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.

Installation

Water and moisture — Do not use this unit near water, such

as near a bathtub, 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 a bookcase, 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 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 inside, it may not function

normally. Should this occur, leave the unit for a few hours,

then try to operate again.

Wall or ceiling mounting —The unit should not be mounted

on a wall 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 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.

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

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.

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, 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, 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.

Inserting batteries

Detach the battery cover on the rear of the remote control and

insert two R6 (size AA) batteries.

R6(AA)

When to replace the batteries

The maximum operational distance between the remote control

and the sensor on the main unit should be approximately 5 meters

(16 feet). When this distance decreases, replace the batteries

with new ones.

To use SHIFT on the remote control

Buttons @ have two different functions. One of these functions

is indicated on the button, and the other on the plate above the

button.

To use the function on the button, simply press the button.

To use the function on the plate above the button, press the

button while pressing SHIFT.

To use FUNCTION on the remote control

FUNCTION substitutes for the function buttons (TAPE, TUNER/

BAND, PHONO, VIDEO/AUX, CD) on the main unit.

Each time FUNCTION is pressed, the next function is selected

cyclically.

● If the remote control is not going to be used for an extended

period of time, remove the batteries to prevent possible

electrolyte leakage.

● The remote control may not operate correctly when:

- The line of sight between the remote control and the remote

sensor inside the display window is exposed to intense light,

such as direct sunlight

- Other remote controls are used nearby (those of a television,

etc.)

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 a second UR

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.

BUILT-INSUBWOOFER 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 AlWA’s built-in subwoofer system incorporates a subwoofer

capable of powerful, satisfying bass performance with true stereo

separation.
