presence of important operating and mainte-
nance (servicing) instructions in the literature
accompanying the appliance.
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.

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 the each side.
-Do not place the unit on a bed, rug, orsimilarsurface 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 dated or
mounted on a stand or cart, the unit
should be moved with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and un-
even surfaces may cause the unit 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 forafew hours, then
try to operate again.
Wall or ceiling mounting–The unit should not be mounted on
awall or ceiling, unless specified in the Operating Instructions.
Electric Power

Power sources –Connect this unit only to power sources
specified in the Operating Instructions, and as marked on the
unit.
Polarization –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 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 apower outlet.
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 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 a
5
polarized AC power plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or
other outlet unless the polarized plug can be completely in-
serted to prevent exposure of the blades of the plug.
When not in use –Unplug the AC power cord from the AC
outlet 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

Power lines –When connecting an outdoor antenna, make
sure it is located away from power lines.
Outdoor antenna ctroundinct –Be sure the antenna system is
properly grounded-to provid; protection against unexpected
voltage surges or static electricity build-up. Article 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANS1/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.

Inserting batteries
Detach the batterv cover on the rear of the remote control and
insert two R6 (size AA) batteries.

When to replace the batteries
The maximum operational distance between the remote control
and the sensor on the main unit should be approximately 5meters
(16 feet). When this distance decreases, replace the batteries
with new ones.
To use the remote control
●Buttons on the remote control with the same names as those
on the main unit can be used instead. There are operations
performed by both the main unit and the remote control, but
there also exist operations performed by the remote control
only.
Read this manual for each operation and the buttons that can
be used.
“Some buttons on the remote control have two different functions.
To use the function on the button, simply press the button. To
use the function on the plate above or below the button, press
the button while pressing SHIFT.

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.
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 AlWA’s built-in subwoofer system
incorporates asubwoofer capable of powerful, satisfying bass
performance with true stereo separation.
