When playing back laser discs or video software that have been recorded in Dolby Surround, astonishingly realistic sound surrounds the listener to create a new level of audio/visual entertainment. Independent control of the four sound channels allows the listener to enjoy the same type of sound reproduction experienced in movie theaters. Voices are reproduced in the front and center sound field, while ambient sounds like cars and crowds are reproduced on all sides of the listener for an incredibly lifelike audio/video experience. Please read the following carefully to “tune” the system’s output to match the characteristics of your listening space. Check the following: ● Before using the DOLBY PRO LOGIC, adjust the proper balance of speaker sound levels. ● Make sure the supplied speakers are properly connected and positioned. (See page 3 and 4) ● Make sure the TV set and video unit are properly connected. (See page 4) ● Make sure the laser disc, video tape, etc., support fln~DOLBY SURROUNDi .‘,-. .__. _

The unit is equipped with a built-in test signal generator called a noise sequencer for easy balance adjustment of all 5 channels. The sequencer outputs a noise signal that “travels” from channel to channel, enabling the simple adjustment of sound level to achieve, at the listening position, the same apparent loudness from each channel, Use the remote control.

Press DOLBY PRO LOGIC to select “NORMAL”. “NORMAL” lights up in red. If “PHANTOM” or”3 STEREO” lights up in red, press DOLBY PRO LOGIC repeatedly until “NORMAL” is selected.

Press MANUAL SELECT (TEST) and hold it down for about 4 seconds until “L” flashes. A noise signal is sent to each channel in turn in the following sequence.

L: Left speaker+ CEN: Center speaker+ R: Right speaker S-L: Left surround speaker+- S-R: Right surround speaker

Adjust the sound level of the center and the surround speakers. While “CEN” “S-R” or “S-L” is displayed, press ++ DOWN or - UP to adjust the volume of the center or each surround speaker to match the level of the front speakers. To adjust the balance between the left and right front speakers, see page 7. At this time, the DOLBY PRO LOGIC mode should be canceled by pressing DOLBY PRO LOGIC until the “P- OFF is displayed. Press MANUAL SELECT (TEST) again to stop the noise signal. ● If the surround speakers or the center speaker level of the DOLBY PRO LOGIC is changed, that of the SURROUND system (page 11) and the DOLBY DIGITAL SURROUND (page

28) is also changed.

● While “S-L” or “S-R is displayed, both surround speakers output the noise signal together. However, only the sound level of one surround speaker displayed as “S-L or “S-R” can be adjusted. About the channels The left and right front speakers create the stereo effect. The center speaker helps achieve precise sound positioning over a broad sound field. The rear-mounted surround speakers enhance the “depth” of the sound field. To change the delay time The surround speakers reproduce sounds a split second after the front speakers. The delay is initially set to 20 ms (milliseconds). To change this standard delay time, press MANUAL SELECT (TEST) on the remote control repeatedly until “TIME” is displayed. Then, press + DOWN or - UP. Each time one of the buttons is pressed, the delay time changes as shown below, 15mS _20rnS _30mS 2 _tENGLISHIn addition to the NORMAL mode, this unit is also equipped with the PHANTOM and the 3 STEREO modes, ‘~m::::$ PHANTOM mode: Use this mode when no center speaker is connected.

Recommended microphones The use of unidirectional type microphones is recommended to prevent howling. Contact your local Aiwa dealer for details. Two microphones (not supplied) can be connected to this unit, allowing you to sing along to music sources. Use microphones with mini plugs (03.5 mm, ‘/8 inch).

Connect your microphones to MIC 1 and MIC 2 jacks. MC 1 Press one of the function buttons to select the source to be mixed, and play the source. Adjust the volume and tone of the source. Press MIC and turn VOLUME within 4 seconds to adjust the microphone volume. The microphone volume can be selected from 1 to MAX (7) or OFF (cancel). The volume of both microphones is adjusted simultaneously. Press ECHO and turn VOLUME within 4 seconds to adjust the echo level. The echo level can be selected from 1 to MAX (7) or OFF (cancel). To change the delay time of echo Hold down ECHO while the echo is on. “L” (Long) and “M” (Middle) are displayed alternately. At the desired position, release the button. To record microphone sound mixed with source sound Follow the procedure for recording from the sound source (See page 17). SYNC DUB cannot be used for mixing recording. When not using the microphones Set the microphone volume and echo level to OFF and remove the microphones from MIC jacks.

● When the ECHO level is changed, the SURROUND system and the DOLBY PRO LOGIC are automatically canceled. ● When the MIC or ECHO is turned on while the 5.1 CH (page

28) is selected, the 5.1 CH is chaged to VIDEO.

● If a microphone is held too near the speakers, a howling sound may be produced. In this case, hold the microphone away from the speakers, or decrease the microphone volume. ● If sound through the microphone is extremely loud, it may be distorted. In this case, decrease the microphone volume. This unit can use discs or tapes as Karaoke sources. Use the vocal fader function for ordinary discs or tapes.

To clean the cabinet Use a soft and dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth lightly moistened with mild detergent solution, Do not use strong solvents, such as alcohol, benzine or thinner as these could damage the finish of the unit. To clean the heads and tape paths After every 10 hours of use, clean the heads and tape paths with a head cleaning cassette or cotton swab moistened with cleaning fluid or denatured alcohol. (These cleaning kits are commercially available.) When cleaning with a cotton swab, wipe the recording/playback head (deck 2 only), erasure head (deck 2 only), capstans, and pinchrollers.

After cleaning the heads and tape paths with a liquid head cleaning cassette or a moistened swab, wait until the cleaned parts are completely dry before inserting the tapes. To demagnetize the heads The heads may become magnetized after long-term use. This may narrow the output range of recorded tapes and increase noise. After 20 to 30 hours use, demagnetize the heads with any commercially available demagnetizer. Care of discs ● When a disc becomes dirty, wipe the disc from the center out with a cleaning cl ● After playing a disc, store the disc in its case. Do not leave the disc in places that are hot or humid. Care of tapes ● Store tapes in their cases after use. ● Do not leave tapes near magnets, motors, television sets, or any source of magnetism. This will downgrade the sound quality and cause noise. ● Do not expose tapes to direct sunlight, or leave them in a car parked in direct sunlight. If the unit fails to perform as described in these Operating Instructions, check the following guide. GENERAL There is no sound. ● Is the AC cord connected properly? ● Is there a bad connection?
