echoing

i should of known beter than to ask!  is it just for recording ? then james

fault is the echo switch?   anybody know exactly  what its for cheers.

it's only for playback... NOBODY record's this effect into their music do they!!!?

Not major bands I have ever heard...

The Echo switch is like .... Think of a Echo between the left and the right speakers and vice-versa or in other words ( Stereo-wide or Ambience ) or similar acoustic renderings and this is a fixed amount via this switch - a sound that actually requires more power to reproduce to Hear and the same level's that you were playing your source in Stereo to begin with.

I dont like this Un-natural sound that this produces as this tends to Broaden the Stereo effect to allow the little stereo box to supposedly sound larger.?

Answer me this:?  At the last outside concert you went to did they play their music in stereo OR EVEN At a Inside concert was the SOUND OR Music you heard ( in stereo&nbsp at the LIVE PERFormance ... No? didnt think so ...

Yes the speakers may have been on both sides of the stage but it was the EXACT Same sound coming out of both side's of them....

There-Fore the JVC RC-550 RULES the outside Blasting !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bet you cannot Hear the stereo effect from the other End or side of the Playing field or accross the road from your Boombox

Once again JVC RC-550 RULES the outside Blasting

point taken last concert for me was led zep in 2007  

Hey James!

Just FYI , Pink Floyd did both their "Momentary Lapse Of Reason" (1987)and the "Division Bell" (1994)concerts not only in stereo..but in quadrophonic sound...and yes both were outside! AWESOME concerts!!!

Congrats on the 777 deliverance....echo or no echo, you won't be disappointed with that box.

Cheers

^^  cheers mate just hope arse hole force dont play football with it,  but it should be safe in original box, all the way from the vale of glamorgan

nice score deliverance,ive yet to get a big hitter like a 777,seems theres plenty about at the minute,after xmas think i will go for one myself.

your right bison seems to be a few up for grabs at the moment some z models as well .

"Z" model's - sheesh - SHARP GF-777Z versus GF-777

how many time's gotta say this - having a z on the back is the

VERY Same thing as having no z on the front...

i think i have hurd that the Z model is supposed to have less power,which would be probebly a good idea really because the speakers cant take full volume anyway..but they are still a nice box..

as for the echo,i remember taking mine apart to fix the rew / ff problem,and next to the decks is a long box with a spring in it,i think thats the echo thing..also james,i think where your echo is on your 777,the same knob on my 999 is pitch control for tape speed..

i thought it was the otherway round

any road up - they sound good

look awful - designed by commitee

good work overpriced - only worth getting for under 300 quid (under 180 if you're me) OVER 400 if you're on the payroll

there must still be boxes of this caliber out there in the wild,ive seen a few for sale that needed attention and the odd one or two that were obviously cherished in somebodys collection.

so they are still out there.

yeah they r still out there for sure
