This is an unusual unit. Don't worry, I won't suddenly realize that I have a Zapco DAII and a PG preamp on hand, and change my mind :
Rosen A9 in Cool Gray - pics and specs
The onboard DVD drive uses a made in Japan Sanyo transport and loader. The factory modified this unit so that it has an optical Toslink digital out (for DVD audio only - not for any analog aux inputs). For this reason the IR headphones are inoperative and there are none included.
The remote for this unit will deploy the 9" 16:9 screen. It is NOT an HD-level screen, I think it is 480 lines vertical. The screen has a dampled deployment mechanism. If you are doing some custom install, you could wire the solenoid which releases the screen to some sort of switch or button. It is not a motorized deployment so it does not close itself, just open.
The A9 won awards for industrial design, and is probably the best-looking overhead system ever made.
If anyone is interested I will post pics. Since it is an unusual unit, I won't go to the trouble of doing so unless there is demand.
$400 shipped continental US.
