PHONES Jack - plug in stereo headphones for private listening.
When phones are plugged in, the speakers are
automatically disconnected. We suggest Radio
Shack Catalog Number 33-1038 or 33-195; your Radio
Shack store has a complete selection of Stereo
Headphones.
On the Rear of the Receiver
SPEAKER R and L Jacks - connect speaker cables between these jacks and the
Speakers; connect R jack to the speaker positioned
at the right of your listening position and L jack
to the left speaker.
PHONO R and L Jacks - are to be used when connecting a Record Changer/
Turntable to your Stereo Three system. The Record
Changer/Turntable must have a ceramic cartridge to
function with this system. Connect the Right
output cable to the R jack and Left output to the
L. jack.
TAPE R and L Jacks - are to be used when connecting a Tape Deck to your
Stereo Three system. Connect the Right output
cable to the R jack and Left output to the L jack.
Use a Cassette, 8-track Cartridge or Reel-to-Reel
Tape Deck with these jacks. Your local Radio
Shack store has a complete line of Tape Decks for
use with your system.
FM Antenna screw - are for connecting either the line cord antenna
terminals
(as supplied from the factory) or for connecting
an external antenna for superior FM reception (use
an "FM antenna" or a signal "splitter" in
conjunction with your TV antenna). Check your
Radio Shack store for antennas and antenna ideas.
Line Cord - connect the line cord to a source of 120 volts, 60
Hz AC power (standard AC power outlet).
CONNECTING EQUIPMENT
SPEAKERS - connect speaker cables between the jack on the
back of the speaker cabinets and the jack on the
back of the Receiver (L for the Left speaker and
R for the Right speaker).

FM Antenna - in most metropolitan areas, the line cord
antenna will provide adequate reception. For
superior reception, especially of Stereo
signals, disconnect the line cord antenna and
connect 300 ohm twin lead to these FM screw
terminals from an FM dipole or other FM antenna.
Or, you can obtain a "signal splitter" and use
your present TV antenna. Check with your local
Radio Shack store for help.
Record Changer/Turntable - If you have a Record Changer/Turntable which has
a ceramic cartridge, you can play records though
your system. Connect the cables from your
Record Changer/Turntable to the PHONO jacks and
plug the line cord from the changer into a
source of AC power.
Tape Deck - If you have a Tape Deck (Cassette, Cartridge or
Reel-to-Reel) with an output of approximately
1/2-volt, connect it to the TAPE jacks on the
back of your Receiver. Plug the line cord of
the Tape Deck into a source of AC power.
Plug the line cord of your Stereo Three into
a source of 120 volts, 60 Hz AC power.
NOTE: Never operate your system without the
speakers being connected.
Felt pads are provided to prevent marring of
furniture and mounting surfaces. Remove
paper backing and press into position on the
bottom of the cabinets.
