Features
® Plenty of Clean Power
TX-866: 80 watts of continuous power per channel into 8 ohms with no more than 0.04% total harmonic distortion. (2 x 185 watts dynamic
power at 2 ohms)
TX-844: 60 watts of continuous power per channe!} into 8 ohms with no more than 0.08% total harmonic distortion. (2 x 155 watts dynamic
power at 2 ohms)
@ Direct Access Tuning
Instead of using the UP or DOWN tuning keys to scan through the available frequencies untill you find your station, Direct Access Tuning
lets you punch in the broadcast frequency directly using the 10 numeric keys.
For example, to select 103.5 MHz you simply press the 1, 0, 3 and 5 keys.
® Classified Memory Preset
The memory presets are divided into six classes, A through F, which you can use for different types of programs (rock, news, classical,
etc.). Or you each member of the family can have a separate class (class A for Dad, class B for Mom, class D for Junior). You can assign
each preset station to one of the classes. The tuner will give you a sample of each station, in turn, in a particular class.
@ Multiple Room Remote System
You may wish to install an optional remote sensor in another room in which you have installed an additional set of speakers. Then you
will be able to operate the TX-866 or TX-844 by remote control while listening in that room, without having to go back to the room in
which the tuner amplifier is located.
You can also install yet another sensor and purchase an optional universal remote control to operate a VCR, videodisc player, TV monitor,
and/or other AV components from other manufacturers; this too is possible from another room.
