CHOOSING OTHER SYSTEM COMPONENTS Use the information in this section to help you create a complete audio/ video system. Your local Radio Shack store has a wide selection of audio/ video components to suit almost every application and budget. See "Connecting Audio Sources", on Faxback Doc. # 32769, for instructions for connecting components to the receiver. SPEAKERS Your stereo system can sound only as good as your speakers allow, so choose the best speakers possible. For the best performance from your system, select from Radio Shack's fine line of Optimus speakers. The more economical Minimus speakers provide superb performance as auxiliary speakers or as main speakers when used in smaller rooms. If you consistently listen to music at a high volume level, we recommend speakers with a higher power rating. NOTE: Your speakers must have an impedance of 8 to 16 Ohms. TURNTABLES Use a turntable with a magnetic cartridge. For better sound and less wear on your records, we recommend a cartridge with an elliptical stylus. CD PLAYERS CD players are free from audible noise and distortion, and provide a dynamic range close to that of a live performance. With proper handling, compact discs last indefinitely. Features such as search, program, and repeat play make it easy to listen to your favorite tunes. Many CD players give you the added convenience of remote operation. TAPE DECKS Today's high-performance tape decks have special tape bias settings and noise-reduction circuitry. Some decks also offer advanced recording and dubbing capabilities. TVs/VCRs If your TV has audio output jacks, you can connect your TV or VCR to your receiver. You can then enjoy rich, powerful sound through your system's speakers when you watch TV programs and video cassettes. For best audio performance, we recommend a VHS Hi-Fi VCR. HEADPHONES A good pair of stereo headphones is a valuable addition to a home stereo system. They provide convenient private listening and an enhanced stereo effect. Your receiver's front panel PHONES jack accepts any low-impedance stereo headphones with a 1/4-inch plug. Before buying your headphones, wear them long enough to be sure they are comfortable.
