In addition to Phono input for a quality turntable with magnetic type cartridge, and a CD input, this design includes a total of four input/output loops for Play/Record, two labeled for Tape, two labeled for VCR. Of course, these sets may be used for recorders of all types, including cassette, reel, DAT, MiniDisc, CD, or for signal processors of many types. This kind of versatility in a mid-level price range receiver is rare.

The mode operation of the FM tuning is automatic, but it does have display indicators to show you when it attenuates input signal strength for best performance for a strong Local signal or allows best reception for distant (DX) reception, and it shows when it switches from strong, full-separation stereo mode to a HiBlend mode for a distant/weak signal, maintaining stereo listening with lower noise, not having to go to Mono mode. This is a refined tuner design, important to listeners who rely regularly on FM radion programming.

One more of this model's unique performance features is the Selective Tone Control. While most receivers provide one bass level control, with center frequency of about 100 Hz, a boost in this range to extend the lowest octave of bass below the rolloff of many speakers below 100 Hz ends up in a bump in bass level up to 200 Hz, which may only exacerbate an already-present emphasis in that frequency range. The STC control allows a judicious boost that only assists to extend the boost centered at about 50 Hz, having very little effect in the range above 100 Hz, achieving more natural tonal balance.
