Yamaha TX-497 Tuner

The TX-497B Natural Sound AM/FM Stereo Tuner delivers the high performance, superior sound reproduction and quality features you would expect from Yamaha.

The TX-497B Natural Sound AM/FM Stereo Tuner is the perfect partner to the AX Series amplifiers. It features Direct Phase-Locked Loop Intermediate Frequency (PLL IF) Count Synthesiser Tuning, 40-Station AM/FM Random Access Preset Tuning and Multi-Status Station Memory.

The TX-497B’s high-quality tuning capabilities derive from its Direct PLL IF Count Synthesiser Tuning system, which combines direct PLL tuning with a microprocessor-controlled IF count process to lock precisely onto the broadcast frequency for a smooth and clear performance. Absolute Linear Phase IF Amplifier also maximises interference rejection, phase linearity and stereo separation, to deliver superior performance.

Other user-friendly features of the TX-497B include an Auto FM Station Memory, which automatically presets the 40 strongest FM stations on the dial. A Preset Editing function lets you arrange AM and FM stations into desired groupings. The Multi-Status Station Memory feature allows the tuner to save each station’s optimum memory parameter setting, which will automatically come up when chosen. An Auto Search Tuning function is also provided for quick and easy station selection.
