Introducing the Optimus STAV-3370
Your Optimus STAV-3370 Digital Synthesized A/V Surround Receiver is the per-
fect control center for your audio/video system. It combines 110 watts-per-chan-
nel of clean power with modern styling and provides connections for one tape
deck, one audio/video source, one more tape deck or audio/video playback
source, a turntable, a CD player, and a video monitor.
Your receiver also has four special sound options.
Dolby Pro-Logic Surround

encoded with Dolby Surround Sound signals).
