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.
The manual was very helpfull, it answerdes all my questions, and i was surprized to find the original manual on this site! Big thumbs uP:)

Gain Controls
Turn the GAIN controls clockwise to increase gain and counter clockwise to decrease gain. The GAIN controls are marked in dB of attenuation. There are 21 detents for repeatable adjustments. The upper 14 steps are about 1 dB each, and settings should normally be made within this range. The range below 14 dB should not be used for normal program levels, as the input headroom could be exceeded, but can be used for testing at reduced levels. At the minimum setting, the signal is completely cut off. Note! The GAIN controls do not adjust the power of the amplifier. They adjust its sensitivity to input signals.

Power Switch
Push in on the top of the rocker switch to apply AC mains power to the amplifier. Push in on the bottom of the rocker switch to turn the amplifier off. When turned on, the blue PWR indicator LED and the red CLIP indicator LED will illuminate; after a few seconds the red CLIP indicator will extinguish.
