Power Plus.

The Scott 8336 Receiver.

Power is important. But power alone is not enough. That's why the popular Scott R336 gives you all the power you need. Plus the performance features you expect.

The Scott R336 provides 42 watts minimum continuous RMS power output per channel. More than enough for most listeners. And both channels are driven into 8 ohms from 20 Hz to 20 kHz with no more than 0.3% total harmonic distortion.

Power? Sure. But check these important performance features many other receivers in this medium price range have sacrificed:

IM distortion (lower than 0.15%). Far below the average. Provides cleaner sound and eliminates listening fatigue.

Signal strength and center channel tuning meters. Provide simultaneous visual indication of correct tuning and optimum signal strength.

Phase locked loop multiplex section. Maintains superior stereo separation. Remains in alignment for the life of the receiver.

FET RF stage. Assures higher sensitivity and overload immunity.

Log-linear taper volume control with detents. Spreads out volume levels. Provides finer control at low-to-moderate levels.

Clutched bass and treble controls with detents. Allow altering the frequency response of one channel without affecting the other. Systems can be "custom balanced" to compensate for room acoustics, decor or speaker placement.

Separate high-frequency noise filter. Permits cleaning up of noisy tapes, discs or broadcasts.

Three position FM de-emphasis switch. Permits proper reception of domestic, Dolbyized or European broadcasts.

Two completely independent tape monitors. Allow two tape recorders to be used simultaneously for direct tape-to-tape copying without passing through the receiver's electronics.

FM Muting. Silences interstation hiss while the tuner scans the frequency spectrum.

Prettified LC notch filters in the multiplex. Reduce interference to a minimum.

Signal strength meter circuit. Employs two point sampling for wider dynamic range.

Over 120 db IF gain. Assures better limiting and better AM rejection.

Instantaneous electronic protection circuit in the output stage. Employs voltage/current sensing to prevent output transistor failure and speaker damage.

AM section designed around a tuned RF amplifier using J-FET. Improves signal-to-noise ratio.

And the Scott R336 is backed by a three-year, parts and labor limited warranty. Another very important plus.
