Introducing the Optimus STAV-3780

Your Optimus STAV-3780 Audio/Video Receiver operates as the perfect
control center for your audio/video system. It combines 100 watts-per-
channel of clean power with modern styling. It provides connections for
one tape deck, one VCR, two audio / vid eo sou r ces, a turntable, a CD
player, and two TV’s or video monitors .
Your receiver has special sou nd options. Dolby Pro Logic® Surround
Sound delivers mo vi e theater sound f or audio/video programs (esp e -
cially those encoded with Dolby Surrou nd So und signals). DSP Effects
creates a listening environment that simulates a concert hall, jazz club,
theater, or a dance hall. Virtual Dol by Surround uses TruSurround tech-
nology to provide a three-dimensional sound field using only the fr ont
left and right speakers. 5-D Theater provides clear dynamic sound effect
by sending audio signals through the rear channel to simu late stereo
sound.
In addition, you can connect a multi-channel de coder or DVD player
with 5.1-channel output so that all five channels and the subwoofer
have independent signals.
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.
Automatic Tuning Searche s fo r the next availabl e AM /FM station.
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 o ff the re ceiver to help avoid power surges or short
circuit d amage.
Remote Control Lets you use a single remote control for the receiver and other compati-
ble components connected to the receiver.
Note: The remote control requ ires two AA batteries (not supplied).
We recommend you record the receiver’s serial number here. The number is on the re-
ceiver’s back panel.
