KA-3042
Commentary

A 4-channel demodulator premain amplifier with built-in CD-4 demodulator, SQ decoder and RM circuit.

All stages are directly connected and pure complimentary service circuit is adopted for the power amplifier section, and performances as KA-3004 are obtained. same class

By adding another pre-main amplifier and two rear speakers to the KA 3042, you can enjoy all four channels.
