Description
Key Features
Tuning is handled by a direct PLL synthesiser system, paired with what Yamaha describes as an absolutely phase-linear IF stage, intended to deliver high selectivity without interference from adjacent stations. The tuner offers 40-station random access preset memory across five preset banks (A–E), with automatic preset tuning to scan and store stations automatically, alongside preset station shifting for reorganising saved stations to taste. RDS functionality adds station name display, programme-type (PTY) seeking, and EON (Enhanced Other Networks) support, letting the tuner automatically switch to relevant traffic or news bulletins from linked stations where supported by local broadcasters.
