PRECAUTIONS
Read the Operating Instructions carefully and completely before
operating the unit. Be sure to keep the Operating Instructions
for future reference. All warnings and cautions in the Operating
Instructions and on the unit should be strictly followed, as well
as the safety suggestions below.
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.
Owner’s record
For your convenience, record the model number and serial
number (you will find them on the rear of your set) in the space
provided below. Please refer to them when you contact your Aiwa
dealer in case of difficulty.

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
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 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.
Outdoor Antenna
1
Power lines — When connecting an outdoor antenna, make
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
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA70, 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.

BEFORE OPERATION
I:
Inserting batteries
Detach the battery cover on the rear of the remote control and
insert two R6 (size AA) batteries.
0
When to replace the batteries
The maximum operational distance between the remote controi
and the sensor on the main unit shouid be approximately 5 meters
(16 feet). When this distance decreases, repiace the batteries
with new ones.
►/◄► PRESET on the remote control
The function is the same as that of on the main unit.
•
■ ENTER
■MULTI JOG
To turn the power on
Press one of the function buttons (TAPE DECK1/2, TUNER
BAND, VIDEO/AUX, CD, MD). Playback of the inserted disc or
tape begins, or the previously tuned station is received (Direct
Play Function).
POWER is also available.
When the power is turned on, the disc compartment may open
and close to reset the unit.
►/◄► PRESET
• if the remote controi is not going to be used for an extended
period of time, remove the batteries to prevent possibie
eiectroiyte leakage.
• The remote control may not operate correctly when:
- The line of sight between the remote control and the remote
sensor inside the display window is exposed to intense light,
such as direct sunlight
- Other remote controls are used nearby (those of a television,
etc.)
To turn the power off
Press POWER.
To change the brightness level of the display
1 Press ECO so that “ECO MODE” is displayed.
2 Within 4 seconds, turn MULTI JOG to display “DIM MODE”,
and then press ENTER within 4 seconds.
3 Within 4 seconds, turn MULTI JOG to select the dimmer mode
as below.
The mode will be automatically set after 4 seconds. It will also
be set if ENTER is pressed within 4 seconds after step 3.

SETTING POWER ECONOMIZING MODE
Setting this unit to power economizing mode reduces power
consumption as follows.
• When the power is turned off, all the display lights turn off.
However, if the clock is not set, the game Demo (page 8) will
begin 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
6)
(If the display brightness level is set to “DIM-OFF”, the
brightness does not change. When the level 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, enables 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.
