Commentary

This top-of-the-line receiver was developed using the technology of Trio.

All silicon transistor configuration is used for the amplifier section.

The イコイラザーアンプ section uses a direct-coupled three stage amplifier circuit with an emitter-follower output stage.

Equipped with a pure electronic automatic return power transistor protection circuit.

The FM front-end of the tuner section uses RF2-stage amplification with 4-series variable capacitor and three carefully selected low-noise FETs to improve crosstalk problems such as cross modulation and image ratio.
In addition, four ICs are used in the intermediate frequency amplifier stage to provide sufficient IF gain and high sensitivity. In addition, the limiter works from the time of Tsutomu Oire to enable reception with less distortion.

Uses a Luminous dial that turns on when the switch is turned on.
It is also equipped with a muting switch that cuts out inter-station noise during channel selection.

Antenna terminals of 300 Ω and 75 Ω are mounted.

Pre-out and main in terminals are mounted.
It also has a 5P recording and playback connector terminal and a tape monitor switch.
