Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Technics SA-DX930 receiver features Dolby Digital, DTS, and Dolby Pro Logic decoding. In surround mode, the receiver boasts a muscular 100 watts for each of its five channels. The receiver also offers a knob for input source selection and two knobs for surround sound format.

On the connectivity front, the receiver has three sets of audio-video jacks, a composite monitor input, and a moving-magnet phono input. There are three digital inputs, but no digital output, and the Technics SA-DX930 lacks S-video connections.

Other features include a digital AM/FM tuner with 30 presets, five sound field controls (hall, club, theater, live, simulated surround), bass/treble controls, a white fluorescent display, a front 0.25-inch headphone jack, a well-ventilated chassis, and a small fan to keep things cool. There is also a universal remote control with 10-key track selection buttons.

The receiver comes with a one-year parts and labor warranty.

1.0 out of 5 stars Burnt out, February 8, 2001

Mine lasted for 14 mos. before burning out. I can still get sound out of it, but if I have a cd playing, I can hear it on all inputs (tv, dvd, tuner, etc.). I can't believe Technics made such a poorly engineered product. I had a Technics receiver before this one that had lasted me for 15+ years through moving many times and college abuse, so I felt comfortable going with Technics again. I should've checked around more. Don't buy it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Would be outstanding minus the heat it creates, August 29, 2001

I purchased the 930 based on the recommendation from a magazine. While I agree the sound is excellent, the heat it creates is hot enough to fry an egg on. And yes, after one year of use my 930 did burn out one of the fuses. Thankfully I had purchased 3-year extended warranty on it, so I was able to get it repaired for free.
If it weren't for the heat, I would have given the 930 a five-star rating. The sound is that impressive.
My recommendation: If you purchase this receiver, make sure you get an extended warranty with it. If you don't, you will probably be disappointed.

1.0 out of 5 stars Too Hot, September 4, 2000

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Technics SA-DX930 Audio/Video Receiver (Electronics)

I followed ALL instructions, I even installed two fans one below and one above to keep unit cool. I guess that is why Mine lasted almost 18 months. The thermally controlled fan NEVER went on.

AVOID THIS P.O.S.
