TX-492

Direct PLL -- Phase Locked Loop -- tuning LSI circuitry combined with a microprocessor controlled IF count synthesizer tuning system precisely locks onto the broadcast frequency for super-accurate tuning.

This Absolute Linear Phase IF Amplifier is a Yamaha-developed circuit that provides excellent selectivity, interference rejection, phase linearity, and improved channel separation, while maintaining extremely low harmonic distortion. By using ALPHA circuitry, the TX-492 provides better selectivity than other models in this price range.

The tuner will automatically store in memory presets the 40 radio stations with strongest frequencies.

Preset Editing allows you to change the presets as you wish an organize them in five groups of eight stations. These groupings make it easy for family members to easily access their favorite stations or to have musical genres, such as all the jazz stations, grouped together.

The tuner automatically "memorizes" your settings for AM or FM band, stereo or mono mode, as well as the station's frequency.

Yamaha's unique signal quality meter provides visual indication of multipath as well as signal strength.

Permits automatic reception of all stereo signals, or, if the signal is too weak, manual selection of mono for better signal quality.

Reduce resonance and vibration effects.

Allows for maximum reception of AM stations.
