Objects and liquid entry — Take care that objects or liquid
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 or cart to
overturn or fall.
Condensation
—
Moisture
may
form
on
the
CD

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

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 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 notin 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.
2 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/NFPA 70, 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
es SS
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, 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.
See
RS RR a a a aT
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 AIWA’s built-in subwoofer system incorporates a subwoofer
capable of powerful, satisfying bass performance with true stereo
separation.
