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 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 I
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

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 is not still inserted easily into the outlet, please
call aqualified 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 firmly secured 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 power
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
1Power lines —When connecting an outdoor antenna, make
sure it is located away from power lines.
2Outdoor 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, 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 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 UR
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-INSUBWOOFER 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 AlWA’s built-in subwoofer system incorporates asubwoofer
capable of powerful, satisfying bass performance with true stereo
separation.
