Plenty
of
Clean
Power
TX-890:
125
watts
of
continuous
power
per
channel
into
8
ohms
with
no
more
than
0.02%
total
harmonic
distortion
(FTC).
(2
x
380
watts
dynamic
power
at
2
ohms.)
TX-870:
105
watts
of
continuous
power
per
channe!
into
8
ohms
with
no
more
than
0.025%
total

(FTC).
(2

These
tuner
amplifiers
are
designed
to
consistently
deliver
their
full
rated
power
even
into
ow
impedance
loads.
®
Discrete
Output
Stage
Instead
of
IC
power
amplifier
circuitry,
the
TX-890
and
TX-870
both
employ
a
discrete
output
stage
for
effortless
drive
into
low
impedance
loads.
Low
distortion
linear
switching
and
the
high
quality
parts
used
throughout
are
further
proof
of
Onkyo’s
dedication
to
audio
ex-
cellence
not
only
in
our
high
end
amps
but
across
the
board.
@
“CD
Direct”
Switch
This
switch
fets
you
bypass
the
tone
and
balance
controls
when
listening
to
CD
players
(or
other
audio
sources).
Since
noise
levels
in
digital
audio
components
are
extremely
low,
tone
and
balance
circuitry
or
excessive
switches
are
often
unnecessary
and
may
even
adversely
affect
the
sound.
®
APR
(Automatic
Precision
Reception)
System
Onkyo’s
exclusive
APR
system
lets
every
FM
broadcast
sound
its
best.
A
microelectronic
brain
monitors
the
broadcast
signal
and
selects
the
optimum
settings
for
four
reception
modes:
stereo/mono,
hi-blend
on/off,
local/DX
and
noise
reduction
on/off.
The
APR
system
settings
are
shown
by
indicators
on
the
front
panel.
