ENGLISH

Serial No. (Lot No.)

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 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.

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

co ul d r e s ul t i n f i r e o r s ho c k.

- 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 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 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.

• If CD, Tape or Rhythm play function (page 9) does not play for

10 minutes or if there is no audio input from any connected

external equipment for 10 minutes when VIDEO/AUX or MD is selected as the source, the power shuts off.

• When the power turns on due to timer recording (page 27), the display brightness level is set to “DIMMER 3” (page 6), all button lamps are off, and the volume is set to the minimum level (0).

• The display brightens only when operating the unit. When the unit has not been used for 10 seconds, the brightness level switches to the mode previously selected in “DIM MODE”. (Page

(If the display brightness level is set to “DIM-OFF”, the brightness does not change. When the leve] is “DIMMER 3”, the button lamps are also turned off.)

4-Channel Multi-Amplifier System

To provide reinforcement for the ultra-low frequencies, in addition

to the Left/Right 2-channel amplifier used to reproduce mid-to-

high-range frequencies, this system incorporates a second L/R

2-channel amplifier just for reproduction of ultra-low frequencies

— making it, in effect, a 4-amplifier system. By utilizing discrete

amplifiers for mid to-high-frequencies and low frequencies, highquality sonic reproduction that is virtually free from distortion can

be realized. This Multi Amplifier System, which utilizes independent circuitry for the different frequency ranges, enabies superb sonic

reproduction free from distortion.

Built-in Subwoofer System

The built-in subwoofer System has a separate subwoofer cavity

area that is part of the loudspeaker cabinet structure, which acts

as a sonic filter to cut distortion components. (In the Multi Amplifier

System, the ultra-low frequency signals transmitted from their

own independent amplifier are reproduced in this area.) This

separate construction gives a clear, rich definition to bass

reproduction and it can realize clear, well-defined mid-to-high frequency signals. And AlWA’s built-in subwoofer system incorporates a subwoofer capable of powerful, satisfying bass performance with true stereo

separation.
