FEATURES

Your Optimus System 745 Stereo Rack System is a versatile sound sys- tem combining a 100 watt-per-channel amplifier with Dolby Pro Logic Sur- round Sound, precision AM/FM stereo receiver, dual-dubbing cassette deck, 24-disc automatic CD changer, and front, center, and rear speakers.

The 100-watt, three-way front speak- ers combine 10-inch woofers, 4-inch midranges, and 3-inch tweeters to give you excellent response in all fre- quency ranges. The efficient bass- reflex design provides a cleaner sound than acoustic suspension speakers.

The 15-Watt, full range center and surround speakers’ simulated black wood-grain veneer cabinets finish make the speakers attractive, and the cabinet design enhances the bass re- sponse.

The CD changer can hold up to 24 5-inch CDs and organizes them much like a jukebox would, so you can play them easily without having to continually remove and load CDs.

Note: You need two AA batteries (not supplied) to power the remote control.

STEREO TUNER

Digital Synthesized Tuning — elimi- nates tuning drift by locking the tuner on the selected frequency.

Preset Tuning Memories — let you store 24 FM and 12 AM stations for quick tuning.

CD CHANGER

Rotating CD Storage Compartment

provides a virtually dust-free CD compartment with a storage tray that safely protects up to 24 of your CDs, and quickly accesses any CD by rotat- ing the tray in either direction.

Category Playback — lets you as- sign any one of seven preset music categories (or a category or subcate- gory of your own) to each loaded CD, then play only the CDs assigned to a selected category or subcategory.

Fluorescent Scrolling Display — scrolls messages to help you easily operate the CD changer.

Sequence Track Programming — lets you program up to 48 selections (tracks or entire CDs) to play in any order you choose.

Intro Scan — scans and plays the first 10 seconds of each track so you can easily find the one you want.

Random Play — randomly selects and plays all tracks on one CD at a time, or all tracks on all loaded CDs.

Repeat Play — automatically repeats a single track, all tracks on a single CD, all tracks on all loaded CDs, or a programmed sequence.
