The TX-950 automatically selects either the
Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) synthesizer tuning for weak signals or FM
voltage servo tuning for signals having little or no interference, and
the signal is sufficiently strong. This ensures maximum reception
quality of all types of broadcast signals.
DIGITAL FINE TUNING
Tuning is more
difficult when station frequencies are close together. Digital tuning
helps overcome this problem by enabling you to tune away from a
station's fundamental frequency in increments of 0.01 MHz for FM and 1.0
kHz for AM. In this way you can pinpoint the exact spot on the dial
where interference with your desired station is least noticeable. This
maximizes the signal-to-noise ratio for optimum stereo reception and
lowest distortion.
ALPHA CIRCUITRY
This Absolute Linear Phase IF Amplifier is a Yamaha
developed circuit that provides excellent selectivity, interference
rejection, phase linearity, and improved channel separation while
maintaing exremely low harmonic distortion.
40 STATION RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY PRESET TUNING
Preset stations can be grouped in five sets of eight,
according to AM and FM, musical genre, or any order you desire.
STATION NAME DISPLAY
The station frequency is displayed whenever a station is tuned in. You
can change the display to show the station call letters for up to 24 of
the preset stations.
ROTARY ENCODER TUNING
WITH TUNING LOCK
This control not only
provides tuning accuracy when locating a station manually, it holds the
station rock-steady once it's tuned in.
24
SEGMENT SIGNAL QUALITY METER
Provides
accurate reading of the signal level of the received station.
6-WAY MULTI-STATUS STATION MEMORY
Whenever a station is programmed into the preset
tuning memory of the TX-950, six different pieces of information are
memorized. In addition to the frequency, IF mode position, RF
attenuator status, auto stereo or mono tuning, antenna selector setting,
and blend setting are also input. This means that whenever a station
is selected with a preset tuning button, it is received with the same
maximum clarity as when it was first tuned it.
2-PROGRAMMABLE ANTENNA INPUTS AND SELECTOR SWITCH
The TX-950 has 2 antenna inputs. This allows you to
use 2 different antenna's oriented in different directions for maximum
reception capability.
2-POSITION IF MODE
SELECTOR
The IF amplifier circuit provides
excellent selectivity, for outstanding interference rejection and
optimum phase linearity. Two modes position (Wide and Narrow) can be
selected depending on signal conditions.
AUTO STEREO, MONO MODE SELECTOR
Allows
automatic reception of all stereo stations. If the signal is too weak,
you can obtain higher signal quality by switching to monaural.
RF ATTENUATOR ON/OFF SWITCH
If the signal you are receiving is too strong,
pressing this switch will reduce RF cross modulation and
intermodulation.
HIGH BLEND SWITCH
When activated, this switch will blend left and
right channels together if the S/N ratio of a stereo signal is less than
50dB.
EXTRA LARGE ANTI-VIBRATION FEET
For resonance and vibration damping.
HIGH GAIN AM LOOP ANTENNA
Allows for maximum reception of AM stations.
