  • Notes

  • Here's the AR-1429 — a stereo receiver with specs that mean true PROFESSIONAL performance! With the low distortion figure of 0.1%, the sound is so pure and
    clean, you won't believe it costs so little.
    A true complementary symmetry power amplifier provides minimum distortion
    even at high power levels. An improved FM-PLL stereo demodulator provides excellent stereo reception. Ceramic filters are used for distinct station selection.
    Signal-strength and center-channel meters make tuning easy and accurate.
    The AR-1429 has many features of higher-priced units. Two high-level imputs, a
    magnetic phono input and pre-amp out/power-amp in jacks for audio accessories.
    A tape monitor lets you make professional style recordings. And for private listening, there's a convenient front panel stereo headphone jack. Accepts optional
    AD-1504 Dolby FM Module (see below). Metal case with solid walnut end panels
    makes the AR-1429 a beautiful addition to any decor.
