Preparing Your Receiver
Caution: Make all the necessary connections before you plug in or turn on the receiver.
Where you place your speakers (not supplied) can make a noticeable difference
in your system’s sound. The guidelines in this section will help you choose the
best locations. After you use your receiver for a while, you might want to try dif-
ferent locations for your speakers.
Positioning Speakers
a
L
R
Bass response depends largely on speaker location. For strong bass, place the
speakers in the corners of the room. If you want even stronger bass, place the
speakers directly on the floor. If the bass is too strong, move the speakers
slightly away from the corners of the room, or raise them 6 to 18 inches off the
floor. You can buy speaker stands at your local RadioShack store.
Halfway Point
Between Speakers
b
a = b
The distance between the speakers should be about the same as the distance
between the normal listening point and the point halfway between the speakers.
If you place the speakers too close together, you reduce the stereo separation.
If you place them too far apart, you reduce the bass effect and create a “hole” in
the middle of the sound.
Normal ListeningPoint
• Surround speakers generally sound
best if you position them above ear
level.
Most speakers have a tweeter dispersion angle of about 60 degrees. Ideally,
your listening position should be just inside the overlap area of tweeter disper-
sion. You can angle the speakers toward you for better stereo effect.
• To avoid interference with the picture
on a nearby TV, use magnetically
shielded speaker systems. This is par-
ticularly important for the center
speaker since it is usually located
closest to the TV.
To position your speakers for surround sound, place the A or B (front) speakers
at the front of your listening area, and place the surround (rear) speakers behind
or to the sides of the listening point (see “Using Advanced Sound Options” on
Page 21). Also, place the center speaker above, below, or behind the TV.
Sound might not appear to coincide with the picture if you place it beside the TV.

Preparing Your Receiver
Connecting Speakers
Preparing the Speaker Wires
Speaker wire consists of two conductors (individual wires) encased in insulation
and is usually color-coded or marked with a ridge along one side so you can
identify each conductor. Use these markings as a guide to help you properly
connect the speakers to your receiver.
Follow these guidelines when you select
and connect speakers.
• Be sure you properly connect all
speakers.
Follow these steps to prepare the speaker wires.
• Do not connect two pairs of speakers
to a single set of terminals (A or B) at
the same time. When you use two
pairs of speakers, connect one set to
Speakers A and one set to Speakers
B.
Wire Strands
Conductor
• Realistic, Optimus, and other high-
quality speakers have color-coded
speaker terminals (red for positive po-
larity and black for negative polarity).
Use these color-coded terminals as a
guide to help you properly connect the
speakers to the receiver.
Wire Strands
Conductor
1. Cut the speaker wires to the necessary length.
2. Separate the wires about 4 inches on each end.
• Use 16-gauge (or larger) speaker wire
for all speaker connections, and con-
sider possible speaker locations be-
fore you decide how much speaker
wire you need.
3
3. Using a wire stripper, carefully strip about /4 inch of insulation from the
end of each conductor.
4. Twist the end of each exposed wire to secure any loose strands.
Setting the Impedance Selector Switch
Before connecting speakers, check your speaker system’s impedance (see
IMPED-
your speaker system’s specifications). Normally it is 8W. If it is, leave the

Preparing Your Receiver
Connecting Surround-Sound Speakers
You can connect a pair of speakers to the receiver for surround-sound pro-
grams. Follow the steps in “Connecting the A and B Speakers” to connect the
speakers to the REAR SPEAKERS terminals.
Connecting the Center Speaker
The center speaker gives additional ambience to surround sound. Connect the
center speaker to the CENTER SPEAKER terminals. Follow the steps in “Connect-
ing the A and B Speakers.”
Connecting Center Channel and Subwoofer Amplifiers
To increase the center channel’s output power, you can connect an amplifier to
the CENTER PRE OUT jack. Then connect the center channel speaker to the am-
plifier.
Your receiver includes a line-level subwoofer output. Connecting a subwoofer to
your system dramatically extends bass response for incredible richness and
depth. When you listen to surround-sound programs, a subwoofer enhances
your home theater experience by realistically recreating the rumble of an earth-
quake, the bone-jarring percussion of a cannon, and more. To use the subwoof-
er output, simply connect SUBWOOFER PRE OUT to an amplified subwoofer’s line-
level input or to an amplifier to which you have connected a subwoofer.
RadioShack stores sell a variety of suitable subwoofers and amplifiers.

Connecting Video Sources
If you connect two or more video sources, such as VCRs or laser disc players,
to your receiver, you can use the receiver to select each video source. You can
also use the receiver to easily record from the video sources to the source con-
nected to VCR/TAPE 1.
Note: If your VCR is monaural, use a Y-
adapter (available at your local Ra-
dioShack store) to connect the VCR’s
audio output to both the L and R audio in-
puts on the receiver.
Connect phono cables from each video source’s audio outputs to the receiver’s
VCR/TAPE 1 or LD/SAT IN (audio) jacks. Then connect phono cables from the re-
ceiver’s VCR/TAPE 1 OUT (audio) jacks to the source’s audio input jacks.
Connect video cables from each video source’s video outputs to the receiver’s
VCR/TAPE 1 VIDEO IN or LD/SAT VIDEO IN jacks. Then connect video cables from the
receiver’s VCR/TAPE 1 VIDEO OUT jack to the VCR’s video input.
You can connect a third video source to the DVD/TV IN jacks. Connect the
source’s video output to the receiver’s DVD/TV VIDEO IN jack, and the source’s au-
dio outputs to the receiver’s DVD/TV IN (audio) jacks.
The front panel VIDEO L AUDIO R jacks accept another audio/video device. These
jacks are convenient for temporarily connecting another video source to the re-
ceiver, such as a camcorder.
Connecting a Video Monitor
The monitor (or TV with baseband video input) you connect to the VIDEO OUT ter-
minal can monitor any program you connect to the receiver’s VCR/TAPE 1, LD/SAT,
or DVD/TV input jacks. Connect a video cable from the receiver’s VIDEO OUT TO
MONITOR TV jack to the monitor’s video input.

For better FM reception, you can also use a rabbit-ear TV antenna (for indoor
use only). To connect the TV antenna to the receiver, you need a VHF/UHF/FM
splitter (not included). RadioShack stores carry a full line of quality antennas
and antenna connection accessories.
Note: For the best results, use 75-ohm
coaxial cable to connect an outdoor
antenna to the receiver.

Preparing Your Receiver
For the best radio reception, use an outdoor antenna. Follow these steps to
connect an outdoor FM antenna to the receiver using 75Ω coaxial cable.
Warning: To prevent injury, read and fol-
low all cautions and warnings that
accompany the outdoor antenna.
Note: If your antenna has 300Ω twin-lead cable, consult your local RadioShack
store for the correct adapter.
1. Disconnect the supplied FM antenna from the receiver’s FM UNBAL 75Ω
terminal.
2. With a stripping tool, remove about 11/2 inches of the outdoor antenna ca-
ble’s outer insulation to expose the cable’s shielding.
3. Fold back the outer insulation from the inner insulation.
4. Remove about 1 inch of the inner insulation from around the center wire.

Note: Grounding is not necessary for reception, but we recommend it to avoid
damage from lightning when you use an outdoor FM antenna and for better FM
reception. Use a separate piece of thick polyvinyl insulated wire to connect the
terminal to the building’s power grounding electrode system.
Warning: Never connect a wire to a gas pipe for grounding since sparks might
ignite the gas.

The remote control uses two AAA batteries (not included). For the longest bat-
tery life, we recommend alkaline batteries (RadioShack Cat. No. 23-555).
Installing the
Remote Control’s Batteries
1. Press and slide open the battery compartment cover.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the recom-
mended size and type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, dif-
ferent types of batteries (standard,
alkaline, or rechargeable), or re-
chargeable batteries of different ca-
pacities.
• Always remove old or weak batteries.
Batteries can leak chemicals that can
damage electronic circuits.
2. Place two fresh AA batteries in the compartment as indicated by the po-
larity symbols (+ and –) marked in the compartment. Then replace the
battery compartment cover.
Note: If the remote’s range is reduced,
replace the batteries.

Preparing Your Receiver
Using the AC Power Outlet
Your receiver has an AC power outlet that you can use to power another elec-
tronic device, such as a turntable, cassette deck, VCR, or so on. This switched
outlet turns on and off with the receiver and provides a maximum of 100 Watts.
Caution: Do not connect appliances with
high power consumption, such as a
heater, iron, monitor, or TV, to this AC
outlet. Doing so can cause a risk of over-
heating and fire, and could damage the
receiver.

Using Advanced Sound Options
Your receiver has three special sound options: Dolby Pro Logic Surround, SFC
Effects, and 5-D Theater. These special options enhance the sound you hear
from a program source.
Notes:
• To get the full benefit from programs encoded with Dolby Surround
Sound, you need a stereo VCR.
• Dolby Surround does not operate correctly if the signal passes through a
graphic equalizer. If you connected an equalizer to the TAPE 2 MONITOR
jacks, do not select TAPE 2 MONITOR when you listen to Dolby Surround
signals.
To activate Dolby Pro Logic Surround, press DOLBY PRO LOGIC (or PRO LOGIC on
the remote control). For Dolby 3CH Logic, repeatedly press the remote control’s
CENTER MODE button until 3CHLOGICappears on the display. For SFC effects
or 5 D Theater, press SFC MODE or 5-D THEATER until the desired option appears
on the display.
Dolby Pro Logic Surround
Dolby Pro Logic Surround puts you in the middle of the action. The center- and
rear-channel speakers add incredible realism by directing the sound to the ap-
propriate speakers, making you feel like you are really there. You can find hun-
dreds of movies, television shows, and compact discs produced with Dolby
Surround.
Dolby 3CH Logic
Dolby 3CH Logic produces a more spacious sound field than is possible with or-
dinary stereo playback by combining the front and rear speaker sounds. Select
this mode when you play a Dolby Surround Sound program and do not have
rear speakers. The rear channel’s sound is sent to the front left and right speak-
ers.
SFC Effects
You can choose one of four SFC effects—HALL, JAZZ, STUDIO, or ARENA.
Hall Effect simulates a large concert hall, best suited for classical music. Jazz
Effect provides the acoustic effects generally heard in jazz clubs. Studio Effect
gives the effect of listening in a recording studio. Arena Effect is ideal for sourc-
es such as live performances. Try each setting and find the best effect for the
programs you want to listen.
5-D Theater
5-D Theater provides clearer and more dynamic sound effects by outputting au-
dio signals through the rear channel to simulate the stereo sound, compared
with a standard surround system which provides only monaural signals to the
rear speakers. Select 5-D PRO for sources encoded with Dolby Pro Logic, or
select 5-DSURR.for normal stereo sources.
Note: 5-D Theater Surround (5-D SURR.) produces stereo sound from the
front speakers, enhanced with simulated surround sound from the rear speak-
ers. The center channel does not operate.

Using the Remote Control
The remote control works up to a distance of about 23 feet, and within a 30-de-
gree angle on either side of the receiver. Point the control at the receiver’s front
panel and press the desired button(s).
Many buttons on the remote control work the same as buttons on the receiver’s
front panel. Use these buttons exactly as you would use the corresponding but-
tons on the receiver.

The remote control can also control other compatible audio/video components
when you connect them to the receiver’s CONTROL OUT jack. (See “Using One
Remote Control for More than One Unit” on Page 13.) Set AUDIO/VIDEO to AUDIO
to control audio components such as CD players or cassette decks. Set the
switch to VIDEO to control video components such as a VCR.
When you set the switch to VIDEO, dual-function buttons control the function
marked in gold next to the button. For example, the button marked FM/AM and TV

Note: TAPE/VCR POWER does not work with all decks.
If the remote control does not function due to strong static electricity, for exam-
ple, insert a pointed object (such as a straightened paper clip or the tip of a pen)
into the RESET hole on the top of the STAV-3690 remote control, then press and
release it. This resets the remote control.
Resetting the Remote
Control
You can use your STAV-3690’s remote control instead of ones for other audio/
video components. To do this, you must first teach your STAV-3690’s remote
the other device’s remote control commands.
Training the Remote Control
You can program the commands that appear on the remote control buttons. By
changing the position of the AUDIO/VIDEO switch, you can program two com-
mands to a single button.
Notes:
• You do not need to turn on the receiver or the other device.
• You might not be able to teach commands from some remotes.

Using the Remote Control
Follow these steps to train the STAV-3690’s remote control.
1. Place both controls 1–2 inches apart with the windows facing each other.
1–2''
2. Select the AUDIO/VIDEO switch position. Set the switch to the position that
best matches the function—to AUDIO for a CD player or tape deck or to
VIDEO for a VCR or television.
3. Insert a pointed object (such as a straightened paper clip or the tip of a
pen) into the LEARN hole on the STAV-3690’s remote control, then press
and release. The TRANSMIT/ LEARN indicator flashes.
4. Within 1 minute, press the STAV-3690’s remote button you want to train.
The TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator lights steadily.
5. Within 1 minute, hold down the other device’s remote control button that
you want the STAV-3690’s remote to learn. The TRANSMIT/ LEARN indi-
cator flashes.
If TRANSMIT/LEARN flashes twice, the signal might be too weak. Place
the remote controls closer together and try again.
If TRANSMIT/LEARN repeatedly flashes, the remote control’s memory is
full. Programming errors can fill memory. For example, fluorescent light,
direct sunlight, the two remote controls being too far apart, or a low bat-
tery might cause this error. Correct the error and try again.
6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 to teach additional commands.
7. To exit the teaching mode, press LEARN or wait 1 minute.
To clear all learned commands from memory, press RECEIVER POWER, CD POW-
ER, and TAPE/VCR POWER at the same time. The TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flash-
es four times.

Care and Maintenance
Your STAV-3690 Audio/Video Receiver is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help
you care for the receiver so you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the receiver dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids can contain
minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Handle the receiver gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage its circuit
boards and can cause the receiver to work improperly.
Use and store the receiver only in normal temperature environments. Tempera-
ture extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and
distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the receiver away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of
parts.
Wipe the receiver with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not
use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the re-
ceiver.
Use only fresh batteries of the recommended size and type in the remote con-
trol. Always remove old or weak batteries. They can leak chemicals that can de-
stroy electronic circuits.
Modifying or tampering with your receiver’s internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate the receiver’s
warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If the receiver is not operating as it should, take it to your local
RadioShack store for assistance.

The FCC Wants You To Know
Your receiver might cause radio or TV interference even when it is operating
properly. To determine whether your receiver is causing the interference, turn off
your receiver. If the interference goes away, your receiver is causing it. Try to
eliminate the interference by:
• Moving your radio or TV away from the receiver
• Connecting your receiver to an outlet that is on a different electrical circuit
from the radio or TV
• Contacting your local RadioShack store for help
If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop using
your receiver.

HEREIN, RadioShack MAKES NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES,
INCLUDING THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,
ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE DURATION OF THE WRITTEN LIMITED WARRANTIES
CONTAINED HEREIN. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED HEREIN, RadioShack SHALL HAVE NO LIABIL-

accident, misuse, improper or abnormal usage, failure to follow instructions, improper installation or
maintenance, alteration, lightning or other incidence of excess voltage or current; (b) any repairs
other than those provided by a RadioShack Authorized Service Facility; (c) consumables such as
fuses or batteries; (d) cosmetic damage; (e) transportation, shipping or insurance costs; or (f) costs
