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/video sources, a turntable, a CD
player, and two TV’s or video monitors.
Your receiver has special sound options. Dolby Pro Logic
®
Surround
Sound delivers movie theater sound for audio/video programs (espe-
cially those encoded with Dolby Surround Sound signals). DSP Effects
creates a listening environment that simulates a concert hall, jazz club,
theater, or a dance hall. Virtual Dolby Surround uses TruSurround tech-
nology to provide a three-dimensional sound field using only the front
left and right speakers. 5-D Theater provides clear dynamic sound effect
by sending audio signals through the rear channel to simulate stereo
sound.
In addition, you can connect a multi-channel decoder 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 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.
