What is stereo?




There are now two system of high fidelity, monophonic (monaural) and stereophonic. Monophonic is a system that starts from one microphone and is fed through a single high fidelity set. Stereophonic is a double system. Two separate microphones are placed at different sides of the orchestra and two different systems are used to keep the two signals or channels separated. Two separate speakers are used, placed on different sides of you room. Stereo is much like 3-D photography, two slightly different sound reach your ears giving you a new dimension in sound.

Pioneer SX-770 receiver


 Luxurious new Look - Superb Performance All Silicon Transistorized AM/FM Multiplex

Ideal for home listening. The SX-770 has power to space, very clean sound, smart and versatility in operation. Inside, the circuitry of the new SX-770 has an array of features to ensure truly satisfying high fidelity. There are a top-quality monolithic integrated circuit in the FM multiplex section, silicon transistors in the AM section, a quasi-complementary single ended push-pull circuit for superb damping throughout the entire range and many more refinements usually found only in much more expensive units. The versatility, the advanced circuitry, the large power and the refined design make the SX-770 the perfect choice for the center of your home stereo system.

 

Features:

Low-Noise FET in FM Section

Coupled with the use of a low-noise FET, the FM section is designed for a high sensitivity to obtain a sufficient Signal-to-Noise Ratio

Excellent Selectivity

The IF amplifier stage uses a combination of a low-noise silicon transistor and a monolithic IC to attain an excellent selectivity characteristic.

Monolithic IC for MPX section

The MPX section is an IC for a stable, wide frequency band and a sharp channel separation. A sufficient measure is taken against SCA beat.

Highly Sensitive AM tuner

Due to the silicon transistor and ferrite antenna, the AM tuner has a high and stable sensitivity.

Microphone terminal for a versatility of use

Input terminals include a magnetic-cartridge record player terminal and a microphone terminal. Output terminals include a center channel terminal and a preamplifier terminal. Thus model SX-770 can be used in various ways

Well Damped, Clear Sound

The output stage is a quasi-complementary SEPP circuit using silicon transistors. Model SX-770 reproduces well-damped, clear stereo sound over a wide frequency range from bass to treble

Variety of accessory circuits

Accessory circuits include an FM AFC circuit, muting circuit, high-cut filter, tape monitor, loudness contour switch, etc.

Novel Appearance

In addition to the black panel, the numeral indication is embossed on the dial plate according to the selected position. Also, the dial pointer glows.
