Five Important Reasons To Own This New Realistic' Digital Synthesized
Receiver.
1. The microprocessor controlled, digital synthesized, quartz
Don't let the technical terms frighten you. Simply put, the tuner is computerized. Incredibly accurate. Very easy to use. Even easier to love. When you tune this new Realistic, soft-touch but tons take you to the exact center of the channel you want. Select the search mode and gain instant access to all 109 AM and 99 FM broadcast frequencies.
Or choose the automatic mode and stop only at stronger stations. Either way, a triple muting system silences tuning noise, and a quartz crystal reference corrects the circuit over 11 mil lion times each second. Two major causes of distortion- drift and tuning error--are eliminated. With the STA 2250 you get a clean, uncluttered front panel featuring a six-step LED signal strength readout and a bright LED frequency display you can easily read from across a room.
2. The programmable 16-station memory.
You can also store eight AM and eight FM stations in the computer memory for instant pushbutton recall. Adding or changing memorized stations is easy, and memory contents are protected for one hour, if AC power fails, or if you need to unplug the receiver.
3. Power and protection.
The STA-2250's audio amplifier delivers a powerful 50 watts per channel, minimum rms into 8 ohms, from 20 20,000 Hz, with no more than 0.02% total harmonic distortion. You get complete protection against overdriving, overheating and speaker wiring shorts.
The sophisticated muting system even protects your speakers and ears from "thumps and "pops" when you select sound sources.
4. The heart of a complete system.
The STA-2250 is a very versatile control center. Use the 40-step volume/ balance control and 11-step bass, treble and midrange controls to adjust the response exactly the way you want it.
You also get A-B-Both speaker switching, inputs and dub/monitor 'or two tape decks, hi and lo filters and more. All enclosed in a walnut veneer not plastic or metal) cabinet.
