Commentary

This is an FM/AM stereo receiver developed by SONY as an introductory stereo.

It is equipped with many functions such as a balance control knob, a loudness switch that allows you to hear with a rich sense of presence even when the volume is reduced, a mode switch that allows you to switch between stereo and mono, a microphone input, and a monitor switch.

The tuner uses an FET for the FM front end and a solid state filter for the IF stage.

It is equipped with a "Music plus You" function that allows you to listen to your songs and performances through the speaker with the sound of a record or tape superimposed on it using a microphone or FM radio microphone.
