Ishiyoshi Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 That is one funky remote. How's the SQ like on this unit? Thanks for sharing your pictorial! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrazyIvan Posted September 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 I really like the sound of this unit. Bass can be overpowering on some headphones but with the bass turned off and eggo D11's sounds really good. The remote took a little getting used to but the jog dial is exactly like the R900's for navigating between tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bland10000 Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 The remote looks like a com-link; maybe to contact the Death Star. Is it a three or six step bass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrazyIvan Posted September 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 Bland, it's niether. Just 1 step, either on or off. Kind of like the bass boost button on older CDP units.Sector: The remote is EL backlit. The remote has a clip, so, if positioned just right, I would look like some sort of space cadet.

Syrius Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 I have it, though it hasn't seen any use in months. The bass boost in this unit features some smart adjustment system which boosts the bass according to the volume of the track played, so you don't get deafening bass if you crank the sound up. The remote lights up in a lovely blue shade, similar to the Indi-glo watches. One of the first and best units JVC pumped out. Rock on. \m/ \m/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is still a little overpowering with some of my music. Maybe it is just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny mac Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Looks nice, but a strange one. The remote was the first thing that struck me but that was followed by the weird eject mechanism and it looks like it takes both a NiMH gumstick AND an AA internally. Not a battery configuration I've ever seen before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a battery configuration I've ever seen before.That's what really made this unit attractive to me. It's a little offbeat. The eject button is actually the rectangle with the word "eject". You just push it to eject. The neat thisg is the manual eject lock. You turn the knob about a quarter turn clockwise to lock it. It keeps you from accidentally ejecting the disc.Yes, both an AA and gumstick can be used internally. I'll have to check the instructions, but I think you cannot have both in at the same time. That gumstick is the original and it is dead unfortunately. Not a big loss since I have several extras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrius Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Ivan, you can use both batteries at the same time. And yes, it can be overpowering with some music. However, it won't make Etymotics rock since they need an equalizer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
