Title: Not Ready For The Market
Product review: I purchased this receiver because of its claimed HDMI capability - there are no others yet on the market much under $1000.I could not get it to perform properly with my home theater, including HD plasma TV, with HDMI or component connections. I called JVC's service desk. After encountering several levels of expertise on their side, I was told the receiver needed a "firmware upgrade" in order to operate as claimed. I said I would just return it to Amazon for another, but JVC intimated that I would only encounter the same problem. I had to ship it to JVC's service center, at my expense. After 10 days, I called the center, and was told it had been received a week earlier, but had not yet been assigned to a technician. I could expect a four to six week time period before it would be returned.I'll write another review when I get it back, and report on its performance.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
