Photos and specs Mini stereo system JVC CA-DXT9

Favourite lineup, DXT9 is not only family AU (five satellites and two passive subwoofer), but also a decent power amplifier, which is alluded to mass of the central block (over 11 kg) and it consumes power (335 W). It has a grain elevator construction five-discs changer and two tape decks, one above the other, which makes it similar to a computer system. Surround speakers are made by the original technology Omni Top - two tweeters, one emits up to a special cone splitter. This provides a broad pattern that is beneficial when watching movies.

On the credit system - the ability to play discs DVD-Audio, including multichannel version. Set audioregulirovok please any: in addition to the seven preset equalizer (including three user) - DSP-six modes and four-tuning bass. In the 99 memory cells can enter the data about all loaded in the disc changer, whether CD-Audio, CD-MP3 or DVD.

On the front panel keys a bit, most of them are available on the remote control, with a sliding lid. For some functions, such as programming tracks, you need to be guided by OSD-indication displayed on the TV. When working with mixed drives on the menu to choose playback environment (music or pictures).

Pair of passive subs sound rather complements the front pair. And if you listen to music tracks that's enough, the movie noticeable shortage of deep bass. Involve the same low-pass amplifier Extended Super Bass wrong with caution, otherwise the bass begin to chant. Nevertheless, the system can be called universal. Though she has not lost to DivX, but with other formats, including DVD-Audio, no problem. Good transmitted spatial effects, for that special thank undirected rear speakers.

The remote control is capable of controlling 13 TV brands. Switch to TV - a lever on the right side wall.

The best performance, as might be expected, the front pair - irregularity in the range of 100-20,000 Hz less than 4 dB (figure close to the average for the test). Was unexpectedly high directivity sound from the center speaker, but this is not essential. More importantly, the "omni" rear creates audiopole uniform over a wide area. Subwoofer extends almost reproducible frequency - fall begins at 100 Hz, as in the "fronts". Videopath characteristics - good.
