There are several specificati o n le ve ls. In Level 1,
file names must be in the 8.3 format (no more than
eight characters in the name, no more than three
characters in th e e x te nsion “.MP3”) and in ca pital
letters. Folder names can be no long er tha n e ight

Multi Session
This is a recording method that enables adding of
data using the Track-At-Once me thod.
Conventional CDs begin at a CD control area called
the Lead-in and end at an area called Lead-out. A
Multi Session CD is a CD having multiple sessions,
with each segment from Lead-in to Lead -o u t
regarded as a single session.
CD-Extra: This format records audio (audio CD

Notes on CD-R and CD-RW

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs cannot be played
on this system depending upon the recording
quality or physical condition of the disc, or
the characteristics of the recording device.
Furthermore, the disc will not play if it has not
been correctly finalized. For more
information, see the opera ting instructions f or
the recording device.

• Discs recorded on CD-R/CD-RW drive s may
not be played ba ck be ca use o f sc rat che s, d irt ,
recording condition or the driver’s
characteristics.

• CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded in multi­session that have no t en ded by “closing the
session” are not supported.

• The system ma y be unable to play MP3
format files tha t do not have the “.MP3”
extension.

• Attempting to play non-MP3 format f iles that
have the “.MP3” extension may result in noise
or malfunction.

• With formats ot her tha n ISO 966 0 le vel 1 and
2, folder names or file names may not be
displayed correctly .

• The following discs take a longer time to start
playback.

– a disc recorded with complicated tree

structure.
– a disc recorded in Multi Session.
– a disc to which data can be added (non-

finalized disc).

Music discs encoded with
copyright protection
technologies

This product is designed to playback discs that
conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard.
Recently, various music discs encoded with
copyright protect io n technologies are m ar keted
by some record companies . Plea se be awar e that
among those discs, there are some that do not
conform to the CD standard and may not be
playable by this prod uct.

Cautions when playing a disc
that is recorded in Multi
Session

• If the disc begins with a CD-DA session, it is
recognized as a CD- D A (audio) disc, and
playback continues until an MP3 session is
encountered.

• If the disc begins with an MP3 session, it is
recognized as an MP3 disc, and playback
continues until a CD - D A (audio) session is
encountered.

• The playback range of an MP3 disc is
determined by the tree structure of files
produced by analyzi ng of the disc.

• A disc with a mixed CD format will be
recognized as a CD- D A (audio) disc.

this system’s US B hub ports, you can op er ate
USB components from a computer through thi s
system. You can connect an optional USB
component with a maximum current
consumption of 10 0 mA or less to each po rt .
For details on compatible USB components,
refer to the oper at i n g instructions “U SB Hub
Port Information” provided with this system.

1 Connect the system to a computer with

2 Connect an optional USB component

to this system’s USB hub port.

If the USB indicator turns off

The connected USB component has a maximum
current consumption in excess of 100 mA, so it
cannot be used with this system. The USB
STATUS lamp on the unit lights up. In this case,
follow the procedures below.

1 Disconnect the optional USB component

from this system.

2 When instructions are displayed on the PC

monitor, please follow them.
If any instructions are not displayed on the

Troubleshooting

Problems and remedies

Should you encounter a problem with your
system, do the following:

1 Make sure the power cord and speaker

cords are correctly and firmly connected.

2 Find your problem in the troubleshooting

checklist below and take the indicated
corrective action.

If the problem persists after doing all of the
above, consult yo ur nearest Aiwa dealer.

When the ?/1 indicator flashes

Immediately unplug the power cord and
check the follow i ng i tems.

Additional Information

Precautions

On operating voltage

Before operating the system, ch ec k tha t the operating
voltage of your system is identical with the volt a ge of
your local power supply.

On safety

• The unit is not disconnected from the AC powe r
source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall
outlet, even if th e unit itself has been turne d of f.

• Unplug the system from the wall outlet (mains) if it
is not to be used for an extended period of time. To
disconnect the power cord (mains), pull it out by the
plug. Never pull the cord itself.

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the system,
unplug the system and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.

• AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified
service shop.

On placement

• Do not place the system in an inclined position.

• Do not place the syste m in locations where it is;
– Extremely hot or cold
– Dusty or dirty
– Very humid
– Subject to vibrations
– Subject to direct sunlight.

• Use caution when placing the unit or sp eake r s on
surfaces that have been specially treated (with wax,
oil, polish, etc.) as staining or discoloration of the
surface may result.

On heat buildup

• Although the system heats up during operation, this
is not a malfunctio n.

• Place the system in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system.

• If you continuously use this system at a high volume,
the cabinet temperature of the top, side and bottom
rises considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not
touch the cabinet.

• To prevent a malfunction, do not cover the
ventilation hole.

In case color irregu larity is observed
on nearby a TV screen

With the magneti cally shiel ded type of speak er system,
the speakers can be installed near a TV set. However,
color irregularity may still be observed on the TV
screen depending on the type of your TV set.

If color irregularity is observed…

Turn off the TV set once, then turn it on after 15 to 30
minutes.

If color irregularity is observed
again…

Place the speakers farther away from th e TV s et.

On operation

• If the system is brought directly from a cold to a
warm location, or is placed in a very damp room,
moisture may co ndense on the lens in s ide the CD
player. Should this occur, the system will not operate
properly. Remove the disc and leave the system

Notes on discs

• Before playing, cle an the disc with a cleaning cloth.
Wipe the disc from the center out.

• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,
commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray
intended for vinyl LPs.

• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or heat
sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car
parked in direct sunlight.

• Do not use discs encircled with a protection ring.
This may cause a malfunction to the syst e m.

• When using discs that have glue or simila r tacky
substance on the label side of the disc or that used a
special ink when the label was printed, there is a
chance that the di sc or lab el may be come atta ched to
parts inside this unit. When this occurs, it may not be
possible to remove the disc, and may also cause this
unit to malfunction . Be sure to check that the labe l
side of the disc is not sticky before using.
The following types of disc should not be use d:
– Rental or used discs with attac hed seal s wher e the

glue extends beyond the seal. The perimeter of the
seal on the disc is tacky.

– Discs that have labe ls printed using a special ink

that feels tacky when touched.

• Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square,
star) cannot be played on this unit. Attempting to do
so may damage the unit. Do not use such discs.

Cleaning the cabinet

Clean the cabinet, panel and controls wit h a soft c lot h
slightly moistened with mild detergent solution. Do not
use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or
solvent such as thinner, benzine or alcohol.

Disc cleanin g

Do not use a commercially available CD/DVD lens
cleaning disc with this system, as this may re sult in
malfunction.
