CHOOSING OTHER SYSTEM COMPONENTS
Use the information in this section to help you
create a complete audio/video system. Your
local Radio Shack store has a wide selection of
audio/video components to suit almost every

TAPE DECKS
Today's high-performance tape decks are
equipped with special tape bias settings and
noise-reduction circuitry. Some decks also offer
advanced recording and dubbing capabilities.
For the best performance from your receiver,
use Radio Shack’s Mach Two or Optimus
speakers. The more economical Minimus
speakers provide superb performance as
auxiliary speakers or as main speakers when
used in smaller rooms.
If you consistently listen to music at a high
volume level, we recommend speakers with a
higher power rating.
Note: Your speakers must have an impedance
of 8 to 16 ohms.
TURNTABLES
Use a turntable with a magnetic cartridge. For
better sound and less wear on your records, we
recommend a cartridge with an elliptical stylus.
CD PLAYERS
CD players are free from audible noise and dis¬

If your TV has audio/video output jacks, you can
connect your TV or VCR to your receiver. You
can then enjoy the rich, powerful sound of your
system’s speakers when you watch TV
programs and video cassettes. For best audio
performance, we recommend a VHS Hi-Fi VCR.
HEADPHONES

A good pair of stereo headphones is a valuable
addition to a home stereo system. They provide
convenient private listening and an enhanced
stereo effect. Your receiver’s front panel
PHONES jack accepts any low-impedance
stereo headphones with a VMnch plug. Before
buying your headphones, wear them long
enough to be sure they are comfortable.
