Thank you for having the manual I needed for an older model Aiwa stero I had found on Ebay --- I wanted the Aiwa because I had tapes and cd's but I did not have a manual as to how to operate the system... I found what I needed and it has enabled me to set the system up for my enjoyment.

PLACEMENT
� Do not place the unit in a location where it will be exposed to direct sunlight or near a heating appliance. � Do not place the unit in a location where there is high humidity or a lot of dust. � Cartridge may pick up slight sound pressures or vibrations from the speakers coming along the floor or through the air resulting in feedback. Find a location which is very stable and vibration free. � The legs have functions for adjusting the height of the unit itself. Adjust the legs to stabilize the main body horizontally.
