0 bogon07 Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 The Australian (AsiaPacific) E505 picks up stereo FM.Possibly it may revert to mono if the FM signal is weak. I have an old Technics tuner which does that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 madleet3 Posted February 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 thx for the replybut seem to me its dont display u under stereo or mono eitherbtw anyone knows whats does the local and dX settingfor FM means?i was testing the asia set but dont seems to works or any effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 bogon07 Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 btw anyone knows whats does the local and dX settingfor FM means?i was testing the asia set but dont seems to works or any effectSeems to be concerned with the sensitivity when tuning and selecting FM stations. Buried on page 41 of the manual:If several unnecessary stations are receivedIf interference is prevalent and reception is too strong, press the REPEAT/SOUND button to set to "Local".Under normal conditions, press REPEAT/SOUND button again to set to "DX" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 bogon07 Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 As STUGE says I don't think it is Local=mono or DX=stereo. More like a reduced sensitivity to the signal or a filter to reduce interference. The manual mentions this a few times but without any detailed explanation.

0 Yoni45 Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 As STUGE says I don't think it is Local=mono or DX=stereo. More like a reduced sensitivity to the signal or a filter to reduce interference. The manual mentions this a few times but without any detailed explanation.Actually that may not be that far off. I'm fairly sure that when there is a poor signal or interference, setting the audio to Mono reduces that. On the same note, you'd be losing the Stereo signal, so you'd only want to set it to Local (or Mono) if interference is prevalent... On the other hand, why not just name it Mono vs Stereo? =/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 MZ-1 Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Hello,The NW-E507 is stereo. However, the stereo switching threshold is rather high. I guess Sony has opted for a tradeoff of a clear mono signal vs. a noisy stereo signal. Still, the stereo switching threshold seems rather high.As they say, for best reception extend the listening device cord to the fullest length.I find recepiton in an urban area to be rather good. I suspect outlying areas distant from the transmistter sites may have issues with stereo reception.Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 madleet3 Posted March 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 the manual mentioned?strange my e507 manual never mentioned anything about itdoes the online pdf manual mentioned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 MZ-1 Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 The FM stereo feature is not mentioned in the manual. However, I own the NW-E507 and can verify that FM stereo is present with the NW-E507.Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Stuge Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 does the online pdf manual mentioned?As said by MZ-1 manual doesn`t mention anything regarding this .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 MZ-1 Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Hello,A review of the service manual schematics shows the NW-E507 uses the Philips TEA5767 IC. The IC is for FM stereo. It can easily be seen in the schematic that the IC is used in a stereo fashion. Not a bad radio IC at all. In my experience, Philips makes superior chips for consumer radio.I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the FM radio when I bought the NW-E507.Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
