Frequently Asked Questions - NSX-MTD9 AIWA

How do I prevent condensation on the CD lens?

Moisture may form on the pickup lens when moving from a cold to warm place, after turning on heating, or in very humid rooms. Leave the unit for a few hours until it adjusts to the environment.

Can I record on a tape with broken erasure prevention tabs?

No, recording is inhibited if the tabs are missing. To record again, cover the tab openings with adhesive tape, but do not cover the Type II detection slot on CrO2 tapes.

How do I clean the tape heads?

Clean the heads every 10 hours of use with a separately sold dry-type or wet-type head cleaning cassette. Follow the cleaning cassette's instructions.

Why is there no sound from the surround speakers?

Ensure the DOLBY PRO LOGIC or SURROUND system is turned on. Also check that the headphones are not plugged in, as this mutes all speakers.

How do I reset the unit if it malfunctions?

Press POWER to turn off, then press and hold the CLEAR button while pressing POWER again. This clears all memory settings. If power cannot be turned off, unplug the AC cord, wait, then plug it back and repeat.

What type of cassette tapes can I use?

Use Type I (normal), Type II (high/CrO2), or Type IV (metal) for playback. For recording, use Type I or Type II. 120-minute or longer tapes are not recommended due to risk of damage.

How do I set the clock?

Press CLOCK, then within 4 seconds turn MULTI JOG to set hour and minute. Press ENTER or the play/pause button to start the clock from 00 seconds. Press CLOCK again to view the time.

Can I connect a turntable to this system?

Yes, use an Aiwa turntable with a built-in equalizer amplifier. Connect to the VIDEO/AUX jacks using an RCA cable.

What does the Dolby NR system do?

The Dolby Noise Reduction system reduces tape hiss noise. Turn it on (NR displayed) when playing or recording tapes that were recorded with Dolby NR. Turn it off for tapes recorded without Dolby NR.

How do I use the Karaoke function?

Connect microphones to MIC 1/2 jacks. Press KARAOKE repeatedly to select Vocal Fader (reduces vocals), Auto Vocal Fader (reduces vocals only when microphone input is present), or Multiplex (mutes one channel). Adjust microphone volume and echo level using MIC and ECHO controls.

DOLBY PRO LOGIC pg. 23

The DOLBY PRO LOGIC feature with the center and rear speakers (standard) assure full-scale home theater sound. 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 five surround 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 DOBY SURROUND

This unit is whumped with a built-in test signal generator called a noise sequencer for easy balance adjustment of all five 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.

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.

Use the remote control.

1 Press DOLBY PRO LOGIC to select NORMAL.

"NORMAL" is displayed.

If "PHANTOM" or "3 STEREO" is displayed, press DOLBY PRO LOGIC repeatedly until "NORMAL" is selected.

2 Press MANUAL SELECT and hold it down for about four seconds until "L" flashes.
