HOW A COMMON LABORATORY SUBJECT PROVES THE CLEAR SUPERIORITY OF A SONY
Once again, in the interest of science and for the betterment of mankind, the services of Mus albus rodendus, or the white mouse, have been called upon. This time to demonstrate the sheer brilliance of the new Sony STR-VX5 receiver.
When the little chap so much as touches the VX5's "Memory Scan," you'll automatically hear four seconds of up to eight of your favorite or FM station without having tune them in separately.
If he chooses our exclusive "Auto Sweep," you'll hear a four-second sample of every available station on the dial. Find a touch you like and another ontoe that s touch control instantly locks that frequency. There's no drift. No fade. A computer insures crisp, clear, perfect sound.
But that's merely proof that the VX5 possesses the world's most advanced tuning section. Here's proof that it possesses the world's most advanced amplifier section.
Statistically, the VX5 puts out 55 watts per channel with no more than 0.007% total harmonic distortion.* Even your dog can't hear that.
Part of the reason is Sony's unique "Legato Linear" amplifier. This circuitry prevents "switching distortion" from ever intruding on your music. Another part is an incredibly advanced, Sony-developed "Pulse Power" supply. Its transformer alone is but 1/50 the size of conventional transformers and is as quiet as a church mouse.
Of course, there are other outstanding features, from a subsonic filter to moving coil-cartridge capability. And it's all at a price that won't require you to get a second mortgage to purchase it.
The Sony VX5. We used a mouse to prove its genius. But all you really need are a good pair of ears.
