THE HIGH SENSITIVE TUNER SECTION

By far the most important section for tonal quality and for
receiving FM reception with clarity, the tuner section of
the SX-6000 is marked by quality engineering and compo-
nents through and through. Its sensitivity is high, distortion
is minimal. The advanced front-end employs low-noise FET
and a 4-gang variable capacitor. Sensitivity Is rated at an
excellent 1.8,er. Image rejection is superb, more than
8SdB, and even very weak station signals on fringe FM
areas are picked up with ease and with minimal distortion
and noise.

THE IF AMPLIFIER SECTION
Four monolithic lCs are employed in the SX-6000 for
improved selectivity and limiter .characteristics These
integrated circuits are also responsible for the excellent
capture ratio of the receiver-rated at 1.5dBeand the fact
that perfectly sensitive tuning is possible without noise or
station jamming.

FM MULTIPLEX SECTION

Used in the multiplex section of the SX-6000 are silicon
transistors, for low-noise and long-life, and a timeswitching
type demodulator with speciallyiselected IC. This combi-
nation of components permits an excellent FM stereo
separation of 40 dB and wide frequency range.

DUAL TUNING INDICATORS
For improved FM reception, the SX-6000 has a pair of tun-
ing indicators: one for precise station centering, the other
for maximum signal strength. The combination of the two
is ideal for achieving perfect reception, and minimum noise
and distortion. The tuning indicators also are significant
in helping to achieve maximum channel separation and
tone quality.

TM MUTING SWITCH

For eliminating distorting and irritating interestation noise,
the SX-6000 employs an FM muting circuit.

FERRITE-BAR ANTENNA
AM reception of the SXréOOO is excellent, thanks to sensitive
ferrite-bar antenna.

HEAD AMPLIFIER SECTION

The wide dynamic range and sound clarity of this section
is made possible by a direct»coupled 3-stage E~E feedback
circuit along with low-noise silicon transistors.
