JVC JRS-201
Surviving information is thin. One test report in HI-Fi-Stereo-Buyers (January 1979, p.51) covers the JRS-201, listed there as the JR-S201, and it supplies the key details.
It was an AM/FM stereo receiver rated at 35 watts RMS per channel into 8 ohms from 20 to 20,000 Hz, with total harmonic distortion no higher than 0.039%. Its main feature was a set of graphic-type tone equalizers, JVC's SEA system, meant to let the listener tune the sound to the listening room more precisely. The receiver came in a metal cabinet and had a list price of $350.
Beyond that report, almost nothing is documented. No service literature, no other reviews and no production timeline have turned up in the usual archives.
