SUPERTUNER
Unprecedented is the only word to describe Supertuner-
Pioneer's latest car stereo tuner which is designed under an
entirely new concept. lt features such advanced features as
automatic monGstereo switching combined with a function to
virtually eliminate multiplex noise. Now you can really keep
your eye on the road while your ear is on the music. An unusual-
ly high sensitivity of 1.lp V means, compared to ordinary car
stereo tuners, you can be twice as far from your favorite station
and still catch your favorite program-with less noise, more
clarity and greater stability. Muting and special distant switches
further enhance this capability.
PRE.SET TUNING
Just press a pre-set button, and the program of your choice
will be automatically tuned. No need to touch the tuning knob
whiledriving. Two bands-FM and AM-can be selected.
