To celebrate their 25th anniversary UHER introduced the HiFi-miniset in 1978. Most of the times the promotional materials only showed the CR 240 cassette deck, EG 740 digital tuner and the VG 840 pre-amplifier. As you can see this system cannot be used as a home Hi-Fi system without the additional power amplifier, the Z 140. In addition of delivering 65 W/ch (Sinus DIN 4 ohm) power for the loudspeakers (such as the UHER W140 2-way loudspeaker) the Z140 also acted as power supply for the EG 740, VG 840 and CR 240. In case you decided to use active loudspeakers for the HiFi-miniset (CR240, EG740, VG840) you needed the Z141 external power supply. The extremely compact CR 240 cassette deck measuring only 23.5x5.9x18.5 cm could be also used as a battery powered (6 batteries, the Z215 or Z 217 rechargeable battery) portable recorder. The CR 240 can be mains powered too with the help of the Z 131 power source that slides into the battery compartiment. For home use the UHER Z105 MINI INFORM dedicated rack was sold as an accesory.
