Your Clarinette-96 is a hi-fi quality three-piece compact system.  A
built-in AM/FM stereo tuner, cassette stereo recorder/player plus full
automatic record changer and two matched air-suspension speaker systems
provide excellent full-range sound.  And there's much, much more.

   The amplifier offers versatility normally found only in component
   systems costing much more.  You get bass, treble, volume and balance
   controls, microphone inputs for "live" recordings and a stereo headphone
   jack.

   The FM tuner has an easy-to-read slide-rule dial, a stereo beacon,
   automatic frequency control and external antenna inputs for excellent
   reception even in fringe areas.

   With the built-in cassette recorder/player, you can record directly off
   the-air or from disc records - or play your favorite tapes through your
   system.

   The cassette recording system incorporates an Auto STOP feature which
   automatically stops the tape.

   Full auto-changer, you can play any size of disc record and play up to
   six disc records in sequence.

ON THE REAR

ANTENNAS

Your Clarinette-96 incorporates built-in antennas for both AM and FM
reception.  In most cases, the INTERNAL FM ANTENNA will provide adequate FM 
and FM Stereo reception; however, in areas where the FM signals are weak 
(especially FM stereo), you can disconnect the INTERNAL FM ANTENNA and 
connect an external antenna to the FM ANTENNA terminals.  You can use either 
the 300 Ohm screws (for twin-line lead-in wire) or the 75 Ohm screw and GND 
for coaxial type antenna lead-in wire.  Your Radio Shack store has a 
complete selection of FM antennas and antenna accessories; stop by and talk 
with your salesperson - he or she will be able to give you advice on local
reception conditions.

The built-in AM antenna will provide suitable reception of the AM stations.

OTHER EQUIPMENT

We've made provision for connecting other inputs to your Stereo Compact 
System.

If you want to play another Tuner, Tape Deck/Player, Radio, TV sound, etc., 
through your unit, you can make connections to the AUX INPUT jacks.  Use R 
for Right Channel and L for Left Channel.  AUX function button must be 
pushed in.

To make recordings of signals processed through your Clarinette-96 (Phono, 
AM or FM, or Cassette) you can connect a Tape Recorder to the TAPE OUTPUT 
jacks.
