Explanation of Graphical Symbols:
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
OWNER'S RECORD
For your convenience, record the model number and serial number (you will find at the rear of the unit) in the space provided below. Please refer to them when you contact your AIWA dealer in case of difficulty.
___________________ ___________________
Read these Operating Instructions carefully and completely before operating the unit. All precautions on this booklet and on the unit should be strictly followed.
Keep the Operating Instructions for future reference.
Installation
1 Water and moisture — Do not use this unit near water, such as near a bathtub, washbowl, swimming pool, or the like.
2 Heat — Do not use this unit near sources of heat, including heating vents, stoves, or other appliances that generate heat. It also should not be placed in temperatures less than 5°C (41°F) or greater than 35°C (95°F).
3 Mounting surface — Place the unit on a flat, even surface. 4 Ventilation — The unit should be situated with adequate space around it so that proper heat ventilation is assured. Allow 10 cm (4 in.) clearance from the rear and the top of
the unit, and 5 cm (2 in.) from each side.
-Do not place the unit on a bed, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings.
-Do not install the unit in a bookcase, cabinet, or airtight rack where ventilation may be impeded.
5 Objects and liquid entry — Take care that objects or liquids do not get inside the unit through the ventilation openings.
6 Carts and stands — When placed or mounted on a stand or cart, the unit should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the
unit or cart to overturn or fall.
7 Condensation — Moisture may form on the CD pickup lens when:
-The unit is moved from a cold spot to a warm spot
-The heating system has just been turned on
-The unit is used in a very humid room
-The unit is cooled by an air conditioner
When this unit has condensation inside, it may not function normally. Should this occur, leave the unit for a few hours, then try to operate again.
8 Wall or ceiling mounting — The unit should not be mounted on a wall or ceiling, unless specified in the Operating Instructions.
Electric Power
1Power sources — Connect this unit only to power sources specified in the Operating Instructions, and as marked on the unit.
2Polarization — 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 still does not easily insert 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.
3AC 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 outlet.
-Avoid overloading AC outlets and extension cords beyond their capacity, as this could result in fire or shock.
4Extension 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.
5When not in use — Unplug the AC power cord from the 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
1 Power lines — When connecting an outdoor antenna, make sure it is located away from power lines.
2 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 National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information 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
Remote Control
Insert two R6 (size AA) batteries
En • When the reach of the remote control signal is less than 5 meters (16 feet), replace the batteries.
•Remove the batteries to prevent possible electrolyte leakage if the unit is not going to be used for a long period.
•The remote control may not operate correctly when:
-The unit is exposed to intense light, such as direct sunlight.
-Objects block the remote control signal to the unit.
Connections
The rated voltage of the unit, shown on the rear panel, is 120 V AC. Check that it matches your local voltage.
1Connect the speakers.
Connect the right speaker to the R terminals, and the left speaker to the L terminals on the rear panel. Connect the speaker cords with stripes to the + terminals.
Speakers
•Use only the supplied speakers.
•Do not leave objects generating magnetism or objects affected by magnetism near the speakers.
•Do not short-circuit the + and – speaker cord leads, otherwise the sound may become inaudible. If this happens, disconnect the AC cord and re-connect the speaker cord leads correctly.
Antennas
Keep antennas away from metallic objects, electrical equipment and cords.
•FM antenna: Extend it horizontally in a T-shape and fix its
end to the wall. For better reception, connect an optionally available outdoor antenna to the FM 75Ω terminals.
•AM antenna: Position and rotate it to find the best reception. Do not unwind the AM antenna wire.
