There is one tbale with 'main characteritics', which is just that. Maybe I am seeing ghosts and this receiver does not adjust is amplification, but the block diagram (which is exactly the same as for a TSOP) suggests it does. So either get the real datasheet and probably some application notes, or experiment.
