How to use this manual  
This manual mainly explains operations using  
the remote, but the same operations can also be  
performed using the buttons on the system  
having the same or similar names.  
• An 8 cm disc converted to a standard disc  
using an adaptor  
• CD-ROMs  
• CD-Rs/CD-RWs other than those recorded in  
the following formats:  
– music CD format  
– MP3 format that conforms to ISO96601)

List of playable discs  
Format of discs  
Disc logo  
1)  
ISO9660 Format  
Audio CDs  
The most common international standard for the  
logical format of files and folders on a CD-ROM.  
There are several specification levels. In Level 1,  
file names must be in the 8.3 format (no more than  
eight characters in the name, no more than three  
characters in the extension “.MP3”) and in capital  
letters. Folder names can be no longer than eight  
characters. There can be no more than eight nested  
folder levels. Level 2 specifications allow file  
names and folder names up to 31 characters long.  
Each folder can have up to 8 trees.  
CD-R/CD-RW  
(audio data/MP3 files)  
For Joliet or Romeo in the expansion format make  
sure of the contents of the writing software, etc.  
2)  
Multi Session  
This is a recording method that enables adding of  
data using the Track-At-Once method.  
Conventional CDs begin at a CD control area called  
the Lead-in and end at an area called Lead-out. A  
Multi Session CD is a CD having multiple sessions,  
with each segment from Lead-in to Lead-out  
regarded as a single session.  
CD-Extra: This format records audio (audio CD  
data) on the tracks in session 1 and data on the tracks  
in session 2.  
Mixed CD: This format records data on the first  
track and audio (audio CD data) on the second and  
subsequent tracks of a session.

Notes on CD-R and CD-RW  
Music discs encoded with  
copyright protection  
technologies  
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs cannot be played  
on this system depending upon the recording  
quality or physical condition of the disc, or  
the characteristics of the recording device.  
Furthermore, the disc will not play if it has not  
been correctly finalized. For more  
information, see the operating instructions for  
the recording device.  
This product is designed to playback discs that  
conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard.  
Recently, various music discs encoded with  
copyright protection technologies are marketed  
by some record companies. Please be aware that  
among those discs, there are some that do not  
conform to the CD standard and may not be  
playable by this product.  
• Discs recorded on CD-R/CD-RW drives may  
not be played back because of scratches, dirt,  
recording condition or the driver’s  
characteristics.  
Cautions when playing a disc  
that is recorded in Multi  
Session  
• CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded in multi-  
session that have not ended by “closing the  
session” are not supported.  
• The system may be unable to play MP3  
format files that do not have the “.MP3”  
extension.  
• If the disc begins with a CD-DA session, it is  
recognized as a CD-DA (audio) disc, and  
playback continues until an MP3 session is  
encountered.  
• Attempting to play non-MP3 format files that  
have the “.MP3” extension may result in noise  
or malfunction.  
• If the disc begins with an MP3 session, it is  
recognized as an MP3 disc, and playback  
continues until a CD-DA (audio) session is  
encountered.  
• With formats other than ISO9660 level 1 and  
2, folder names or file names may not be  
displayed correctly.  
• The playback range of an MP3 disc is  
determined by the tree structure of files  
produced by analyzing of the disc.  
• A disc with a mixed CD format will be  
recognized as a CD-DA (audio) disc.  
• The following discs take a longer time to start  
playback.  
– a disc recorded with complicated tree  
structure.  
– a disc recorded in Multi Session.  
– a disc to which data can be added (non-  
finalized disc).

Tips  
• To improve broadcast reception, adjust the supplied  
antennas, or connect a commercially available  
external antenna.  
Using the Radio Data  
System (RDS)  
• When using a personal computer and listening to the  
radio, connecting a commercially available external  
antenna is recommended.  
(European model only)  
• When an FM stereo program has static noise, press  
FM MODE repeatedly until “MONO” appears.  
There will be no stereo effect, but the reception will  
improve.  
What is the Radio Data  
System?  
Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting  
service that allows radio stations to send  
additional information along with the regular  
program signal. RDS is available only on FM  
stations.*  
• Press TUNING MODE repeatedly until “AUTO”  
appears in step 3 above, then press TUNING + or –.  
The frequency indication changes and scanning stops  
when the system tunes in a station (Automatic  
Tuning).  
Note  
RDS may not work properly if the station you are tuned  
in is not transmitting the RDS signal properly or if the  
signal is weak.  
* Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do they  
provide the same types of services. If you are not  
familiar with the RDS system, check with your local  
radio stations for details on RDS services in your  
area.  
Receiving RDS broadcasts  
Simply select a station from the FM band.  
When you tune in a station that provides RDS  
services, the station name appears in the display.  
To check the RDS information  
Each time you press DISPLAY, the display  
changes cyclically as follows:

is not a malfunction.  
• Place the system in a location with adequate  
ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system.  
• If you continuously use this system at a high volume,  
the cabinet temperature of the top, side and bottom  
rises considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not  
touch the cabinet.  
On operating voltage  
Before operating the system, check that the operating  
voltage of your system is identical with the voltage of  
your local power supply.  
• To prevent a malfunction, do not cover the  
ventilation hole.  
On safety  
In case color irregularity is observed  
on nearby a TV screen  
With the magnetically shielded type of speaker system,  
the speakers can be installed near a TV set. However,  
color irregularity may still be observed on the TV  
screen depending on the type of your TV set.  
• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power  
source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall  
outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.  
• Unplug the system from the wall outlet (mains) if it  
is not to be used for an extended period of time. To  
disconnect the power cord (mains), pull it out by the  
plug. Never pull the cord itself.  
If color irregularity is observed…  
Turn off the TV set once, then turn it on after 15 to 30  
minutes.  
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the system,  
unplug the system and have it checked by qualified  
personnel before operating it any further.  
If color irregularity is observed  
again…  
• AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified  
service shop.  
Place the speakers farther away from the TV set.  
On placement  
On operation  
• Do not place the system in an inclined position.  
• Do not place the system in locations where it is;  
– Extremely hot or cold  
• If the system is brought directly from a cold to a  
warm location, or is placed in a very damp room,  
moisture may condense on the lens inside the CD  
player. Should this occur, the system will not operate  
properly. Remove the disc and leave the system  
turned on for about an hour until the moisture  
evaporates.  
– Dusty or dirty  
– Very humid  
– Subject to vibrations  
– Subject to direct sunlight.  
• Use caution when placing the unit or speakers on  
surfaces that have been specially treated (with wax,  
oil, polish, etc.) as staining or discoloration of the  
surface may result.  
• When you move the system, take out any disc.  
If you have any questions or problems concerning your  
system, please consult your nearest Aiwa dealer.

DISTORTION:  
• Do not use discs encircled with a protection ring.  
This may cause a malfunction to the system.  
• When using discs that have glue or similar tacky  
substance on the label side of the disc or that used a  
special ink when the label was printed, there is a  
chance that the disc or label may become attached to  
parts inside this unit. When this occurs, it may not be  
possible to remove the disc, and may also cause this  
unit to malfunction. Be sure to check that the label  
side of the disc is not sticky before using.  
The following types of disc should not be used:  
– Rental or used discs with attached seals where the  
glue extends beyond the seal. The perimeter of the  
seal on the disc is tacky.  
With 6-ohm loads, both channels driven, from  
120 – 10,000 Hz: rated 20 watts per channel
