PAGE 17 - SEC. 1 - SUPPLEMENT TO McHENRY PLAINDEALER - NOV. 25,1975 How to shop for a stereo instrument If you are planning to purchase a stereo set for your home or as a gift, Zenith Radio Corporation has some suggestions to serve as a guide. Choose a dealer that stocks brand names and models, has good displays, and will allow comparison between different types of sets. But even before you shop, perhaps you might ask yourself a few ques­ tions to help determine what type of system is best for individual needs. In which room of your home do you plan to use the stereo unit? Where do you plan to put the speak­ ers if you purchase a mod­ ular unit? How much fur­ niture do you have? Do you need a system to play records as well as receive AM/FM/Stereo FM broadcasts? Do you want the unit to play 8-track cartridge tapes? Do you want to record and play back your own 8-track cartridge tapes -- cassette tapes? Modular systems usually come in three pieces: a main unit and two separa- rate speaker enclosures. These systems are more flexible in decorating than consoles. They are not tied to one furniture style and can fit easily into large or small rooms ac­ cording to the owner's needs. A console stereo unit contributes a furniture piece to the room it occu­ pies. Furniture styles avail­ able include: Contempo­ rary or Modern, Early American, Mediterranean, Spanish, Country French and Country English. Modulars and consoles may be purchased with a minimum number of audio instruments. For example, in a modular start with an AM FM/Stereo FM receiv­ er and phonograph, and later an 8-track player or player/recorder, cassette tape deck, or even extra speakers for "surround sound" capabilities may be added. zoOM, new arrival to Yule scene All-new and a fun gift for Christmas this year is color television with a re­ mote control that intro­ duces a ZOOM feature. Just pressing a button on a special hand control that'comes with the TV set provides the viewer with an instant close-up. The center two-thirds of the picture is enlarged, cover­ ing the entire screen. As a result of special circuitry developed by Ze­ nith, the ZOOM picture is as bright and colorful to the eye as the original. Five other buttons on the hand unit turn the set on and off, change pre­ set channels higher or lower, adjust sound to four different levels, and mute sound. Each operation is silent. *.v \ v.w Christmas Should Start At... Genevieve 9s Looks that uphold a "fresh fashion image ••• season after season. Soft gentle classics for todays^s new woman.
