JVC RX-411 DIGITAL A/V RECEIVER REVIEW: Give Your Audio & Video Experience a Boost

December 2006 By —Clint Walker

The tone of my system did take some adjusting. I found the JVC to be very bright on the top end versus my reference amplifier through the same speakers. The JVC did run a little hot, which is not unusual for a digital amp in a small chassis and really no need for concern.

Using the RX-411 produced the most positive experience I have had with a JVC product to date. The amount of thought and application of features that went into the new RX-411 are simply outstanding. Video performance running through the JVC was close to that of my reference system that uses an outboard processor, which alone costs twice that of the JVC unit.

With a street price of about $500, I can see a lot of these units in consumers’ homes by Christmas, and also JVC raising the bar as other manufacturers hurry to compete with the feature-set. Kudos to the design team at JVC for a well executed product. Any chance we might see a wood finish in the future?
