Low Distortion Power Amplifier
The power amplifier employs a first-stage differential
amplifier with current mirror load and all-stage direct-
coupled pure complementary OCL circuit. As a result, it

This is a power amplifier that packs an ample power
punch. The tone control circuits are configured as CR-type
tone controls and are inserted in the NFB circuit of the
power amplifier. They vary the frequency response of the
power amplifier's NFB circuit and contribute to reducing
noise.
Phono Equalizer Amplifier for Faithful Sound
Reproduction of Records
The low-noise transistors and low noise elements com-
bine to produce a signal-to-noise ratio (PHONO) of 76dB
(lHF-A). As a result, the RIAA deviation, which has a great
bearing on the sound quality, is improved to t0.3dB(over
30 to15,000H2), and the phono overload level is 140mV
( 1kHz,T . H . D. 0. 1% ) wit h res p e c t t o a 2 . 5 mV ra t in g . Th i s
is, then, a design which has plenty to spare and which per-
mits the almost distortion-free play of records on your
turntable for the best in high-fidelity.
FM Tuner for Accurate and Stable Reception
The front end employs a 3-gang variable capacitor and J-
FET in order to yield a high level of sensitivity and effec-
tive interference rejection. Featured in the intermediate fre-
quency stage is two ceramic filters with an outstanding
group delay response and a quadrature detector. This con-
figuration helps provide an excellent selectivity and distor-
tion. The MPX section employs an lC-based phase-locked
loop circuit for separation which is always amazingly clear,
and it is not affected by variations in the ambient condi-
tions in any way.
Fluorescent Display Tubes for Power Meter
Featured for the power meter is a fluorescent display
tube using the latest digital technology, a logarithmic com-
pression circuit and a peak hold circuit. This combination
allows a power output level display from 0.01 watts up to
40 watts without range selection on a bar graph display.
Full Complement of Accessory Functions
r FU NC TI ON, S P E A KE R S in di cat ors:
You can find out exactly where the function selector
and the speaker switch are set since the corresponding
indicators light up, telling you at a glance the program
source.
o Two TAPE MONITOR switches:
These switches facilitate tape operation when you have
connected two tape decks and you are playing back
tapes or duplicating (dubbing).
o Tw o S PE A K ER S te rmin al s:
You can connect two sets of speaker systems. This
means that you can listen to the program on one set in
another room.
o LOUDNESS switch:
This gives the reproduced sound a richer tone even under
low-volume listening conditions.
o AM STEREO OUTPUT jacks:
Connect your stereo adaptor to this jack when listening
to this jack when listening to AM stereo broadcasts.
