Carver HR-742

Little is documented about the Carver HR-742 beyond a brief appearance in the period press. The record shows an audio/video receiver with Carver's Sonic Holography circuitry, rated at 80 watts per channel with high-current output, intended for safe use with low-impedance speakers. HiFi/Stereo (December 1991, p.21) listed the tuner section with thirty AM/FM presets. It also had a 75-ohm coaxial input switch for selecting between a TV antenna and cable box, separate preamplifier outputs and main amplifier inputs for adding an external amp, and a sleep timer. The original price was $630.
