I bought a receiver from a thrift store today for $2.50, so if it doesn't work, it's no biggy.
It's a Panasonic receiver, and the front reads "SC-8700." The back, however, reads "SA-870."
It has knob selections for both "Q'Plex" and "Q'Sonic." Q'Plex was discussed in a thread a few years ago, and I believe that it was decided that Q'Plex was similar to the Hafler effect. I am guessing that Q'Sonic is supposed to be a QS decoder.
One of the unique things about this receiver is that it seems to be designed for bi-amped speakers. There are four RCA speaker connections, but each connection has two RCA jacks labeled "low" and "high." Am I interpreting this correctly?
It has four inputs labeled "playback" and four outputs labeled "rec out." It also has four other inputs labeled "aux." I tried playing a CD of QS test tones through the aux inputs with the selector set to "Q'Sonic," but it did not decode and only sent an output through two of the four "rec out" channels." I tried playing a QS record through the phono input, and this *did* give me an output on all four "rec out" channels," but the front and rear channels seemed to be duplicates of each other.
Does anyone have a user's manual for this receiver? I would love it if you could PM me and answer some of my questions about this receiver.
