Summary:
i jave had this unit for five year and never a problem. good sound for cd and music. i have my dvd player connected and play every dvd throught the receiver.

Price Paid:  $300.00 from maxwel

Summary:
A very bad buy, the real center output distorts the sound, terminator sounds like daffy duck. No realy for movies the center is very important, al the voices come throug the center speaker, and if it's not ok it is realy bad. Also the music sounds bad. after 2 months i brought it back and they checkt it at jvc, even up the review report by the reveiver and still it came back saying nothing was wrong and i should use better cables. I had used the best very bad service JVC ! But i could traid it in for a RX-8000 which was very good and then you hear the diference !! Wel it has also some this but works for me. (sorry for my spelling

Summary:
JVC RX-6008V Reciever, Plays Radio, DVD, and CD's with good quality. The cables that you run makes all the difference. If your running cheap cables then your not gonna be satsified. I have cheap center and rear speakers but good mains and the sound for home theather is great, the center is alittle weak but can be modified. Plenty of power enough to piss the neighbors off. Optical is the way to go.

Strengths:
Plenty of power, Ease of use.

Weaknesses:
not enough optical hook ups

Summary:
I love this reciever although it is not a very high quality reciever. This thing is a tank at 250 dollars. It is mildily loud. I am running Cerwin Vega LS-12s. It gets decently loud. PL sounds bad unless you are listening to a DVD. DD sounds good and DTS isnt bad. This reciever sounds very good in stereo operation. The rear channels are weak because in surround sound, they are mainly for effects. Unless there is a person speaking off the viewing area of a tv or unless there is background noise, there should not be dialogue. In other terms, the majority of the time, you shouldn't hear anything out of the rear speakers. I bought a 900 dollar Denon AVR-3300 and it was a POS that overheated and shut down (Design flaw error by Denon). I returned it and I am still running my hardcore JVC. LOL. This is the recievers near 3rd year of being run everyday. Its made it through countless movies and parties. I will probably buy a JVC RX-9000 if they are still available, but I will still run this just to see how long it runs.

Strengths:
Good price, good looks, great build quality-this thing has gone to hell and back and still runs fine, great 2 ch stereo sound, easy to figure out how to work.

Weaknesses:
Center and rear channels are fairly distorted, especially in PL, cheap remote.

Summary:
This review is for the RX6008V. Very easy to use and hook up. I'm using a low end DVD player and the surround sound is excellent! If it's the satellite receiver, cable tv or the DVD player its great! No problems with speaker hiss or center/surround speakers at all. Cranks loud enough that the neighbors know what movie we're watching.

Strengths:
Easy to use and set up.

Weaknesses:
JVC product only remote. Needs more digital inputs.
