Welcome
Thank you for your purchasing this AIWA product.
To optimize the performance of this unit, please
read through this manual carefully.
In addition to this operating instructions manual,
be sure to refer to the separate installation and
connections manuals as well.
PRECAUTIONS
· This unit is designed to be operated on a 12-volt
DC negative-ground electrical system only.
· To prevent short-circuiting, disconnect the
negative car battery terminal until the unit has
been mounted and connected completely.
· When replacing the fuse, be sure to use one
whose amperage rating is identical. Use of a
fuse of higher amperage may cause serious
damage to the unit.
· Do NOT attempt to disassemble this unit. Laser
rays from the optical pickup are dangerous to
the eyes.
· Make sure that pins or other foreign objects do
not get inside the unit; they may cause
malfunctioning, or a safety hazard such as
electrical shock or exposure of laser rays.
· When your car was parked in direct sunlight
resulting in a considerable rise in temperature
inside the car, allow the unit to cool off before
operating it.
· Keep the volume at such a level that you can
hear outside warning sounds (horns, sirens,
etc.).
Notes on CDs
· A defective or soiled CD inserted in the unit can
cause sound to drop out during playback.
· Handle a CD by holding its
inner and outer edges.
· Do NOT touch the surface of the unlabeled side
of a CD.
· Do NOT attach any seal
or label to either side
(the labeled side or the
recorded side) of a disc.
· Do NOT expose the CD to
direct sunlight or excessive
heat.
· Clean the CD before
playback. Wipe the CD
from the center outward
with a cleaning cloth.
· NEVER use solvents such as benzine or alcohol
to clean a CD.
· Smaller 3-inch (8-cm) CDs cannot be played on
this unit. And do not use an adaptor as it may
cause a malfunction. NEVER insert a 3-inch (8-
cm) CD or its adaptor. If inserted, it may not eject.
· Do NOT use irregularly shaped CDs (example:
heart-shaped, octagonal ones). Doing so may
result in a malfunction. NEVER insert an irregularly
shaped CD. If inserted, it may not eject.

DETACHING AND
ATTACHING THE FRONT
PANEL
You can detach the front panel from the unit and

use the supplied carrying case.
1 Press and hold PWR for more than 2
seconds to turn the unit off.
2 Press OPEN to open the front panel
and pull it out as illustrated 1 ­ 3.
Notes
· When you leave the front panel open, do not put
anything on the panel.
· When you carry the front panel in the carrying
case, do not drop or apply mechanical shock to
the panel, and never let the panel become wet.
Attaching the front panel
1 Fit the lower side of the front panel to
its hinge pegs as illustrated 1 ­ 2.
2 Close the front panel.
Notes
· Do not press OPEN by accident when you push
the front panel to secure it in above procedure.
· Do not touch the connector on the reverse side
of the front panel, as doing so may contaminate

When the front panel is detached, you can find an
LED lamp on the front side of the unit. This lamp
is designed to deter theft, and continues to flash
when the front panel is detached. This unit is not
equipped with any other security system, such as
a security alarm, so there are limitations to its
effectiveness.
