MINTY! TESTED! Vintage JVC R-X40 Digital Synthesizer AM/FM Stereo Receiver.

Description: EXCELLENT CONDITION, NEAR MINT!!! MINTY! TESTED! Vintage JVC R-X40 Digital Synthesizer AM/FM Stereo Receiver, 6ft. RCA Ethereal Cables. Hinged AM Ferrite-Rod Antenna.The JVC Model R-X40 AM/FM stereo receiver is rated at 40 watts per channel output into 8-ohm loads between 20 and 20,000 Hz with no more than 0.008 per cent total harmonic distortion. Its power amplifier employs the JVC “Super-A" circuit, which dynamically varies the operating bias of the output transistors to eliminate the crossover distortion sometimes associated with class-AB or class-B amplifier operation. The Super-A circuit combines the efficiency of a class-AB circuit with the extremely low distortion of class A.The preamplifier section of the R-X40 features the five-band graphic equalizer (in lieu of conventional tone controls) that has long been a hallmark of JVC receivers. This “S.E.A." (Sound Effects Amplifier) control system provides individual adjustments of ±12 dB in bands centered at 63, 250, 1,000, 4,000, and 16,000 Hz. The lightly detente vertical slider controls have strongly detente center positions. A front-panel pushbutton connects the S.E.A. equalizer circuits into the tape-recording outputs for recording an equalized signal.The receiver is tuned by a quartz-controlled frequency synthesizer in 0.1-MHz steps for FM and 10-kHz steps for AM. Pushbuttons cause the tuning to scan upward or downward in frequency. There are two tuning modes: automatic and manual.The automatic setting with the mode/scan button out provides automatic switching between stereo and mono FM reception. In this mode the tuner scans in the selected direction (with the audio output muted) until a signal of sufficient strength is encountered; then it stops and unmutes. When the tuning mode/scan button is pressed in (for manual tuning) the receiver operates only in mono. Each touch of a tuning button steps the receiver through one frequency increment; holding the button in causes it to scan rapidly until it is released. The inter-station-noise muting is disabled in this mode. The same tuning modes are available in AM reception (though without stereo, of course). An interesting feature of the JVC tuning system is the audible “beep” that accompanies each frequency step. When a station is acquired (in automatic) there is a longer beep, followed by a short one when the receiver unmutes.The R-X40 has six tuning-memory buttons (presets), each usable for one FM and one AM channel. A frequency is put into memory by tuning the receiver to that frequency, pressing the memory button located between the tuning buttons, and then pressing one of the channel-memory buttons (each of which has a red light that shows when it has been selected). When turned on, the receiver returns to the station last tuned in.Pushbuttons are used for input selection (am, FM, PHONO, VIDEO/AUX, and TAPE), as well as for activation of either or both of the two pairs of speaker outputs, loudness compensation, and power. Horizontal sliders are used for the volume and balance controls. A display window in the center of the panel shows the tuner frequency (with large blue-white numerals) and the presence of a stereo-pilot carrier in a received FM signal. In the left half of the display window are light groups for signal strength and output power, as well as a red tape monitor light.On the rear apron of the JVC R-X40, in addition to the input and output phono jacks, AM and FM antenna binding posts, and a hinged AM ferrite-rod antenna, there are two sets of speaker-output binding posts, two unswitched a.c. outlets, and a slide switch that changes the AM channel spacing from the 10 kHz used in this country to the 9 kHz used in other parts of the world. A headphone output jack is behind a small plastic door on the front panel.The JVC R-X40 is 17-1/8 inches wide, 14-1/2 inches deep, and 4-5/8 inches high. Its entire exterior is silver colored. The receiver weighs 14-1/2 pounds.
