in, Windows XP recognized it immediately, and I had music in 15 seconds. Unbelievable. I can now start up iTunes, or run [...] (not tried Pandora yet? Do it today), and get excellent selection, excellent sound, from a full bodied amplifier. The other key to this unit is it is THIN. About 2.5 inches tall. I actually slid it under my computer monitor, right behind my keyboard, and it barely made a dent in my desk. Yet the controls are now right there in front of me where I can get at them. And the USB port is in the front and easy to reach. And finally, the unit is inexpensive. Roughly $250 and you've got a first class receiver, 110 watts per channel, all you need for superior music from your computer. So if you were thinking of getting one of those $200 boxes that pipe music to your living room from your computer, stop and think where you sit most of the day and instead, just add a powerful but cheap receiver right AT your computer, and get the music where you need it. By the way, also order a USB cable as none comes in the box. You'll want the thin at one end, fat at the other end variety (search on USB A/USB B).
