JVC R-S5

FM/AM Stereo Receiver

Features:

27 watts RMS per channel into 8 ohms, or 35 watts RMS per channel into 4 ohms

Total Harmonic Distortion is 0,03%

Low-Noise Phono Equalizer with amazing 90 dB S/N

PLL Multiplex Demodulator in IC for Wide FM Separation

Exceptionally high FM S/N by Newly-Developed IC

JVC's Triple Power Protection

Low-Noise Phono Equaliser with amazing 90 dB S/N.

High-calibre specifications result from the sophisticated circuitry, the OCL (Output-Capacitor-less) type power amplifier, and the use of high grade transistors throughout. The result is a discrete phono equaliser giving a very high 90 dB Signal-to-Noise ratio.

Extra Rugged Power Transistor for More

The power amp of the R-S5 is a sophisticated, fully complementary OCL type, with as many as twelve transistors in each channel. The power transistors themselves are extra rugged to provide true performance over a wide range of output. This means more musical margin.

Full Safety is Assured with JVC's Triple Power Protection

This safeguards your system by providing three important functions:

Power On/Off; shock noise never reaches speakers;

Speakers are electronically disconnected in the event that an abnormal DC voltage appears at the terminals; speaker damage is entirely avoided;

Power transistors are protected in the event of shorts, lower speaker impedance or other power-related mishaps.

Tuner Performance in FM and AM is Clean.

The IF amps and a quadrature detector in the R-S5 are in IC form. Distortion is only 0,15% or less (mono), the Signal-to-Noise ratio is an outstanding 82 dB, and the frequency response is 30 to 15,000 Hz.
