Remote Control

Most of the front panel controls are duplicated on the remote control.  See
"Using the Remote Control", on Faxback Doc. # 19451, for an explanation of
additional remote control functions.

CONTROL LOCATIONS

All controls and indictors are clearly labeled and displayed on the
receiver's front panel.  For a detailed explanation of each control, see
"Operation" on Faxback Doc. # 19451 and "Additional Features" on Faxback
Doc. # 32767.

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.
