Is this normal?

I purchased a Pioneer SX-535 2 months ago and loved it. Because of the growing addiction I more recently purchased the SX-737. My question stems from different behaviours from the two receivers. With the SX-535, when switched out of FM mode, the signal and tuning needles becomes inactive. With the SX-737 the needles are active and operating regardless of the mode the receiver is in. So even in Aux mode the signal and tuning needles will change with turning of the tuning dial.

Is this normal?

Also...does anyone know of an online source for dust covers for these receivers. These two receivers have either been meticulously cleaned or have been in a very dust free environment from new.

Yes, their intention was spelled out in the center of the panel, with the "Rec Selector" switch added, as well as having the usual function selector switch.

You could, for example, record am or fm while listening to phono. When it is all said and done, the other capabilities could be covered by the tape monitor loops. So simultaneous tuner and phono operation is the hallmark of this (short lived) feature.

Turned out to be not such a big feature, so later series models didn't include it.

The 535 was a lower capable model, so it wasn't included in that series. Neither was the 636. But the 737 and 838 did. The 939 and the 1010 didn't.


As for dust covers, I'm not aware of any, plus that's not a good idea during operation, as it would trap damaging heat.
 
Makes sense

Thanks for the reply...that makes sense now that you point that out.

Not to worry, not looking for a dust cover for the receiver during operation! As you have pointed out, the heat would be an issue, not to mention the difficulty I might have in turinging up the volume etc! lol.

Just wondering if there were any type of vinyl covers for these receivers to protect from dust when not in use.
 
Dust covers? Probably some hanging in your bathroom. You could put your gear in an enclosed equipment cabinet but heat is an issue. When I did that years ago I included a cooling fan switched with the receiver and only operated with the doors open.
