Pioneer A-636
Short description[edit]
The A-636 was an integrated amplifier of the large Pioneer series of the late 80s and early 90s, i.e. models A-6xx to A-8xx. Its audio technology was based on the A-656 MK II, additionally the A-636 had a video section with S-Video and composite connections, analogous to the A-717V and A-838. Unfortunately in Germany it can hardly ever be found used.
