STA-82  44-Watt AM/FM Stereo Receiver with Quatravox
(310-2056)                 Connections                Faxback Doc. # 33310

BEFORE MAKING CONNECTIONS:

1.  Do not plug in the receiver's power cord.

2.  Be sure the POWER button is out, ("OFF" position.)

NOTE:  To reduce hum, use shielded audio cables for all connections except
       speakers.

SPEAKERS

The STA-82 has two sets of A (main/front) speaker outputs - use only one
set. If your speakers have phono plug inputs, use the receiver's phono plug
outputs and a set of unshielded speaker cables.  Otherwise use the
receiver's screw terminal outputs, (see Faxback Doc. # 33322).

For maximum bass response, be sure to observe proper phasing.  Connect the
+ Receiver speaker output to the speaker terminal labeled A, 1 or + and the
- output to the speaker terminal labeled B, 2 or -.   Most speaker wire is
marked with a ridge along one conductor or has one color-coded conductor.
If you use preassembled phono plugs, phasing will automatically be correct.

Connect B (remote/rear) speakers following the instructions above.  Be sure
the speakers are phased properly.

NOTES:  1.  The STA-82's outputs are designed for 4-16 Ohm speakers.
            However, when more than one set of speakers are being
            connected, use only 8-16 Ohm systems.  This will prevent the
            amplifier from being overloaded.

        2.  When using the screw terminals be sure no stray strands of wire
            touch a second terminal or the chassis - a harmful short could
            result.

        3.  Connect no more than two sets of speakers to the receiver.

        4.  Use only as much wire as necessary to connect the speakers. Do
            not coil excess wire. The inductance of the coil may filter out
            the high frequencies.

TURNTABLE

Connect the turntable leads to the PHONO MAG inputs. If the turntable has a
ground wire (usually green or black), connect it to the PHONO GND screw.
Plug the turntable's power cord into an AC outlet or the receiver's
UNSWITCHED convenience outlet.  (NOTE:  If the turntable has a ceramic or
crystal cartridge, connect it to the AUX jacks.)

TAPE DECK

For recording, connect the Receiver's TAPE OUT jacks to the recorder's AUX
or Line input. For playback, connect the deck's Line or Output jacks to the
Receiver's TAPE IN jacks.

ANTENNAS

Be sure the linecord FM antenna is connected to the FM ANT 300 Ohm
terminal.  The built-in AM antenna requires no attention.

If you think you need an external antenna, see "HINTS FOR BETTER SOUND",
on Faxback Doc. # 33311.

AUXILIARY

Plug the output from any high level source into the AUX jacks.  This input
is ideal for a second tuner, TV audio, ceramic or crystal phono cartridges,
a tape player, short-wave radio, etc.

BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE STA-82

1.  Double-check all connections - especially the speaker connections - to
    assure that all connections are firm and that there are no shorts.

2.  Set the VOLUME controls to "0" (minimum)

3.  All pushbuttons(including POWER) should be out.
