Denon TU-600 Reference AM/FM Tuner Made in Japan 1989 Wood Panel VERY Rare / buyer add 22.00 shipping. Denon has applied the philosophy of "the simplest is the best" in the design of its new TU-600 AM/FM tuner. This approach is immediately apparent from the front panel, where most of the controls (all pushbuttons) form a single row for preset station and band selection. The ten preset buttons can be switched to store and recall a second group of ten station frequencies, giving the TU-600 a total of twenty memories. Each memory can be assigned to either an AM or an FM station, and pressing a button switches the tuner to the appropriate band as well as the specific station frequency. Small lights above the buttons identify the selected preset. Like most current tuners, the TU-600 has digital-synthesis tuning, with the station frequency and band visible in a display window. Next to the frequency readout, a group of led's indicate stereo reception, IF bandwidth, relative signal strength (in ten segments), and the status of the auto-tuning mode. In its automatic mode, the tuner mutes the output and searches for the next receivable signal up or down, depending on which of the tuning buttons is pressed, switching automatically between mono and stereo. Disabling the auto tuning switches the tuner to mono reception, disables the muting circuit, and changes the frequency by a single increment (200 kHz for FM, and 10 kHz for am) for each touch on the tuning button. Holding a tuning button in produces a rapid scan in the selected direction. Wide or narrow if bandwidth is also selected by a button on the front panel. In spite of the TU-600's compact size, simple appearance, and modest price, its specifications suggest that it is far from being a "basic" tuner. Although all its specs are good or better, those for harmonic distortion (0.03 and 0.04 percent for mono and stereo, respectively) and signal-to-noise ratio (92 and 86 dB for mono and stereo) are quite literally "state of the art," simply unheard of in a tuner at the TU-600's $350 list price. The Denon TU-600 measures 18-1/4 inches wide (including the plastic-covered wood-grain end plates), 11 inches deep, and only 2-3/4 inches high. It weighs just over 8 pounds.
