what does "bx" indicate?

hi,

how is a bx unit different from the same number without that designation, for example, rcd 970, and rcd 970bx?

thanks,

david

I think the "bx" means it's black instead of silver, but I could be wrong.

I can't be the colour, since it was mostly used in the older 8xx and 9xx series. These series were not available in silver, only in black.

Most of the time it is the updated version, ie the RA-840BX3 and RA-840BX4.

I am unsure if BX is an abbrev. for something.

I got this answer from Rotel:

If there was a regular unit and then another with BX then it would have some changes. With the RCD-970BX there was only the BX version. Most of the BX equipment was just printed with BX on the title to match with other product at the time that had it.
