STA-100 Receiver (310-2089) Features Faxback Doc. # 16417 The STA-100 represents one of best values available today in a high-quality receiver. Its power and versatility make it an outstanding buy. 22 watts of clean "honest" power will drive almost any speaker system - even two sets of speakers. The Fm front-end section utilizes a "Field Effect Transistor". This means that your tuner has extra-high sensitivity combined with exceptionally low noise, plug unusual immunity to distortion caused by electrical interference at these high frequencies and minute signal levels. Maybe that's a little too "technical" for you - but it's all solid up-to-the-minute engineering technology. The FM/AM IF section employs a newly developed Linear IC which assures minimum noise and low distortion, combined with high sensitivity. The FM multiplex section employs a newly developed Phase Lock Loop IC (PLL IC) which assures stable stereo separation even if internal temperatures rise or drop. Muting Switch eliminates interstation hiss of FM. Main Amplifier uses a true complementary OCL (Output Capacitorless) circuit configuration for plenty of power and stability. Two overload protection circuits assure complete protection from over-driving, thermal and speaker problems (shorting or otherwise). A factor-mounted walnut grained vinyl veneer case - and you don't pay a penny extra. (ALL-08/10/95)
