Electric Power
1 Power sources — Connect this unit only to power sources
specified in the Operating Instructions, and as marked on
the unit.
2 Polarization — As a safety feature, some units are equipped
with polarized AC power plugs which can only be inserted
one way into a power outlet. If it is difficult or impossible to
insert the AC power plug into an outlet, turn the plug over
and try again. If it is not still inserted easily into the outlet,
please call a qualified service technician to service or replace
the outlet. To avoid defeating the safety feature of the
polarized plug, do not force it into a power outlet.
3 AC power cord
- When disconnecting the AC power cord, pull it out by the
AC power plug. Do not pull the cord itself.
- Never handle the AC power plug with wet hands, as this
could result in fire or shock.
- Power cords should be firmly secured to avoid being
severely bent, pinched, or walked upon. Pay particular
attention to the cord from the unit to the power socket.
- Avoid overloading AC power plugs and extension cords
beyond their capacity, as this could result in fire or shock.
4 Extension cord — To help prevent electric shock, do not
use a polarized AC power plug with an extension cord,
receptacle, or other outlet unless the polarized plug can be
completely inserted to prevent exposure of the blades of the
plug.
5 When not in use — Unplug the AC power cord from the AC
power outlet if the unit will not be used for several months or
more. When the cord is plugged in, a small amount of current
continues to flow to the unit, even when the power is turned
off.
Outdoor Antenna
Power lines — When connecting an outdoor antenna, make
1
sure it is located away from power lines.
Outdoor antenna grounding — Be sure the antenna system
is properly grounded to provide protection against unexpected
voltage surges or static electricity build-up. Article 810 of the
Natienal Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA70, provides infermation
on proper grounding of the mast, supporting structure, and
the lead-in wire to the antenna discharge unit, as well as the
size of the grounding unit, connection to grounding terminals,
and requirements for grounding terminals themselves.

PREPARATIONS
CONNECTIONS
Before connecting the AC cord
The rated voltage of your unit shown on the rear panel Is 120 V
AC. Check that the rated voltage matches your local voltage.
IMPORTANT
Connect the speakers, antennas, and all other external
equipment first. Then connect the AC cord at the end.
*' Be sure to connect the VIDEO OUT terminal of a DVD player
directly to a TV set, not through this unit. Otherwise, the picture
noise may appear when playing the DVDs copy protected.
Input sound through the 5.1 INPUT terminals cannot be
recorded. When recording the sound from the DVD player,
connect the AUDIO OUT (DOWN MIXING) terminals of the
DVD player to the VIDEO 1/DVD/MD AUDIO IN terminals of
the unit.
When connecting a monaural video, use a stereo-mono
connecting cord (not supplied).
CONNECTING EQUIPMENT
Jacks and plugs of the connecting cord are color-coded as
follows:
Red jacks and plugs : For the right channel of audio signals
White jacks and plugs: For the left channel of audio signals
Yellow jacks and plugs: For video signals
Insert the plugs fully Into the jacks. Loose connections may
produce a humming sound or other noise interference.

CONNECTING SPEAKERS ®
Speaker terminals
Connect front speakers (system A and/or B), a center speaker,
surround speakers and sub woofer to the corresponding speaker
terminals on the unit:
- the front speaker cords to the FRONT SPEAKERS terminals
- the center speaker cord to the CENTER SPEAKER terminals
- the surround speaker cords to the SURROUND SPEAKERS
terminals.
- for more powerful bass, the sub woofer (with a built-in amplifier,
Aiwa TS-W35 etc.) cord to the SUPER WOOFER Kl jack
Speaker impedance
• Front and center speakers
Use the same impedance speakers for both the front and center
ones.
The SPEAKER IMPEDANCE SELECTOR on the rear should be
set to the position that matches the impedance value of the front
and center speakers.
When using 4 ohm speakers, set the selector to IMP:40. When
using 8 ohm speakers, set the selector to IMP:8i2. Please unplug
the AC cord before setting the selector.
• Surround speakers and super woofer
The SPEAKER IMPEDANCE SELECTOR has no effect on the
SURROUND SPEAKERS terminals and the SUPER WOOFER
<1 jack. For the surround speakers and sub woofer, use speakers
of 8 ohms or more.
Front speakers
Connecting + to +, - to - terminals
To get the proper sound effect, the speaker terminals on the unit
and the speaker should be connected with proper polarity; the -r
terminal on the unit should be connected to the -r terminal on
the speaker (and - to -).
• Be sure to connect the speaker cords correctly as shown in
the illustration on the right column. Improper connections can
cause short circuits in the SPEAKER(S) terminals.
' Do not leave objects generating magnetism near the speakers.
•
POSITIONING THE SPEAKERS
Position the speakers to make the most of the Doiby Digital
Surround (5.1 CH), Dolby Pro Logic or DSP effect.
CONNECTING THE SUPPLIED ANTENNAS (2)
Connect the FM antenna to the FM 75 i2 terminals and the AM
antenna to the AM LOOP terminals.
(D Front speakers d) Center speaker
Position in the center of the two front speakers. In addition,
position on or below the TV set, if connecting a TV set to the
unit.
© Surround speakers
Place the surround speakers directly to the side of or slightly
behind the listening area. Align them horizontally, about 1
meter (3.2 feet) above ear height.
@ Sub woofer
Place the sub woofer in any place between the two front
speakers.
Sound from the surround speakers or center speaker depends
on the setting of the DSP, Dolby Pro Logic and 5.1 CH function.
FM antenna
To stand the AM loop antenna on a surface
Fix the claw to the slot as shown in the illustration.
To position the antennas FM feeder antenna:
Extend this antenna horizontally in a T shape and fix its ends to
the wall.
AM loop antenna:
Position for the best reception.
• Do not bring the FM antenna near metal objects or curtain rails.
• Do not bring the AM antenna near other external equipment,
the unit itself, the AC power cord or speaker cords, as noise
will be picked up.
• Do not unwind the AM loop antenna wire.
CONNECTING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA
For better FM reception, use of an outdoor antenna is
recommended. Connect the outdoor antenna to the FM 75 Ì2
terminals.

This unit is equipped with the Doiby Pro Logic decoder and also
supports the Dolby Digital decoder with the 5.1 ch output
terminals.
The unit and the center and surround speakers (standard) assure
full-scale home theater sound. When playing back discs or video
software that have been recorded in Dolby Pro Logic or Dolby
Digital Surround, astonishingly realistic sound surrounds the
listener to create a new level of audio/visual entertainment.
Independent control of the five channels allows the listener to
enjoy the same type of sound reproduction experienced in movie
theaters. Voices are reproduced in the front and center sound
field, while ambient sounds like cars and crowds are reproduced
on all sides of the listener for an incredibly lifelike audio/video
experience. Please read the following carefully to “tune” the
system’s output to match the characteristics of your listening
space.
Check the following:
• Before enjoying the DOLBY SURROUND sound, adjust the
proper balance of the speaker sound levels (see page 15).
• Make sure the speakers are properly connected and positioned
(see pages 3, 4 and 5).
• Make sure the TV set and video unit are properly connected
(see page 3).
• Make sure the disc and video tape, etc., support Dolby Pro
Logic or Dolby Digital Surround.

SELECTING DOLBY PRO LOGIC
The optimal Dolby Pro Logic mode depends on the type and
placement of the speakers. It is recommended that the optional
Aiwa speakers should be used for all channels, for example, the
SX-R2500 for surround speakers, the SX-C2500 for a center
speaker and the SX-AV2500 for front speakers. Check your
current type and placement of the speakers and select the
recommended Dolby Pro Logic mode accordingly.

the software without nni5ii-°Y5n°B°uM°l mark. In this case, use
the DSP surround system instead (see page 9).
' The Doiby Pro Logic system is automatically canceled:
- when the BBE or DSP system is turned on
- when the 5.1 CH function is selected
- when headphones are plugged in
