Look at the tiny bunny...
It's well documented on The Vintage Knob that in the 80's there were only a couple of actually different CD players that just got rebadeged, but was there a digital tuner circuit sold like this as well? I ask because I have seen what appears to be the same tuner on at least 6 pieces of equipment (And there may be more). These being a JVC receiver, a couple of AKAI receivers, a couple of NEC receivers, a few MCSes, and Onkyo, and a Mitsubishi tuner. I own the JVC receiver, and used to have one of the Akais, and they both would not wrap around and start over if you tuned to the beginning or end of the bands. The also all have:
8 preset buttons 1/9 - 8/16.
Preset scan.
auto-stereo / manual-mono
memory button for station presetting.
preset select bank
So, coincidence, or is it in fact a single design that was licensed out?
I have seen a couple variants with the auto manual and stereo mono functions separate, and one with IF bandwidth.
