Features

Precautions

The

STR-GX80ES

or

STR-GX90ES

is

a

receiver

which

controls

audio

and

video

sources.

The

unit

allows

you

to

switch

easily

among

a

variety

of

audio/video

programs.

Amplifier

e

Optical

Legato

Linear

A

System

allows

the

receiver

to

operate

automatically

as

a

class

A

amplifier

when

the

level

is

low

and

as

a

class

B

amplifier

when

the

level

is

high

without

disturbing

the

sound

signal.

This

minimizes

total

harmonic

distortion

at

every

sound

stage.

e

These

receivers

have

a

spontaneous

twin

drive

power

circuit.

Condensers

having

large

capacity

are

used

independently

for

the

voltage

amplification

drive

stage

of

class

A

and

power

output

stage

of

class

B.

Thus,

a

stable

output

and

high

quality

sound

are

obtained,

resulting

in

exclusion

of

power

interferences.

The

class

A

stage

realizes

a

stable

operation

free

from

interference

of

the

power

stage

even

when

an

instantaneous

or

strong

output

is

received.

eA

source

direct

switch

is

employed

to

reproduce

high

fidelity

sound.

Any

source

can

be

reproduced

without

passing

through

the

circuits

of

tone

control,

loudness

switch

and

balance

control.

e

The

STR-GX90ES

is

equipped

with

a

copper-plate

rear

panel

for

reducing

distortion

in

high

frequencies.

Tuner

«

Precise

tuning

is

obtained

thanks

to

the

quartz-locked

digital

synthesizer

system.

«A

total

of

30

FM/AM

stations

can

be

preset

in

3

memory

pages

(A,

B

and

C)

that

allow

you

to

classify

stations.

Remote

commander

The

programmable

remote

commander

is

also

equipped

with

an

infrared

ray

transmitter/receiver

which

allows

it

to

“read”

and

“store”

control

information

from

other

remote

commanders.

This

includes

the

commander

produced

by

manufacturers

other

than

Sony.

On

safety

e

Operate

the

unit

only

on

120

V

AC,

60

Hz.

e

Should

any

solid

object

or

liquid

fall

into

the

cabinet,

unplug

the

unit

and

have

it

checked

by

qualified

personnel

before

operating

it

any

further.

e

Unplug

the

unit

from

the

wall

outlet

if

it

is

not

to

be

used

for

an

extended

period

of

time.

To

disconnect

the

cord,

pull

it

out

by

grasping

the

plug.

Never

pull

the

cord

itself.

e

One

blade

of

the

plug

is

wider

than

the

other

for

the

purpose

of

safety

and

will

fit

into

the

power

outlet

only

one

way.

If

you

are

unable

to

insert

the

plug

fully

into

the

outlet,

contact

your

dealer.

On

operation

e

Before

making

program

source

connections,

be

sure

to

turn

the

power

switch

off

and

unplug

the

unit.

e

When

the

unit

is

not

used,

turn

the

power

off,

to

conserve

energy

and

to

extend

the

useful

life

of

your

unit.

On

cleaning

the

cabinet

Clean

the

cabinet,

panel

and

controls

with

a

soft

cloth

lightly

moistened

with mild

detergent

solution.

Do

not

use

any

type

of

abrasive

pad,

scouring

powder,

or

solvent

such

as

alcoho!

or

benzine.

For

the

customers

in

the

U.S.A.

For

detailed

safety

precautions,

see

the

“IMPORTANT

SAFEGUARDS"

leaflet.

If

you

have

any

question

or

problem

concerning

your

unit,

please

consult

your

nearest

Sony

dealer.
