Description:
With 100 watts per channel in surround mode and 120 watts per channel in stereo, JVC's RX-888VBK surround receiver offers strong, stable sound as well as topnotch features such as Dolby Digital and DTS surround decoding. While it's not constructed with the same audiophile-grade parts as many higher-priced models, this receiver is still a strong value, bolstered by JVC's unflagging attention to sound quality.Full surround options are at your fingertips here, from Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic to DTS and 5.1-channel analog inputs for future surround formats such as DVD-Audio. JVC loads the RX-888VBK with more S-video inputs than most people know what to do with and lets you choose between coaxial and Toslink optical digital-audio connections, depending on your taste and DVD player. The RX-888VBK uses AV Compu Link, JVC's system for enabling its components to communicate with one another. With the simple insertion of a video tape, audio CD, or cassette into a Compu Link component, a series of automated events activates the complementing JVC Compu Link products, simplifying the operation for you. Text Compu Link is an additional step toward system automation. The system is fully compatible with text data carried on media such as minidisc and CD Text-compatible CDs and transmits this data from component to component. Text Compu Link ties together JVC receivers with JVC CD changers, minidisc recorders, DVD players, and your TV. You can choose the track you want to play from a list on the TV screen, and you can search by performer, title, or genre. JVC Text Compu Link shows text data (performer name, disc title, and genre) of CD Text-enabled CDs and DVD Text-enabled DVDs on the receiver's display and on your TV screen.
