Introducing the Optimus STAV-3790

Your Optimus STAV-3790 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/video sources, an additional tape deck or audio source, a CD player, and a video monitor.

Your receiver also has special sound options. Dolby Digital produces the digitally-processed true lifelike sound in every channel including sub- woofer. Dolby Pro Logic® Surround Sound delivers movie theater sound for audio/video programs (especially those encoded with Dolby Sur- round Sound signals). DSP Effects creates a listening environment that simulates a concert hall, jazz club, theater, or a dance hall.

In addition, you can connect a multi-channel decoder or DVD player with 5.1-channel output so that all five channels and 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.

Midnight Listening Mode Lets you enjoy the quality surround sound even at low volumes without disturbing others.

Optical Digital Output Lets you directly output the digital source signals to a digital recording device, such as MD, DAT, or CD-R.

Automatic Tuning Searches for the next available 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 off the receiver to help avoid power surges or short circuit damage.

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 requires 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.
