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.
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.
Serial No. (Lot No.)
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 liquid
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
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 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.
ENGLISH
Outdoor Antenna
1
Power lines — When connecting an outdoor antenna, make
sure it is iocated away from power lines.
Outdoor antenna grounding — Be sure the antenna system
is properly grounded to provide protection against unexpected
voitage surges or static eiectricity build-up. Article 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information
on proper grounding of the mast, supporting structure, and
the iead-in wire to the antenna discharge unit, as weii as the
size of the grounding unit, connection to grounding terminals,
and requirements for grounding terminais themseives.

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-tohigh-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.

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, and
only the 6STANDBY/ON indicator lights.
However, if the clock is not set, the game Demo (page 8) will
begin when the power is turned off.
• If CD or Tape 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 PHONO is selected as the source,
the power shuts off.
• 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 ievel is “DIMMER 3”,
the button lamps are also turned off.)
1 Press ECO.
“ECO MODE” will be displayed.
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.
