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.
