FM TUNER MONAURAL-STEREO SWITCH In some locations, the available signal may vary and as a result, even though initially there was suffi cient incoming signal to overcome the back bias on the 6AW8A 19 KC amplifier, with reduced signal there is a possibility that reception will be quite noisy and perhaps even distorted.

Since we are 38 KC SUB CARRIER AMPLIFIER again feeding an L + R audio voltage to the center The 38 KC DC pulses from the doubler are used to point of this transformer, we now add; create the 38 KC carrier for insertion with the two - (L - R) + (L + R) = L - R 38 KC side bands.

During stereo operation when a 19 KC signal arrives in sufficient strength to overcome the back bias on the 6AW8A, the tube will begin to conduct and as a result of its drawing current, the screen voltage will drop to approximately *70 volts. With a 19 KC signal now passing through the plate circuit, there will be *95 volts P-P at the plate and approximately *200 volts P-P will be developed across the primary of...

MUTING CONTROL the line cord is unhanked and stretched out in back of the receiver; do not coil or bunch it up. Also, The 25 K muting control which supplies a back bias try the plug both ways in the power socket for the voltage to the cathode of the 19 KC pilot amplifier position which gives best F reception.
