MOS-FET Varactor Used in Front End
One
major
reason
for
the
T-488F’s
excellent
sensitivity
and
tuning
precision
is
the
MOS-FET
varactor
used
in
the
front
end,
This
unwillingness
to
compromise
on
quality
gives the
T-488F the sharp,
precise
reception
you
expect
from an
Onkyo
tuner.
Computer Controlled APR (Automatic Precision Reception) system
Onkyo’s
exclusive
APR
system
lets
every
FM
broadcast
sound
its
best.
It
constantly
monitors
the
signal
and
selects
the
optimum
settings
for
four
reception
modes:
auto
stereo/mono,
hi-blend
on/off,
IF
bandwidth
wide/narrow/super
narrow
and
RF
mode
LOCAL/DX.
Front
panel
indicators
show all
APR
settings, which
can
be overridden
manually if desired.
40-Station FM/AM Random Preset Tuning
The
T-488F
can
store
up
to
40
AM
and
FM
stations
in
memory
in
any
combination.
Avid
FM
fans
can
devote
most
or
all
of
the
memory
settings
to
FM
stations.
If there
are
few
FM stations
in
the area,
simply
increase
the proportion of
AM
stations.
Radio Data System (RDS)
The
T-488F
has
been
designed
to
receive
RDS
stations.
Program
service
names
are
displayed
during
manual
or
automatic
tuning.
The best possible signal can be selected by direct tuning to alternative frequencies for a given station.
Classified Memory and Preset Classified Memory Scan
Onkyo’s
classified
memory
feature
allows
you
to
assign
the
up
to
40
stations
in
memory
to
any
of
six
separate
classes.
For
example,
you
could
assign
stations
according
to
type
of
music.
If
you
then
perform
preset
memory
scan
on
class
3,
say,
only
the
stations
assigned
to
that
class
are
scanned.
DYNAS
The
DYNAS
system
has
been
designed
specially
for
areas
with
many
FM
stations.
In
a
narrow
band
suchas
this
the
signal
of
an
adjacent
station
may
interfere
with
a
tuned
station and
produce
undesirable
background
noise.
The
DYNAS
system
significantly
enhances
the
tuner’s
selectivity
and
sensitivity
compared
to
standard
FM
receivers,
thus
reducing
interference.
