Congratulations on joining the thousands of proud, satisfied owners of quality stereo
components from Sansui.

The Sansui EIGHT is the most advanced receiver ever offered by Sansui. The FM tuner
section employs three FETs in the FM front end and three ICs plus crystal filter in the
IF section for maximum FM sensitivity with no cross modulation, no drift, no distortion.
The power amplifier section features direct-coupled circuits that deliver a full 160 watts
(at 8 ohms) in music power output with unprecedentedly good tone quality.

The Sansui EIGHT is lavishly endowed with accessory circuits. These include the triple
tone controls that allow adjustment of every nuance of tonal characteristics throughout
the audio spectrum; a 6-way speaker selector which permits connecting three pairs of
speaker systems. facilities to connect two phonographs and two tape decks; a balance
meter which gives Visual indication to simplify the job of adjusting for optimum balance
of the right and left channel sound volumes; and two meters for FM tuning. Special pro-
visions have also been made to permit the EIGHT to be built up into an electronic cross-
over stereo system and permit comparing such a system with a standard stereo setup.

From the superior performance characteristics to the careful finish of control knobs,
Sansuis tradition of quality is evident. Packed with the most advanced circuits through-
out, the EIGHT comes to you with the full confidence and guarantee of the manufacturer.
It is now up to you to read the contents of this manual carefully before setting out to use
