But, when it cornes to purchasing a home sound system, that is exactly what many peo- ple do, that ls the message from the experts at Whitby Audio Video Ltd. "Few people consider what the Sound quality is going to be like once you get the system home and set it up," says David Iohann Making sure the customer gets the systemn that best suits his needs has always been a prlonity for Johann, who has over 20 years experience in the business. But Johann is extra enthusiastic these days. Whitby Audio Video has recently opened at a new location - 119 Bmock St S., just six doors south of Brock and Dundas, "I'm very excited about taking an old historic building and giving it a touch of elegance." says Johann. "The main floor. we like to say. is an art gailery of hi-fi. Here you wiil see what systems we have available. We have just started renovating the upstairs, where wiil have three sound mooms." These sound rooms will be an important part of Whitby Audio Video because they will provide customers with a reallstic look at what the audio or video systern witl sound like when it is installed at home. "The sound roorns are set up to bc totally life-like and real," says Johanùh. "*You don't need any surprises when you Set an audio system. home. You should know what is going to look and sound like." Johann and Jerry Willsie approach the service they provide hands-on. Botb have over 20 years experience in the industry and both believe the home entertainment systemn should fit the person, flot thie other way arcund. "When you come in looking for a system, we try to find out a few basic things like lifestyle, the make up of the roomn where the systemn will be installed and the budget you have to work with," Johann says. -We believe that the customer should put faith in the person they are buying from, no matter what you are buying. When you make a purchase. you should feel like you are buying into the store. That is what we feel ail merchants should be. " The Whitby Audio Video experi- ence starts the minute you walk through the door. You know that the Many people overestirnate the calories and fat content of choco- late, according to recent confec- tionery industry research. So. with summer around the cor- ner and dieting plans in full swing, let's put this idea to a test. Snack food number one has 313 calories and 14 gramns of fat, which means that 40 percent of its calories come from fat. Number two has 390 calo- ries. 31.5 grams of fat and a per- centage of 72. Meanwhile, snack number three has 280 calories, 8 grams and 26 percent fat. Stili following along? Now, which snack fails within the accept- ed guidelines for a healthy percent- age of calories from fat? Only num- ber three. Snack number one is a half-cup 0f yogurt-covered raisins. Number two is a half-cup of dry-roasted cashews. Number three is a leading chocolate candy bar. lndeed, a 1.5-ounce milk choco- late bar on average contains approximateîy 220 calories. low enough to incorporate into a weight control diet. Consequentîy, many favorite foods such as chocolate should neyer bc considered 'i'orbid- den," notes New York-based regis- tered dietitian, Annette Warpeha. Denying enjoyable foods while dieting can lead to a failed diet plan. Enjoying favorite foods, such as chocolate, in moderate daily amounts, is a more flexible approach that can provide the willpower often needed while on a diet. "A diet planned around a vani- ety of foods certainly makes sense nutritionally as-well as psychologi- catly." says Warpeha. -Confectionery products can play an important role in a bal- anced diet," according to Mark Haley, president of Brown & Haley, one of the largest boxed-chocolate manufacturers in North America. "In fact, recent studies indicate that overweight people actually eat less candy than people of normal weight." HIaley, whose company has been making confections for more than 75 years, says that in response to today's nutritionally conscious consumer, some confec- tionery manufacturers such as Brown & Haley even market prod- ucts made only with ali-natural ingredients. Mk\_ 1 equipment on display is the best there is, Johann and Willsie stake their repu- tations on i. "We wouldn't bring equiprnent in the store that we know would cause us, and our customers, grief," says Johann. **If you walk into a store and there are five units that are the *best' in a -certain price point, you should realize that only one unit can be the 'best' and the rest are just that - the rest."t Johann and Willsie make sure the equipmnent they seil at Whitby Audio Video is the latest available in the industry. Both regularly attend con- sumer electronics shows to help them stay knowledgeable in the latest trends in technology. Whitby Audio Video also offers free consultation in the customer's home to help put together the best sys- .pelrfretly tern possible. The business also offers home delivery and set-up. "That is where value enters the pic- ture," says Johann. '«Our team wiil flot only deliver and set up your new sys- tem, but will give you basic- instruc - tions on how to operate it. And, if we need to go back to the client's home because something isn't quite rlght, we do so as many times as required at no extra cost." He continues, "When you consider that you are geulng professionals look- ing after you and making sure every- thing is the way you want it to be, you could be adding hundreds of dollars value."
