Onkyo TX-7000 receiver

The Onkyo TX-7000 Quartz-Locked AM/FM Stereo Receiver is an outstanding example. Both its power amplifier and FM sections are rich with important new design concepts.

The TX-7000's power amplifier provides two major innovations never before present in a stereo receiver. The first is called Super-Servo and it totally eliminates the sonic "ghost signals" common to DC power amplifiers. As a result, each instrument and voice sounds purer and more individually real regardless of volume level. Perhaps for the first time, you'll experience stereo with true depth, spaciousness, and a remarkably discernable third dimension. The second innovation is Linear-Switching which lets us provide Class A amplifier sound quality with Class B power efficiency. Crossover distortion is significantly reduced. And output power is very highly efficient, 90 watts per channel with no mote than 0,02% T.H.D.

The TX-7000's FM section is also clearly superior, picking up weak stations noiselessly and strong stations without distortion.

A unique Human Touch Sensor automatically controls the Quartz-Locked system for more reliable and convenient operaation, releasing the system instantly when it senses your touch on the tuning knob engaging it again as your fingers leave the knob. Special circuits also monitor both channels detecting and cencelling out sound distorting FM signal noise. Other circuits cancel out appliance noise. Digital FM readout, separate bass, mid and treble controls, 2-way tape dubbing facilities, and dozens of other important features are all found in the TX-7000. and the TX-7000 is just one of four new receivers from Onkyo Hear "the secret of Onkyo" hear receivers so advanced, they transcend mere technology.
