ESN, 8V preouts, copper body, motorized tilt face, NOB, mid level sound adjustments

Skipped on occassion. I think it was a bit dirty, but I was too lazy to clean in. Nothing that bothered me. Display, like most, was washed out in the sun when the T-tops were out. No detachable face. The ESN security is good, but it really needs a detachable face to make it the ultimate in security.

One hell of a unit. Great sound quality, nice features, high quality. I was VERY happy with this unit. Unfortunatelly, my car (highly modified, mostly performance, 94 Formula Firebird) was broken into. They yanked the unit, but didn't get my Eclipse amp. At least I know, with ESN, that the unit will be usless to the theives! I really want to buy another one, but I need something w/ a detachable face; I'll probably get a Premier DEH-930R.

I've also owned (higher end wise), a Clarion DRX-7475 and Pioneer DEH-8200R. Both were fine unit, but not quite an Eclipse. Bother were also stolen (the Eclipse replaced the Clarion, and the Pioneer was yanked from my truck). I need to learn to take the face off of my units!

DOES NOT SKIP, plays all discs perfectly, 16V balanced output/8V unbalanced. Display shows in all lighting and if it washes out any just tilt the face. Built-in crossover, copper plated chassis, gold plated RCA's. Excellent ESN theft warranty

Don't care much for the pioneer-like twist modlue on the NOB. I preferred the rocker switch of the previous models.

I am in love with this CD player. I have been purposely jumping RR tracks and speed bumps trying to get this thing to skip...it won't. Also it plays any dic i throw in it...no matter how scratched or messed up. CDs that even my computer won't play this one will. The sound is very clean. I would reccomend this one to anyone looking for high SQ. I could not ask for anything more as far as clarity. I listened to the Alpine 7969, Premier P9, the Sony C90. None of those can beat this 8061. Only unit that might have a chance is the Alpine 7990 (F#1 Status). Due to the $3,000 price tag i couldn't find one to demo. Also available is a sweet $5,000 processor
