Sony TA-F222ESX Information

[givendale]

Hi all, I have come into the posession of a Sony TA-F222ESX amp. Unfortunately I cannot find much information about the specs other than the usual sites selling service manuals etc. I have seen that it is equivalent to a Sony Ta-F500ES.

I have been running it with a pair of JBL L19's and it sounds great but I would like to know a little more about the operation of the amp.

If there is any one out there who can help it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Givendale,

Hey. I tried to find some info, too, but I didn't get any further than you did. I went to Sony's support site, and they have this page with a link to a technical article related to that unit (look under the "Manuals" section). Odds are that you've already found that, but I thought that I'd give you the link just in case.

I have a TA-F500ES and generally, the specs are excellent but to be honest, I really don't care about specs. Unless something is glaringly bad, they really don't matter at all.

Wide bandwidth, low distortion, great S/N ratio, etc. One thing that I wouldn't have expected is that other than the video inputs, the source switching, volume, balance and tone controls are all passive for audio. I had mine modded so the Ext Adaptor jacks could be used as Pre out/Power amp in and when I inadvertently turned the Sony off before the power amp, I found that the music didn't stop. I tried all of the controls and they worked just like it was on.

Hi guys,

Thanks for your replies. It is cerainly is a nice sounding amp and it gives my Denon AVR 2105 Rotel RB-980BX power amp combo a good run for it's money.

Maybe you are right, I should forget about the specs and just enjoy the music.

Have a great day
