Product Description
The traditional integrated mini-system delivers convenience? unfortunately, at the expense of versatility and performance. On the other hand, full-size hi-fi components provide versatility and performance, at the expense of convenience. The solution to their conundrum - the award-winning TEAC Reference 500 Series, a complete line of hi-fidelity mini-components. Finally, solution that truly delivers the best of both worlds - the virtues of the finest hi-fi components with the convenience of full system integration.
Amazon.com Product Description
Ideal for audiophiles who like to build their systems piece by piece, the Teac T-H500 offers precise, high-end AM/FM tuning so you can enjoy your favorite programs static-free. The tuner hails from Teac's Reference line, a collection of components designed with thinner profiles than traditional stereo devices. This particular tuner measures 11.5 inches across (most components measure in the 17-inch range), making it a perfect option for listeners with narrow entertainment cabinets or shelves. In addition, the T-H500 is equipped with a host of valuable features beyond its convenient size, such as a PLL (phase-locked loop) synthesized tuning system and 60 memory presets (30 AM and 30 FM) to cover the entire radio dial in all but the busiest markets. The tuner also boasts a multifunction fluorescent display that shows the station info clearly, along with daily, sleep, and remote timer functions. And should the power go down, the tuner's preset memory backup keeps all the information current so you don't have to reprogram it later.

Technical specs include a 20 Hz to 15 kHz frequency response and a total harmonic distortion of 0.3 percent when listening to FM radio and 1.5 percent for AM. The device, which measures 11.5 by 4 by 12.25 inches (W x H x D) total, also carries a three-year warranty on parts and labor.
