Onkyo TX-35

Little is documented about the Onkyo TX-35 outside of period test reports. The record shows an AM/FM stereo receiver that surprised reviewers by beating its modest 45-watt rating. HiFI-Stereo (August 1984, p.23) called it a "sleeper." It was rated at 45 watts per channel into 8 ohms with no more than 0.04% THD from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, but the magazine said its actual measured performance was something else again.

The tuner section had an "Automatic Precision Reception" (APR) system. It switched reception modes automatically - mono/stereo, local/distant input attenuation - to optimize reception. The TX-35 also offered 8 AM and 8 FM station presets, a Delta Power Supply designed for digital-ready use, two tape monitor loops, and A/B speaker switching. High Fidelity (January 1984, p.29) ads of the period pitched it as a value-packed receiver with features aimed squarely at the mid-fi market.

Information on production years, original price, and total sales volume is thin.
