NOTE
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for aClass Bdigital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules.These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in aresidential installation.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in aparticular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user
is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more
of the following measures:
-Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
-Connect the equipment into an outlet on circuit different from
that to which the receiver is connected.
-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
for help.
CAUTION
Modifications or adjustments to this product, which are not
expressly approved by the manufacturer, may void the user’s
right or authority to operate this product.
IENGLISH
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.

Water and moisture —Do not use this unit near water, such
as near abathtub, washbowl, swimming pool, or the like.
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.
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 abookcase, cabinet, or airtight rack
where ventilation may be impeded.
Objects and liquid entry —Take care that objects or liquids
do not get inside the unit through the ventilation openings.
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 m“>
AA*
or cart to overturn or fall.
Condensation —Moisture may form on the CD pickup lens
when:
-The unit is moved from acold spot to awarm spot
-The heating system has just been turned on
-The unit is used in avery 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 afew hours,
then try to operate again.
Wall or ceiling mounting —The unit should not be mounted
on a wall or-ceiling, u;less specified in the Operating
Instructions.
Electric Power
1Power sources —Connect this unit only to power sources
specified in the Operating Instructions, and as marked on the
unit.
2Polarization —As asafety feature, some units are equipped
with polarized AC power plugs which can only be inserted
one way into apower 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 aqualified service technician to service or replace
the outlet. Toavoid defeating the safety feature of the polarized
plug, do not force it into apower outlet.

A& power cora
-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 routed 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.
Extension cord —To help prevent electric shock, do not use
apolarized 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.
When not in use —Unplug the AC power cord from the AC
power plug if the unit will not be used for several months or
more. When the cord is plugged in, asmall amount of current
continues to flow to the unit, even when the power is turned
off.
Outdoor Antenna
1Power lines —When connecting an outdoor antenna, make
sure it is located away from power lines.
2Outdoor antenna grounding —Besure the antenna system
isproperlygroundedto provideprotectionagainst unexpected
voltage surges or static electricity build-up. Article 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANS1/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.

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 asecond L/R
2-channel amplifier just for reproduction of ultra-low frequencies
—making it, in effect, a4-amplifier system. By utilizing discrete
amplifiers for mid-to-high-frequencies and low frequencies, high-
quality 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 aseparate subwoofer cavity
area that is part of the loudspeaker cabinet structure, which acts
as asonic 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 aclear, rich definition to bass
reproduction and it can realize clear, well-defined mid-to-high
frequency signals.
And AIWAS built-in subwoofer system incorporates asubwoofer
capable of powerful, satisfying bass performance with true stereo
