I'm in the market for another home theatre system for a dedicated TV room and JVC will not be on my list. I don't really consider myself stupid. Usually I refer to the User's Manual. Thank God Sony puts out a separate folder with the TV that helps immensely. It is absolutely fool proof. JVC has created a User's Manual for the TH-D 60 that for complexity rivals anything I've ever seen.
Trust me. I have more or less successfully managed to hook up stereo and TV components for more than 50 years. This Manual is unbelievable. The Home Theatre system seems to work fine which is why I gave it 4 stars but I still can't figure out whether it is hooked up correctly. If you have just a basic TV and a simple DVD to hook up I suppose you can do it but if you have a complex HD Sony 50" TV and 4 different components it is a nightmare. By the way, the best manual I've EVER seen is the one that came with my $128 NB500MGX Magnavox Blu-Ray Player I bought the other day.
A great job.
The sound quality is great, the picture is looks amazing. the remote doesn't work with all features but it works well with the basics. There are no preset plugs for speaker cables.Speaker wire can easily be upgraded for better sound. I like the capabilities to use one remote for TV, Cable Box, DVD player and iPod. For the price the best possible sound and picture. I highly recommend this product.
Does almost everything I wanted it to do, and it does it at a price less than the rest. Looks good, and not too expensive. It looks like it has gone up in price since I purchased it, so it must be a unit in demand. Sound quality is good for the price. To get something better than this, you would be looking at double in price.
Got it on Amazon when it was only $275, which was a steal to the current price of over $400. Overall, it is a great system. It could have been a better system had it included a 5-disc changer like other competitor models and taller floor speakers, but thats no big deal because it's still great. Had everything I wanted from Ipod dock to DVD to 1200 watts. The audio quality is amazing compared to an older model we had. The initial setup was a little confusing but manageable, make sure you follow the manual. I recommend this system to anyone thinking of buying it, although I'm not sure when it will be at $275 again.
I have only 2 minor criticisms. I bought it mostly for the extra features like USB and Ipod plus it plays almost every file format. This is my first HTS. First is that it would have been nice to have some sort of program for auto-leveling the speakers once they were placed. Sound is great and it was easy to setup. So far, I'm very happy with the purchase. Two, I couldn't find the batteries for my remote. But I might have thrown them out with the packaging cuz I was in such a hurry to set it up.
