Reviews of the JVC RX-D702B

CNET Review
The Good: 7.1-channel A/V receiver; HDMI switching; converts composite, component, and S-Video sources to HDMI; USB wireless connection for PCs; onscreen display appears on HDMI; 150 watts per channel; low-profile chassis.
The Bad: Inaccurate autosetup; especially tedious manual setup; no multiroom or multisource capability; runs hot.
The Bottom Line: JVC's good-sounding HDMI switching/upconverting RX-D702 receiver sets a new standard for features in the sub-$1,000 category.
