HEAVY (WHY WOULD ANYONE EVER CONSIDER THIS A WEAKNESS IS BEYOND ME)CC CONVERTER, MOTORIZED FRONT PANEL GIVES THIS UNIT A HIGH "WOW" FACTOR ESPECIALLY WITH THE GIRLFRIEND. BUILD QUALITY IS TOP NOTCH AND SILVER FINISH ADDS A UNIQUE TOUCH OF CLASS TO THE UNIT. I WAS INITIALLY CONCERNED WITH THE SILVER COLOR FINISH CONSIDERING MY OTHER COMPONENTS ARE ALL FINISHED IN BLACK.

ONLY ONE COAXIAL DIGITAL INPUT

THE JVC RXDP9S (SILVER FINISH) HAS EXCELLENT SOUND REPRODUCTION FOR BOTH MUSIC AND HOME THEATER. OUT OF THE BOX SOUND IS VERY NEUTRAL WITH NO PARTICULAR EMPHASIS ON ANY OF THE MUSICAL SPECTRUMS.THE RXDP9 DOES NOT GET VERY HOT AFTER CONTINIOUS USE UNLIKE THE HARMON KARDON 520 WHICH IS A VERY WORTHY CONTENDER IN AND OF ITSELF EXCEPT FOR THE HEAT BUILDUP. THE JVC RXDP9 IS ALSO THX CERTIFIED QUITE A BONUS FOR THE PRICE I PAID,THIS UNIT ORIGINALLY RETAILS FOR OVER $1000 AND WOULD BE WORTY EVEN AT THE RETAIL PRICE.I PURCHASED MY UNIT FROM ETRONICS.COM (FREE SHIPPING) THIS WAS MY FIRST ONLINE AUDIO PURCHASE AND I MUST SAY THE PROCESS WAS GLITCH FREE.
