Akai AA-R22/L Receiver question

Vinyl Asylum

Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

I have a 1983 Akai AA-R22/L with an original instruction manual that gives some strange specifications to me. I realize some spec sheets are questionable and misleading. This gives its rated power output of 30 watts per channel minimum RMS at 8 ohms from 20 to 20,000 HZ with no more than 0.05% THD. As you scroll down it gives the frequency response for AUX/TAPE as 5 HZ to 80 kHz-3dB. As for PHONO it gives only 30Hz to 15,000 kHZ-+0.5 dB(RIAA)! This seems like a huge disparity to me. What gives? Did Akai just cheapen its PHONO section? Or are many amps and receivers just less honest in giving their specs?
