CONNECTIONS
Before connecting the AC cord
The rated voltage of your system shown on the bottom of the tuner/amplifier unit is 120 V AC. Check that the rated voltage matches your local voltage.
IMPORTANT
● Connect the speakers, antennas, and all optional equipment
first. Then connect the AC cord.
● There are no differences between the front speakers. Both
speakers can be connected as L (Left) or R (Right).
1 Place the CD/tape unit on top of the tuner/
amplifier unit and plug in the connector of the flat cable as shown below.
Note that the connector can be plugged in in only one direction with the flat cable facing left.
t cable
2 Connect the speaker cords to the speakers.
Connect the cords with the white stripes to @ terminals and the other cords to @ terminals.
3 Connect the speaker cords to the tuner/amplifier
unit.
The cords with the white stripes should be connected to the
terminals and the other cords to the 0 terminals.

Connect the AC cord to an AC outlet.
Do not short-circuit the 0 and 0 speaker cord leads; otherwise the sound may become inaudible or the system may be turned off. if this happens, disconnect the AC cord from the AC outlet and re-connect the speaker cords correctly. Connect then the AC cord and turn the system on again.
CONCERNING THE DISPLAY WINDOW’S DEMO DISPLAY
When the power cord is plugged into an electrical outlet for the first time after purchase, a demo display will appear in the display window. When the power is turned on, the demo display will end. When the power is turned off, the demo display will appear again. Until the clock is set, the demo display will appear whenever the power is turned off. (For setting the clock, see page 7.)
When the clock is set
The demo display can be seen by pressing the MODE button while pressing the SHIFT button on the remote control. This button is used also to dim the display and to set the system in the power economizing mode. See page 7 for detailed explanation.
PLACING THE TWO UNITS SIDE BY SIDE
You may also place the CD/tape and the tuner/amplifier units side by side according to your preference.
In this case, make sure that the flat cable does not obstruct the ventilation openings, as shown below. Always leave adequate clearance between the flat cable and the ventilation openings.

● Do not connect any speakers to the system other than the
supplied ones.
● Do not leave objects generating magnetism near the speakers.
● Do not bring the FM antenna near metal objects or curtain rails.
● Do not bring the AM antenna near other optional equipment,
the stereo system itself, the AC cord or speaker cords, since noise will be picked up.
● Do not unwind the AM antenna wire.
CONNECTING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA
For better FM reception, use of an outdoor antenna is
recommended.
Connect the outdoor antenna to the FM 75 K2terminals.

● The connecting cords are not supplied. Obtain the necessary
connecting cords.
● Consult your local Aiwa dealer for optional equipment.
MD IN JACKS
Iuly.u
DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) JACK
This system can output CD digital sound signals through this jack. Use an optical cable to connect digital audio equipment (digital amplifier, DAT deck, MD recorder, etc.).
Remove the dust cap @ from the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) jack.
Then, connect an optical cable plug to the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) jack.
m
When recording the CD digital sound of this system using an external digital equipment such as an MD recorder connected to the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) jack, proceed as follows to prevent the beginning of the sound to be recorded from being cut.
1 Set the CD/tape unit to the CD playback pause mode. 2 Start recording on the connected equipment. 3 Start playback of the CD on the CD/tape unit.
When DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) jack is not being used
Attach the supplied dust cap.
SUPER WOOFER d JACK
Connect an optional powered sub woofer with a built-in-amplifier
to the jack.
This system can input analog sound signals from an MD player or MD recorder through these jacks. Use a cable with RCA phono plugs to connect an MD piayer/ recorder. Connect the red plug to the R jack, and the white plug to the L
jack.
m
When using an MD recorder to record the sound of this system (radio or CD), connect the MD recorder to the LINE OUT jacks. This connection enables recording onto an MD in analog signal. To record the CD playback sound of this system in digital signal, connect the MD recorder to the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) jack.
AUX IN JACKS
This system can input analog sound signals through these jacks.
Use a cable with RCA phono plugs to connect audio equipment
(turntables, LD players, VCRs, TV, etc.). Connect the red plug to the R jack, and the white plug to the L jack.
When connecting a turntable
Use an Aiwa turntable equipped with a built-in equalizer amplifier.
LINE OUT JACKS
This system can output analog sound signals for all functions through these jacks. Use a cable with RCA phono plugs to connect audio equipment. Connect the red plug to the R jack, and the white plug to the L jack.
m
Do not connect equipment to the LINE OUT jacks and AUX IN
jacks simultaneously.
Otherwise, noise is generated and malfunctions may occur.

Occasional care and maintenance of the system and the software are needed to optimize the performance of your system.
To clean the cabinet
Use a soft and dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth lightly moistened with mild detergent solution, Do not use strong solvents, such as alcohol, benzine or thinner as these could damage the finish of the system.
To clean the heads and tape paths
After every 10 hours of use, clean the heads and tape paths with a commercially available head cleaning cassette.
Care of the system
● Do not give the system a strong shock i.e., drop or hit,
● Do not use the system close to a strong magnetic field such as
a television. Doing so may cause malfunctions.
Care of CDs
● When a disc becomes dirty, wipe the disc from the center out
with a cleaning cloth.
● After playing a disc, store the disc in its case. Do not leave the
disc in places that are hot or humid.
Care of tapes
● Store tapes in their cases after use.
● Do not leave tapes near magnets, motors, television sets, or
any source of magnetism. This will downgrade the sound quality and cause noise.
● Do not expose tapes to direct sunlight, or leave them in a car
parked in direct sunlight.
