medium-priced stereo AM/FM solid state tuner with advanced circuitry, high sensitivity and outstanding tonal response. A
ln designing the new TX-600 tuner, the objective of Pioneer engineers was to create an uncompromising unit of excellence that could be offered to the music public at a very reasonable price. The performance specifications of this new Pioneer component go a long way to show how this objective was fulfilled. The TX-600 combines FET, lCs and ceramic filters to offer unusually high sensitivity and image ratio, along with improved selectivity and capture ratio. The sound that emanates from the unit is finely balanced, solid stereo sound. And although this Pioneer tuner reflects the very finest of engineering and performance through and through, it is priced surprisingly low so that even the stereo fan operating within a limited budget may f it the TX-600 into his group of components.

Tr6cIcI ADVANCED CIRCUITRY IN FM FRONT-END Nothing has been spared to make the TX-600 one of the finest performing tuners in its price range. Circuitry in the FM tuner section includes an FET to raise sensitivity and image ratio while safeguarding against cross-modulation. Additionally, the lF stage is equipped with lC and ceramic filters which are necessary for improved selectivity and capture ratio. You will find that the TX-600 receives signals with rare sensitivity even in areas where these signals are usually weak. Moreover, since the MPX decoder (the circuit that separates the two channels of FM stereo programs) works on the highly accurate switching system, it provides a very wide frequency response and stability. Then there is also a discriminator amplifier included in the set that assures sharp channel separation at all times. All of these circuitry features are especially vital today in times of increasing numbers of FM stations. EASY TUNING
FM tuning on the TX-600 is accomplished with ease, thanks to the extra-wide linear type dial scale. Even in metropolitan areas where a large number of FM stations may exist, this Pioneer tuner has the knack of separating station signals, affording you
with minimum noise and maximum stereo separation. The TX-600 is also equipped with a large, illuminated dial and dual meters-one a signal strength meter, the other a center zero meter. When you are using AM, the signal strength meter alone is sufficient for precise tuning. precision tuning
AM TUNER SECTION The AM tuner section of the TX-600 is designed for optimum sound quality and reception. lt benefits greatly from the ferriteloopstick antenna, as well as the combination of double tuning IFT and silicon transistors employed throughout for perfect reception. FM MUTTIPATH TERMINAT FOR IDEAL RECEPTION The greatest enemy of clear FM stereo sound is FM multipath interfeiance, which most often occurs when the path of the
signal is deflected by a mountain or high-rise building. This interference, however, can often be reduced by changing the direction of the antenna in the optimum direction. The TX-600 is equipped with an FM multipath terminal to help you discover the ideal antenna position. To do this requires that you connect the Pioneer Stereo Display (Model SD-1000) to the FN1 multipath terminal on the rear panel of the TX-600. ADDITIONAL FEATURES The TX-600 has a number of other important features that add up to maximum sound performance. There are separate AM and FM output level controls, which can be set to compensate for differences in AM and FM signal strengths, so that the master volume control will not require readjustment.when the selector is switched. Also, there is an FM muting switch, that helps to eliminate FM inter-station noise, that irritating"rustling" between stations. Among the usef ul auxiliary circuits provided with the TX-600are an extra pair of tape output jacksthat permit direct tuner-to-tape recording.
