Just Google Optimus STAV-3350. One of the first items listed will be access to Radio Shacks documentation for the system.

If you still need this manual, I am think I still have mine.

Buy a universal remote, program it manually and try the Yamaha codes first.

Optimus was sold only by Radio Shack. It would be a special order. Get the catalog # from the rear of the receiver (31-XXXX)

Owner's Manual is PN 3834RH0020U
On pg13
1. Press TUNER/BAND to select AM or FM
(Leftmost rectangular button on left of volume knob)
2. Select station by using TUNING +/-
3. Press PROGRAM/MEMO on the remote
A preset number will appear.
4. Press PRESET +/- (or PRESET ^/v on remote) to
select the preset number you want.
5. Press PROGRAM/MEMO again. The statio is stored.
6. Repeat above for more stations.

Believe you can store up to 30 stations.
Stations on presets 1, 2 and 3 take longer to 'kick in' when listening to the radio
as they are the 'tens' prefix for the preset numbers. 4 - 9 'kick in' immediately.

The optimus receivers are made by Radio Shack go to their page to get some information to repair it.Good luck.

Quoting from page 6 of the manual:

"Select the radio band and tune in a desired radio station you wish to store in the preset memory.
Press and hold, for at least 2 seconds, any one of the preset buttons (1 through 6) that you want to store the station on. The selected station is stored. The display shows the band, preset number and station frequency memorized. A total of 18 stations can be stored in the preset memory (6 stations for each band; FM1, FM2 and AM). If you store a station in a preset memory which already has a station, the current station will be cleared and replaced with the new station."
