VINTAGE JVC RX-305TN COMPUTER CONTROLLED

AM/FM Stereo Receiver With Phono Input

Serial Number: 166C1757

This vintage 30 year old titanium JVC RX-305TN is a beautiful piece of yesteryear. The unit is very clean and has always been in a non-smoking environment and this baby sounds absolutely superb with reserve power. This classic and very desirable JVC unit is in great operating condition. It is cosmetically outstanding with a few minor nicks/scratches on the unit, but you must look close to see them. The front face is clean and sharp - The front glass is crystal clear, all lights light, and all buttons and knobs have been cleaned.

The unit has been cleaned, serviced, tested, and fully detailed!

Oh, let’s not forget about the fantastic phono section, because it truly is a welcome addition. You won't have to spend the extra money on a separate phono pre-amp, because one is built into the unit. Plug your turntable into the phono input on the rear and you are ready to listen to your vinyl collection.

The unit also comes with a 16 page copy of the instruction manual.

 

DESCRIPTION:

Here is a medium powered and extraordinary FM sensitivity in an advanced circuitry AM/FM stereo receiver with a peak power output of 100 watts and a continuous power output of 50 watts RMS per channel.

But great power is only one important attribute of this new receiver - you also get an FM front end that performs with outstanding stability and sensitivity, thanks to the use of a pair of dual gate MOS FETs in its RF amplifier and mixer, an advanced FM IF section that includes three 2-element ceramic filters and a large scale integrated circuit, plus a multiplex section for FM stereo broadcasts that uses the innovative and advanced phase-locked loop IC for excellent separation characteristics.

The result is a flawless kind of sound that is unmatched in tonal quality by any comparably-priced receiver now on the market, plus the radiant good looks of the JVC design and human engineering.

 

THE POWER AMPLIFIER SECTION:

A major feature of the power amplifier section is the servo operational amplifier system.

The JVC RX-305TN Amp section is a low distortion, high power, stereo integrated amplifier with wide dynamic range. Combining advanced circuits with a new design concept provides no-nonsense musical performance at a pleasing price.

Precision CR tone circuit, a high performance amplifier for wide dynamic range, and simple to use basic features make the popularly priced JVC RX-305TN even more appealing as a worthwhile investment in advanced Hi-Fi electronics.

This distinctive package of plenty includes up-to-the-minute circuitry throughout its handsome construction, and then gives plenty of power to boot: with a peak power output of 100 watts and continuous power output of 50 watts RMS per channel min at 8 ohms, from 20 Hertz to 20,000 Hertz with no more than 0.03% total harmonic distortion, and signal to noise ratio of 70dB.

 

THE TUNER SECTION:

The major feature of the FM tuner section of the JVC RX-305TN is in which it detects ant difference in frequency between IF signal and the reference signal generated by the crystal oscillator. Another important feature of this equipment is the sensor circuit. When tuning the locked circuit is deactivated, permitting the tuned frequency to be freely varied just as in conventional equipment.

The FM MPX Decoder uses the design principle of the 'phase lock loop' applied in the circuit. It has no inductances or capacitances which cause phase shifts and distortions. Any phase dislocation that might occur is automatically detected and compensated by a loop circuit. This results in an unprecedented high degree of stability irrespective of temperature or humidity changes.

Also, the JVC RX-305TN Tuner section amplifier 2-stage front end incorporates a 5-gang variable capacitor and three dual gate MOS FETS. A capacitance controlled double tuned circuit is inserted between the RF amplifier stages. Those features produce impressive characteristics such as sensitivity of 38.3 dBf, an IF response ratio of 85 dB, and a stereo separation of 40 dB.
