The illustrations in this manual show the HE model.

BBE is a technology developed for professional studio and live use. It gives astonishing definition and clarity to music reproduction. It makes high-frequency sound especially clear and brings out the special character of vocals and solo instruments.

AIWA is the world's first manufacturer to employ the BBE sound in consumer audio equipment.

CD edit functions

Two different CD edit functions are available, and you can easily make original tapes according to your preference.

Other features

Amplifier section

• T-BASS for realistic reproduction at low sound levels.
- The desired tone quality can be selected from among three different preset tones.

Tuner section

- Synthesizer tuner.

- Internal daily event/sleep timer.

Cassette deck section

• High speed tape duplication.

CD player section
• Repeated playback of tracks.
- Playback of tracks in random order.

Sistema BBE

Follow the advice below for safe and correct operation.

On AC voltage (LH, HE, U, C models)

Before use, check that the rated voltage of your system matches your local voltage.

Model name	Rated voltage
NSX-330 LH, HE	120/220/240 V AC
NSX-A92 HE	selectable, 50/60 Hz
NSX-330 U, C	120/220-240 V AC
NSX-332 U	selectable, 50/60 Hz

To adjust the operating voltage

The system should have been set for use on your local voltage. If not, change the AC VOLTAGE selector on the rear panel with a screwdriver or similar object.

On placement

• Do not use the system in places which are extremely hot, cold, dusty or humid.
• Place the system on a flat, even surface.
• Be careful not to obstruct the ventilation holes on the rear panel, as increased internal temperature may affect the electric parts. In particular, do not place the system in an airtight rack.

On safety

• When connecting and disconnecting the AC cord, grip the plug and not the cord itself. Pulling the cord may damage it and thus be hazardous.
• When you are not going to use the system for a long period of time, disconnect the AC cord. If the cord is plugged in, a small amount of current keeps on flowing to the system even if the power switch is not ON.
• If the AC cord is broken or damaged, or if the wires are exposed, contact your dealer or an AIWA service station and have it replaced or repaired immediately.

On condensation

When the room is heated, you sometimes see water drops on your windows; this is called condensation.

This can occur inside the CD player unit when:
- it is moved from a cold spot to a warm spot.
- it is used in a room where the heating system has just been turned on.
- it is used in a place with a lot of moisture.
- it is used where it has direct contact with cool air, such as near an air-conditioner.

When it has condensation inside, the unit may not function normally. Let it stand for 1 to 2 hours before turning the power on; or, gradually heat the room and dry the unit before use.

Should any trouble occur, disconnect the AC cord and refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

For customers purchasing the U or C models

When using the unit in the AC 220-240V position, be sure to attach a suitable adaptor plug to the plug end of the AC cord. Adaptor plugs may be obtained at nominal cost from an authorized AIWA dealer.

• Be sure to connect correctly, according to the figure.
• Turn on the power after verifying that the connection is correct.

Notes on speaker connections

• Use speakers with an impedance of 6 ohms.
- This speaker system is magnetically shielded. However, if the speaker should affect the color on the TV screen, turn off the TV, and turn it on again 15-30 minutes later. If the TV screen still has poor color, place the speaker system away from the TV.
- Do not leave magnets or objects generating magnetism near the speaker system.

To turn on the system

Power is supplied to the system when the POWER button is pressed.

The system can be turned off by pressing the same button again.

When the power is turned on

The indicator of the function button previously used flashes for 4 seconds, and the operation buttons usable in the function light up.

For louder deep bass

Press the T-BASS button repeatedly and select one of the four levels for louder deep bass, or off position to your preference. Normally set to the second level.

For clear and vivid high-definition sound – BBE system

The two main causes of sound distortion are the deterioration of the higher harmonics and improper phase characteristics. The BBE system compensates for these causes of distortion to produce clear, high-definition sound reproduction closer to that of the original source.

Press the BBE button repeatedly and select one of the four levels, or off position to your preference.

Selecting a factory-preset equalization curve

To enjoy karaoke with an ordinary compact disc

Press the VOCAL FADER button to make the singer's voice softer than the accompaniment.

This function does not work correctly with the following CDs:

• Those with a monaural recording
• Those recorded with strong echoes
- Those with the vocal part recorded on the right or left side of the sound width

To echo the sound (NSX-330HE and NSX-A92HE only)

Slide the ECHO LEVEL lever toward MAX to increase the echo.

Notes

If a microphone is set too near the speaker, a howling may be produced. In this case, keep the microphone away from the speaker, or decrease the sound level.
- When not using the microphone, set the MIXING PLAY control to MIN and remove the microphone from the MIC jack.
Do not set the microphone volume too high, by observing the spectrum analyzer indication.
- For microphone mixing, it is recommended to use a unidirectional type microphone to prevent howling.
" The mixed sound cannot be recorded.

Battery replacement

When the maximum operation distance of the remote control decreases, replace the batteries with new ones.

Hints for correct operation

• For the remote control to operate, it should have an unobstructed line of sight with the REMOTE SENSOR. This is because the remote control uses infrared light rays.
• When there is a strong ambient light source, the performance of the infrared REMOTE SENSOR is degraded, which can cause unreliable operation.
• The recommended effective distance for wireless operation is 7 meters (23 feet). Operation can be performed at an angle of up to 30^irc from either side, but the effective distance becomes somewhat shorter.
• Using televisions with the same type of infrared remote control, in the same direction, will cause the system to operate incorrectly. Do not use other kinds of wireless remote controls at the same time.

Notes on batteries

• Do not mix different types of batteries, or old batteries with new ones.
• When you are not going to use the unit for a long period of time, remove them to prevent possible electrolyte leakage.

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

ATTENTION

This compact disc player is classified as a CLASS 1 LASER product. The CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT label is located on the rear exterior.

Note

This product is manufactured to comply with the radio interference requirements of EEC directive 82/499/ECC.

Nota

CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT USE THIS (POLARIZED) PLUG WITH AN EXTENSION CORD, RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE BLADES CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE

CAUTION!

Invisible laser radiation when open and inter locks defeated. Avoid exposure to beam.

ADVARSEL!
