TO BUILD A BETTER RECEIVER, WE LEFT OUT A FEW UNNECESSARY PARTS.
What you see here is a sophistication in high fidelity design that's never been achieved in a stereo receiver.
The new Toshiba SA 850.
Look for conventional tuning devices, like a tuning knob, or an FM/AM band, or signal strength and center tuning meters.
You won't find any.
The reason is Toshiba's unique digital-synthesized tuning.
The most advanced and precise system of tuning available today.
Toshiba was the first to develop digital synthesizer circuits in a receiver, and now we've utilized them again.
Choose either automatic or manual tuning.
Consider ordinary tuning systems obsolete. The Toshiba SA 850 allows you to tune automatically or manually with the ease of push button selection.
You get LED digital read-out.
And 5 LED signal strength indicators.
In the automatic FM mode, the tuner will scan until it stops at the next listenable station. Also, 6 FM and 6 AM stations can be pre-set for instant recall tuning at the touch of a memory button. The quartz digital synthesizer locks into each station's assigned frequency with absolutely no possibility of drift. You get FM synthesizer accuracy of 0.0025%! FM stereo S/N ratio is 68 dB. FM selectivity is a high 80 dB. Frequency response is 20 to 15,000 Hz,+0.2-0.8 dB.
If power is what you want, then power is what you'll get, Full complementary direct coupled power amplifiers provide 50 watts rms per channel into 8 ohms from 20-20,000 Hz. And with a THD of only 0.03%. A figure that receivers many times more powerful can't match.
This is achieved by low distortion differential amplifier technology and a triple secondary power trans former with twin 10,000 µF capacitors that virtually eliminate noise and hum.
Precisely what you look for in a preamp section.
We give you provisions for attaching two tape decks. And full monitoring controls, plus duplication switching between the decks.
Our special subsonic filter switch eliminates rumble and other low frequency noise.
A great-looking body and price.
Behind our sleek, slide-away cover is a full range of controls, including tone / defeat switch and a dual speaker selector.
The entire unit has a clean, sophisticated look. So you can indulge your eyes as well as your ears.
But we've saved the best part for last. This digital-synthesized receiver actually costs only $519.95*, less than you'd pay for a digital-synthesized tuner alone.
Now, that's the part we thought you'd like us to leave in.
TOSHIBA---Again, the first.
