Pee ne a ROIS Nea WT aterm ew we TRS Se | Electronic products promise to be ideal Christmas gifts for everyone: Electronic products ranging from inex- pensive stocking stuffers like slim solar calculators in folding cases to hi-tech video systems promise to be the most: pop- ular gifts under the tree this year. "Consumers will be amazed at the tech- nologically advanced features available in today's electronic equipment," says Dan Infanti of Sharp Electronics Corporation. "Some of the latest electronic products from Sharp, for example, include com- puter-compatible TVs in different cabinet 'colors, VCRs capable of playing fantastic stereo sound, compact microwave ovens, even a calculator that automatically counts calories. There's certainly something for everyone." For all ages Anyone from teens to grandparents will appreciate a gift of the latest video equip- ment, says Infanti. "TV has never looked or sounded better. Many of today's hi-tech models feature stereo sound and computer monitor capabilities as well as flat, square screens and avaht-garde designs in the lat- est fashion colors. "Some are even equipped with sleep timers which can be programmed to turn off the set automatically if the viewer falls asleep in front of the TV," he points out. "VCRs are also popular gifts for Christ- mas, with many Sharp models capable of recording in stereo sound," continues Infanti. "For the music video buff, some VCRs also record in hi-fi." With the boom in home video entertain- ment, portable video cameras and re- corders have also become very popular. "One such ensemble, a |.6-pound video camera and lightweight video cassette re- corder from Sharp, is a perfect gift for the entire family,"' says Infanti. Combines audio, video For the person who has everything, Infanti recommends the ultimate audio-video gift -- a complete home en- tertainment system combining the latest in audio and video equipment. "These dis- tinctively designed systems fit compo- nents together in a harmonious, attractive way. And they don't cost a fortune, ei- ther," he says. 'One Sharp audio-video system, for example, features an AM/FM tuner, speakers, equalizer, turntable, double cas- sette deck and 14-inch TV with computer monitor capabilities and wireless remote control,'" he continues. "All this retails tor under $700." Students on this year's holiday gift lists will be happy to take a sub-compact microwave oven back to school. "Sharp's 'Half-Pint,' for example, is a 13-inch cube that is ideai for dorm rooms,"' says Infanti. "Perfect for cook- ing or reheating single servings, it's also an excellent gift for single people with smail kitchens or anyone with a second home or recreational vehicle." Convenience plus! Other electronic gift ideas for both stu- dents and business people include light- weight, affordable portable electronic typewriters. "In addition to a full range of features, many models can operate on bat- teries so that typing can be done virtually anywhere -- for example, on a plane or in the student lounge," says Infanti. "One such model, Sharp's "Intelliwri- ter,' types silently and features a 70-digit liquid crystal display so that the typist can see and correct what has been typed before it is printed. Students will find that porta- ble electronic typewriters make course- work a breeze." Foldable solar calculators make great, inexpensive stocking stuffers for just about anyone on your gift list. "Everyone from students to business associates and shoppers can use a calculator," says In- fanti. "With such a wide range of users, cal- culators rank among the most versatile electronic gifts around. Many models, such as Sharp's EL-870, with a jewelry- look case, are fashionable and can fit neatly into a pocket or handbag." "TIS THE SEASON TO TAKE PICTURES!
