Description
 
The AM/FM stereo tuner in which the 16-game preset function was carried.
While thinking the basic engine performance as important, it is designed on the theme of a quality and the ease of using.

Tuning operation is easy and the digital synthesizer system from which exact alignment accuracy is acquired is adopted.

16 games are covered with use of eight tuning keys and Shift keys.
One-touch random-pre-set tuning which calls direct the office which he wishes out of 16 games which had adopted "4 Way tuning mechanism" as the memory mechanism, and carried out the memory,An electric wave is discovered automatically, it aligns and last channel memory tuning which tunes in automatically く auto tuning, manual tuning which receives the broadcasting station of a weak electric wave, and the office received at the last can be performed.

While setting the PLL comparison frequency for exact tuning as 25kHz outside an audio frequency band, the beat and noise in an audio zone are canceled, such as adopting a static control system display.

The front end part serves as the Bala Cuthah diode of an analog type triple, and a design by J-FET.
Moreover, the ceramics filter of constant amplitude and constant delay characteristic is adopted as IF stage.

When receiving weak FM stereo of an electric wave, MPX-NR which reduces noise automatically is carried.
This function can also be turned on and off.

Two steps of 3 terminal type high selection degree ceramics filters, LC type filter, and the low impedance type loop antenna strong against a fluorescent light noise are used for the AM section.

The memory backup function for about 30 days is carried.
