Introducing the Optimus STAV-3690
Your Optimus STAV-3690 Audio/Video Receiver is the perfect control center for
your audio/video system. It combines 500 watts total Pro Logic‘ Surround
Sound power with five equal-power discrete amplifiers, and provides connec-
tions for one tape deck, one VCR, two more tape decks or audio/video playback
sources, a turntable, a CD player, and a video monitor, plus front panel audio/
video input jacks for connecting one more audio/video device such as a cam-
corder.
Your receiver also has special sound options. Dolby Pro Logic Surround Sound
delivers movie theater sound for audio/video programs (especially those en-
coded with Dolby Surround Sound signals).
Dolby 3CH Logic provides a wider
sound field than ordinary playback. SFC Effects creates a listening environment
that simulates a concert hall, jazz club, recording studio, or a live performance.
5D Theater provides clear dynamic sound effects by sending audio signals
through the rear channel to simulate stereo sounds.
Additional features include:
Digital-Synthesized Tuner Precisely tunes to AM and FM stations.
30 Memory Locations Let you store and recall the frequencies for up to 30 AM/FM stations.
Multi-Jog Tuning Offers you a simple tuning method for either stored stations or the entire fre-
quency range.
Subwoofer Output Lets you easily connect an amplified subwoofer that delivers the very low fre-
quency bass sounds, to bring out the richness and depth of music plus the full
impact of motion-picture special effects, for sound you can actually feel.
Tape Monitoring Lets you listen to the actual recording as you record, if your tape deck has a
tape-monitoring feature.
Built-In Protection Circuits Automatically turn off the receiver to help avoid power surges or short circuit
damage.
Trainable Remote Control Lets you use a single remote control for the receiver and other compatible com-
ponents connected to the receiver.
Note: The remote control requires two AAA batteries (not supplied).
We recommend you record the receiver’s serial number here. The number is on the
receiver’s back panel.
