Warning
To prevent electric shock or injury, these safety instructions should
be followed in the installation, use and servicing the unit.
Installation
Attachments - Do not use attachments not recommended by
the unit manufacturer as they may result in the risk of fire, electric
shock or injury to persons.
Water and Moisture - Do not use this unit near water - for
example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub,
in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.

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 them on the rear of your unit) in the space
provided below. Please refer to them when you contact your Aiwa
dealer in case of difficulty.

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 ).
Mounting surface - Place the unit on a flat, even surface.
Accessories - Do not place this unit on an unstable cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table. The unit may fall, causing serious injury
to a child or an adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use
only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by
the manufacturer, or sold with the unit. Any mounting of the
appliance should follow the manufacturer's instructions, and
should use a mounting accessory recommended by the
manufacturer.
Portable cart - An appliance and cart
combination should be moved with care. Quick
stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may
cause the appliance and cart combination to
overturn.
Ventilation - The unit should be situated with adequate space
around it so that proper heat ventilation is assured. Allow 10 cm
clearance from the rear and the top of the unit, and 5 cm from
the each side.
Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are
provided for ventilation, and to ensure reliable operation of the
unit and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not
be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked
by placing the unit on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface.
This unit should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a
bookcase unless proper ventilation is provided.
Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind into
this unit through the cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous
voltage points or short-circuit parts that could result in a fire or
electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the unit.
Electric Power
Power Sources - This unit should be operated only from the
type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are
not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your
appliance dealer or local power company. To operate unit on
battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
Grounding or Polarization - This unit is provided with a polarized
alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than
the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way.
This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully
into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to
fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do
not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
Power-Cord Protection - Power-supply cords should be routed
so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items
placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords
at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit
from the product.
Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords,
integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of
fire or electric shock.

Outdoor Antenna
Power lines - An outside antenna system should not be located
in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or
power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits.
When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should
be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as
contact with them might be fatal.
Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna or cable
system is connected to the unit, be sure the antenna or cable
system is grounded so as to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70, provides information
with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting
structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge
unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge
unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for
the grounding electrode. See the figure.

Lightning
For added protection for this unit receiver during a lightning storm,
or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time,
unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable
system. This will prevent damage to the unit due to lightning and
powerline surges.
Maintenance
Cleaning - Unplug this unit from the wall outlet before cleaning.
Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth
for cleaning.
Damage Requiring Service
Unplug this unit from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified
service personnel under the following conditions:
- When the power cord or plug is damaged.
- If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the unit.
- If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.
- If the unit does not operate normally by following the operating
instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the
operating instructions as improper adjustment of other controls
may result in damage and will often require extensive work by
a qualified technician to restore the unit to normal operation.
- If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
- When the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance - this
indicates a need for service.
Do not attempt to service this unit yourself as opening or removing
covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required, be
sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified
by the manufacturer or having the same characteristics as the
original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric
shock or other hazards.
Safety Check - Upon the completion of any service or repairs to
this unit, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to
determine that the unit is in proper operating condition.

1 Connect the right and left speakers to the main
unit.
Connect the right speaker cord to SPEAKERS R terminals,
and left to SPEAKERS L terminals.
The speaker cord with the white stripe should be connected
to 0 terminal and the black cord to 9 terminal.
2 Connect the supplied antennas.
Connect the FM antenna to FM 75 terminals and the AM
antenna to AM LOOP terminals.
3 Connect the AC cord to an AC outlet.
· The Demo will begin when the AC cord is plugged into an
AC outlet. See page 6 "DEMO" for details.
AM antenna
FM antenna
To position the antennas
FM antenna:
Extend the antenna horizontally in a T-shape and fix its ends to
the wall.
AM antenna:
Position to find the best reception.
To stand the AM antenna on a surface
Fix the claw to the slot.
· Be sure to connect the speaker cords correctly. Improper
connections can cause short circuits in SPEAKERS terminals.
· Do not leave objects generating magnetism, such as credit
cards, near the speakers, as the objects may be damaged.
· 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 FM 75 terminals.
