Selectivity FM Front End Excellence is displayed in all characteristics important to high fidelity. Carefully tuned circuitry is employed in the junction type FET high frequency amplifier and between mixer circuits, leading to high selectivity, image rejection, spurious rejection, S/N and other specifications. High Stability FM IF Section A 3 stage differential amplifier, diode limiter, and quadrature detector circuit are employed in the IF amplifier. Combined with highly integrated circuits and two twin element phase linear ceramic filters, the high reliability design assures superior S/N and distortion characteristics, while capture ratio is particularly outstanding. PLL FM Multiplex Section An attention provoking phase locked loop (PLL) circuit is utilized in the 1C stereo demodulator for always optimum stereo reception without regard to ambient temperature and passage of time. Advanced frequency response and separation increase the value of FM stereo as a program source. High Performance AM Tuner Improved selectivity and frequency response are achieved by incorporating 1C and ceramic filter. Interference and distortion problems are virtually absent. The excellent spurious characteristics of the balanced mixer circuit allow stable AM broadcasts to be enjoyed even in strong signal areas. Contemporary Styling Emphasizes Performance The simple, clean panel layout is designed for operational convenience. The TX-5300 can also be combined with a matching stereo amplifier to form an easy to operate high performance stereo system.
