JVC RX-664V — A Hundred Watts on Five Channels, a Real Phono Stage and JVC’s SEA Equaliser, from 1998
A 1998 audio-video receiver with a hundred watts on every one of its five channels, a proper moving-magnet phono stage, and JVC’s own three-band equalisation.
The Late-1990s Sweet Spot
The RX-664V sits in the useful middle of the home-theatre era — late enough to have five real amplifier channels and a subwoofer output, early enough to still take a turntable seriously. The phono input is a genuine moving-magnet stage rather than a line input with a label on it, which is worth saying because it disappeared from receivers at almost exactly this point. If you want one box that runs a record player, a pair of speakers and a five-channel system without compromise on the first of those, this is the era to shop in.
What the Badge Actually Means
Worth being precise about the surround decoding, because the badge on receivers of this vintage can mislead. Dolby Pro Logic is built in and works from any stereo source. Dolby Digital is not decoded inside the receiver — instead there is a 5.1-channel analogue input feeding five discrete amplifiers, so a DVD player or outboard processor that does its own decoding connects straight in and uses all five channels. JVC’s 3D-Phonic virtual surround is also on board, which throws a convincing soundstage from just the two front speakers when you do not want a full set.
SEA Equaliser
The tone controls are the JVC signature. Rather than a bass and treble pair, there is three-band electronic S.E.A. equalisation with fourteen presets, which gives you far more room to fit the sound to a room than a conventional tone stage does. A loudness switch, balance, and a velocity-sensitive rotary volume encoder round out the front panel, and there are forty AM and FM station memories behind it.
Connections
Connection is generous: two sets of main speaker terminals for an A and B pair, a line-level subwoofer output, composite video switching, and JVC’s COMPU LINK system for one-touch operation across matching JVC components.
Remote
A universal remote is included with this receiver. It covers the everyday controls but does not reach the on-screen menu system — the menu is fully operable from the front panel, so nothing is out of reach.
Condition
Tested here and working properly. Cosmetically this example is graded Very Good — it presents well, with only the standard signs of use.

Technics SL-220 Turntable – Made in Japan, Technics EPC-U25 Cartridge
Belt drive with a frequency-generator servo motor, a 304mm die-cast aluminium platter, and a static-balanced S-type arm with auto-return — 0.045% wow and flutter, six percent pitch either side of centre. The Technics EPC-U25 cartridge takes styli from conical up to Shibata, so there is a cheap path to more later. We sold this one, serviced it, and took it back in trade; condition Good.
JVC TD-W709 Dual Cassette Deck – Auto-Reverse, Dolby B/C, HX Pro

JVC SX-PW33 Slim Tower Subwoofer — 6.5in, 100W, High-Pass Out
A tall, narrow bass column meant to stand beside a cabinet rather than in front of it — 8.25 inches across the front and unusually deep at 17, which is the trade: the depth buys back the internal volume the narrow baffle gives away, so a 6.5 inch woofer is properly loaded in a strip of floor barely wider than a hardcover book. Driven by an integrated 100 watt amplifier, with speaker-level inputs and high-pass outputs so it works with an amplifier that has no subwoofer output at all. Good condition.
