Commentary

This stereo receiver was announced as a top-of-the-line model by thoroughly pursuing performance and acoustic characteristics.

The tuner section is a full-scale design using FET and frequency linear type 4 variable capacitor.
It is also equipped with an FM linear scale wide dial and a tuning meter for easy channel selection.

The IF circuit employs a 5-stage amplification and 4-stage limiter configuration, enabling stable reception even in noisy or low-signal areas.

Tape dubbing and simultaneous recording by 2 devices are possible.

The preamp section and main amplifier section can be used independently.

Equipped with a loudness control, headphone jack, FM local / variable switch, FM muting, FM stereo indicator and FM SCA filter.
