Pioneer
Solid State AM/FM Stereo Receiver model SX-1000TW
Some Unique
Features
FM front-end
employing a field effect transistor to hear more stations more clearly.
By the use
of FET in the FM radio frequency amplifier stage, design of nearly perfect FM
front-end was achieved-free from cross modulation, free from drift, with better
sensitivity, lower inherent noise, and high spurious rejection ratio.
Integrated
circuit (IC) employed in FM tuner assures outstanding capture ratio with high
reliability.
In the FM
intermediate frequency amplifier stage, integrated circuits are employed,
resulting in an entirely different outstanding performance from that of IF
stages hitherto designed, especially in the limiter characteristic and the
capture ratio.
Multiplex
circuitry (PMX) for maximum channel separation.
The accurate
electronic switching circuitry is employed in the FM multiplex demodulator,
insuring maximum separation with excellent tonal quality.
Unique
muting circuitry permits the easiest tuning control.
The muting
circuit provided in the FM tuner completely eliminates the FM inter-station
noise which has hitherto been annoying the user in tuning.
High
performance single ended push-pull (SEPP) output stage eliminates audio
transformers and provides large output with true frequency fidelity.
The power
amplifier employs the high-performance single ended push-pull circuitry in the
output stage and the push-pull complementary circuitry in the driver stage,
completely eliminating the distortion inherent transformers from the audio
stage. Tripple diffused mesa transistors are adopted as the power transistors
in the output stage for full-fidelity frequency response with large audio
output power and least harmonic distortion.
Full
complement of inputs and outputs.
The inputs
and outputs provided in the receiver include two pairs of Phono Mag inputs.
When two turntables are connected to these inputs, the user is able to switch
from one turntanble to the other any time
at will. Also, two pairs of loudspeaker output are included for
switching between, or for permitting the simultaneous use of, two loudspeakers.
Electronic
switch fully protects the precious power transistors.
The
electronic switching circuitry employed in the power supply completely protects
expensive power transistor even when the loudspeaker leads are shorted while
the receiver unit is in use.
